This is a pack of two mods which fix appearance issues of the fountain Aqueduct of the Future! (introduced in Pets) in the neighborhood view:
Known issues
Custom recolors that haven't been updated will flash blue in the neighborhood view after you install the neighborhoods recolors enabled mod and save lots they're on.

- neighborhood position fix: makes the position of the fountain correspond to its real position on a lot. In a vanilla game, it's shifted by 1.5 squares;
- neighborhood recolors enabled: makes a color of the fountain match its color in the lot view. Originally, it's always white. Custom recolors need to be updated in order to work properly with the mod – see the known issues and updating custom recolors sections.

Updating custom recolors in SimPe
- Extract (right click on a resource » Extract…) the fountainatomicage_fountainatomicagelod90_fountain_white_txmt resource from the simNopke-aqueductOfTheFutureNhoodRecolorsEnabled file.
- Import (right click in the Resource View window » Add…) the extracted resource into your recolor file.
- In the Resource tab, update the Group field of the TXMT resource you've just imported to match the group of your already existing TXMT (most probably it's 0x1C050000).
- In the Plugin View tab, copy a filename of your already existing TXMT (e.g. fountainatomicage-[meb-15.8.2015-152b2c]_fountain_white_txmt).
- In the Plugin View tab, change a filename of the imported resource to the one you've just copied and replace _fountain_ with _fountainatomicagelod90_fountain_ (e.g. fountainatomicage-[meb-15.8.2015-152b2c]_fountainatomicagelod90_fountain_white_txmt).
- Click fix TGI next to the Filename field in order to fix instances.
- Copy the new filename.
- In the cMaterialDefinition subtab, paste the copied filename into the Description field. Remove _txmt at the end (e.g. fountainatomicage-[meb-15.8.2015-152b2c]_fountainatomicagelod90_fountain_white).
- In the Categorized Properties subtab, in the Default Textures group, update a stdMatDiffCoef property to match a color of your recolor.
- Click the Commit button in the right top corner.
- Save your recolor file.
