then, your grapics probably don't support it. if you turn off the cheat everything should be back to normal (except the fishes...).

I lost the fishes too once, but I've not tried the cheat yet myself.

is there anyway els to enable the fishes or the snow x-ray? plus the bumpmapping cheat only happens to work when useshaders are on. it makes the sim clothing detail alot better. But im sure ive got the right graphics cards because i bought a new one not to long ago. because the old one kept messing with my monitor and the screen would just go blank.

have you changed the walls and floors of the pool? I you havent, try to change it. but if you have, and it did not work, sorry cant help more. I have done that to my pool when it flashes like that and it's gone. Good luck on your game and take care... mwah!

In my old laptop, I had this problem too! It's really annoying,isn't it? I guess my graphic card wasn't strong enough. That's what my computer technician said, adding that he can't help me. Now, I have a new laptop with a better graphic card, and the problem is solved. But I'm not sure if there's any way to fix it, not by uprading your computer

I guess i can live with a little graphics problem. Well any way im getting the sims 2 deluxe because my nightlife wont install, and it comes with bon voyage. I really hope it wont have this problem with the beach or any of the pools when i reinstall anything. I dont really know much about graphics cards but can anybody tell me which ones are the good ones?

Did you ever update your DirectX and video card drivers?  If you have a pretty decent card and it's worked before, you might want to try updating those two and see what happens.  ;)

Timm123 installing a new EP will not solve this problem, only make it worse. I got that problem on my old PC laptop when I installed Pets. Every new EP takes mroe of the video card, and if you're having problems now, then just wait til you install BV. I guess you will have all walls flashing red, like I did... What you need is a better graphics card.
