Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go fishing at fishing spots in Sulani
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim cant reach the spot and resets his to do list. I tried every Fishing spot in Sulani and it never worked. Fishing from the boat is still possible.

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit the one at AHQ.
Additionally, Mua Pel’Am has unique socials linked to endangered fish poaching, and St. Taz has the most lots with the Oceanic Splendor Lot trait that does affect fishing.
Is anyone seeing problems with fish poachers visiting the Admiral Wreckage or experience issues fishing while visiting Sapphire Shores.
I’ll test things as quickly as I can, but these are things unique to Sulani that involve fishing.
I know that the fishing interaction isn’t working with the sims we are playing, but the 3 things I mentioned are unique to Sulani and related to fishing.
During the Fishing Tournament, many townies gather to fish. It would be a pretty easy place to take screenshots of this bug and see the extent of this bug’s impact.
Fish Poachers in Mua Pel’Am have red exclamation marks ❗️ above their head. Their most frequent spot where you can catch them is close to Admiral Wreckage. This particular situation involves social interactions unique to Sulani.
The Oceanic Splendor Lot trait appears in four places throughout Sulani. This lot trait does affect fishing and the easiest place to do this would be Sapphire Shores. It’s probably not gonna work but it would be helpful to see the bug on lot.
I have limited time, and the earliest I can do tests for things will be the end of this week. I do know that fishing in Sulani is a pretty big part of that world. I’m hoping the additional info helps.
Same bug here. Not able to fish in Sulani. Annoying as my legacy sim is a fisherman & can't leave Sulani as part of the legacy rules. No mods installed.
I got the screenshots of the UI. Will share what I found on the EA help site as well.
First thing that is difficult to share without UI is the Spearfishing at Mua Pel'Am and St. Taz. Both have the same glitch. You can spearfish, gain xp, but nothing you catch will appear in your inventory. I don't know if this is related but I don't think you can spear fish anywhwere else in the Sims 4.
Also, with the help of the UI, it's easier to show why I think this could be an issue with how sims move around the map. I only see this when a sim physically can't get to somewhere.
Sims can set traps to catch fish, but so far, I have not had them catch anything. Even after speeding up time.
I turned off mods to replicate screenshots of the UI during the unmodded test. Examining the water works, and the sims in Ohan'Ali Town will path to a boat to perform the fishing interaction. After multiple tests, they only path to a boat in Ohan'Ali Town, not Mua Pel'Am or St. Taz. It does appear that this bug is a little different depending on where your sim is in Sulani.
Given what I found, I went to a beach kiosk to buy a boat. I placed the kiosk on a beach lot I made in St. Taz. I tried to see if my sim would use the boat from the Kiosk to fish in St. Taz if he had it in his inventory. It didn't work.
The final test was going back to Ohan'Ali Town to see if what I tried to do in St. Taz would work there. It took a few tries, but it did end up working.
It worked after I moved Stevie all the way towards the fishing sign and then he pathed back to his boat to fish. This is a bit tedious because it requires having your sim walk or run pretty far to get them to fish this way.
The best advice I can give for getting around this bug in Sulani is to go to a beach kiosk, buy the boat, and then use it to fish from while sailing. I can do more tests to confirm it, but I'm pretty sure it should be possible to fish in Sulani from a boat if you have one in your sim's inventory. Until the bug gets fixed, this is my only work around I've found. If you go to Ohan'Ali Town to fish, your sim will path toward their boat or a boat in the open world.
I have the same error. But only in Sulani. But when my sim is on the boat, he can fish. Also when the sim is on the boat and I click on the spot with the fishing spot, he also catches fish from people.
