Creator's Description:
In the spirit of both Halloween and the Fantasy monthly theme, here is a new ride for your fantasy simmies, in the form of a giant vampire bat.
It's found in the Buy Mode screen under Vehicles/Cars, a bargain at 500 simoleons. It needs a car parking space, and because of the width of this item, its footprint is four tiles wide, so you need to position your parking space with some spare room around it. It was made from a base game car, so you don't need any expansion packs. It has one recolourable channel.
ISSUES:
1) There is a row of stretched tiling along the spine of the bat - I just could not get it any better than that due to the UV map being so crowded that there wasn't any room to adjust that part of the map any further (the mesh is adapted from the Sims 2 vampire bat mesh, in which the map is mirrored and there is no room to pull that area any further across). As the bat looks best in a dark leathery material such as the dark purple 'distressed leather' I've set it to default to and most people probably aren't going to want to pattern it, this probably won't be a problem, but if you do want to get creative or silly with patterns, most will look great with no problems but some will look like they have a 'join' in the middle.
2) When carrying children as passengers, their legs stick straight out with their feet hanging down at an unnatural angle. I don't think there's a way to fix that, unfortunately.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

Thank for looking and I hope you'll find this useful for your Halloweeny, Gothy, Vampy or other fantasy sims.
