I've made some more wood recolors for the birdhouses.
To show you they will match all kinds of wallpapers, I've made 3 examples, each with a different wallpaper.
If I had to choose which one to use for each wallpaper, I would go for the second from the top for on the brick wall, the thir...

Another update on an aviary object I'm working on, a bird house.
Of course an object like this one can easily be used outside an aviary too against a normal outside wall or maybe even a tree.
Right now though, this object will stick to walls and you will need the Eco Lifestyle pack to be...

Hi everybody,
I still needed to show you my own aviary birds!
Right now I have 2 bird species. On the first and second image, you see my Bourke's parrots (parakeets). These are Australian parakeets. The first one is the male and he looks like how they normally look in the wild too wi...
I was able to fix the shadow for the fence! Now there's coming sunlight into aviaries too.
Which really looks a lot better then the big shadow. :)
I Had to make 3 separate files each with one recolor, then be sure to give them all the same Object ID so they would all spawn under one cat...
I've also worked on a short rope with additional recolors and 3 deco slots on top so birds can be placed on top of it.
I struggled quite some time with some strange shadows on these ropes and another object I've also worked on and which will be shared later. Turned out it weren't those obje...

In the images above a better look at the fence recolors.
The first one is the original fence color, the white and black one are made by me.
Something I still want to try is making the shadow more realistic as right now it doesn't really shows the fence holes, it's just one plane shadow. ...

I haven't been sharing updates anymore as there's a heatwave in the Netherlands right now. It's even the longest in history for our country. Because of this heat, I can't sit in my 'pc room' as it's simply too hot in here. I did try with a fan, but I still can't sit longer then h...

Hello everyone,
I've took some time this morning to work on the aviaries a bit more despite the heat wave and I've done a few different things that are partly visible on the screenshots above.
But let's start with some more Zoo-Tropolis news first. Right now it looks ...
2020-08-10 11:16:37 +0000 UTC View PostI've asked in the Zoo-Tropolis Discord chat if people were still interested in doing such a thing and only one so far has responded. This person (TheKalino) did respond with a list of all her animals so it seems at least one still thinks it could be a cool thing.
Although I know from ...

SHORT WALLS
The first screenshot on which no short walls are used, can probably better be used as chicken coop or maybe even a dog shelter.
On the second one, I used a wooden recolor of a custom short wall only at the bottom while raising the fence to the roof.

I've just fixed the Short Angled Box Window, but haven't uploaded the updated pack to YouTube yet. This will happen in a few minutes too, but in that case it's the whole pack.
For now, you can download only the updated file here as I've attached it to this post.

As promised, a few pictures of our kitten Puck!
Especially the second one I like because of the crazy way she fell asleep and because all her different colors are perfectly visible.

I've read that while I was away, EA has released a new patch for the game which also fixes the Short Angled Box Window from my Eco Lifestyle Window pack from last week. While using my override though, the window still seems to be broken.
I will update that somewhere this week too, so it doe...

Eco Lifestyle - Windows + Deco Slots - Overrides

Hi all,

I've had a very busy weekend as I with the help of my father in law have made a tiled floor in the garden for my soon to be delivered (or at least I hope) aviary! 😀 😀 😀
This is something I already wanted for a long time since...
In the images above, the final two windows that I've added deco slots to.
For both the small as medium deco slots counts that not all have been used in the images above as they partly overlap each other to give more possiblities when decorating the window sills.

For the window above I wasn't planning to add deco slots as I thought it didn't had flat surfaces. Turned out it does! So with the two other windows I still have to do, there're will be 13 window overrides with slots added to them.

The two windows visible on these screenshots, only have addtional small and medium deco slots on the outside of the window as indoors there's isn't the option for additional deco slots as it's all flat.

The first image shows the left and right Angled Box Windows. On the outside I placed a single medium deco slot. I won't be placing small deco slots on the outside of the windows as all objects that fit on small deco slots automaticaly also fit onto medium slots. I also don't think small objects w...

Instead of only adding deco slots to the window sills on the inside, I've decided to add some to the outside of the windows I've already worked on too.
For the 1x1 Angled Box Windows this means a single medium deco slot on top of the windows. The 3x1 Longbox Window got 7 additional medium s...

The windows on the first image are exactly the same, but it's to compare it with the second one. On that second image, you'll see the small slots on the left and the medium on the right. Though the left part of the right window shows some examples of small slots.
