Re: Feeding a Dolhin with fish from Inventory

@Fischreuse Maybe that's on purpose that you can't feed all fish cause they don't like all kind of fish ?

I still have both options when I have fish that I can feed. It splits into a menu and then I can either feed fish from inventory or for §2

Also can't confirm the disappear. Disappear in what way ? Does he become invisible ?

    I have made some pictures now about disappearded dolphins. That only happens - sometimes or more often - after feeding fish from Sim-Inventory - equal if it is an aquarius or not or well known with the dolphin or not. The pictures shows "flying" fishes without dolphins or speeking aquarius with invisible dolphin after feeding fish from inventory instead the dolphins are shown in the action loop. The dolphins cackling is still to be heard. Sometimes feeding fish from inventory ends the whole interaction with the dolphin.

     I have not seen / read a hint, how big or how many pictures are allowed in this forum. If they are to small - about 800 x 500 - it is not very clear to shown, what I mean. 

    I have also made pictures of overwriting the feeding option if fish is in the sim inventory. First there is only the option, to feed by sim inventory, just after the dolphin is called. After one or two mouse clicks further on the dolphin, the options for the dolphins are changing.  I have never seen this behavior on the dolphins options, if there ist no feedable fish in the sim inventory. Feeding with fish for 2 $ never creates dissappearing dolphins. Since Sims 4 Island Life, there are some issues with Sim Inventory. Maybe it all depends.

    Edit to add: Or the dolphins don't like rotten fish, mhhmmm. That could be an, answer which fishes dolphins prefer.

    But there are still the other questions of overwriting the feed-Options by first contact when fish is in inventory such as invisible dolphins after feeding fish from sim inventory. 

    Maybe dolphins became invisible after feeding rotten fish? That could be magic.

    Yes, thank you very much. That is what I meant, but I did not find this post. Don't know why. Then this thread could be closed or merged with the other one.

    @Fischreuse Well, there's still the issue with not all fish being feedale ?

    I did saw one fish that wasn't rotten that I couldn't feed.

    Are you saying you don't think that's an issue ?

    Right. The topic is still there. It is sometimes difficult to assess which anomalies are related and which are to be considered separately. I will also try other fish to feed dolphins. But it may be that your first thought is correct, that not all fish can be fed.

    Maybe the fish must have the right weight and should be fresh. The info box I found says: small and recent - which could be fresh. And maybe the dolphins sometimes change their tastes like fishing spots, sometimes small and sometimes big fish or frogs for fishing.

    @Fischreuse Maybe you can edit your initial report (click on the three dots on the post) to make it JUST about the fish not being able to feed and list the once that don't work ?

    I'd looked to my first report and the heading. There I only discribed the feeding with fish from sim inventory. The relation to disappearing dolphins I mentioned some reports later. These reports later had been merged by a simguru, I think. I dont know, if I can still edit these reports. In the german thesim-forum comments disapears after editing a third time. I don't know how comments behave in this forum.

    But perhaps the people will only react on the heading and the first report. Then it would be ok, to leave it like this?

    I have now tried fresh fish from four fish traps on the dolphin. In my view, it is now clear with the attempt of this amount of fish. Dolphins only want small and fresh fish. This looks intentional because there is also the corresponding info box that I became aware of. It is always the same. I think this post is probably in the field of general knowledge. I do not know how to move that.
