Problems with Fish and other Seasons actions
Dunner:
All of these questions are with the game newly installed and no hacks inside of my downloads folder.
First of all, the pool's graphics are BAD... I mean, the water is completely still... as still as the ponds. I'm guessing that it's some sort of auto-disable thing from Maxis (similar to the sims limits at parties?), but now my pools don't have any movement, reflection or anything.
Second, I can fish in my ponds; they're both deep and wide enough, but I can't actually SEE the fish in the pond until they catch them. I thought from the trailers/videos that you should be able to see them?
And, last, none of my sims will overheat or freeze to death, either one! They'll get cold (that is, their temperature gauge will turn blue and drop), but that's all that happens... In fact, it will sometimes balance back out into the green and then it won't change at all. I have heard that this could be a problem involving sims using custom content though.
All of my in game graphics settings are to either high and medium, according to what it is... My reflections are turned on and I don't see why my pool water looks so bland.
Jenna:
In regards to the fish/water problem, they probably adjusted the requirements for it again. Prior to Open for Business, I used to be able to see fish in my aquariums. From that EP forward, they disappeared. As I expected with Seasons, I don't see fish in my pond either. From what I understand, it's mostly related to your video card. Here's a somewhat-related thread explaining that (and a possible fix):

As for the overheating/freezing to death issue, I've experienced that as well. From what I've experienced, custom objects that cause your Sim to change clothes (LizzLove's Swinger's Bed, for example) seems to cause the game to ignore the consequences from overexposure.
...I'm still investigating this issue.
Dunner:
Whoo!
'boolprop useshaders true' worked fine; all my little fishies blipped in place (including the ones in the pond) and my swimming pool reanimated.
The only problem was that the pool's floor tiles were flashing blue, but since Season allows you to change them now, I just put down a new type and it's all good.
Now, we've just got to worry about the freeze/heat thing. lol

I used boolprop cheat that and nothing happened. I don't get the snow x-ray options, my pools are boring and I haven't seen fish in my tanks for a while now. :(
Do I have to enter it then restart my game or does it reset and I have to do it every time I play?
This bites. I have a really good video card, I do not want to or plan to buy a new one.
Dunner:
Unless you add it to the startup.cheat file, you'll have to type it in every time you play. Type it in on the Neighborhood screen, though, not on a lot, or the pools won't update.
Also, fish in the ponds take just a few "sim minutes" to appear. They'll stick their heads up in the water and then start swimming around.
