Disappearing Fish?

Hello I'm having the same problem no mods in my game it started happening right away after I put the fish tank in an I saw them just disappear I've restocked it like 5 times in the matter or 3 sim days I had the brought fish an caught some rare ones to put in it... It's still happening I even repaired game.... I'm thinking it's a minor glitch hope it will be fixed soon tho for Ppl who don't like to cheat rare fish can be a pain to catch lol

  • Are you sure, it's a glitch? Perhaps you need to upgrade your graphic card?
  • Hello.
    Have you tried selling the fish tank and buying another one?
    There may be a glitch with that tank.

    Is it just happening with only one household? Perhaps test it with another household and see if the fish remain in that tank.

    Delete the cache files

  • Hello.
    Remove any cc/mods that you have and see if that helps.

    Try repairing the game again.

    Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Start a new game and test to see if the fish remain in the tank. Exit the game and then add back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders, testing after replacing each one to see how the game is working.
  • sorry its been awhile. been crazy busy with a new baby. idk what fixed it, but im not having that issue anymore. noticed it when i fist was able to get back to playing again. i bought snowy escape and there were alot of updates i had to do to the game. so possibly one of them did.

    thank you for all your advice an help <3

    After this last game update, all my fish in my inventory and fish tanks have vanished. Hope that we don't have to keep buying all the fish we use for fertilizer each update, and why bother fishing to fill your tank, if they vanish every update?

    With the EA would fix dumb stuff if they are going to update the game, like grab water, then set it somewhere as far away as they can to sit and rot till you have to order your sim to clean it up. That and a hundred other 0 AI things the sims do.

  • The biggest problem I have with this, is that if anyone builds a lot that uses fish tanks to create a live fish tank, the fish tank will have to be torn apart and rebuilt to replenish the fish tanks that are now empty from the update. That means running all over the game and re-fishing for all the now missing fish. Doing that costs way to much time to keep doing. This also happens when you place the lot in a new game or another lot. Please fix this so the fish in your sims inv-tanks don't vanish.
