Moon Pool Update a1.78

I've decided to place the old ornamental Whats in the moon pools as placeholders for the fully breedable Whats that I've been working on for a while.  These ornamental Whats do not necessarily represent the final product (the breedable version is already considerably better...), but I thought that I'd give the new breeders a chance to collect some cosmetic goodies that I gave out a few years ago.

In addition, the moon pool update has been given a few system upgrades that make everything work out a little better.  This may make it easier to gather energy on sims that were previously having a few problems with script time or time dilation.

In order to get one of these ornamental Whats, you just have to gather energy and empower your updated (version a1.87) moon pools just like you've been doing.  At some point in this progress (it's a random chance as the moon pool gains power), a little (♥) will appear at the end of the moon pool's hovertext.  This means that the moon pool has gathered enough energy to create a What!  A new menu option will appear, "What!?", when you click the moon pool.  Using this option will discharge the energy and pop out a little gem containing an ornamental What that you can birth as usual.
 
 These ornamental Whats are just toys, and placeholders for the final, breedable product.  Their tail size increases based on the pet's size ranging from Dwarf all the way up to Mondo just like the other pets.  When orbit-mode is enabled on them they zip around and try to chase their own tails =)
 
 Updating your moon pools is as simple as getting a new, upgraded moon pool (version alpha 1.78) from the store, clicking it, choosing "Drain", and selecting your moon pool that already has progress.  All of your moon pool's tiers and fairy magic will transfer into the new pool.  However, if you already had a little (♥) on your old pool's hovertext, it will be lost.  This condensed fairy magic is temporary and can't transfer from one pool to the next.


WARNING:  Updating your moon pools on very laggy sims has a small chance of causing data loss and other troubles.  If your sim is behaving particularly poorly or you are having lots of imploding cocoons, please wait to update your moon pool until your sim is being more friendly with your pets.  This goes for all updates, pet mating, and similar activities that require communication between resources.  If your sim is being particularly laggy it may end up failing to handle the handshakes properly.  If you have too many pools in one place this may be a rocky process -.-
