Problem with the new large elegant aquarium...

This is where I find myself somewhat baffled as to the point of the 'get hue' function. Ok, probably helpful for rares, but there's no flippin way to match that hue to the dyes & tubs we have available so we can actually *use* the thing. What is the point?

Oh, and I just made a wall version instead. I like those, but I wanted one large aquarium. Clearly, I'm not going to be able to have one!

Lol, I'd rather gouge my eyeballs out with a rusty spoon than watch any kind of football!

When I was a kid, we had tropical fish. I've never been good at this sleeping thing, so I'd sneak out of bed with a book & sit in my bedroom door to watch the fish & read while the tank lights were on. Dunno how many times I got scooped up once I'd dozed off & deposited into bed, but I must've been there almost every other night. I still like aquariums, still enjoy watching the fish. Ok, the UO version isn't the same, but, pretty blues!

Could you place a garden bed on the floor directly above it? Or maybe plants?
You guys have to also know, unless it was fixed, no matter how well you follow maintain, yes maintain not improve. random sea creatures will die. I told K this, he got mad.
I use the small fish coffin and when it says dead I just ax it it and replace. It has no fish.
Good news is the new sea creatures are quite beautiful. I look at them on vendor search.

I probably could, but then I have to rearrange that bit too. I'll just stick with the wall mounted version, leave it at that.

A garden bed will NOT cover the large aquarium if it sticks through the floor the middle bit still sticks up, neither will granite blocks unless you raise them to the maximum. You can cover it with something that stands high like the waterwheel. Even then it is a drag.

Better off to use the small one or the wall one unless you can find something huge to go over it.

Cailleach - is the garden plot part the one sold in UO store or dirt patch you left when making castle and then placing vegetables upon it? Looks cool either way!

It's the one I made when I built the house - it's an 18x18 customisable - and thank you :)

Its and issue with several of the newer items. Wooden ship paintings do the same thing.
The china cabinet and pie safe do this too if you set them on the counters. And some of the new paintings. So many things on the ever lengthening snag list that probably don't need to be there if just a little care were taken when they're designed...

Apparently those items, according to the Devs, were not meant to sit on top of the counters....which is weird as so many people thought they would look great like that, including me! :(

Then they should've been made slightly taller so no one was tempted to use them to create a Welsh Dresser effect? As they are, they're like the UO dolls house version!

I said exactly that when they first came out, they should have been taller, or smaller so they could be used on top, or maybe for that price one of each! ;)
I'm pretty sure there was a picture of them on top though....or maybe that was just wishful thinking!

I don't think the problem is the cupboards it's the counters are too big.

Every counter/table since the King's Collection has been too tall and/or shirts in the tile wrong.

Clipping through the floor is a z-axis issue that should theoretically be "easy" to fix. Simply ensure that floor tiles at a greater Z have draw precedence when they should be viewable.

Yeah, you have a point there, I've noticed in recent years everything seemed to get more over-sized, some of those potted plants were monstrous! :eek:
