📋 About This Mod
Have you ever found it utterly annoying how you must either stow the large fish on horseback or cook them directly after catching them? I have because it's completely unrealistic when you can throw small/medium fish in your satchel or skin an animal. So, I added a fish gutting mechanism which makes big fish fishing a bit more enjoyable.
Update:
-
[]Version 1. 0. 1 now includes Fisherman.ini file to enable or disable the gutting of large legendary fish. By default, it is disabled. If you want want this enabled then edit Fisherman.ini before you start the game and set LegendaryFishEnabled=1
- [
Usage:
-
[]Once installed, simply click "Gut" prompt after picking a large fish up. Once clicked, an "Animscene" will begin. After that you will have the corresponding fish meat now in your satchel's provisions with a bloody skeleton of said fish by your feet. When you want to cook it you can cook it just like any other fish.
Notes:
- [
[]There might be some clipping with the player and the fish also may appear a little in front or behind during the animation. It's not perfect but I tried to make it as native working/looking as possible. This is just a personal mod I've decided to release because I've been happy with it so hopefully others will as well. I may clean it up more in the future. Also if you encounter a bug then please make a bug report.
Installation:
-
[]Requires Scripthook. Unzip the file then copy and paste Fisherman.asi into your game's root directory.
