  • **Fishing mini game preview**: Real-time display of fish information about to be caught in the fishing mini game
  • **HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE**: Supports multiple display modes and custom settings
  • **Perfect Compatibility**: Designed to be compatible with other fishing related mods without changing any game mechanics

🎮Compatibility information

  • ✅ Supports single player, multiplayer and split-screen local co-op modes
  • ✅ Fully compatible with Fish Helper UI and can be used simultaneously

⚙️ Installation Guide

  • **Install SMAPI**: Download and install the latest version of SMAPI (requires version 3.10+)

🔧 Technical details

Use the Data\Fish + Fishing Simulation combination for optimal mod compatibility. This method simulates a fishing mini-game at configurable time intervals after obtaining general fish data. The higher the interval, the more accurate the information (more stable visual effects), but the greater the performance cost.

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)

  1. Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
  2. Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
  3. Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
  4. Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.

Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
