Fish
Considering Moonlight Falls’ natural location, it should be no surprise that fishing is a major pastime of its citizens. There are multiple fishing spots around town, including both lake and ocean, where you can reel in a catch.
If you are pursuing the Alchemy skill and elixir-creation, you will spend some time with a hook in the water. Several elixirs require the new fish introduced in Supernatural : Toad, Luminous Salamander, and Fairy Damsel. All three of these new fish are detailed in the tables in this section, including best locations, best bait, and resale value. Upping your Fishing skill is necessary to haul the best fish on to the shore, so don’t be hesitant with advancing this skill for fun as well as profit.
There are three new fish introduced to the ecosystem in Supernatural . All of these fish appear in every township, not just Moonlight Falls, once Supernatural has been installed. The new fish are the common Toad (bait with Agarius Mushroom), the uncommon Luminous Salamander (bait with Mycena Lux-Coeli), and the rare Fairy Damsel (bait with Glow Orb Mushroom).

Crates
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!

Fishing Skill
The Fishing skill is good for three things: Keeping food on the table, earning money, and relaxing. Sims with the Angler trait have a head start on other Sims who pick up a rod and reel, but any Sims can take a class to advance the Fishing skill or just plop a bobber in the water and start learning through experience.
Acquire by: Take Fishing Class, Read Fishing Book, Fishing
Development tools:No tools needed
Development Benefits
The Fishing skill begins one of three ways—by reading a book, taking a class, or just going out to a body of water and using the Fish interaction. Once the Fishing skill is under way, the skill increases either by continued reading or continued fishing. Just having a hook under the surface is enough to develop the skill, but this is a slow way to learn. The skill actually gets a bump when you catch a fish. And the bigger the fish, the bigger the skill bump.
When a fish is hoisted out of the water, the Sim holds it up and the weight of the fish is automatically logged in the Skill Journal. If it’s a new type of fish, that is also noted.
Once the Sim reaches level 3 with the Fishing skill, they can choose the Bait interaction at the water’s edge to use a specific type of bait while fishing. Bait is essential if a Sim hopes to catch more than just the basic fish. Gaining levels also unlocks the ability to catch certain fish. However, just unlocking a type of fish does not guarantee actually catching it.
Using any bait slightly increases the chance of catching all fish. It also drastically increases the chance of catching the fish that loves that specific bait type. Higher quality bait tends to catch bigger fish, but only for fish that specifically like that bait. So use Perfect bait to catch the biggest fish. You can also use bait to catch fish that are somewhat higher level than your Sim’s Fishing skill. Sims can catch fish up to 3 levels higher than their skill by using the right bait, although it will be harder to catch those fish until the Sim is higher skill.
Skill Challenges
Amateur Ichthyologist: Amateur Ichthyologists have caught at least one of every fish type. Their deep understanding of marine life helps them catch the bigger fish.
Commercial Fisherman: Commercial Fishermen have caught at least 350 fish. They catch more fish in less time than normal Sims.
