My World: Fort Sim_by ehaught58

I will just say that Fort Sim has some of the best bars/clubs of any city available for download. If I didn't have severe ADD which causes me to change worlds all the time, I would still be there, partying at the Green Gator with the homies, waiting for the sun to rise.

:shock:

Is this world populated, because there isn't any Sims in it? And if it isn't, how do I populate it?

I love the fact that you continue to add to this world a bit at a time.
My sim is not overwhelmed and has a chance to enjoy each new community lot as it is added.

I agree. Ed is the mayor and he is in charge. Fort Sim continues to prosper under his leadership!

Hello!

Even on my high-end machine, many of the lots (for example, the Gator Club and the Lighthouse Keeper's mansion) appear fully white and take some time to load, but revert as soon as you look away from them.

Zoiks. I hate to even ask this but I have a question about a problem I've run into with Fort Sim (WA version) so was wondering if anyone might have an idea. My Sim can't fish in any water that's not on a lot. The rivers and ponds all have no options and the water is missing its texture. I was thinking it might be a fluke so I loaded up another town and fishing options are there, then went back to Fort Sim and again the water is dull and my Sim can't fish.

I also discovered fish spawners on various lots in really odd places, like on residential lots where there's no water, and in the large park in the center of town. None of the three fish spawners there are actually in the water.

The spawners out of water are easily fixed but I can't fix the rivers and ponds.

Hi BSIRegina! I am glad that you took interest in Fort Sim. I am not having any of the problems that you have mentioned about fishing, other than I did notice that fish seem to float in some places and I couldn't get them to appear correctly when I tried to fix them. They still work correctly, so I gave up and just left them that way. The water texture appears correctly on my computer, so the only thing I can think of that might be causing that problem is with the settings. I have a tricked-out, high-end computer, so I can set all of my settings on high. As for fishing in the world ponds outside of lots, I did not put a fish spawner in all of them, so that may be why you can't catch fish in them. Where the fish spawners came from outside of water, I have no idea. Must be accidents that I did not catch when building. As you probably have noticed, I only built one world. It took me 3 months to complete, and after that, I just wanted to build lots. I have been considering building another world, but have not had the motivation to do it. Thanks for your comments, and I hope you enjoy playing Fort Sim as much as I do.

Sorry I haven't taken the time to reply back. Only three months to build? WOW! You did a fantastic job of it.

I'm thinking it really shouldn't be a problem with settings on my game but I'll check that when I have the time and energy all at once (that's my main problem right now--I have so much going on that at the end of the day I'm just too exhausted to play anything--last evening I loaded C-A-W thinking I'd work on my world for a few minutes but ended up watching a couple of videos and nearly fell asleep at my computer). The odd thing about this world is that when I do think of playing TS3, this is the one world out of several I feel the strongest desire to return to.

I wondered if per chance those spawners out of water on the residential lots were a left-over from possibly placing a lot there that had a fish spawner on it. Ever since WA, any spawners are left behind.

At any rate, I've got to get myself in gear for the day, get into town and get some groceries. I'll try loading up a brand new Fort Sim and see if the river thing rights itself. In a worst-case scenario I'll wait until after I install LN and try that version. I just really don't want to install it yet because I've been working on the Shire and don't want it to end up needing LN because I accidentally placed something from it in C-A-W.

Yeah, age, stress, whatever. :lol:

At any rate, I did finally manage to load up a fresh one and did come to realize it is only the ponds in the golf course that aren't fishable, which no doubt goes back to that thing of water having to touch the perimeter water at some point in its existence to work. It's a real pity that problem also causes no water texture over those areas.

Goofy me, I really know to pay more attention to things like exactly where my Sim is located with stuff like that.
