Hi. I would like to ask if you can make this toggleable? If not, that's all good. It's your mod. I just felt like using this sometimes though I do get it's a cheat mod. Somedays you don't wanna wait for fish, somedays you wanna listen to your music..... maybe a bad example though.
I could. How would you like to toggle it? I also could implement the mod as part of the Cheat Console Commands mod, this way it would be possible to toggle it via a console command.
Sorry, just now saw your message. To be honest, I guess I should've thought about it more. I was just thinking more of a keybind toggle but not sure if the person pressing it would know if it was on or off. I should clarify I don't know what the process of modding this game is. Personally would like it to be just this mod as I don't need the other features but I guess I wouldn't need to toggle on the other features.
At this point, I should say it's a preference to not want to do console commands but if it's what is easy for you or what you want to do, I can do that.
Thank you for replying to me! (Side note: I did check the 'Cheat Console Commands' mod because I thought it would be in there but was surprised it wasn't.... I think. I didn't check closely.)
This mod functions correctly as intended. The fishing probability remains unchanged when not using bait, and it properly allows catching the correct fish at the appropriate locations or times. Additionally, my game save was created after the most recent update.
It's nice to hear that it works for you. I personally could replicate the problem that some people have with a new save. But I can't find any correlation what causes it in the first place to provide any solution for people who has a problem that the game refuses to give fish on hotspots without Baits, which it should at least after you hit lvl 3 in fishing.
I'm currently using an old version of this mod, from what I read it seems to have issues that I currently do not seem to have. Unsure what version I have but the folder itself was create 10 of October on my mods folder.
The old version does nothing different. And I don't know what even could cause the bug. For me it looks like developers did something, because it worked in earlier versions of the game. Also if you've installed the mod after you have fished already, the bug might not occur. I couldn't really reproduce it until I started a new save file.
An essential mod. A requirement for me to go fishing at all. Who needs a tremendous time sink in a game where you already have bi-weekly resets to plan around?
I've heard talk from other users only catching junk, but I don't have a problem with it. I catch both fish and junk just fine in what seem to be appropriate chances.
The problem seems to be that the game doesn't change the pool of fishes that you can possibly catch based on the fishing location, like it did in the past. And I'm unsure if it's a game bug or somehow mod related. But it happens for me even without the mod.
I actually wanted to know which fishing locations you used exactly so I can test better and if your Fishing Rod is bugged. And no, I have no idea what is the problem you have. It works perfectly fine for me at any location. All I can suggest is to throw away the Fishing Rod, make a new one, you can always use the "freecraft" command from Cheat Console Commands mod to make a new one. And if it doesn't help, delete the mod and try to fish without it. The mod has only impact on the Fishing Rod, if deleting the mod and using a new one doesn't help, then there is something wrong with your game/save.
EDIT: I found out how to reproduce, see Bugs reports.
do you have any idea why i cannot remove bait or switch bait at all using this mod? it always has the white bobber which cannot be removed via the bait menu and selecting other baits does nothing........
Are you sure it's from the mod? Fishing Rod was bugged after an update a while back. They fixed it, but the white "bait" stayed. On a fresh crafted Fishing Rod I don't have the issue and can use and remove the bait from it without problems.
yes im sure, as its the only one im using with the necessary others to make it work. i start a new world without the mod in the mods folder and the bait system works as intended.... i tried crafting new rods on the modded file as well as i thought it was because i was using the second rod not the basic one, but the problem persists.
For me Fishing Rods are generally bugged. If I disable the mod, make a new Fishing Rod and put a bait on it, for some reason I can't remove the Bait. So there is nothing what I can do about it. Report to Developers.
The only issue with the mod is that while you fish with it, you don't consume the Bait. So thanks to the game bugs that you can't remove the Bait, there is no way to get rid of it.
Attention The game has currently a bug that you can't remove Bait from the Fishing Rod by using "Unload Magazine"! Since the mod prevents you from consuming the Bait, there is basically no way to get rid of it until AF Developers fix the bug. You can't remove the Bait, but you can always switch to another one.
Workaround: Craft a new Fishing Rod and use it without baits and switch to another one if you want to use a bait.
rude much and sorry to tell you I can do both can you send my bins for you can see that, anyways does the mod require bait you don't touch on that really
No, it's not rude. In the world of DeepL and GPTs, it is disrespectful not to try to write a proper sentence. And "it doesn't work" doesn't help me at all to understand your problem. The game hasn't been updated in months, and all mods are tested for the current version of the game, and if they don't work for you, you're doing something wrong.

Yes this is more like a cheat, and yes I want to use a grav cube, jump into the air and sneak roll crazy fast.
2. The Cheat Console Commands has an Infinite Crouch Roll command.

Maybe bad luck?
Like how does your Fishing Rod looks like, do you use any Bait?
Where are you fishing?
And no, I have no idea what is the problem you have.
