Pond

A pond is a pool of water on a lot. If a pond is deep enough fish can be found in the pond and a Sim can begin fishing. In The Sims 3, if a Sim has at least 10 of one type of fish, they can "stock" the pond with the fish, in which the number of fish then becomes unlimited and can be fished from at anytime.

Players can create a pond in the lot by selecting "Ponds" from the build menu and applying it to an area of terrain. The Sims 3 for console is the only console game in The Sims series that allows you to create a pond. This can be done by going into the Landsculpting options and by selecting the Water tool and applying it to an area of exposed terrain. Ponds can be stocked with dead fish, which can be fished at anytime in the Sims' own personal pond.

In The Sims 2: Seasons and The Sims 3: Seasons, ponds freeze up in the winter.

In The Sims 4, ponds exist as an object found in parks. They cannot be placed onto the lot without the use of the  cheat. There are two types of ponds: normal and desert. Sims 4 Get Famous has Luminary's Exotic Water Garden, in which your sim could get eaten by the fish you have there if you don't feed them. (On account they might be hungry..)
