About this mod Author’s original text

True First Person

Look down and see your own body — chest, arms, legs and feet — instead of two floating hands.

It uses the game's own character and its own procedural animation. No new models, no new animations.

Features

  • Your body is visible, wearing the outfit you picked in the character menu
  • Real arms, so the hands stop stretching
  • Your head is hidden from your camera but still casts a shadow, hat included
  • Works at the boat wheel
  • No duplicate body when you die

Install

Needs BepInEx 5.4.23+ (x64, Mono). Drop the plugin here:

How to Fish/BepInEx/plugins/HowToFish.TrueFirstPerson/HowToFish.TrueFirstPerson.dll

Mod managers handle this for you.

Multiplayer

Only you need it. Nothing is sent over the network, so you can join any lobby.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/com.zpaulin.howtofish.truefirstperson.cfg, created on first run. Edit it with the game closed.

Commands

/tfp status · /tfp on · /tfp off · /tfp reload · /tfp dump

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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:

BepInEx-BepInExPack
