I've not had problems with showers or fishing (if the pond is deep enough) but I am having trouble with snow... when it snows the yard goes all flashy blue... help?
I've heard this sometimes happens when you have custom ground cover. If not then it might be your graphics card. My game looked great until it snowed heavily, then all the surrounding lots would turn black. I went online and updated my graphics card driver for free and now everything looks fabulous. Whew!
If updating your driver doesn't work, then you might have to get a new graphics card (or just live with the flashy blue for a while).
