🎉Animated - Single Mute Swan🎉
ℹ️Single Mute Swan Pack
While making my Unlocked Bird's Nest & Unlocked Bird's Egg, I was already thinking about the possibility of making a breeding swan. As swans are almost always seen in couples though, I needed another swan to go with it.
(Animated) Static Mute Swan
The Static Mute Swan object will always start with animated water ripples around it. This makes the static swan also usable on water surfaces. When used as a breeding swan on my Unlocked Bird's Nest, you can switch this animation off using the interaction menu.
Animated - Swimming Mute Swan
For a more lively version of the Mute Swan, you can also use the animated single swimming swan version. In this case an invisible object spawns a single mute swan swimming around. It also moves it's head, just as the pair of swans object that's available in the Pond Effects category in build mode.
Something I fixed with these single swans compared to the pair of swans, is that mine actually float on the water surface instead of above it.
Deco Slot
The breeding static swan will automatically snap to a deco slot when close to it. This also counts for the deco slots in the Bird's Nest. To be sure it snaps to a non-rotated deco slot, first place eggs on 5 of the deco slots available inside the nest. The swan will then snap to the 6th deco slot in the middle over the eggs.
Placement
The Static Swan object can be placed both on terrain as on all water surfaces, the Animated Swimming Swan can only be placed on water surfaces. Both can be placed close to or even through other objects. Think about in between water reeds or inside the nest on eggs.
Be sure to activate the MoveObjects On cheat for placing the swan on the eggs in the nest without problems.

ℹ️Extra Notes
Short notes
• Both are standalone objects, so they won't override any other objects in game.
• They can be found by going to Build mode > Outdoor Water Décor > Pond Effects.
• You can also find them by typing 'Mute Swan' into the search bar.
• The object's catalog thumbnails, show the Mute Swan and my "BakieGaming" icon in the lower right corner.
Pack Requirements
Base Game Compatible
Game Version

====================================
========📷 EXAMPLE IMAGES 📷=======
Besides using the Static Swan on the Bird's Nest, you can also use it on terrain in between grasses for example.
As you now have a separate animated swan too, you decide how far away from each other they will swim. Or decide that only one swan will swim in your pond.

I want to deeply thank you for your mods and your cc. Over the course of years I've used them a lot in my builds, especially the scenery/fields ones to make them lively with animated animals and insets. Do know, that your effort do not go unnoticed, you're the only one I think to have this kind of cc and I'm very grateful for you work ♥ (I love the rock climbing park it's so well done that I want to use it in every single save that I have🤣) Will you share other builds like that as well, for example the water cave or another rock climbing lot in the desert ?
Hi Icy Vicy, First of all, thank you very much for your kind words! These are the comments that make me feel very happy :) As for sharing more lots, I'm working on some Asian/Japanese unlocked items from the Snowy Escape EP and building a Japanese garden for it. You can already see a small part of it in the post from last Friday with the Black Swans. I'm planning to eventually release this lot in the same way as I did with the Rock Climbing Park. I do want to make more lots and share them as I haven't made full decorated lots in a while, but now with the Japanese Garden I have so much fun! So let's hope I can find some time in between making more mods to make some nice lots as well. 🙏☺️ I also still want to make some show-case videos, but I need more time and less ideas 😅.
Bakie, would you please consider making some early access "rooms" with ponds, lakes, rivers, lava pools, waterfalls, and so on, filled with your animated sfx/vfx cc? By theme? So we can place them, already ready-to-go, onto/next to our lots/builds? Like that huge national climbing park you once made. But, instead, about 10x10, and as tray 'room's?
You mean like the pond I made to show these swans? And upload that one as a download together with other vfx mods I made?
