Stock Pond Criteria?

You have to have at minimum 10 of each fish that you intend to stock the pond with before it will allow you to stock a pond with that particular fish. Check your inventory and see how many of each fish that you have.

It doesn't matter if one of your family has enough. The number of fish is not cumulative in terms of family total. Each individual person has to have 10 fish to stock the pond. The other alternative is to transfer the number of fish that you need to stock the pond from the others who have stock of that fish in their individual inventories to the one who you want to stock the pond.

Stocking a pond comes from the individual inventories. It will not check the family inventory.

Thanks @Nikkei_Simmer that worked.
Now, my sim is not being able to get a pink diamond heart-shaped cut, only sculptor's egg or .. the other one not heart-shaped, can't remember. I've never had that happen before. She's got the invention quest that ends in making a bot. Does anyone know why its not offering heart-shaped cutting? Its not about money either, they definitely have enough.

Check your sim's collection skill journal. If they have completed the Gem Collector Challenge then they will be able to cut any gem they find in the heart shaped cut. They need to find 10 different types of gems to complete that challenge.

To unlock the Heart Shaped cut I believe you need to find 10 different types of gems. From collecting "in the wild" not from the gem miner.
If you have WA, the gems you get from chopping space rocks count toward it though.

@Pary and @Karritz thanks! I'll send her out to the wilderness ... of Monte Vista. Um what do you call a Mediterranean village's wilderness? Not a jungle ... could say forest but Monte Vista doesn't really have forests ... scrub? Hmm.
Sorry I haven't posted any story on here @Karritz. I keep forgetting and when I do remember, I take the memory picture for my My Page. Maybe if I resume Sunlit Tides I will make sure I take screenshots instead. Until then, if you go here https://www.thesims3.com/memory/memoryExchange.html?persona=DivinylsFan&sortField=created_at&sortOrder=ASC&position=5590&index=560 and start down the bottom at "Custom Memory 0", it will be the family/world/story I'm playing right now. It's not all that good of a story-story yet, slowly getting into it. Then some people on my page needed help working the memory pictures in their game so that's what that's about on some of it.

Thanks again, seeyas again soon.

Would ya's happen to know how I can remove a sims' stuck usage of an item? One that you can't pick up or delete because a previous sim didn't complete the action, and now never will.

You can use Master Controller to reset the item.

the nraas option doesn't come up when clicking on the item, only collect and analyze. "nraas" is the option for getting into the MC menu. Without it appearing when clicking on the item, I don't know how to get MC to reset it. Like, if I click on the wall, it will have "nraas" through which I can access MC, but the stuck pink diamonds don't have it.

Click somewhere on the lot, choose NRaas > Master Controller > Object Reset > choose Local and Not Inventory. A panel will come up where you can find the object and select it. From there it's pretty self-explanatory.

IreneSwift's suggestion was my next answer, or also try resetting the whole lot, if you can.
