I'm unsure of which forums is the appropriate one to post this in so I apologize in advance if this is placed incorrectly.

I would like to make a request of some of our resident graphic geniuses - I can't see those darned cobwebs! I've managed to get the trophy several times because I discovered a cobweb location simply by accident on one of my first families, but I have never actually been able to SEE a cobweb. Is there a mod any of you can do that can help with this?

TIA

I've only seen them in one place:

BayouBlonde I'd gladly make you a mod Sweetie, though I'm in the fifth generation on a number of families and have yet to have seen a cobweb.

Whaaaat ...?

Of course, this is the gal who can't find remotes, either.

There is a mod. One of the collectible mods also highlites socks, wrappers and cobwebs

I can see the cobwebs, but when I had the earlier versions I couldn't. When I updated to 1.00.05 I did delete all my current families and restart them though -- that's what I've done each time I upgraded. Personally though, I would prefer NOT to see them -- they are ugly, lol!

I just drop them in the place mentioned above. I was trying to get someone to use that spot for something else and poof they began cleaning cobwebs! I tried the same location on several families and it seemed to work... it just irritates me that I've never SEEN them. But yeah, I had several 4th gens as well and I would be greatly appreciative of a mod, Lewanda. I've seen your work and it would be exactly what I'm looking for. I don't particularly want something that would make them glow in the dark or look out of place; I just want to see them.

Here BayouBlonde, see if this is better for you Sweetie. I just made them twice as thick but didn't change the color. If you still have a problem after this feel free to PM me, and I'll try something else.

You know I never saw them before reading your post and reading the spoiler one of the others put up. They're almost invisible in the game.

I saw my first cobweb when I started one of my families over from the start after updating to the newest version.

There not pretty to look at anyway.

Lol!!! Those things are almost invisible in the game.. I didn't see them until I read your spoiler a few min's ago. I really wasn't looking hard for them either though, as I'd never really given them much thought until BayouBlonde asked for a mod.

Lewanda, are you seeing them in a game that was started new after you installed version .05? Because in my game they are really easy to see and really ugly.

hmmm, I do have a mod though that makes it easier to see the weeds, the wrappers, socks, collectibles, etc. Maybe that's what's causing mine to look so ugly.

I have seen 2 cobwebs and I only started playing VF since the last 2 weeks.

If there's not very much going on in the game I'll sometimes drop a peep in the necessary place and usually they'll start clearing the cobweb, even though I can't see if one is there or not. I I put my face about an inch from the screen and squint hard I'll usually see one.

Arnie, if you'll look back to last night you'll see that I posted a mod where I made the cobweb more visible. I jsut made it a bit darker. The download also has a bit more brighter weeds so they can be seen at night.

Lewanda!

You totally ROCK!!!!! I am on my 5th generation with most of my families and I have purchased all the upgrades in the game. I log on everyday to see your new mods. After you get all the upgrades and are just working on completing the trophies (94 of 100) changing out the mods still make the game interesting and fun. I have seen several posts suggesting expansion packs for VF and I'm definitely in favor of that happening. I have one family with $74,568.89 and nothing to spend the money on but clothes and food. Just thought I'd let you know how much I appreciate the work you post!

Lewanda,

Sorry, I wasn't clear what I meant.

I intended to indicate that it doesn't really matter all that much if you can't see a the cobweb; if a peep is dropped in the right place it'll get cleared away. I assume it does take a while before they reappear, but I've never checked.

I'm not denigrating your mods in the slightest by this. I think you are doing a great job; they are excellent, and I'm especially impressed by the speed at which you are producing them.

I can't take too much credit, myself ... I accidentally found my first one the same way BayouBlonde did: trying to get someone to do something else.

I clean 'em up when I think about it, but don't worry about it otherwise. Kinda like I do in real life.

*drumroll please*
I see.... COBWEBS!!!

Thank you sooo much, Lewanda!!! It is perfect and is exactly what I was hoping for! The weed tweak is also perfect and not overly imposing.

Simsane hun, I think you have the other mod that I didn't want (no offense intended to the creator.) It's just a bit too obtrusive for me. I like the fact that some rare collectables are a bit harder to see than others (ex. dragonflies.) It just annoyed me that the cobwebs were completely invisible.

Lewanda, I completely agree about your mods. I had the all the upgrades and tons of money on several families before my game files were accidentally erased. Your mods kept the game fresh and new and made me feel as if I still had things to offer my older families.

My reason for wanting to know when the cobwebs are there... well, I guess I am a bit OCD about keeping my little families' homes clean and tidy. I have this theory that it somehow affects their health and frequency of illnesses.
