Fish in tanks/ponds without shader
Before.jpg - width=1280 height=800

do you know this problem: You can not or don't want to use shaders ("boolprop useshaders true"), so you'll never see fish in ponds or tanks, which is a problem if you want your sims to have an aquarium or if you want to fish in a pond.
So, I've found a solution: I just modified a MATSHAD file out of Materials.package (from M&G) and now I can see fish in tanks and ponds without using shaders...
I hope it works for you as well!
Compatibility:
I marked this as Seasons because you need AT LEAST Seasons for this to work.
I'm not sure if it works with anything between Seasons and Mansion&Garden, so please report back if you have issues.
Also, please comment because this is my FIRST upload. Woohoo
