Piranhas after latest patch??

Hi guys!

Just wondering if anyone here has managed to catch a piranha since they updated the fishing system. I’ve been at it for a couple of sim weeks with my fishing level 10 vampire sim now, fishing in places where I know they exist and using mostly medium sized fishes for bait (but have tried small fish, large fish and plants as well), but no luck. I’m curious to know if the update actually made the piranha uncatchable by accident, or if I’ve just happened to have the worst luck in the world lol.

If you have managed to catch one, I’d love to know where and with what bait and skill level. It’s the only one I’ve got left to complete my fish collection in my Legacy :)

    The last one I caught was in the lake in Strangerville (which I did not even know it had those fish there, so I was surprised) and my sim was using strawberries for bait as that is the only thing he had left in his inventory. I always have some fruits in my sims inventories in case they get starving when they are out of the house - and sometimes I use their garden pickings for bait just to see what they catch. But I was not aware of what fish were in Strangerville - so it was not intentional. My sim caught that the day the patch came out but it was before the new pack came out - so just the patch.

    He only caught the one piranha - but he caught other fish there in multiples. My sim was only level 6 I believe. He did go to level 7 that evening but I do believe he was just level 6 when he caught that - but I could be wrong - he might have been at level 7 already. I just keep thinking he wasn't yet.

    Thank you!! I’ll see if I can get a less skilled sim out there with some strawberries in tow. I’ll do anything at this point to catch this menace ?

    Thank you!! Found it in Strangerville pond in shady acres so fast after spending hours failing in willow creek and oasis springs. If anyone else is wondering, I used trout as bait.
