A Sim being attacked by a shark

A shark is an aquatic animal that appears in The Sims 3: Island Paradise. Sims may encounter sharks while they are diving in a dive spot. Unlike the Kraken, sharks will only appear in Isla Paradiso unless the player places a shark spawner in another world. Sharks may attack Sims and kill them. Sims can avoid a shark attack by hiding in an underwater cave, or if they win a fight against a shark, the shark will leave. There are 4 types of shark in the game, which include the Blacktip Reef Shark, Tiger Shark, Lemon Shark, and Great White Shark. Sims that have been killed by sharks have a purple ghost. Mermaids can summon sharks if they have the Evil trait. Sims that win against a shark attack will receive a shark tooth.

Before a Sim goes diving, it's recommended to remove all the meat from the Sim's Inventory to reduce the chances of an attack.

Using the watch shark interaction seems to increase the chances of a shark attack. (needs verification)

Having a high athletic skill and or martial arts skill seems to greatly increase the chances of winning a shark fight. (needs verification)

An excellent way of making money is to take the city hall mission to collect 5 seashells, then farm 5 shark teeth, this will net the sim 35,000 when they hand in the opportunity.
