can't interact with pond/ocean type water

★ Apprentice

I am playing a game in bridgeport in 64 bit mac sims 3, and none of the ponds or the water at the beach have water interactions. when i click it's walk here/jog here for human and like lay here/sleep here/go here for pet. I can't get them to swim or fish. however my sim did swim around on their own, i just couldn't control it. When i click on pools the options for swimming and skinny dipping do appear, it is just non-pool type waters. Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix? thanks!

@lcsoloman1  I've merged your post with the master thread on this issue.  Feel free to click Me Too on the first post.

 

I'm curious which ponds in Bridgeport have the problem—as far as I've seen, ponds are fine, only open water is affected.  I didn't specifically test in Bridgeport though.

I was able to dive underwater with my mermaid sim but I haven't tried scuba diving. Also, is anyone else having this weird water reflection glitch?

@middykitty4  I've seen a couple of comments about strange reflections, but no screenshots that looked like that, at least not yet.  Please attach your deviceconfig.log to a post; it's in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3.  (You'll need to manually open the folders; the file won't show up in a search.)  You can delete your user and computer names, about 25 lines down, but there's nothing else in that file that can identify you.

@puzzlezaddict thank you! i did not see thread. in bridgeport i believe i had issue in all the ponds. I opened a game in twinbrook to see if it was world issue or whole game issue and i can fish there but still have issues with ocean type water

@lcsoloman1  The inability to collect bugs has its own thread, if you want to click Me Too and post there as well:

@puzzlezaddict

my guess is that as time goes on the chance of EA producing a fix dwindles?
