I just bought cottage living and island living with hopes to do an off-the-grid Simple living survival challenge on the separate island in Sulani. My sim was going to knit their own clothes, start with 0 simoleans and essentially never leave the island no matter what. However, the fishing spot on the island didn’t work. No matter how many times I queued the fishing interaction, my sim started waving their arms and saying they couldn’t go there! I also tried to place a debug one and that still didn’t work?! Hello?! I just finished a long day of work and was looking forward to starting this challenge and using Cottage and Island living for the first time! I did some research to see if anyone else had the same problem. Apparently this has been happening since the new update… WHICH WAS TWO WEEKS AGO! PLEASE FIX THIS! I spent a bunch of money and now I feel discouraged to played the sims cause it’s broken!
Ideas
I also can't fish in Sulani. I play without any mods. So it's not the mods fault but the game.
I just moved a household to the spot next to the volcano and both fishing spots in the neighborhood won't work! I'm doing a very similar challenge and I have one fisher sim and he can't feed his family anymore!!!
That's crazy because I am having the EXACT same issue. Also have a "homeless" sim trying to live completely off the island and I cannot fish. I'm living on the lot near the volcano and both fishing spots won't work. Hopefully they resolve this soon
This issue has been pretty well-established as something that affects everyone with Island Living, so there's nothing crazy about you having the EXACT same issue as everyone else. That's actually good news, since it means the issue should be pretty easy for the developers to duplicate and troubleshoot.
As for your "homeless" Sim, I would suggest planting lots of coconuts, pineapples, and taro root, and then selling the plants. You'll get a lot more money for these plants than you do for the harvestables. However, you should probably keep a few plants so that you can improve their quality and increase the size of the garden.
Me too
I am having the same issue, so far i was able to fish anywhere else but not in Sulani, somehow i managed to fish with a canoe, there is one that i been using by the Ohan'Ali beach, its annoying but works for now haha, hope this helps for now!
If you want to continue your challenge of never leaving the island, there are some other things you can do to earn money without any equipment. For instance, you could look for seashells and then sell them.
I would recommend gardening, for both money and food, except that I don't think there are any plants growing on the garden. You might want to buy a garden pot and use it to buy some seeds as soon as you can afford them.
Thanks, I will definitely try to look for sea shells. ( I didnt know you could do that! ) And I will definitely be growing a garden because I also gave my sim’s lot the simple living challenge!
I know you don't wanna have them leave the island but you can still fish from boats in sulani, there should be a random boat around the world near the island. You could use that if you really want to fish?

I've never had this issue before, until today. I have a family of sims living there, and they can fish with no problem. However, I made a new sim, same save, same world, and he can't fish! What is going on with that> I use mods, but have no new ones, and the few that needed it were fixed after the patch and updated. I'm VERY careful. This should not be happening.
Also can't fish since yesterday and right now it happens that I also can't clean those sulfur puddles and the ones directly near the volcano. Does someone else have that as well?
Everyone is having trouble fishing in Sulani right now, as you would know if you had taken the time to read the thread.
Cleaning the sulfur puddles is a different problem, so you should make a separate topic for it.
I'm having the same problem last month I could fish in sulani now i can
