During your fishing trips, your Sim can find chests containing various items (voodoo doll, health potion, happiness potion, ...) but also seeds for gardening. Some fishing grounds can only be examined at certain times of the day, so be sure to check back regularly to get as much information as possible on the baits.

Like gardening, fishing can bring in a lot of Simoleons, some fish sell for up to £ 2000 or more. Thanks to this skill, you can also inherit the Collector trait which will greatly help you to complete the collection of fish available. Note also that some fish can only be fished from a defined skill level, others can only be fished in certain places.



The Fishing skill can also be increased with the help of books :

  • Fishing Vol. 1: First take (skill level 1 to 3)
  • Fishing Vol. 2: Equipment and techniques (skill level 4 to 6)
  • Fishing Vol. 3: Think like a fish (skill level 7 and above)

When your Sim is concentrated, your capacity will increase faster.

 

Stages of Fishing Capacity

Once caught, the fish is in your inventory, its price varies according to its freshness and its weight.

There are different stages of freshness in a fish:

  • Putride
  • Poor
  • Average
  • Good
  • Excellent
  • Fantastic

To slow down their rotting, consider keeping them in your refrigerator or in an aquarium. If you want to stuff them, click on them from your inventory, the fish will then be nailed to a board that you can slide on one of your walls. Note that a stuffed fish placed as a decoration in your house increases your Sim's confidence.
