OK, you probably will notice that I've already started a thread like this but the original thread didn't contain my first post and wouldnt let me post in it any more times. I've started this thread again, so I hope thats alright... :confused:


When I build a pool, the water is just plain, clear blue, like this:

But I want my pool to look all shiny like this:

I hope someone can help me!!

Im pretty sure if you type in the cheat "useshaders true" then the effects turn on. :D

The "Shiny" pool, as you put it, looks like crap IMO. WAY too much wave reflection-shadow-whatnot.

Plus it's a downer on game smoothness. If it isn't there by defaul, your card can't handle it properly, so if you cheat for it, it may not show up correct. Before installing seasons, mine showed up properly, but big squares of it would stop moving because my computer was unable to render it. After, it simply makes the water invisible.

So I leave it the way it is.

Hi!
Mine, before Seasons was normal, also shiny...
But then....well. I use the cheat. Boolprop useshaders on and it shows up like the second one in the picture. It brights! And moves...and so works

yep sounds like you need a better graphic card the drawback for all the eps!
