Baited - A Fishing Artifact Overhaul
Baited aims to overhaul the 10 Unique Artifacts by CC Fishing to make them more interesting and balanced.
Items from the Museum of Artifacts in Mournhold have mysteriously begun showing up in the watery depths of Skyrim.
Fang of Haynekhtnamet: Deals 30 Shock damage to Health and Magicka. Has a 50% chance to deal double Shock damage to Health and Magicka.
Denstagmer's Ring: Your Fire, Frost, and Shock Resistance are increased by 25%.
Mentor's Ring: Your Magicka is increased by 100.
Ring of Khajiit: You are 25% better at sneaking, lockpicking, and pickpocketing.

Viriya's Charm: Your Movement Speed is increased by 10% and you can breathe underwater.
Warlock's Ring: Your Restoration spells are 25% stronger and your ward spells resist 50% of incoming weapon damage.
Compatibility
I recommend using this mod alongside mods that work to redistribute the acquisition of the artifacts added by Fishing.
Compatible with Fishing - Reduced Cut, CC Fishing - No Artifacts from Fishing, and Fishing Reduced Cut-No Artifacts from Fishing.
Patchless compatibility with Thaumaturgy.
Should be compatible with all enchanting overhauls besides those previously mentioned. (e.g. Summermyst)
Potentially compatible with Legacy of the Dragonborn depending on how their CC Fishing patch is handled.
Load after other mods that edit CC items, like Creation Club - Adjustments Rebalancing and Variants and Reliquary of Myth.
SimonMagus and Ooreeoo for inspiration on the enchantments and effects.
Baited overhauls the 10 Unique Artifacts from the CC Fishing DLC, making them more interesting and balanced. With 273 endorsements and over 100k downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking improved fishing gear.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 273 endorsements
- Over 100k downloads shows real demand
- Directly improves underused CC content
⚠️ Cons
- Only touches the 10 artifacts—if you wanted new fishing gear, this isn't it
- Balance changes might not match your personal playstyle
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter the same artifacts
For Skyrim players who use the Creation Club Fishing DLC and want those artifacts to feel more rewarding. If you're into fishing or collecting unique gear, this is a must-try. Skip if you don't use the Fishing DLC or prefer new content over tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you own the Fishing Creation Club content, or the mod won't have anything to change.
- Load this mod after other mods that touch the same artifacts to ensure its changes apply.
- Check the mod page for any patches if you use popular artifact overhauls.
