:wtf: So I keep trying to download Niol's Reflective Neighborhood water but it makes the water in the game look worse if anything. Then I tried the one for ponds and still nothing. Then I took out the neighborhood one and was not surprised to see the water in the same condition. So I thought I would check the mirrors on a lot to see if they had reflections because I know that means I have a crappy graphics card but the thing is I can see a reflection. I tried the cheat code boolProp NhoodWaterReflections true and nothing happened. I restarted my game, changed my game settings, searched the web and still I don't have a reflection on my neighborhood water. I also do not have a reflection on the pools. I have Deluxe, Open for Business, Seasons, Freetime, and Apartment Life and 2 stuff packs. My graphics card is ?Mobile Intel 4 Express Chipset Family? (I assume that is my graphics card. :help:

I took this picture with the mirror:

I took this one of the pool (stupid move_objects on messed it up lol):

This one is from the neighborhood:

What's wrong? Is there anything I can do? All help would be appreciated. :)

It's likely that the problem is your graphics chip, yes.
