==Learning==

 

==Fishing spots==

 

Some fishing spots yield a better chance of obtaining rare objects, plants, or fish. For instance, Sims can acquire rare fish from [[Sylvan Glade]] and [[Forgotten Grotto]]; and a fishing spot north of [[Desert Bloom Park]] yields a greater chance of finding a [[Laganaphyllis Simnovorii#The Sims 4|cowplant berry]] or a [[voodoo doll]]. Some fishing spots can also be too difficult for low-leveled fishers, as fish can be too hard to catch in those areas.

 

==Uses of fish==

After a Sim has caught a fish, they can sell them for an amount Simoleons based on its quality. The rarer the fish, the higher value it has. Alternatively, fish can be mounted on walls as decoration. They produce a [[confident]] aura of varying strengths, depending on the type of fish. Sims can also put fish into fishing bowls and [[aquarium]]s, where they will act as decoration. They can be named, but cannot be fed and will never die. Fish can be used as fresh ingredients in cooking and will boost the quality of the food. They can be used as fertilizers in gardening as well, boosting the overall quality of the plant.

 

 

==Using baits==

At level three, Sims can use different types of baits to gain a better rate of catching rare fish. Certain fish will only appear if a matching bait is used. At level five, Sims gain the "Examine Water" interaction. This can be done in fishing spots and allows Sims to get an idea of what types of baits to use in order to catch rare fish. The interaction can only be done once per hour, and is the most successful if the Sim [[focused]].
