Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm afraid I don't know what triggers it, but it happens frequently. It seems to be when my Sim is hanging out with a new friend. ...maybe.
What happens when the bug occurs? Suddenly, I will receive a notification that someone in my household has "discovered a new type of fish," even though they're just hanging out indoors, not doing anything involving fishing.
What do you expect to see? I expect to only receive notifications about fishing while I'm actually fishing.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
In the picture I attached, the "Alpha Goodall" is the sim standing by the oven. Marwa Frond has the green Mohawk. Alpha's eating something Marwa cooked, and she's having a bowl of peas. How on Earth did he discover Salmon? To my knowledge, neither of them has even been fishing in their whole lives. This will typically happen once a (real world) day when I play this game.
Part of this is by design as you now can learn fish if you talk about fish related stuff.
It shouldn't happen to NPCs or if you have no fishing skill though.
- RandomBuzziness6 years agoSeasoned Ace@crinrict I tested this and Sims can definitely learn a new fish in their Notebook through the "Discuss Local Fishing Spots" dialog even when they no Fishing skill whatsoever (Level 0). I agree that it shouldn't happen if you have no fishing skill, but it appears that is how the game currently works.
As for the NPCs I can only presume they gain fishing knowledge directly from fishing.
