📋 About This Mod
Playing with unpaused menus there is a problem with the fish tanks not properly updating the number of fish swimming inside when adding or removing fish. You would always have to open and close the container menu a second time for the correct number and types of fish to appear. With this patch whenever you close the container menu the correct fish are added inside the tank.
Only the fixed script file, no esp. Safe to install/uninstall mid save.
Requirements:
Skyrim Souls RE - Updated - while technically not a mandatory requirement as the altered script works fine without it, this patch is unnecessary if not playing with unpaused menus
Compatiblity:
Incompatible with other mods that edit ccBGSSSE001_FishTankContainerScript.

This patch fixes fish tanks in Skyrim's Fishing creation club content so fish properly swim when the container menu is unpaused. It's a small, targeted fix for players using unpaused menu mods. With 77 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but useful compatibility patch.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a specific annoyance for players who use unpaused menus.
- Small and focused—doesn't touch anything else.
- Recent update (September 2024) shows it's maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you use unpaused menu mods—otherwise it does nothing.
- Low endorsement count (77) means it's not widely tested.
- Compatibility with other fishing-related mods is unverified.
For Skyrim players who use mods that unpause menus and want their fish tanks to look alive. Skip if you play with vanilla paused menus or don't care about fish tank visuals.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Fishing creation club content installed, as this patch modifies its fish tanks.
- Place this patch after your unpaused menu mod in your load order to ensure it applies correctly.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
