BUG: Fish disappear from the inventory

Problem
I was traveling and caught some fish that is only available in foreign towns but when I came back home, the fish (and possible other objects) got missing and can't be found in the inventory anymore.

Cause
Because of an error in the code fish cannot be recreated properly after traveling. This also causes to bounce most other objects in the inventory.

Solution
Use the cheat buydebug to place fish spawner in your home town. This way you can at least finish any open opportunities. Make sure you don't have fish in your inventory when returning home to make sure that everything else gets home ok.

BUG: Sim can't fish

Problem
  1. My Sim can't fish. There's no option for it.
  2. My Sim can't fish with bait anymore
Cause
Problem 1
This is caused by unknown seeds in your inventory.

Problem 2
Might be caused by bait that is not in your inventory anymore. If you fished with a certain bait and now you don't have that bait anymore that can make the option disappear.

With Patch 1.26 they seem to have changed some stuff but forgot to take out some coding in a tuning file. This is causing this error and unfortunately, Mods seem the only solution for this.

There might be other causes to this, outdated mods being one of them.

Solution
  • Remove all unknown seeds from your inventory
  • Make sure to finish all adventures that involve fishing before returning home
  • Make sure to always have the last bait you fished with still in your inventory. 
Mods that solve the problem
  • Overwatch, V41 or newer fixes this issue with bait-fishing.
