Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.46.18.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? AllSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Draw a pool on the Rio Verde or Cacti Casa lots in Oasis Springs and add the fishing sign. There will be no animations of fish swimming or jumping although sims can fish. Conversely if you add the pool and sign to Slipshod Mesquite or any other lot in other worlds, there will be the swimming/jumping animations. Although I have not tested all the lots in Oasis Springs, it seems that there is a glitch with at least two lots missing the swimming/jumping animations. We are doing a building challenge for a tropical home on the English forum so this came to light when players reported some glitched lots. What happens when the bug occurs? Just missing animationsWhat do you expect to see? Fish swimming and jumping. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure Nothing additional.

Per testing by other players here are the list of tested lots in Oasis Springs.No fish swimming/jumping animations-Raffia Quinta-Dusty Turf-Granada Place-Arid Ridge-Sultry Springside-Yuma Heights-Affluista Mansion-Vista Quarry-Springscape-Rio Verde-Cacti CasaThese lots have the animations:-The Future's Past-The Solar Flare-Burner's & Builders-Rattlesnake Juice-Desert Bloom-Nookstone-Pebble Burrow-Sandtrap Flat-Agave Abode-Slipshod Mesquite

Did you ever have an animation before when you added that to a pool ?

I have tested all lots in Oasis Springs by dropping the same build with a fish pond. The trouble appears to be by neighborhood. When the fish were not jumping in the pond on the lot they were also not jumping in the community fishing holes in the neighborhood and vice versa. Neighborhoods with no fish jumping animation: Skyward Palms, Acquisition Butte, Parched Prospect.Forgotten Grotto. Neighborhoods with Fish Jump Animation: Bedrock Stright, Oasis Springs Commercial District, Desert Bloom Park.All testing done in same game file using a vanilla game with all packs installed. Tested on MSI GS73VR 7RG. I know the debug pond on my lot (same build every time) is not compromised because fish jump animations all work in Willow Creek, Newcrest, Windenberg and Magnolia Promenade.Red= No Fish Jumping Animation Green= Yes Fish Jumping Anination

I put in a pool on the Cacti Casa lot in Oasis springs and added the fishing sign. Sims could fish there and catch fish but the animations of the fish jumping and swimming is missing. Someone else tried it in their game on the Rio Verde lot with the same results. We suspect something got broken when Seasons got patched in.

Yes, I did a lot in Brindleton Bay with a pool (was supposed to be an ocean) with a fishing sign and had the animation. I did the lot about six months ago. Another builder reported that she tried the pool/fishing pool thing on Johnny Zest's lot, (I think that's Slipshod Mesquite) and had the animations of fish jumping there. She did not get the animations on the Rio Verde lot.
I'll go check Slipshod Mesquite myself to see if I can get the animations there.
There's a bunch of us doing this for a building challenge on the English forums and apparently everyone can get the animations EXCEPT for some lots in Oasis Springs.

Yup, there are fish swimming and jumping in the pool at Slipshod Mesquite. Don't know why Rio Verde and Cacti Casa don't have them. You still can catch fish without the animations of fish swimming and jumping though on the Cacti Casa lot. Haven't tried the Rio Verde lot, just heard the report from the other builder.

Did you try these lots before ? Was it never working on these specific lots ? Maybe it has something to do with the way they are situated.

I did not try these lots before, but others are reporting that all the other lots they've tried in worlds other than Oasis Springs have the animations and some lots in Oasis Springs have the animations and others do not.

Def. doesn't sound like something that can be solved by troubleshooting.

I suggest you post it in the bug forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

As it's a cheat issue (buydebug) it will def. not have much priority but I can tag it as needs input and see how many people think this needs fixing.

To me it seems it never worked right if it it's only certain lots. Would be great if you tested which lots are affected.

I understand it will not be a priority to fix, since this is an usual situation with players trying to build tropical lots with pools as oceans using cheats; it's definitely not a normal play thing. I will post it on the link you provided. I don't think I have the time to check all the lots in Oasis Springs, but I will ask the challenge participants to report if they are or are not able to get the fish swimming/jumping animations on whatever lots they choose in Oasis Springs. Thank you so much for your help., Crinrict and happy simming!
