[[File:Fishing skill icon.png|left]]'''Fishing''' is a [[skill]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. This skill is gained by fishing in the ponds or ocean around the map. The higher theirthe [[Sim]]s' fishing skill is, the more types of fish they can catch. Books can be found at the bookstore showing the bait that can be used to catch specific fish, but a Sim can determine the bait through trial and error by simply selecting a bait and seeing what they catch. Water can be inspected to see what known fish can be caught there, and whether the fish are active.
 
The skill is augmented by the [[Anglerangler]] and [[Lovesloves Thethe Outdoorsoutdoors]] [[traitTrait (The Sims 3)|traits]]s. Children and older Sims with the [[Childishchildish]] or [[Insaneinsane]] traits can fish in swimming pools.
 
When Sims reach level 3 in the [[Gardening (The Sims 3)|gardening]] skill, they can use fish as a fertilizer for harvestable plants in their garden. The quality of the fish depends on how effective the fertilizer will be on the plant it is used on.
With ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' expansion pack, players can register as a [[Skill career|self-employed]] fisher.
 
There are certain types of fish that can only be caught if Sims travel to one of the three locations shipped with ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]''. Sims can catch frogs, snails and crawfish in [[Champs Les Sims]]. In [[Shang Simla]] the types of fish Sims can catch are doitsu koi, kawarimono koi, ochiba koi, tancho koi and dragon fish. In [[Al Simhara]], Sims can catch crocodiles and mummy fish. These fish are exclusive to these locations and cannot be caught in any other world shipped with ''[[The Sims 3]]''.
If you have TS3P then if you have a cat that has a good hunter trait, it is very good to use as a fisherman for your sims is they don't have time.
 
With ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' expansion pack, players can register as a [[Skill career|self-employed]] angler.

The Sim can learn the bait type for a specific fish species by buying and reading the fishing books from the [[bookstore#Fishing Books|bookstore]] or just by successfully catching a particular species once using the right bait type. Fishing books are not available in the [[Library|community public library]].
 
All aquatic animals caught fishing can be kept as [[pet (small)|pets]] in an [[aquarium]] or they can be used to [[Fishing (The Sims 3)#Stocking Ponds|stock a pond]].

===Notes===
*OddlyIronically, the Vampire Fish's favorite bait is garlic, which is one of a vampire's weaknesses.
*Robot Fish can be found in a pond in most [[science lab]]s. It's the only fish that can weigh over aone ton.
*Deathfish can be found in a pond in [[graveyard]]s. It can be only be caught between midnight and 5 AM, unless it's caught from a Sim-made deathfish-stocked pond. The graveyard pond will only yield a maximum of six (sometimes five) deathfish per night. After the sixth is caught, the pond reverts to just red herring and vampire fish, regardless of the hour.
*Red Herring is not a real fish, but a common expression for something that distracts attention from a real issue. Like most fish, herrings have silvery scales.
*All fish from ''[[Island Paradise]]'' cannot be caught from fishing. The only way to catch them is from scuba diving in the [[diving area]]s, hence the lack of bait.
**It is, however, possible to stock a pond with them like any other fish and catch them that way. If you stock a pond with these fish, they cannot be seen swimming in the water but they can still be caught like all other fish in the game.
*Traveling to the future is not enough to catch either of the unique fish in ''[[Into the Future]]''. You must go into the Dystopian future to catch a Three Eyed Fish and into the Utopian Future to Catch a Rainbow Snail.
 
== Trophies ==
Line 543 ⟶ 633:
Fish can also be put in fish bowls or an [[aquarium]]{{Vgversion|TS3:HELS}}. Fish bowls can be bought in buy mode. All fish fit in a bowl, one fish per bowl or six fish per tank. Fish are nameable, but must be fed each day or they will die. Fish can be scooped out of bowls, and put back in a Sim's inventory.
 
== Stocking Pondsponds ==
[[File:Frog.jpg|thumb|250px|Ribbit.]]
If a Sim has 10 or more fish of one type in their inventory, they can stock any [[pond]] with that fish. By stocking fish, a new type of fish is introduced in that pond. The pond will then contain an unlimited supply of that fish type for fishing.
Line 549 ⟶ 639:
There is no limit on how many different fish types there can be in one pond. Any type of fish or any type of pond will do, including Deathfish and ponds not on playable lots. Stocking a pond with the Deathfish (or any other fish, for that matter) will allow it to be caught at any time of the day in that pond.
 
A tip in obtaining better Death Fish is purchasing 10 Alley Catfish and stocking them in a pond in order to obtain a perfect Alley Catfish. Then fish 10 Angel Fish and stock them in the same pond. At midnight to 5am the angler will be able to get a very good or perfect Deathfish.

==Buydebug Fishingfishing Spawnersspawners==
Fishing spots can be populated with fish by using fishing spawners. Fishing spawners can be found under the buy menu when the cheat buydebug is turned on. Here is a list of fish in the game, by fishing spawner:
