About this project
What does FishingPlus add?
From the author of SmithingPlus, FishingPlus means to introduce some fishing QoL tweaks to the game!
Since fishing is pretty barebones at the moment, we start light with just a single feature and a few more to come.
Features
- Automatic bait reload: when fishing, fishing poles will automatically select bait from the inventory on cast. They will prefer the last used bait. Change config value AllowFishAsAutoBait to choose whether dead fish that qualifies as bait can also be selected (default is false).
- Bait selection tool modes: Can select and swap bait from the inventory by pressing F while holding a fishing pole.
Mod screenshots available at a later date.
