I can't imagine what the problem is, the file is definitely in the right place. Game is patched to the most recent version etc. D:

Did you create a resource.cfg file so that the game will recogize custom content? (If you use the installer monkey, it does it for you, if not, you have to do it yourself.)

You will only have a World Caches folder if you have any saved games in the 2nd neighborhood called Riverview.

After deleting the cache files start up your game & try to find the mod again. I hope this helps.

Thank you SO MUCH!

Hahaaa it finally worked!

Yeah, I use the installer monkey. It turns out the problem was the cache files like Mimi52861 said. Thank you though, and I'm sorry to have hastled you! Thanks again for creating these spawners.

Are you able to remove these simply by dragging the hammer tool across the area you placed them?

One question: When I export/publish lots with you spawners, will it work for other people, that don't have them?

Falkoner - No idea, haven't tried, worth a shot, tho.

jonha - They'll have to install these before installing your lot or they simply just won't be there, but the rest of the lot should work.

First of all - thanks a lot for these spawners, they make life so much easier for fishing-obsessed sims!

I noticed, though, that the robot fish and death fish seem to be absent from the list of spawnable fish posted in post #53, and I was wondering whether they were just overlooked or whether it was not possible for some reason to have spawners for them too?

cloudlessnights - The robot and death fish spawners are named just that. It's very easy to tell in-game which is which.

gosims - Try deleting all your cache files, that has helped others get these to show up.

LOL now if someone can make this for the pool. But I'm just happy to be able to fish at home and see fishies. I like fishies.

I have a family who loves the out doors and fishing, and i knew my home pond was lacking and this is just the ticket. Thank You so much for sharing ;-)

Appreciation is a wonderful thing . It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

blind09: Umm, these should have absolutely no effect on paintings at all (or any other custom content, for that matter).

Indy Stone checker found 12 incompatabilities with the fish spawner alone. I can still see them in the game, however, so I'm still using it. Thanks for the mod.

Thanks very much for this mod - yes everyone can fish in ponds they have on their lots but you will find that as they do not have the "jumping" fish on them that they say that there is not that many fish here - ok.

Now you are a fantastic modder and I have created some complexes that have more than one house on, but the one family keeps on going into the neighbours house and uses their stuff - please can you create a door that can lock and have keys for only selected members, family, friends etc. They had a lovely mod in sims 2 that did it. Can you create one for sims 3? Please - Please
