Thank you for this! Living in a city that prides itself on its pure water, that pond bugged me.

Thank you soooo much!!!
I rarely used the original one because it was so dirty looking! But your recolor will definitely be put to good use!!!
Thank you again!

Thank you !!!

If you have a better graphics card the edging will match the terrain too! Great job, I love it.

I'm going to keep my eyes peeled and see if someone can figure out how to make this color replace the default, but if not, this is *so* going in my downloads folder.

Oh thank god finally someone fixed this
The original looked like a tar pit...looked horrible
Thanks so much for making this : )

It is good that they are separate versions. The original works well for the swamps.

Thank you!

Oh, that pond is my favorite neighborhood object. I call it Dead Marsh and believe it is where souls of deleted sims dwell.
Your recolor ruined all the gloomy mood! :P

At last - a pond that doesn't look like a toxic waste dump. Thank you.

If it is a separate file, could this work with base game?

@Lance: Well, you can't be gloomy all the time! But luckily for you, this doesn't replace the tar pit, so you can have Dead Marsh and...Alive Marsh!

@DigitalSympathies: Yes, my poor 7-year-old laptop and it's poor 128MB video card! My neighborhood view is unfortunately not very purty. But that's OK. It's not like I sit and stare at it or anything.

@harlequin_eyes: I'm sure the original can be default-replaced; I just don't know how to do it. For anyone who does know how to do it, I'll gladly send my working Photoshop .PSD to anyone who wants it so that it matches. But I kind of like that they're separate. The original one would work well in a post-apocalyptic/gloomy kind of setting. It's just that I don't generally play in that sort of setting.

@kurpe: As far as I can tell, it doesn't work in the base game. I was curious so I put the file into my base-game AnyGame and my up-to-Pets building AnyGame, and it didn't show in either. So, I guess it's still linked to the AL file, so it will require AL. Sorry.

To everyone else: I'm glad that you'll find this useful. I certainly use this pond more now!

Nice idea. Neighborhood decorations add a little something - when they don't look like a tar pit. Thanks for fixing it.

looks so much better
that other thing looks like a swamp or something xD
