The ocean in Bliss Bay is gone

When we’ve been at the ocean in the same save, it was still there, now it’s gone.

When I move the camera in the ocean and tilt it a bit, it’s there.
But as soon as I zoom out, it’s gone again ö.Ö’

It is there in the distance, but when I move the camera closer, it disappears

I also moved my Zoi over there but it doesn’ matter how near he is

I guess it’s an old save issue -.-
Started a new save and the ocean is there

Also changed to winter&snow
There is also the change in the distance

Reloading the save fixed it, weird gap is still there
But at least the ocean is back!
Plz fix that the UI stays where it was before creating a new save and loading the old one -.-

Did a small test in my old Bliss Bay save and these are the screenshots:

I didn’t see any changes, not even with the snow settings. Glad you fixed it with a reload :folded_hands:

Hello everyone! I’ve also encountered the ocean disappearing bug, although in my case it happened in Cahaya. It occurred a few days ago, I believe on February 3.

The issue was resolved by reloading the save, just like in the original poster’s case.

I also managed to record the bug on video (originally, I was recording a video for a friend to show her the game and its features, but it happened to coincide with this bug). I’m not sure if a video like this would be helpful, but I thought I’d mention it just in case.

I’m leaving this comment here in case it helps someone. Maybe it could also help identify the cause of the bug, or determine how common or serious it is.

This is my first comment on this forum, so I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes.

This happens to me, off and on, in Cahaya. For me, it seems to be related to another bug in the game, like something goes wrong and it triggers this error. Last time, it was the wife becoming an NPC. Initially, she could walk underwater, then she started walking on water with no water in sight. Fish were swimming, jellyfish bobbing, but there was no water. This turned into walking through water, where, no matter how deep the water was, it only came up to her eyes.

When she became playable again, the water came back.

This was the post @LittleBrownBiscuit mentioned an it also came to my mind right away when reading this new topic: Zoi got married, spouse now NPC (DON’T MERGE PLEASE!)

@LennyOgg Did you ever come across the “spouse becomes NPC” bug in your save file? I really thought the disappearing ocea issue was somehow connected to Zois incorrectly becoming NPCs but I think I was wrong :tired_face:

No, none of my Zois are married and never will be :wink:

But there was something off because the needs cheats didn’t appply to the two premades 'I’ve moved to the household.

Oh right, I remember reading through that thread. There has to be some weird core-system-bug somehow. The ocean, Zois becoming NPCs, major need cheats not working. Honestly, I’m kinda afraid to wake up to a “corrupted” save file one day at this point =(

My zoi did come back. She got stuck in some kind of loop, but when she was invited for dinner, she was back in the game. Literally and figuratively.

Has anyone tried walking where the ocean is supposed to be, do they walk same as on ground and breath air or do they swim in the air?

A few posts above @LittleBrownBiscuit ‘s Zoi walked on the ocean ground

yes I read that post but we can’t tell from NPC’s if we can breath, this question was on my mind before reading that post, thanks tho :slight_smile: I’m hoping someone can test this :+1:

But in inZOI being not able to breathe isn’t a thing (yet)? We can’t dive freely and get our Zois under the water surface. There is just the snorkeling interaction with no breathe bar either (iIrc)? So we wouldn’t know.

interesting lol

Ok still wanting to know if the missing water is just visual or if the water is gone, so it’d be nice to know what this bug is,

so if anyone encounters this again please enter the ocean and see if you can swim or walk :+1:

Is the bug missing water or is the bug invisible water?
