Fishing: Difference between revisions

As a Sim gains experience by fishing, they can earn [[talent badge]]s (in ''The Sims 2'') or [[skill]] points (in ''The Sims 3''). With experience, Sims can use different baits and catch rarer fish.

 

Fishing is an object-based interaction in ''The Sims: Vacation'', and differs significantly from the same activity in ''The Sims 2: Seasons'' and ''The Sims 3''. In order to fish, Sims need to be standing on a [[fishing pier]], and there needs to be a rental shack, so they can rent fishing poles. Fishing in ''The Sims'' is not tied to any skills or talent badges - whether the catch is 'good' or 'bad' seems to be random. In most cases, the catch will not even be a fish, but instead a humorous item that will slightly disappoint the Sim - such as an old, worn-out boot. If a fish ''is'' caught, it will be thrown back. The only default lots with fishing piers in ''The Sims ''are to be found on [[Vacation Island]] (namely at [[Bear Essentials Lodge]] and [[Ranger's Ranch Campground]] in the "forest" themed area of the island, and at [[Sunset Beach]] and [[Reclaimed Public Beach]] in the "seaside" themed area).

 

Fishing is a [[talent badge]] introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''. It is also an activity that provides [[Fun]], although the boost to the Fun meter only happens when a fish is actually caught. Fishing is possible for all Sims aged [[Child]] or older, and Sims who fish alongside one another will gradually build their relationship scores as they pass the time.
