Fishing

If a pond in The Sims 2 is deep enough, fish will appear in it throughout the seasons. These fish, and slightly less appetizing specimens, can be caught by selecting a sim and clicking on the pond in question.

Caught fish can be cooked to make new meals, hung up or sold as part of a business.

As a sim gains experience by fishing, they can earn talent badges. With these badges, sims can use different baits to catch rarer fish.

Fishing is very useful for meals also. If you cook fish the food will fill up your hunger bar faster

Fish types include: Largemouth bass, Blue Catfish, Rainbow Trout and the elusive Golden Trout. All except Golden Trout have Giant verities as well, the better to hang on wall and more money to get if your sim decides to sell them through the inventory. You can also catch boots in ponds, which can also be hung on the wall, sold or even juiced with the juicer for a random collection of reactions and animations.
