Hey, :bunny:
I hope this question isn't too simple or otherwise inappropriate for this forum...
I've made this set (http://www.modthesims2.com/member/showthread.php?t=284114&c=1&ht=0&page=2&pp=25#startcomments) with transparent coloured planes to place over the water surface that will change the colour of the water surface.
I think it's quite easy to use but there's also one problem: Seasons or Free Time users can't fish in the ponds with such planes :( . The options of the water are not clickable any more because they are blocked by my mesh.
Do you know a way how I can make the water surface clickable through my object? But I still need of course an area where to grab the mesh... Do you know how I can do this???

Thanks in advance for all replies!

Clickable areas are defined by bounding mesh.
When you import a mesh to SimPE, note checkbox to the right, 'use in bounding mesh (by Pinhead)' - you need to uncheck it if you don't want current part to be clickable. I don't know, though, if you'll still be able to pick/move an object in Build mode if you'd make all of it not included to bounding mesh.
There were some issues with bounding mesh for boned objects, so better leave a backup of your package before playing with it :)

Ok, thank you!
I'll try it later but perhaps it's easier to just make another little pond for fishing... :duck:
