Apple Bobbing Tank - Fix for Children

Hello,
when playing The Sims 3, you might have experienced this problem as well: In specific instances, children cannot use the Apple Bobbing Tank. I had this problem as well and found this thread: Children Can't Bob For Apples | EA Forums - 904684

With the help of that thread, I came to the solution why it happens: It has to do with the fact that the Apple Bobbing Tank blocks off too much walkable space (at least when placed diagonally). When reducing this value (the so-called footprint areas) then children can use Apple Bobbing Tanks, no matter in which angle they are placed.

Everybody can do that, but it does involve several steps (cloning the object, then finding the necessary values and setting them to appropriate numbers). So I uploaded the resource containing the correct values on ModTheSims. It can be downloaded from here: https://modthesims.info/d/694012/apple-bobbing-tank-fix-for-children.html

Just download the file and put it into your mods folder like every other mod. If the Apple Bobbing Tank was placed beforehand, then you need to reset its values before it works. For that, go into buy mode, pick up the Apple Bobbing Tank, and either place it back down or press Escape. You only have to do this once per object. If you start a new game/neighbourhood, then already placed Apple Bobbing Tanks will still have the original value, so you need to do the abovementioned steps as well, but again, only once.
If you should still have trouble, or if you want to know the details of how to create that fix yourself, feel free to comment here or on ModTheSims.
