📋 About This Mod
Animated Ridgeside Village Fish
Adds animations to the fish added by the Ridgeside Village mod by Rafseazz.
Installation
Make sure to have the latest versions of the required mods:
- Content Patcher
- SpaceCore
- and Ridgeside Village (and of course the mods required to run that)
Drop the mod into your Stardew Valley mods folder, load up the game. Enjoy :)
Config
There is a config.json in the mod folder where you can disable/enable each animation. Simply change "true" to "false", if you want to disable or reverse if you want to enable an animation.
You can also change the speed of the animation in the content.json file, change the "AnimationFrameTime": x, to however long you want the animation to be.
Run the game once to generate the config.json.
