Help for you!

I think your pond water surface hider is exactly what I need--I'm building a community aquarium, and I have a two storey tank made from the swimming pool, with the fish from both Maxis fish tanks (minus original tanks) placed on invisible slot files in groups--but I've been going nuts for quite awhile, trying to figure out some way to include an exhibit of the pond fish that can be viewed through some sort of window, but the pond water keeps getting in the way!
With some funky wall building, I think I can finally pull it off
And as much as I've always wanted a swimmable pond, those floor tile edges have always deterred me...
I'm going to have a look at your Blue Water Camping lot, and see what new possibilites open--I've already thought of frustrating building situations that I can use all three of these tools in.
Cheers!

Well, I'm no expert in aquarium building, but I think I know something that could help you. First, start with your lot. Get the ground tool or whatever and make the ground 2 stories lower than ground level if you want the tank to be two stories high (any height you want) then, with the
moveobjects on cheat, put in two stories of plain wall up against the sides of the hole. Then, using this:

Then, using the water tool, cover all of the land from the side of the wall out, then use stairs to make the little room accessible for your sims. Hope this helps!
