Problems with Fish and other Seasons actions
bulldawg:
I had the same thing with my Saved Sim file. Bodyshop would always crash if I tried to open it. Finally found information about what Sim PE does. Now I have no problems.
Glad to hear you know of the benefits of the group.cache file. Wow, I was complaining and I only uninstalled once! LOL You were doing that every week. YIKES! But it does back up what I said about uninstalling being your last resort. The majority of the time, there is no need to.
I agree that the graphics card will help. Think I gave the impression I thought it wouldn't make a difference. It does, but there are better alternatives you can do first. If you didn't check out my link, I suggest you do. What I liked was how they test the game by using a variety of video cards, RAM, CPU's etc. It gives a balanced view of how the game works. Their approach is scientific because they test using different methods and compare the results.
You're a download junkie too huh? My download file is about 13 gig at the moment and it takes 25-40 minutes for the game to load. About 5 - 10 minutes top to load the neighbourhood. The same for my first lot. But once I use a lot and exit. All lots load in less than a minute. The same for CAS, once I have used it and want to create another family, it takes less than a minute. Makes me laugh really, my first PC couldn't even store all the information in my downloads folder! LOL
I can't think of any other tips. I'm sure something will come to me, though. LOL
Take Care!

Wow, I've been reading through all of your posts and I have to say the information here is phenomenal. Thanks all for posting. I am using all the tips I heard here and hope things go smoothly. I still am not sure how to edit my video card options though so I can get the in game option for the snow x-ray. But as I haven't yet gotten anywhere near Winter I suppose I have time. :)
I have around 750ram and am tabbing to tigerdirect now to order more. My video card is a Radeon 9200 series. 128 gb of video memory I believe, I bought it when I bought my computer because I heard that it was the best for gaming rather then more video memory or something like that. But I guess it's kind of true because my hubbys comp has 256 video memory Radeon 9800se and I can two box most of my games and his computer chokes and vomits if I try. >.>
I don't have the uberest computer but I take really good care of it and am amply rewarded for it. ;)
Again thanks for all the great information. It is going to great use. :D

Hi all
I'm new to this site and to the forum and have to say it provides really good info. Unfortunately I wasn't able to read all the threads, but a few of them and I have a really annoying problem. I can't fish. I mean my cursor changes when on a pond, but i can't click anything and no menu pops up ... nothing. I really don't know what's the problem. Should be because I don't see the fish or why? I read that some of you actually can't see them but still can fish. Please help me with this. Thanks a lot.
Disco Dancer:
Yeah i have had problems with the Over-heating thing to I just got Seasons so I wanted to see what happens when they freeze and get sunburnt but it just went down/up and no more???

For the fish thing the pond may not be deep enough or it could just be a glitch?
Dunner:
With the fish ponds, yeah, make sure that the pond is deep enough... Usually about 4 clicks down when you're placing water is good, but make sure the pond is wide too.
If you use the InSIMenator itself, make sure that you've downloaded the most up-to-date version. The older versions can cause errors in the game including not being able to fish.
Failing these two things, temporarily remove any hacks that you have in the game and check to see if that's causing the problem. It takes some time if you've got a lot of hacks, especially if you've got to check them one by one.
About the X-ray cursor, it became available to me in the Options panel once I used the UseShaders cheat. Frankly, I keep the X-ray cursor disabled, as I don't like it too much. Besides, I'm a responsible player; I'm not going to leave any puppies/kittens/babies out in the snow. ;)
EDIT: I'm still having the freezing/overheating problem myself; the ONLY way I've been able to see either one is through the new InSIMenator options. lol I was hoping very much that they would have fixed it in the first patch, but they didn't hardly do anything! Now, we'll have to wait about another 2 weeks for the next patch to be released. :(
