Ways/Places to fish on the Island
I'm not seeing many fishing signs on the island. There should be some way to fish off piers - right? Are there any ways to fish I am missing?

@catloverplayer Ah, okay. Well, I've tried that net at the premade location and it did work for my Sim. But, all she caught was small, base game fish there. To be fair, she was at a low level in fishing at the time though.
@simstr0ng Good news! Placing a fishing sign at the end of a player made pier works! Sort've... When I first clicked on the sign my Sim did indeed start fishing and it looked like this:

She even caught a Leopard shark!

But, then I noticed something. The fish are floating in the air. The only fish actually IN the water were the ones diving down to disappear.

So it works, but it looks weird from the side. I also had to remove her ladder and fencing at the end of the pier. To make it look realistic, your pier would need to be at the water's edge and that would just defeat the purpose of having a pier, might as well just place the fishing sign in the sand on the water's edge in that case. But if you don't care how it 'looks', it works. :)
This was just a quick experiment though to see if it would work. Perhaps if you fiddle around with placement of your pier and the sign it would work better? *shrugs* I might do that and see what I can figure out to make the fish actually be IN the water instead of float/flying in the air above it. lol
Happy Simming! <3
*Note - It was night when I tried this, so I had to take the screenshots in build mode so I could change the time to daylight hours. That's why you're seeing the build mode white line. Man, I wish we could change the time of day in live mode sometimes for screenshots. Oh well...
