Title: Overly Clear Water
Post by: MidnightVoyager on 2007 December 31, 23:19:35
Yeah, I'm using a GeForce 7950, updated all drivers, everything. The water in the Landgrabb pool is... FAR too clear. Here, let me show you:

I've updated the drivers, yes, I've changed the settings around, I've destroyed and remade the pool. Nothing. Couldn't find anything helpful in the search either. Any ideas?

Do you play with shaders off?

The oceans on my beach lots look similar when I turn shaders off.

I have everything turned on in the options. Shaders... er, isn't listed in the graphics options for Sims 2. Huh. How can I check that?

Enter in the cheat window:

"boolprop useshaders true"                        To enable shaders
"boolprop useshaders false"                       To disable shaders

Oh dear.

So shaders ARE on. When they're turned off, this happens:

The water looks pretty normal to me - it's so "clear" only because of the light wallpaper of the pool. I'd recommend trying with one of the default pool walls or darker ones if you don't like the look.
