==Seasons Options Missing==

With each new expansion comes a new pack of bugs and glitches. If you are missing some of the new options in Seasons, here are the reasons why, and how to fix it.

===Fishing Option Missing===

'''If you cannot fish:''' ... then one or more of the following is happening...

* The pond is not deep enough. The pond must be deep enough to fish. Try deepening the pond if it is fairly shallow.
* The pond is frozen over. You cannot fish when the pond is frozen. Ponds can freeze at any time, but generally in winter. Wait for the pond to thaw.
* '''You have a conflicting hack like the InSIMenator that is preventing the options from being available.''' [[Game Help:User Files|Follow this article to find and remove the problem content]]. Make sure you [[Game Help:Preparing for the Next Expansion|know how to prepare to install a new expansion]], which includes removing hacks.

===Snow Options Missing===

'''If you cannot make snowmen, have snowball fights, or make snow angels:''' ... then one or more of the following is happening...

* The snow is not deep enough. You must have a heavy snow to get the above actions. Patchy bits of snow on the ground is not heavy snow - it must cover the ground in a thick layer. Wait till the snow is thicker.
* '''You have a conflicting hack like the InSIMenator that is preventing the options from being available.''' [[Game Help:User Files|Follow this article to find and remove the problem content]]. Make sure you [[Game Help:Preparing for the Next Expansion|know how to prepare to install a new expansion]], which includes removing hacks.

===Garden Club Options Missing===

'''If you cannot click on the garden club representative when they visit your lot to begin an evaluation:''' ... then your problem is...

===Snow X-Ray Option Missing===

'''If you do not have the option to turn on the snow x-ray...''' (which lets you see beneath a heavy snow to find pet toys, the newspaper, etc.), then one of the following is the problem:

* Your graphics card simply cannot handle the snow x-ray. Lower-powered graphics cards may not be able to handle it, and by design, Maxis has made it so if your card cannot handle it, you don't even see the option to turn it on.
* A glitch. Some users have reported having the snow x-ray turned on initially and functioning, with a good enough graphics card, but that after turning off the option, the option disappears from the settings as if they do not have a good enough graphics card to handle it. A solution to this is not yet known.
