Question: Pond does not work in Sims 2

[marazion]

I am feeling like a complete dumbass. I can't make a pond for the life of me. I've googled, I've even Mts2'd, I've Gos'd and I even checked out the wiki but I just can't get my pond working.

I've got shadows on (so you can see the fish) but I can't get any actions. Am I just being a dumbass???
