Many simmers put the batbox on every lot, burying it under bushes or letting the proud bat colors fly. If you don’t like burying it or flying it…
I wrote a SimPE tutorial on how to change it and other common mods to other objects easily, but not everyone uses SimPE, so here’s my personal favorite and a few extras all done for you.
The only place I keep the batbox on a lot is on owned retail lots, so I can periodically nuke the EA borkiness of the restocking signs. Because I want the batbox to fit my lot, I make it into a tipjar. Usually, I’d have to use OMSPs to place the tipjar on the counter, but I fixed this one so they aren’t needed.
I’m also including a few others I use: the batbox as genie lamp (it is pretty magical, right?), cactus (for Strangetown landscapes), and wishingwell (for your charming little hamlet). All of these batbox models have their own GUID so, if you want to, you can keep the orginal batbox as well as all of these to use on different lots (not all on the same lot, obviously). There are four in the file. Just delete the ones you don’t want.
