Sim canīt fish any more
ElviraGoth:
I haven't experienced the fishing problem yet, but taking special seeds out of my sim's inventory fixed an unrelated problem.
After installing 1.7 or WA, not sure which or maybe both, some of my sims houses were invisible from map view. It wasn't the blue lot problem - the lot was green, like the grass, but the roof of the house could not be seen. Sometimes it was also invisible from a house across the street, though I could see the sims who lived there standing around or going about their daily tasks. And I could see the map tags of the house and the sims who were being radar tracked.
I had tried adjusting video settings, even though they had been working fine before, but that didn't fix it. Tried getting rid of some stuff in the inventories of the sims who lived in one of the invisible houses, but that didn't work either.
I decided to try getting any special seeds out of the inventory of a sim who lived in this one house, and now I can see the house in map view again. So the special seeds must have some kind of "special" problem that causes other problems in the game.
Thanks, Gary!

Just wanted to report:
So... I started a new game since my older hood got "pear-shapred."
My sim only went to China once, without any Adventure quests.
She was fishing before, and had collected special seeds before, but I wanted to get some higher level fish for my museum and when choosing bait she would jump back to the house, like what happens with "reset sim."
I did put the fish away, but put some of the bait fish back into the sim's inventory.
Anyway, removing the special seeds alleviated the problem. Didn't try the grocery store, but yes. There does seem something much more "special" about special seeds.
I am patched to the latest, using Awesomemod, and all the rest of that fun crap.
Edit: To delete unnecessary quotation marks.

Just want to report this same issue with the fishing and grocery store. For me the first time was when I had a newly installed game with my first made sim. She was level 10 fishing (after studying and reading all fishing books having not yet fished at all) and had the action drop from her queue only when she tried to choose bait before fishing. She would then be transported back home. She could still fish using the regular fish command, but never caught anything. When I went to the grocery store, same problem. The action would get dropped, and she would be transported back to the front of the grocery store.
I did a full reinstall, and tried again. This time I read only the fishing books that teach about bait and lures from the book store and only raised her fishing by trying to fish with the regular fishing command. I still have not caught a single fish although I was under the impression that you could catch some of the smaller fish without bait. I was fishing at the correct places at the recommended times.
Only after about level 4 when the game says you can use bait did I try. Same exact issue. She also cannot use the grocery store anymore. I wonder if those fishing books have anything to do with it? By the way, I tried all of the suggestions listed in this thread, and none worked. I did not have any special seeds in my inventory at all. The fishing books on bait and lures are the only things I did the same between the two installs, and I don't feel like reinstalling a third time, so I'm going to just leave my game as is. Just thought I'd post to see if others read those books or not to see if that was a factor.

It was not just special seeds, but any seeds at all that have been in inventory a while. I have not seen this issue again while using recent AM versions.
