Sharks?

But technically there is no kraken. It doesn’t physically appear and I guess that’s why Sim Guru Lyndsay said it’s not in the game because they didn’t actually make one, just hinted at it.

The rabbit hole text boxes don’t mean anything except a moodlet for the sim. That to me isn’t game play. It’s like when my sims get an angry moodlet whilst beach combing - apparently a sea gull swooped down and stole their item or pooped on them but I’ve been watching the sims the whole time and no sea gull appears. Unless my game glitches every single time.

I know sharks can be seen, I’m disappointed at how safe they are though. That’s what I mean. I’ve saw the fin moodlet lots of times (and saw the fin) but nothing ever happens.

One of my Sims encountered two sharks, one in deep water and one in swallow. But only when they were interacting with a dolphin and they just passed by close to my Sim without doing anything. And I believe the "black mass" thing is the Kraken. (Scared to let my Sims swim in deep water at night, hahaha.)

If you're usually hanging out in the water with your sim in the deeper part you may be lucky to see one. Earliest I've seen one is being in the water for about 2 sim hours longest about 4 to 5 sim hours.

There's also a dramatic chord of music when a shark does show up. It stills startles me. This is pretty much your only warning if you don't get your sim back to shore ASAP as it's a precursor to their demise. :#

Instantly, I have the music from the movie "JAWS" going through my head. It's also dramatic. Now, I'm going to have to play Sulani again and put my Sim at risk. See what you did? Anytime, previously, that I have had a Sim 'visit' that dreaded island, my game gets borked.

Well yes, I have a couple of times. I post the pics I have.

I still havent actually seen a shark although once I saw one of my sims had the fins moodlet, but she was already on shore when I noticed it. I havent been actively trying to get eaten though.

If you see the moodlet but no shark it means your graphics settings aren't high enough. The sharks can only be seen with object details on high. I had that problem, and I have reported it in the help centre. It's noted and will hopefully get fixed.

My first shark experience was behind the volcano in the sulfurous coloured water :o

haven't seen any yet :s or dolphins :'(



great picks everybody. thought I was the only one not seeing them

I haven't seen any sharks, nor have any of my sims have had the "fin fear" moodlet. I also don't see any dolphin schools under the water. I don't suppose this has anything to do with me playing on medium resolution?
The only fish I ever see under the water are random medium sized fish, and those small leopard sharks.

No I play on ultra and I haven't yet met a shark or dolphin either (except the dolphin my mermaid summoned) :)

Okay, I cheated to make and keep my sim happy and had him in the water (near the deep water buoy) for 16 hours. Nothing. I'm starting to suspect a mod causing this. I also never saw any turtle hatching event even though it was announced.
