This article introduces good place for fishing with fishing skill in the Neighborhoods of Sims 3, Sunset Valley and Riverside town.

Sim can start fishing on most fresh water ponds or beach in the Neighborhood. Some residential lot may have pond with fish. But, there are some good fishing spots. At such good fishing spots, you can see several fish are floating underwater or jumping above water when watched carefully in closeup.

You can identify available fish variety and "hotness" of the spot on the water with Inspect Water menu command.

Water spot has three levels of "hotness" for fishing.

  • Hot spot - Very active hot fishing spot with "Jumping" fish. Good for fishing.
After catching 5 ~ 6 fish in same hot spot (It takes about 2-3 hours of fishing), the hot spot may become cool spot for a while.
  • Cool spot - Cool spot has less fish than hot spot due to continued fishing.
There are fish underwater but no "jumping" fish. It is time to move on to other hot spot. It will recover to hot spot next day.
  • Ordinary water - Body of ordinary water out of the hot/cool fishing spots.
The water has some fish, but not many. Usually low level fish only. Bad for fishing.
