Fishing Spots
Fishing is a great way to relax, plus you can earn some money on the side. Reeling in a big catch and selling it to the supermarket is a fun way to line your pockets with Simoleons.
Sims who Love the Outdoors get a huge mood boost out of fishing, and you can plop a radio next to them to drive that mood even higher. (This works for any Sim, not just those with the Loves the Outdoors trait.)
Fishing is a great stress-reliever, too, for any Sims but those who Hate the Outdoors.

On rare occasions, you will reel in something other than a fish. Litterbugs have discarded belongings in the lakes and ponds, but at least their refuse is another Sim's treasure.
When you do manage to reel in a crate, there is a good chance it will contain a valuable item, such as World's Brew Bubble Bath or Death Flower. If you're really lucky, the crate will contain a magic gnome!
