Fish Types Caught 97%, but has caught everything

[Leto85]

As the title said; my sim has caught every fish from the basegame and all the expansions while knowing every single bait for every single fish and still the description sticks with Fish Types Caught: 97%.
Anyone know how to fix this?

And you've caught the three new starfish and figured out their bait?  If so, what are the baits?  I know the starfish to be caught are the Star Bat Starfish, Linckia Starfish and Ninja Starfish.

Wait, what? There are three types of star fishes? I've bought 10 of them from the store, stocked them in a pond and go fishing. It was the tofu that the swimming stars seem to prever.

My cat has caught all three of them that's how I know how many there are.  The Ninja Star ones seem to be the most rare.  He only started getting those about the time that he was getting deathfish too.

Interesting! Do you know any particular spot I could look for? My recent file is in the new town added with Showtime. I've tried to spot all the fishing spots but could be I've overlooked something.

I have only found these by cat fishing so I have no idea.  I haven't done a lot in the new town because I had to restart my immortal dynasty.   Is there a possibility that these starfish are available in open water like the Bridgeport fish were?

Edit:  The actual names are Sea Bat Starfish, Linckia Starfish and Ninja Starfish.

You know that could actually make the difference between 97% and the full 100: 3 types of star fishes.
I can not answer your question however.

Leto, a Collection Helper would be able to tell you where all the fishing spots are.

Of... course... Why didn't I think of that myself? That's what I need indeed: a collection helper.
Now just have to save up a ton of Lifetime Happines points as those things are freaking expensive.

[Ricalynn]

Or use the cheat to give yourself the happiness points to get it in another file so you know where to go. 

[Pam]

Yeah, if it's not a challenge file or anything, use the cheat to get the happiness points for the Collection Helper.

[Leto85]

I know, I know. But I'm not that find of cheating.
Besides that: the Lifetime Happiness Points cheat never have seem to work for me.

You have to make sure that you put "testingcheatsenabled true" on before you enter the game.  So you go to main menu - enter that code and then choose your game and load it up.   Then once you're in the game, you hold down control and start clicking between the treasure chest and the numerals.  It may take a few clicks to find it and it will raise the cheat up by 500 with each click on the right spot.

I think the spot on mine is directly under the treasure chest.  And I think you meant it will raise the happiness points by 500 with each click.

Okey, now I've caught really all the fishes: including the three star fishes, but the percentages now stands at 103%. Bugged once again?
I don't know the bait for two of the fishes. There seem not to be a book about it either.
