The Sims 4 Island Living comes with four new careers including the part-time Fisherman career. This is just one of three new part-time careers that your Sim can join.
As with any career, your Sim can join the Fisherman career simply by sitting down at a laptop/computer, using their cell phone or by the career tab on the user interface.
Note: Your Sim can have more than one part-time job, providing that the shift times do not conflict with each other.
Like most of the careers in the game, your Sim will go to work and return at the end of their shift. There is also no work from home assignments for this career.
The Fisherman career also comes with three levels that can be found detailed below.
Job Role | Work Days & Shift Times | Hourly Rate | Promotion Tasks | Promotion Bonus |
---|---|---|---|---|
Goldfish Hunter | Monday to Friday 5am-9am or 9pm-1am | $33 | Reach Level 2 Fishing Skill | |
River Wrangler | Monday to Friday 5am-9am or 9pm-1am | $40 | Reach Level 4 Fishing Skill | Life of Fish (Decoration) |
Deep Sea Fishing Master | Monday to Friday 5am-9am or 9pm-1am | $48 | N/A | Swordfish - Mounted |
The Fishing skill also received an update in the 18th June 2019 PC/Mac patch which added some new features to the skill that you can find listed below. These new additions also enhance the fishing career even more!
