Default Aquarium
I recently unearthed a backup of the Documents/Sims3 folder from the last time I played, including several saves from four different worlds, all dating summer 2016. So I reinstalled the game and, after a bit of finagling, got everything working. But each save gave me the message "some items could not be loaded and were replaced". Scan as I might through every home I found nothing obviously replaced, so it must have been minor indeed. But there was something missing - a nice floor standing aquarium. Probably a rebuild of a default aquarium, it had a footprint of two tiles, rounded edges, a broad shiny black band around the upper and lower edges of the glass, and a nice woodgrain base. I spent an evening searching online, to no avail; finding everything from small fishbowls to huge aquarium buildings, but not the one I seek. Does anyone remember this? or have a source for it?

One of the EP's has a fish aquarium, but I forget which. I think here on MTS is a version that allows more fish, but pretty sure it's based on the EP tank for animations, etc.

Well, I'm using a default now, must be from Ambitions, Seasons, or Generations, the only EPs I have installed. But I've no recollection from where I downloaded the one I was using (a dozen years ago? I don't remember what I did a week ago).

A week ago? Try wrangling a pre-teen and my husband, who is the one our son is a "mini-me" of!!! I go day to day... hour to hour... bottle of vodka to bottle of vodka!
