Re: Island Living Fish Trap Not Working

@SlothPers0n do you not have the check trap interaction ? What exactly doesn't work ? Do you not catch anything ?

Could you maybe add some pictures ?

  • Hi Crin, not able to get any screenshots, but I have the option, when I click it, nothing happens. I go to click it again to see if it worked, and option is still there.

    I'm using the little island lot in Mua Pel'Am 40x30 lot. Only yesterday the trap worked. And yes, I've tried many times with fish and plants, it takes the bait from my inventory. Im placing the trap where the fishing area is, where fish are in a bit in the water, near opposite from the 'free dive' buoy.

    @SlothPers0n So when you click check trap you don' get a notification ? Did you test another lot/save ?
  • Will do now.

    Multiple times on this certain save.

    It seems to me its that one trap that isn't working. The past 2 (sims 4 calendar) days my sims lot has had loads of people around it. Fixed, thanks Crin.

    I just recently began having this problem.  It's exactly as SlothPersOn said: click on trap, set it, then never find fish in there when you check on it.  Eventually it resets itself and you have to set it again.  I hope there's a fix for this because I'm playing the Sulani Castaway Challenge and it's a big part of it.  Thanks in advance.

    I just tried this on the waters in Tomarang. I did have to click place in world for it to set up and I can't remember if that's normal or not.

    When I went back to check it, I can't click it and nothing shows up. Did anyone find out what was causing this?

    Yes I've tested in a vanilla setup (no mods or cc ever installed).  Same thing.

    Hey, I was originally the person with the problem like 3 years ago - it did end up fixing and I don't remember exactly what did it, but one of the following methods will hopefully work. They aren't in order or anything or need to be done together its just what i remember: 

    Turn laptop mode on and off.

    ctrl + shift + c - testingcheats on

    reset object (debug) - (probably won't work)

    use sulani traits like child of the ocean etc

    repair the game on EA & delete localthumbcache

    Most of this if not all will probably not work but I hope it does because I remember how much of a pain it was.
