Fish With Fishing Poles Expansion

Fish With Fishing Poles (by RacerPlume/Ian)

Skill Exposer / Expansion v2. 1

Fish With Fishing Poles: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47230

Merlord's Skills Module: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46034

This is a small ESP file that loads AFTER RacerPlume's Fishing.esp, and a MWSE script that together, aim to make Pole Fishing more useful as a source of food for Ashfall. This Expansion also makes the Pole Fishing skill visible, and ties it to Endurance, which should make leveling that stat easier (same as Survival skill in Ashfall). You obviously need the original Fish With Fishing Poles mod, as this here only expands on it.

Everything in this package is optional, but you do need Merlord's Skill Module installed if you want to see the Pole Fishing skill in the Other Skills section of your character. And if the ONLY thing you want, is to see your Pole Fishing skill, then simply do not load the Fishing-Expansion.esp module.

If all you want is to display your skill then all you'll want out of this Expansion is the Skills module (i.e. do NOT load the Fishing-Expansion.esp). Please also see RacerPlume's other Survival/Crafting mods: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/users/64066421?tab=user+files

Changes made when Merlord's Skill module is installed and when you also load Fishing-Expansion.esp ->

• []Increased chance to catch fish (+ 10%).

  []Pole Fishing skill is visible and tied to Endurance.

  []You freeze for 3 seconds instead of 4 when you cast your line.

  []Will tell you are out of bait when you run out instead of next time you cast.

  []When you run out of bait the vendors will re-stock.

  NOTE that if you already have a Fishing Pole and a Bait Bucket, the vendors will not restock those items,

  but they will restock bait if they were out. If you are out a bucket (you probably have a pole since you just

  ran out of bait) then they'll restock a bait bucket too.

  You still have the same chance to catch fish (or cool items) as before (+10%) but when you do catch fish,

  what you catch depends on what you have in your load order:

  (1) Morrowind Only (including OpenMW) or OAAB-DATA Only

  • []55% will be Crab Meat (you need food and this is the only base game one)

    []60% of the rest will be Small Slaughterfish (i.e. Fish Scales)

    []40% of the rest will be Large Slaughterfish

    (2) Tamriel-Data (with or without OAAB-DATA)

    • []15% will be Slaughterfish (60/40 Small/Large) and with OAAB some Fish Fillets

      []70% will be Common Fishes or Crab Meat (1/6 chance each)

    • 15% will be one of 3 Rare Fishes (33/33/33)

      All fish you catch come with Fish Scales.
