How to find and catch Angelfish in The Sims 4

Angelfish in The Sims 4 is a crucial ingredient for making the Ambrosia dish, a rare and challenging recipe that can bring Sims back to life. However, depending on your fish proficiency, you may go an entire playthrough without seeing this fishꦦ once.

How to catch Angelfish in The Sims 4

Angelfish is an uncommon fish in The Sims 4 that requires at least level three fishing to catch. It’s a small fish that doesn’t require any bait and is common in every base-game world and several expansion pack areas. If you try finding Angelfish before reaching level three, you’ll instead see fish like minnows, goldfish, or bass, among various expansion pack species if you own any.

Once you reach level three fishing, visit any fishing spot and look for an Angelfish swimming nearby. Every spot has a school of fish that swim around, with its possible variants appearing among the bunch. If Angelfish spawn in your chosen location, you’ll eventually spot them swimming around.

Easiest ways to raise fishing levels in The Sims 4

Regardless of your Sims character’s circumstances, fishing is the best way to level up your skills. Even if the fish in a particular pond or river is “too crafty” for your low-level character, you’ll still gain some experience points before they give up and move on to another activity. With this in mind, you can continuously queue fishing until they level up and get the hang of fishing.

Being in a Focused mood will make your experience gain much quicker, so be sure to browse the Simpedia or play a quick chess match beforehand. Depending on your Sim’s skills and traits, you can also research gardening, upgrade furniture, or randomly gain a focused moodlet if your Sim has the Genius trait.

Alternatively, you can read Fishing skill books if you’re in the middle of stormy weather or the Winter season. You’ll only need the first volume of the Fishing skill book to catch Angelfish. You can buy it through any bookshelf for 75 Simoleons, making it relatively inexpensive for its usefulness.

Best Angelfish fishing locations in The Sims 4

The best Angelfish fishing spots in The Sims 4 partially depend on your character’s skill levels, what expansion packs you own, and your playthrough’s restrictions. While a non-restricted Sim can visit multiple worlds and find Angelfish easily, restricting yourself to your home neighbourhood, particular world types, or base game only will significantly determine where you fish.

With th🥀at said, below are so𒉰me of the best spots to visit for Angelfish farming:

• Willow Creek – Crawdad Quarter lots
• Oasis Springs – All fishing spots, including Forgotten Grotto locations
• Newcrest – All fishing spots
• San Myshuno (City Living) – All fishing spots
• Sulani (Island Living) – All fishing spots
• Brindleton Bay (Cats and Dogs) – All fishing spots

If you only have The Sims 4’s base game, your best bet is to visit Willow Creek’s bottom-left community lots or Oasis Springs’ river spots. These are my go-to even with expansions, especially with how consistently I get fish like Angelfish. However, if you have a character restricted to Sulani’s beaches only or a City Living apartment-only playthrough, you have a few extra options that let you stick to these particular worlds.

How to use Angelfish in The Sims 4

Much like regular fish, you can use Angelfish for cooking, decoration in your house for a Confident decor moodlet boost, or selling for extra Simoleons. However, unlike other fish, Angelfish is primarily used as an ingredient for Ambrosia, a level ten Gourmet Cooking recipe that brings Ghost Sims back to life. It’s also a crucial part of the Reaper’s Rewards event during the second half of 2024, as the entire event has you ﷽making Ambrosia and befriending the Grim Reaper.
