Fishing Rods
How to Catch Fish
Any still water will do. River, ocean, swamp or underground lakes. You can even dig a hole and pour in a bucket of water!The red and white float (or “bobber”) will bob slightly on the water.
When a fish bites, you will see the float move violently and hear a splashing sound. Depending on your graphics settings, you may see a the trail of a fishmoving towards your hook just before the bite, as in the picture above.
When you hear the splash, right click to land your fish. If get the timing right, you will see your fish come flying out of the water. If not, better luck next time!
What you can catch
Fish
Fish (Cod)
Sometimes called “Cod”, this is the most common type of fish. It can be eaten raw, or cooked in a furnace to make it more nutritious.
Salmon
This is interchangeable with cod, and again can be cooked to make it better to eat.
Clownfish
Clownfish are the least useful fish. They can be eaten raw but that just makes you feel bad about eating Nemo.
Pufferfish
Don’t eat this fish if you catch it! It will poison you and make you hungrier than you were before.
Pufferfish can be used to brew a Potion of Water Breathing.
Fishing Classes
To get past the level 1 hump, Sims can take a fishing class at the grocery store in town. This usually costs $400. It's worth it, because your Sim will make that first level much faster than by fishing normally.
How to Learn Fishing
Once your Sim casts their line, they will immediately begin learning how to fish. The fishing skill will be learned within a few hours, and your Sim will finally have the skill appear in the skill journal. You can then view your progress toward the fishing challenges, view a list of fish you've caught or view the bait (once your Sim has learned a bait).
You'll
catch minnows and goldfish until you can move up to a better fishing
spot. That said, even higher level fish don't start providing a lot of
money until you can catch higher quality versions of them by using bait.
To actually catch fish, you'll just need to go to one of the aforementioned locations and click the water. Your Sim will begin fishing. You can make decent money right when you start. Nothing like having a job, but enough for your Sims to live on. The goal is to keep practicing so that your skill gets better and better. Eventually, you'll be allowed to use bait.
Mastering the art of catching fish will not only earn you tons of Simoleons, it also synergizes well with The Sims 3's Gardening and Cooking Skills.
