📋 About This Mod

"After a hard week of farming, or a long night of being nagged by your wife, there is nothing better than going out for a bit of a fish." - A Guide to Fishing Tamriel

Lost inside the Soul Cairn, lies a Fishery. The Soul Cairn Fishery, maintained by the Xivkyn Hzu-Kebral, only serves as a way to torture the wandering spirits of the Soul Cairn. Imagine being incorporeal, and starving, but not being able to eat the corporeal fish that are swimming right in front of you? Except you, the Dragonborn, are not a soul, so allow yourself to have a feast, or just collect them?

Listen, I was bored, and I wanted to color some fish, so this is why this exists. It really is not a very serious mod. :D

  • []Where are the quests and how do I start them?

There are no quests, just fish.

  • []Is this mod voiced?

Yes! The Xivkyn was voiced by me, but he's not that important, what's important is the fish.

  • []Do I need the Anniversary edition for this mod?

You need to use Backported Extended ESL Support if you are not using the AE edition, but no Creation Club content is necessary.

  • The fish were taken from the free Creation Club "Fishing" creation, but the creation itself is not necessary to run this mod

    ⚠️ Cons

    • Only one new location, so don't expect a huge content drop
    🎯 Is This For You?
