Fishtank woes

[riggs]

It's not a bug--it's a feature!

By the way, there's now a mod at MTS to expand the tank capacity to as many as 15 fish.

[tea_and_blues]

Very awesome. Are their any accompanying visuals for prey and woohoo, I wonder. You'd think so, if the sims react to it.

[spaceface]

Oh that is cool, now I can't wait to get HELS. This will make the "perfect aquarium" LTW a bit more interesting.

[Roobs]

I wonder if there is a food chain defined somewhere. Would suck if it's just random, and Goldfish start eating Lobsters or whatever.

Definitely a surprising little feature.

[J. M. Pescado]

It's defined based on the bait-table, so certain fish eating certain other fish is based on what baits are used to catch them...
Of course, those tables are pretty random and often nonsensical, too.

Cool -- now that I know it's a feature and not a bug!  I've got to watch more closely for those animations.  I wonder if woohoo leads to baby fishies.

I wonder if the HELS aquarium will work for that LTW.  When my Sim has a wish to put a fish in a bowl, it isn't fulfilled by putting the fish in the aquarium.  And she's never rolled a wish to put one in the aquarium.

[Capitaine Marie]

Aw, what complete crap. I was really hoping having the aquarium would eliminate having fish bowls on every surface in the house. Drat.

Maybe Pes can fix that.

I had my Hopeless Romantic Sim stock her aquarium with 4 Goldfish, and then I proceeded to make her "watch" throughout the days ahead.  For 3 sims days nothing happened.  My Sim usually booed the fish tank and stuck her tongue out.  Then finally one "Watch" she started to get excited and cheered with a baby pacifier thought bubble over her head.

I looked in the tank and there were still only 4 fish.  I didn't notice any different animation or bubbles or anything in the fish tank.  She went to bed and when she woke up I had her go to feed and watch and there were 6 Goldfish now.  They are labeled as had been "born in captivity".  I took one out and put it in a round fish tank, and the next day I had 6 again in the aquarium.

I like the idea that they can mate and fight.  I wish this counted toward the LTW.  I hate having all of those fish bowls everywhere.

Cool.

If you have debugging commands enabled you can force events in the fishtank. I had to remove my no-mosaic to see the bloody fish at all, but making them 'woohoo' makes two random fish of the same type swim towards each other, and then hearts appear. 'Prey' makes a random predator swim towards a random bait fish. You can also create a 'die' event that makes a random fish float to the surface.. dead.

*hopes no mosaic is updated soon* ... The Awesomemod no mosaic is very un-awesome. I never use it because of the toilet censor it doesn't disable, and the only reason I use no mosaic anyway is so I don't have to deal with the toddlers that vanish under the mosaic when being potty-trained.

[Moryrie]

Awesome. I'd never visited that site before. Always nice not to need to go through foreign language registrations. @.@

When I used debug commands I have hoping for one like the 'stock fridge' or 'fill bookcase with all books' ones. There isn't one.

No, it does exactly what *I* want it to do. That's what's important. I *WANT* it that way. Therefore, it will STAY that way. And it tells you this.

Nuff Said!

[Moryrie]

Which is why I look for other censors that work the way *I* want them to. I didn't tell you to change it.

Sounds a bit like "it brakey,  fixxy NOOOW!" but I am a little hard of hearing.

I was meaning the one on mod the sims. There's two of them. One was buy Rick. The other was by Rothchild. Those were the ones I have been using in place of awesomemod, because I know that that question  has been asked of Pescado multiple times and the answer was always NO. I was NOT saying that he should change it now. I was merely HOPING that someone else would have made the fishy effects re-appear on one of those ones. And someone already had, as Tasha pointed out, and I am using that one now.

So I'd say you need a stronger prescription for your glasses.

My German is pretty rusty, but it looks like Rothschilde has solved the game effects problem. I will try it out later to be certain. Though I don't mind not seeing people pee. I have two small children, so I get enough of that in real life.
