Title: How do i make my BV ocean reflective?
Post by: aqua-sheep on March 07, 2009, 07:12:35 pm
In a few screenshots people have uploaded on sims sites, their BV ocean is this gorgeous light sky blue and it's reflective. Mine isn't. How do I change this?

It depends upon your graphic settings and what your computer can handle. Do you have reflections turned on?

It might be the season the oceans look different depending on the season

If reflections is enabled in the game, you will get as much totality of reflectivity as your graphics card/graphics chip is capable of providing in the game.

You cannot increase or further change the amount/area of reflectivity unless you replace your graphics hardware with something more game-robust and able to handle fuller reflectivity.

That said, updating your graphics drivers may allow for slightly better performance with existing graphics hardware.

Reflections being enabled does add stress to the graphics card/graphics chip, which in some cases can lead to game lag, freezing or crashing, and in the case of more limited graphics hardware can lead over time to overheating and incremental and permanent damage (or even failure) of the graphics card or chip.
