Can't finish Omniplant Opportunity

[witch]

Crikey, you lot must have been hard at it. I have only managed Minnow to Jellyfish so far! I thought I might put the rare fish in a separate pool to make them easier to catch if needs be.

Fish purchased at the grocery store are also eligible for pond stocking.  They must be very fresh.

Well, considering you can store the fish in your refrigerator for a month and then use them to stock, or put them in fish bowls for that matter, Sim Fish are obviously very resilient.

I was stocking the pond with only perfect fish, but when my simkid fished he was getting a random variety of quality.

Since 85% of the game is sitting around watching them sleep, tap at a computer, or fish, I tend to temporarily lock their motives and just let them do it in the background and get distracted by the Internets or IRC. As a result, sometimes my Sims fish for Simdays, and, yes, that racks up a truckload of fish in short order.

Honestly, they must not bother with beta testers at all. Surely someone would have pointed out that watching Sims sleep is less enthralling than watching paint dry.

This.

You watch your sims sleep? I use these hours to browse the town, so I know where to send them to collect stuff / go fish / visit potentially interesting spots right after waking up. Or I go to the beach and watch the waves .

You watch your sims sleep?

No. I said I found that extremely boring, and thus sent them off to fish indefinitely. Because watching Sims sleep is deadly dull. Ergo, inventories full of fish. Inventories full of fish = the ability to stock the home lot pool full of all the different varieties.

I think you need to have graves on the lot for Deathfish to properly show in a pond.
But they are there even during daytime, not only at night like on the graveyard lot.

Yes, awkward wording from my side, sorry. What I'm trying to say is that unlike in the predecessor, I do not have the feeling that I spend so much time watching them sleep, skill etc. because I'm not limited to the one active residential lot and thus can do more interesting things within the game, while the sims are occupied.

I don't thing the speed buttons weren't meant by the Makers to work like that.  My speed buttons work great.  Fast is fast.  I think they just somehow managed to make a game that is farked on the vast majority of computers.  No shock there.

FF (4) is unreliable though -- /any/ change will reset it to another speed. You're better off keeping it at 3.

4 just speeds through the current action of the active sim, it's not meant to be faster than 3

Which would make it the best new feature if the speeds worked properly. Hopefully, this will be fixed. I, for one, am sick to death of the P to 3 dance I have to do while my sims get ready for work in the morning.
