⚠️Known limitations

The How to Fish Cheat Menu (IMGUI interface) in the upper left corner has not been Chineseized yet.

Reason: All runtime IMGUI patch solutions (GUILayout / GUIContent / Transpiler) will cause the game to freeze or crash when shooting, and have been disabled to ensure game stability.

🗑️ Uninstall method

Just delete the following files:

Game Directory\BepInEx\plugins\HowToFish_ChinesePatch.dll

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
