pond stays frozen year-round
twooflower:
This glitch is so annoying. On some lots ponds stay frozen year-round. I've read that others have had this problem, but haven't seen a fix for it. Does anyone know what causes this and if there is a fix? I need to earn a gold fishing badge for a challenge, but the pond just won't cooperate. >:( BTW, I have all the expansions up to Seasons, but not BV.
ZephyrZodiac:
Have you tried (a) resetting your lot with the move/rotate option in neighbourhood view?
Failing that, you could try deleting the existing pond and making a new one - but don't make it in the winter!

I finally figured this one out last night, but was unable to get on the internets because I can haz crappy satellite internet, and it was raining. I need a Weathernaught reward IRL.
I think the Weathernaught was actually the problem. I had the season set to spring -- and with the Weathernaught had it set on the prolonged season (forever) setting. Once the pond froze, I became impatient and set it to summer. After days of play it wouldn't thaw. I finally set it back to spring and then completely shut down the Weathernaught machine. After a day or so, the ice finally thawed. Once it did, I set the season to summer and prolonged the season forever in hopes that the pond would never freeze again until I was able to get the gold fishing badge, which worked.

I always use Paladin's Weather Controller, and never seem to have a problem with ponds. I use it because it's so easy to get all your lots synchronised weather-wise - I hate it when one lot has summer and the one next door it's winter!

I'll have to try that -- thanks! :)
