fishing still doesn't work when all hacks are gone!

My pond is 6x6 and I dug it as deep as it will go. I can see the fish swimming around, but no action is available. I've tried moving my mouse around the whole pond slowly trying to find the "hot spot", but there isn't one!



jenny, have you tried to move your Downloads folder out of the game? If not, you really need to try it because of all the fishing problems I've read about they have all been caused by an incompatiable hack\mod.

I have a pond I made in ST on one of my lots. It's fairly big and deep with it tapering to a shallow. It took a couple of days before fish showed up in the pond. Its on the lot next to the grunts and the length is about half the size of the lot and it comes over to about the walkway in the back yard. Hope that kind of helps, I never counted the tiles it took up.

Yes, I just tried it. I moved my whole downloads folder out (btw I LOVE how fast the game loads up w/o it! lol). I went into the Dreamer's lot and built a huge pond and dug it as deep as it could go and I tried with and without the useshaders cheat. And still nothing!!! Grrr!!! I don't know what else to do!!!!:redface:

*edit* Went back into the game (with downloads folder still not in the game) and Darren Dreamer was able to fish on a community lot. But no fishing from home.

jenny, the only other suggestion I can give you is move your downloads out like you did, go to My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\. Find the Groups.cache folder, it looks more like an icon, but it is the only one called Groups.cache. Delete it by right clicking on it one time and select delete from the pop up menu. Start your game, it will re spawn the groups.cache with out hack\mod info that may have been retained in the old one. Go into the game. Find a house with an existing pond that meets size requirements. Have a sim try to fish. If this does not work you are beyond my knowledge level with your problem Good luck! Post if you have questions and to report results.
