Rags to Riches: Fishing Edition Goals and Rules:

Note you can start with one to three sims. If you play with more than one sim, anyone who is a teen and up must complete all required goals. If you do any of the optional goals, you can choose whether one or all sims will complete them.

Goals:

1. Complete fishing aspiration
2. Complete base game fishing collection
3. Fish in every world, including any vacation worlds (i.e., for each pack you have, if you only have base game, then fish in every neighbourhood with fishing).
4. Max the handiness skill
5. Fish in Sylvan Glade and Forgotten Grotto (the latter requires level 10 of handiness skill 😊)
6. At a minimum, build a one bedroom, one bathroom home worth 20k per sim (if you play with one sim, it needs to be worth 20k, if you play with 2 sims, it needs to be worth 40k, and so on, though you only need to count sims that are child or older)

Optional Goals (choose any or all):

1. Complete fortune aspiration.
2. Complete making money scenario.
3. Fish in the Hermit’s neighbourhood (Outdoor Retreat required).
4. Fish in every neighbourhood with fishing (vs only in every world).
5. Catch every fish in the game.
6. Display one of each fish you catch (either by mounting them or in a fishbowl or aquarium). Alternatively, just display the uncommon and/or rare fish.
7. Max the part time fishing career (requires Island Living).
8. Max the Odd Job rating (requires Island Living).

I plan on trying to complete optional goals 1, 3 & 5. I may work on some more; I’ll see how it goes!

Rules:

1. Start with nothing on a mostly empty lot (unstocked pond is fine, and if the lot comes with some landscaping, increase the value that your house needs to be to reflect that starting value).
2. Most money must come from things caught fishing. But that doesn’t mean just from fish, you can catch other things, those are fine to sell, or to craft into something else and sell.
3. You can plant any harvestables you catch.
4. Your sims can do Odd Jobs &/or a part time career (though this may interfere with their fishing)

Optional Rules:

1. No selling into inventory until you have a yard sale table (requires either City Living, Jungle Adventures or Eco Lifestyle).
2. Use simple living lot challenge, however, until you have completed goal 6 you can only buy Cottage Living items (eggs, meat, cheese, bread, oversized produce) to cook with. The rest must be caught fishing, and then planted and harvested. After you complete that goal, you can buy seed packets to get more harvestables to plant and eat.
3. Play off the grid. Once you complete the fishing collection you can connect to the grid.
4. Furnish your house from things crafted/found dumpster diving/purchased in game (not in build/buy mode). Exception, once you find one kitchen counter, you can buy more of the same. You can buy things you don’t find dumpster diving or craft, like skill building objects, Seasons’ holiday objects. If your sim has a child, you can buy things needed for them. *To make it easier, you can buy the cheapest item to use, and only upgrade once you find something better dumpster diving. You can ignore this rule once you complete goals 1 through 5 (and optional goal 1 if you are doing that one).
