Don't worry about asking questions.  We all had to learn everything from the beginning, too.  :)

The problem with fish and travelling is another bug.  You're supposed to be able to return home with everything in your inventory, but it's not working.  Electronic Arts will have to fix it with a patch, just like the bait bug.

Okay that makes sense, hopefully they'll fix it soon.  Thanks again.

Is it just fish that go missing during travel, or does the rest of the inventory disappear too?

I've been doing a lot of travelling lately and everything but fish. I don't quite remember but I think some fruits might have vanished so best be safe.

I traveled yesterday and the fish disappeared. The relics, books, insects and birds was still in the inventory.

Fishing bait doesn't work
« Reply #21 on: March 28, 2012, 08:39:45 PM »
When my sim got to level five of fishing I told him to start fishing with cheese . Then low and behold he canceled the interaction this has happened multiple times at differnt fishing spots. I restarted my computer and no luck. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to solve it?

Do you have any special seeds in your inventory? If so, take them out and place them on the ground then try. If that doesn't work it could be due to a bug..
there is a thread heare about it

We already have a topic for this, so I'm going to merge the two together.

Fishing for Angelfish in Twinbrook
« Reply #24 on: April 05, 2012, 07:17:14 AM »
I've been trying to fish for Angelfish in Twinbrook and my Sim just refuses to fish where they are. The command just disappears from the top left corner.
I only have the pond behind the Stadium as I replaced the other pond by the Cemetery with the Equestrian additions that come with the Pets expansion - as discussed in other threads as another place to find them. I can't find Angelfish anywhere else in Twinbrook.

Anyone else had this problem and any ideas how I can get around this?

There is a similar topic about the action for fishing disappearing. I'm merging this thread with that one.

I did notice that when I was fishing for angelfish in sunset park I had 6 alleycat fish fresh from the market across the road. That the commanded option for the bait was written in green, compared to the normal black, I could fish with other baits but not the alleycat specific for angel fish. Eventually got a couple with the lure and went up to graveyard and the same thing happened again, when wanting to use angelfish.

This was for specific points in the water, that is examine water, checking to make sure the fish are in that spot then fishing with the bait on that spot, the choice of bait was written in green. Also i could fish another area of the pond, from the same standing position, and fish with the desired bait.

I found this bug to be specific for the exact area (us an anglers here in the uk call that "your swim" - the area in which you are fishing in dirfectly in front) in the pond for the desired fish.

I gave up trying and fished with lure making sure I was stood in behind the grim reaper, as I found if was fishing from the side I would catch just one a night, where as fishing from behind the reaper i would catch 3, at least, sometimes 4.

My skills at the time were lvl 10 and the only challenge I didnt have was commercial fisherman, I have it now tho.

I caught enough for my fridge and enough to stock my pond.

P.S. I might have had an odd rare seed tho. No special seeds tho, I always planted them a.s.a.p. and I have never bothered picking up an uncommon either.

Edit - Just noticed this is for Twinbrooke, sorry, but I am sure it is the same bug in each town

Hi, not sure if people are still having this problem, but I was. I found a solution that worked here:

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=12550.0

You basically have to restock each fishing spot before you can fish with bait there, so I stocked up with loads of goldfish to do this
