Title: Aquariums have no fish????
Post by: Ms. Simbodies on July 13, 2007, 11:40:31 pm
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has a fix for my aquarium problem.  Seems all of my custom aquariums have lost their fish.  The sim will stock the tank and feed the fish.....but the fish don't show up.
 
Anyone have this problem or know how to solve?  
 
Thanks.

it could be to do with your graphics card whats your graphics card and computer specs?

Same here! and no fish in ponds too, until a sim actually catch one then you see a fish.

it's def. a video/graphics card issue.  

try this cheat
boolprop useshaders true

be aware that using this cheat will most likely cause lag in your game, especially if you have Seasons and have a pool on your lot.

I had to add

boolprob usershaders true

to my start up. I tested my graphic card in direct x then I also tested it on several websites and it passed every test for pixel shader 2.0 being on my graphic card, so I don't know why it was acting goofy. There are several websites you can test your graphic card on if you do a google search and it will tell you if it passes or fails any of their tests. If you use it and your game doesn't lag you can add it to your start up file and then you won't have to do it everytime.

I forgot to mention that Seasons uses pixel shader version 3.0- so if your graphics card doesn't support that, the cheat may not work/may not always work.
