🤬PottyMouth
_A functional actually-usable Webfishing chat filter_
Wanting to comfortably communicate with your fishing pals _shouldn't_ come at the cost of
opening yourself up to hear anything from everybody online, or __having to try and awkwardly figure out what
your pals are chatting about because some regular unoffensive words are bizarrely being censored__???[^1]
This mod
aims to overhaul the mostly-broken and carelessly-thrown-together Kindergarten-grade stock filter!
Usage
After installing the mod you can simply (re-)enable the in-game swear filtering
in the settings, as usual. If you want to pause PottyMouth, just turn the setting back off. No special hotkeys or menus with this one.
PottyMouth works primarily by replacing the
_astonishingly ineffective_ default wordlist with a saner and more comprehensive alternative.
The mod also applies a few fixes/behavioral tweaks to the
swear_filter module which is, again, notoriously unusable and disruptive to communicating with your fishing pals.
Roadmap
- Wordlist refinement (please leave feedback!)
- circumvention prevention
- Multi-lingual support
- Severity customization
Known issues
- Certain words matching multiple times may obscure the
entire sentence unexpectedly
- This happens due to how the vanilla swear_filter works 🤷
- This should mostly never happen
Feedback

Changelog
[^1]: How can anyone have normal filtered conversations if everyday words like "girls", "pot", "Muslim" are being censored...?
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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. Most WEBFISHING mods need the GDWeave loader; the bundled readme explains where files go.
