Angling with Outdoor Retreat Installed

At Neighborly SimsCraft, we've started a new challenge: Angling Ace Aspiration. In the challenge, within a rules setup, our Sims have to complete the entire set of Angling Ace milestones.

The final milestone includes catching 20 different types of fish. Before Outdoor Retreat, that meant your Sim HAD to be able to go fishing at the Forgotten Grotto, because there wasn't any other way TO catch 20 different types. In order to get into the grotto, your Sim has to be at level 10 in the mechanical skill! Goodness! It seems ridiculous to have to get through TWO different aspiration sets of challenges, just to get through the ONE set!

Now there is another way. There are different fish at Granite Falls. Joy! Unfortunately, the game (though it gives the sound for getting the different type of fish) is NOT adding the Granite Falls fish to the count for the milestone. 😕mileysad:

I have a feeling that it's SUPPOSED to be adding it, since the sound happens. I thought I'd check to see if anyone knows whether the Granite Falls fish have been purposely screened out of that milestone, or whether it's just a glitch.

Also, my Sim didn't realize he was evidently supposed to not mount his fish until he had reached Milestone II. So...his first five mounted fish didn't count in that second milestone. Is that supposed to be the case? Other things that have been accomplished before finishing one part DO seem accrue to a later part (for instance, the level of fishing skill). So...MAYBE this is also a glitch...?

  • I think I saw a tweet by a guru that the new ones don't count. They couldn't somehow add that.

    I think you only need to open the grotto with one Sim and then others can just go in. So have another Sim max mechanic skills to open it up.

  • OK...that doesn't make a lot of sense if they couldn't add them. The sound happens. It would seem they meant them to count. Ah well...

    Regarding the grotto--thanks! We'll try that!

    Can't remember who tweeted it so it's a bit hard to hunt down but I do believe it's how it works.

    Can try to find out more details to see if anyone else remembers
