Angelfish are a valuable and rare find in The Sims 4, particularly if you’re interested in crafting the Ambrosia dish, which is essential for resurrecting dead Sims. In the 2024 update, the methods for catching Angelfish remain unchanged but have undergone some subtle adjustments. Below is a detailed guide to assist you in capturing this prized fish and elevating your gaming experience.
KEYPOINT: Behind the library in Willow Creek, Angelfish can be located and caught at the fishing spot using roses as bait, although any fresh flower or small fish should also be effective.
Importance of Angelfish
Angelfish are not just another rare species to add to your Sim’s collection; they are a crucial component in creating Ambrosia. In addition to Angelfish, you will also need a Death Flower and a Potion of Youth to make Ambrosia, but obtaining Angelfish is likely the most challenging part of the process. It may be difficult, but the effort is well worth it!
Prerequisites for Catching Angelfish
Before embarking on a fishing expedition, ensure that your Sim is adequately prepared:
- Fishing Skill: The higher the fishing skill, the easier it becomes to catch rare fish like Angelfish. Ideally, your Sim should have a minimum Fishing skill level of 3.
- Fishing Spot: Angelfish can be found in specific fishing spots across the map.
- Bait: While it is possible to fish without bait, using specific bait (such as small fish or frogs) increases your likelihood of catching Angelfish.
Optimal Fishing Locations for Angelfish (2024 Update)
- Willow Creek: The most favored spot for catching Angelfish is the stream behind the Crick Cabana lot in Willow Creek. This location is renowned for its higher probability of catching Angelfish.
- Magnolia Blossom Park: Another potential fishing location for Angelfish is the pond at Magnolia Blossom Park in Willow Creek.
- Sylvan Glade: If your Sim has access to the hidden area of Sylvan Glade, Angelfish can also be found here. To reach it, you must travel through a tree in Crick Cabana.
Utilizing Bait for Improved Results
While it is feasible to catch Angelfish without bait, using the appropriate bait can enhance your chances. Here are the most effective baits for catching Angelfish:
- Small Fish: Utilize a common fish such as minnows or perch.
- Frogs: If your Sim has frogs in their inventory, they can also be used as bait.
Steps for Catching Angelfish
- Develop Your Fishing Skill: Start by sending your Sim to any fishing spot and have them practice fishing. As they progress, they will unlock the ability to catch rarer fish.
- Select the Right Spot: Head to one of the recommended spots, such as the river behind Crick Cabana in Willow Creek. Look for signs of active fish in the area.
- Use Bait: If you have any small fish or frogs in your inventory, click on the fishing spot and select “Fish with Bait” to improve your chances of catching Angelfish.
- Exercise Patience: Even in the best spots with the right bait, catching an Angelfish may take time. Ensure that your Sim has the patience to wait it out.
Alternative Approaches
If fishing is not yielding results, or if you seek a quicker way to obtain an Angelfish, consider these methods:
- Purchase an Angelfish: Through the use of specific cheats or mods, you can directly buy an Angelfish from build/buy mode.
- Participate in Fishing Competitions: Periodically, the game hosts fishing competitions that offer rare fish like Angelfish as rewards.
- Attend Fishing Festivals: In certain expansion packs (such as City Living or Cottage Living), fishing festivals may provide opportunities to catch rare fish like Angelfish.
