Can't find fishing spot

I sent my sim to the utopian future to fish for rainbow snails. She had been to the dystopian future the day before, catching three eyed fish. But there were no fishing spots with flowers floating on the water in the utopian future, as there should be. I searched very carefully, all over the entire canal, as close to the water as I could get, and there were none to be found.

It was the next to last day of fall, and the temperature was in the 40's. Does anybody know whether seasons or cold weather has any impact on whether the rainbow snails can be caught? It certainly didn't have any effect on the three eyed fish, as it was pretty much the same when she was fishing for those.

  • The opportunity chain was finished before the problem occurred. She only went home with the chain unfinished once in all the times I played through trying to find the problem. Then she completed it as soon as there were debris piles to excavate in the changed future. And with both the sim I was playing with when I originally started this thread and the current sim, I waited for two or three sim days with none of the floating objects ever appearing on the water. Maybe I should try it sometime without doing any of the opportunity chains.
  • Yes, there are lots of alternatives. I am amused that I encountered the same problem, at least in a way, even if not so severe as for you. Hope you solve it and post about it.
  • If I ever do manage to get both of them to work OK, I'll share that. I don't remember for sure, but I think I did play a sim fishing in both futures successfully once. And I do know for sure that I haven't always bothered with the opportunity chains, after the first time.
