📋 About This Mod
This mod shows fish that are currently catchable in the water. Works with modded locations + fish!
It only adds the currently catchable fish visually, there is no gameplay change regarding fishing.
Also, it uses fish tank sprites, so sadly you will only see fish that have these.
- Ridgeside Village, More New FIsh and Stardew Valley Expanded have sprites for all their fish.
There are some config options to set how many fishes should be shown so you can tune it for your computer :)
Theres also options for other stuff, most should be self-explanatory.
Screenshots taken with SVE installed.
Just to make it clear: All art is not by me, it's from the base game and or from other modders added via their mods, I just display it :)
Big thanks to all modders who include fish tank sprites for their fish <3
