Why can't my sim ride jetskis?

[melly]

Hi sim fans So my problem is that my sim cant ride the jet ski.
When I click on the jet ski it says "no interaction available"  and when I purchase one it goes in my inventory backpack and I cant place it in the water or do anything with it
I even tried to ride jet skies that I placed on my resort and it wouldn't let me. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

Not in the game at the moment, but I think you have to have a boat trailer on land or a mooring post to place them on the water. If you don't have one of these, you won't be able to place it on the lot. Not sure about the inability to ride one.  Have you tried to just get them to go somewhere on the water? If it's in their inventory, they probably would use it as the default means of transport (I think)

I think there's a kiddie size and an adult size - are you buying the right size jetski?

[Twinmum]

I was just in game. Pally, I think there is only one size jet ski available (well I could only find one) If it's in the inventory, you tell the sim to 'boat here' and click on the water. My sim ran to the water's edge and then jumped on the jet ski to go where I told her.

Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't realise. I though cause my child sim could use one, that it must have a child size like the bikes do. My bad

[Twinmum]

Don't apologize Pally, at least that rules out that they can only be used by adults.

I've seen what I thought was a kiddie jetski. I think it was in buy mode. It might have been a glitch or something because it didn't work like I expected it to. Sorry, I don't remember all the details. But I'm pretty sure there was a second jetski available.

Really? Wonder why I didn't see it. OK, I'm going back in to have a good look.lol

**edit** No, in the catalog there is only the one aqua sled. I bought one and put it in the inventory of a child and she was able to use it. There is a junior and a senior windsurfer, but neither say they can only be used by adults/children.

melly.. did you own the aqua sled you were trying to use? You said that you couldn't place one on the ground, so I'm thinking if you clicked on one that was somewhere in the town already, it might have belonged to another sim. That would probably explain why there were no interactions available.

If you have the jetski in inventory, make sure that is marked as favorite vehicle if you have other boats also in your inventory, or on home lot .  You don't need to click on the jetski, just use the map and point the water location where you want to go, and your sim should automatically choose the jet to travel .

OK Thanks a kot for the help

I'm sorry. Twinmum is right, it was windsurfers I saw.
