I liked the effect of the moving water on the Bodiddly RR and decided to use the same on the PRR route I am working on. It is easy to do, though a rather tedious task. First install Sky! and engage your route in it using the program built into it to do the task. Secondly, download and install Richard garber's Bodiddly RR and install it. Go to his web site (http://www.edmfamily.com/msts/bo3.htm) and get the patch that integrates Sky! and AWE! and, following the directions therein, install it. The next step is to take ENVFILES directory in the Bodiddly RR and replace the ENVFILES directory in your own route (Backup your ENVFILES directory). The final step is the most tedious and painstaking. Go into the Sky subdirectories where you will find the various weather conditions with such names as a-breeze, a-cotton (there are about ten directories) etc go into the them where you will find a route subdirectory. Enter this subdirectory and delete the subdirectory which contains your route. Make a copy of the existing Bodiddly in this route directory to the same directory and rename it with your route's directory name. Be sure if you have added any custom transfers and have used them that they are located in the appropriate TERRTEX directories. I had used the mountain stream kit and my route hung up in winter mode until I had install the aappropriate ace file in the winter and snow directories under TEXTURES and TERRTEX. Back up the project as you carry out the appropriate steps.
