[MAC] [AA] Moths and Butterflies not showing

Hi,

Since the new expansion pack was released, moths and butterflies are supposed to show up and be collectible. However, in my game they are invisible. I can only breed them, not catch them, because they never appear.

In Build/Buy Debug Mode, the butterflies and moths show up as empty boxes, and when I place them, they do nothing — no visual effect or insects appear.

I already tried:
- repairing the game through EA App
- removing all Mods/CC
- deleting the cache and starting a new save

Everything else works fine, but the butterflies and moths are just not showing.

Thanks in advance!

Edit By Crinrict: Added missing pack tag to title.

    No, all graphic settings are on high and laptop mode is disabled. 

  • I'm playing on MacOS and am running into the same issue. Graphics settings are set to high and very high and laptop mode is disabled.

  • Hey I was having the same issue, I know you said yours isn't caused by mods but for anyone else with this issue I took out the file "Caiocc_Mod_SmartDevice.package" and now i can see the butterflies&moths :) I used the 50/50 method to figure out which file it was

  • To follow up on this, I had thought I was having this issue in my vanilla (no mods or CC) save, but whenever I loaded it today to play with the event, I was able to see butterflies!

    For me after a lot of testing in my modded test save, it turned out to be a piece of BB CC: the plomma small cauldron. It's an item with custom fx, so I'm wondering if the custom fx was conflicting with things?

    After I took it out and reloaded, I noticed that not only was I able to see butterflies and moths, but also the jellyfish and faerie sparkles. 

  • moving this to the mods forum then.

    Best way to ensure that you are actually trying mod free is a clean folder approach.

    PossumBoyDanny​ Definitely a thing that custom VFX might do, and a reason why another creator with a custom VFX mod has to update theirs for most new worlds. Have you tried removing just the custom VFX mod? As I recall, it's a requirement for that cauldron mod?

    Yup, as soon as I removed that mod I could see everything again. I wasn't using it too often, so I left it out. I much rather see the butterflies, moths, jellyfish, etc.
