The Fish collection in The Sims 4 is quite extensive, as there is a wide variety of species that players can catch in-game. As Sims increase their Fishing Skill, the more fish they'll be able to catch.

Fishing in The Sims 4 not only provides a relaxing pastime for Sims but also offers a variety of benefits that can enhance gameplay.

The Treefish is a rare fish in The Sims 4. However, despite its rarity, Sims can encounter it as soon as they get to Level 2 of the Fishing Skill, and it doesn't even require any sort of bait to catch. This guide will tell players what they need to know about catching Treefish in The Sims 4, whether they're trying to complete a quest or finish the Fish collection.

Where to Find the Treefish in The Sims 4

Treefish Location

The Treefish is catchable in the ponds in Willow Creek. However, players significantly increase their chances of finding it if they head to Sylvan Glade, the Willow Creek hidden lot in The Sims 4, and fish in its pond.

In the base game, players can travel to Sylvan Glade in The Sims 4 by interacting with the large tree in the Foundry Cove neighborhood several times. Players who own Enchanted by Nature can get there by using Fairy Dust to teleport via the Starseed Teleporter - these teleporters allow Sims to easily access hidden worlds.

How to Catch a Treefish in The Sims 4

Players need at least Fishing Skill Level 2 to catch the Treefish in The Sims 4. If they haven't learned the Fishing Skill yet, they should be able to level up fairly quickly by testing out the waters at the fishing spots in Sylvan Glade. Once they reach Fishing Skill Level 2, any of their catches at Sylvan Glade can be a Treefish.

Bringing a less skilled Sim to attempt to catch a Treefish is actually better than a master angler. Since Treefish can be caught as early as Level 2, low-skilled Sims won't be able to catch the rarer fish in the pond, increasing their chances of finding a Treefish right away.
