Stock Pond Criteria?

Hi :)

A family of mine in Aurora Skies is able to stock their backyard pond as well as their owned community lot pond with fish other than anchovy. In their backyard pond they were able to stock it with snails from France. They had an option with other fish too. However not everyone in the household was able to do this, with any fish, whether they had them in their inventory or not.

Another family of mine in Monte Vista can only stock their backyard pond or their owned community lot pond with anchovy.

Why?

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with level of skill or having an Angler trait.

  • Another question ... Doh!
    Ha.

    I've never had triplets. The fertility happiness reward describes having a better chance of having twins and triplets. So it suggests it is possible, already in the game without a cheat or mod. Is there something they eat or do that increases those chances?
    In the Sims 2, eating cheesecake from the Seasons expansion pack guaranteed twins, even if the house was going to be full with the one baby. That was told to players in an email from EA as a fun fact/handy hint as a reward after registering that expansion pack - when they were still on CD/DVD.
    I vaguely remember some people on here discussing if tomatoes or watermelon is eaten or such, it increases the chances of the baby being one gender or another. So is there something the pregnant mother eats for triplets? One time, one of my pregnant sims ate nothing but lobster thermidore ... the baby's favourite food turned out to be lobster thermidore. Ha! Anyway ...

  • Watermelon and apples contributes to determining the sex of the baby, girl or boy respectively.
    Having your pregnant sim watch the children's channel on television, listen to the children's radio station and read pregnancy books can help to cement multiple births I believe. Your best chance is giving both sims the fertility lifetime reward.
  • Thanks all :)

    I've switched to another game/world/household who also had a couple of stuck items, in Sunset Valley. You might be interested to know the 'object reset' was not available to me, I perhaps don't have the required module on my MC. So I got them all to finish what they were doing and stand out the front yard and I did 'reset lot'. That worked.
    However, I'm sure they had some paintings in their memories, which they didn't any more. (Paint from Memory). So I think doing the lot reset, probably the sim reset too but I only have the lot experience, possibly clears out the painting memory. They had recently had a wedding and I usually get one of my high painting sims to take a 'memorize scene' picture to paint after that, which they usually have stay in their memory for ages, until the next one I think, although I think as time goes on it might become more mottled. So I got the happy couple to put their formals on and pose with and around the arch for some photographs.

    That's all for now :)
