[CURRENT ISSUE 64-bit] All open water options missing

All of the options sims should have for open water activities are missing from the water itself, which offers no options when clicked.  (Open water means any water that's not a pool or made with the pond tool.)  In the 32-bit versions, with all packs installed, sims had a number of options:

  • Fish
  • Swim
  • Play in ocean
  • Play in ocean with toddler
  • Snorkel
  • Scuba dive (with sufficient skill)
  • Boat to a location on the water, if they own a boat
  • Windsurf (once in the water)
  • (I'm probably forgetting a few)

However, sims can use a taxi boat to travel from one island to another.

This was tested in a new clean folder with zero added content, all EPs installed, in Sunset Valley.

    Nici672f​ ghazaal-sh​  The ocean interactions work fine in the Windows version of Island Paradise, and the version you buy contains entitlements for Windows and macOS.  So there's no way to sell it to Windows users only, especially since you can buy it on the website and on a platform (like a phone) that's not supported at all, meaning they can't restrict the purchase to only people currently on a Windows machine.

    Splitting the entitlements is out because some of us have the game in both OSs and would be upset to not have access on our Macs to content we paid for and use in Windows.

    I'll merge your posts with the master thread for this issue.
