Manual installation

Install BepInEx 5, then copy the package contents into the game directory so the included BepInEx folders merge with the existing ones.

Compatibility

• How to Fish 1.0.10
• BepInEx 5.4.23.5

Speedrun rules can differ between communities. Confirm the accepted timing method and split policy before submitting a leaderboard run.
