Re: Sim can’t fish anywhere but graveyard in Bridgeport?

@526chick  Are you playing the 64-bit Mac version of Sims 3?  If so, that's the issue, or at least most of it: all open-water options, including fishing, are unavailable unless you can click the water through another object (like a boat).  This is a known bug with the 64-bit version.  Ponds should be fine though as long as they're actual ponds.  If you can't fish there, please post a screenshot of what you're seeing and list the lot(s) affected.

The message about being too inexperienced to fish at the graveyard is normal because even in daytime, you can only catch red herring (level 3) and vampire fish (level 8).  Without the proper bait, sims are incapable of catching fish below their skill level, although they'll still build skill while trying.

@Sketch793  Just fyi, sims can't travel between homeworlds in Sims 3 without a mod.  So a sim living in Bridgeport could travel to vacation worlds or University but not Sunset Valley.

    Oops, forgot about that. I haven't played TS3 very much in the last 9 to 10 years. When I do play, it's mostly at Sim State University.
