About this mod Machine translation
Ever wanted to spend time fishing in Skyrim? Well, now you can!
Pick up a fishing rod you find in the world, or visit the blacksmith's forge to craft your own fish using 2x firewood and 1x iron ingot, grab some fishing bait (insects), find your favorite fishing spot, and start fishing!
Find some fish in a river, lake or pond. An easy way to find them is to look for dragonflies hovering above the water. Equip your newly crafted fishing rod (found among other items), add bait, and start fishing. After a few seconds, you'll be bitten and can roll into the line. Simple! The chance of finding gold is slim, and you get nothing.
You can use a variety of insects as bait, such as bees, dragonflies, and butterflies.
All existing active static fishing rods found in Skyrim (for example, at hunter camps on the shoreline) have been replaced with working fishing rods.
Bonus tip: There will be a little feather floating in the water after you set the line. After one bite, it'll be gone!
Recommended: Use Mod Manager or equivalent.
Manual: Extract the ESP and BSA files and place them in your Data folder.
Loading Order: Due to cell edits due to changing fishing rods, make sure Skyrim Fishing is loaded high in the order. For example, place "Fishing" on top of "Realistic Water" so that changes made by "Realistic Water" take effect.
Please always follow modding best practices when installing or updating this mod.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
