I just ran windows update and saw now default updates, but I noticed a listing for an Nvidia download. I also downloaded from that DirectX link. Did the installation show months from the past two years for everyone else? and February 07. I hope this works.

Well, seeing as how I tried entering the cheat with and without capitalization, that is irrelevant, but it's a great thing to argue about in some other topic because I am still missing my fishies in this one With or without capitalization, the boolprop useshaders true cheat causes my game to freeze for a few seconds and then has no effect on anything whatsoever.

Actually, as Wednesday said, I found that cheats do work without capitalization and when they are entered incorrectly you get the error message. When I used the "MaxMotives" cheat, I just typed in "maxmotives," and the effects are immediately apparent in that case.

I just bought seasons, and like many others, I have invisible fish. Every once in a while I see a splash in the pond, and I assume that there should be a fish jumping out of the water. I've only noticed the splashes just before and after fishing, but then again, that's the only time that I really pay attention to the ponds. I loaded up the famer from Riverblossom, Leod McSomething, and plopped down a fish tank next to the pond and left him fishing for two days(maxmotives) while entering "boolprop useshaders true" and "boolprop useshaders false" every few minutes, I also turned "vsync" on and off just to see what it did, which as far as I can tell was nothing. I never saw any fishies which made m very sad... On an almost completely unrelated note, is there anyway to keep fruit trees from becoming "sickly" while they are out of season?

I suppose that I never really asked my question... Is there a hack to go around the option to enable the special event camera being...greyed out? unselectable? something like that...

I saw a few topics about the special event camera that shows first woohoo's, birth's, etc., but they were all closed and nobody had posted a solution. I was just wondering if there was a hack or something to go around EA/Maxis limiting certain cards like the maximum number of visitors cheat. I am sure that I'll end up disabling the cinematics eventually, but seeing as how I can't see them, I want to! at least for now...

This is my first post so,  hi everyone. I'm going to go make my signature...
