    VERSION 2.1.0a
    (12/01/2024)


    A new add-on for the Coelacanth mod by BirbWalker21 is available! Return to the aquarium and let this ancient animal bathe in your fishtanks. The add-on comes with its very own small quest and voiced dialogues.


    Head to the Aquarium to find three new quests: a man from Cyrodiil who wants to trade with the Aquarium, a weird creature from the Shivering Isles who you cannot understand and a mysterious person who wants to send fish from the Colored Rooms to the Aquarium.

    Small bugs were also fixed, like the disappearing fishtank in the Hall of the Waves.

    Hi, I have just downloaded this mod and I had run it in my game. However, as I walked south of Froki's Hut, the aquarium was not there at all. And I have already checked my version, it does contain the Ayleid Set (I presume is the Quest regarding "The Cause") . Is there anything that I can do? The only "Fishing" mod that I have is the Eli's Breezehome - Aquariuams Addon (Fishing CC).

    I adore The Dragonborn's Aquarium. That said, it needs to replace the "quests" of CC Fishing. While doing a start for my character, no Line and Lure in sight or read, I found an abandoned fishing shack in Eastmarch and took the fishing rod...

    Upon catching a fish, I got Angler Acquiantences in my phiz. Look, CC Fishing is obviously a case of CC content. The thing is that much of if not most of that was shoehorned into place very badly.  CC Fishing needs an overhaul as badly as Saints and Seducers did! Canceling the CC Quest alerts and replacing it with notices in the cities and towns announcing The Dragonborn's Aquarium (No Courier, thank you very much!) would go a long way to making CC Fishing make a lick of sense.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                                                              ANGLER ACQUAINTENCES (Acquaintances)

    To Become more skilled at fishing, I should visit the Riften Fishery and speak to those that (who) work there. In particular, Viriya and Swims-In-Deep-Water are rumored to be highly knowledgeable.

    <-Visit the Riften Fishery
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Catching a fish in frigging Eastmarch provides exactly NO context for any of that cess. This is usually where I get bitched at for how great it is Fishing's there at all. I do like fishing. I HATE unasked-for hassles forced and shoehorned in at the expense of common sense.

    I hated it in the bad old days before The Choice Is Yours and At Your Own Pace when saying no had the quests forced on you anyway.

    I hate it with Jaree-Ra.

    I hate it with Hole In The Wall in Fallout 4.

    I hate it with the AE and iwll always hate it, this I vow.

    I beg all involved, can the Fishing Bilge to replace it with The Dragonbor's Aquarium and a sensible implementation!

    I am posting this in the comments for the mod itself and as a topic in Mod Ideas. Strike a blow for common sense and actual context.
    Screw Shoehorning. Screwthe lack of context. Screw Todd.

    This is my testament!

      i agree i really like the idea of this. i use to play the mii DS game where Youd fish in different areas and islands and even catch mythical creatures to display. id love to have a system like that with even more included mods with water life. you bet your sweet bippy id fish the heck out of every body of water in Skyrim to collect all creatures!

    This is crucial realm... especially as I am sick to death of my cellars getting messed up and am using Heartfire No Aquariums!

    Hello, do you intend to update this mod so that the fish swim around their tanks? Kinda weird seeing em static with a swimming animation.

    I just entered the beautiful aquarium for the first time. Amazing Work!!
    I miss one thing however: Would it be possible to add plaques explaining about the fish (like LOTD Hall of Natural Science).

    The walls of the middle tank in the "Hall of Waves" are invisible for me. Are there any known conflicts that might cause this?

      Not that I know of. Do you have any mods modying the original CC Fishing aquariums? Maybe that could have had an impact on my mod.

      I have this issue, too! I even put the mod at the very bottom of the load order to override any conflicts. I have no other mods that alter fishing.

      Same! The tank for the mudcrabs is completely invisible except for the waves textures at the top somewhere.
      My char also goes into swimming mode/animations when being too close to the tank (but swimming literally against an invisible wall)

      No cc fishing related mods bar the unofficial cc patch by proxy, and the voice overhaul. But that's just voice lines.

      I've finally figured what the problem was, it should be fixed in the new version :D

    Dear friend, for what purpose does your mod add a playable Nordic race of considerably tall stature to the game? It seems that I missed it in the description

      Oh, I know where that comes from. It will be fixed in the next patch. Thanks for telling me!
