The Sims 3 eGuide Essentials Tour of Sunset Valley

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.

Several fishing spots in Sunset Valley are loaded with fish. The pond in Central Park has already been noted. Here are the other fishing spots in Sunset Valley, which are located far and wide.

Recurve Strand

Sunnyside Strand

Crystal Springs

Summer Hill Springs

Stoney Falls

Pinochle Pond

Now, are all fishing spots equal? No. But a lot also depends on what kind of bait you use and the degree of your Fishing skill. For a full explanation of how to catch fish, please refer to the Fishing skill section in the Simology chapter. However, here is where to look for specific fish and what kind of bait is best for catching them:

On rare occasions, you will reel in something other than a fish from the waters of Sunset Valley. Litterbugs in Sunset Valley 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 Bubble Bath or Death Flower. If you’re really lucky, the crate will have a magic gnome inside of it!
