About

Eidee Easy Fishing lets you customize almost every part of fishing, from casting and waiting for a bite to the minigame, treasure, and the final catch.

Use only the features you want. You can make fishing slightly easier, remove specific steps, or automate most of the process. Every feature can be enabled or disabled individually, and the entire mod can be toggled during gameplay.

New in v1. 4. 0

  • []Fishing-bubble help — Aim eligible manual casts at fishing bubbles, optionally widen the sideways steering limit, and show a visual marker that tells you whether a cast can be assisted.[/]

    []Repeat fishing automatically — After one manual cast, advance the catch display and cast again until you stop, a safety condition is reached, or your chosen stop time arrives.[/]

    []Collect fishing rewards automatically — Move treasure and catch-menu items into your inventory when they fit, while leaving anything that does not fit for you to manage.[/]

    What You Can Do

    • []Spend less time waiting — Get an immediate bite, automatically hook fish, always cast at maximum power, or keep recasting after one manual cast.[/]

      []Reach fishing bubbles — Steer a reachable manual cast onto bubbles and use an optional marker to see whether the assist can reach them.[/]

      []Make the minigame easier — Slow fish movement, improve the capture progress bar, make fish or treasure easier to catch, and reveal the hooked fish.[/]

      []Skip the minigame entirely — Catch fish automatically with a perfect catch.[/]

      []Improve your catches — Always catch maximum-quality or maximum-size fish, guarantee double catches with Wild Bait, or enable double catches with any bait.[/]

      []Control treasure — Guarantee a chest, make it easier to collect, turn every chest golden, or automatically move fishing rewards into your inventory when they fit.[/]

      []Expand the available fish — Catch fish regardless of season or location, as if using Magic Bait.[/]

      []Find rare fish more often — Apply the fish-selection effect of a Curiosity Lure.[/]

      Multiplayer note: "Fish Appear Regardless of Season" and "Higher Chance for Rare Fish" are disabled in multip
