Changelogs
Version 2.0.5
This update is connected to 2.0.4 as there were technical difficulties getting that one to upload to Nexus. But this update fixes the Pufferfish and Blobfish from still having movement with the 99% settings. They now act like the rest of the fish when this setting is enabled. Version 2.0.4: Changed the time period when legendary fish can be caught. Originally most legendary fish can be caught from 6am to 8pm. This is what it is on the original files. The Wiki states all legendary fish can be caught at all times of day, which was wrong. I went and changed all the settings so all legendary fish can be caught from 6am to 2am.
Version 2.0.3
An important note about this update: There willno longer be individual settings for download for Fishing Made Easy Suite. Instead, all the settings will be bundled using the original ‘Complete Suite’ setting. Which will now be renamed to just “Fishing Made Easy Suite.” The reason being was there were too many settings to update and put out over time. When I first created the mod, I didn’t think I would get addicted in creating multiple unique settings. When it first released, there were only 4 settings. Now…there’s 35. I hope you all understand as it will make my life easier in the long run and will be easier for you to just enable the setting that you want! All the settings and their functions will be included on the main mod page as well as the config.json file (Named by Setting 1 through 35). You’ll need to open the config.json file to enable the settings you want to use with a text editor (Notepad). Simply change one setting from “false” to “true”. Only one setting can be enabled at a time! Now for the update itself:New settings were added that will reduce thespawn rate of legendary fish. All legendary fish will have the same spawn rate.I have updated the original spawn rates for the originalrecatchable legendaries settings (Settings 6-11 and 24-29). They will all have the same spawn rate as the original Crimsonfish. Mutant Carp has has its spawn rate adjusted to not spawn as often. What does this mean? It means that now Glacierfish, for example, will have a higher chance of showing up in the Winter since it had the lowest spawn rate of all the legendary fish! If there’s any feedback I can get from all these changes, let me know!
Version 2.0.2
Legendary fish were not recatchable with the Fishing Made Legendary settings. This has been fixed! The Legend 'legendary fish' was still using the SDV 1.3 data and was still recatchable with the Accessible settings. This has been corrected and Legend is no longer recatchable in those settings to match the 1.4 data. A minor issue with location data of the fish was corrected in all Accessible, Recatchable Legendaries, and Legendary settings. A minor bug that was using incorrect values for a couple fish was fixed in all settings.
Version 2.0.1
Fixed Midnight Carp missing from the Recatchable Legendaries settings. A minor error was fixed in all settings.
Version 2.0.0
Compatibility for Stardew Valley Version 1.4. Two new fish were added and modified for all of the settings. Changed and updated formats for some data strings.
Version 1.0.5a
Removed duplicate mod folder (saving one click!). One setting was already enabled by default. Now is disabled.
Version 1.0.5
Created a new COMPLETE version of the mod that includes all the settings from the mod (Easy, Accessible, Recatchable Legendaries, Legendary, Harder versions). Configurable by a config.json file in the mods folder. All individual settings have been changed to reflect the changes made from this new addition.
Version 1.0.4
Credit to Obliviongamer91 for discovering an issue with installing the mod via the Vortex app. Issue has been corrected. If you have issues installing this version, completely delete the old version of the mod first.
Version 1.0.3
Corrected minimum API version to match the newest versions of SMAPI and Content Patcher. Fixed a small false value showing incorrectly.
Version 1.0.2
Fixed a couple values not correct for a couple of fish. Changed file type from RAR to ZIP. Was possibly causing a false password encryption.
Version 1.0.1
Added Update Checker for SMAPI. Will notify you if a newer version is available. (If manually downloaded, you will either have to remove the old version or replace the contents.)
Version 1.0.0
Compatible with Stardew Valley Version 1.3.36

Q: Why do I need the Content Patcher mod to get Fishing Made Easy to work?
A: With the recent versions of SMAPI, you cannot install the xnb files that some mods, including this one, uses in the mods folder anymore and expect it to work without Content Patcher. It won't hurt the game, the game just won't load the mod. The bandaid solution to that was actually replacing the original files with the modded files. Which can cause problems for future Stardew Valley content updates that can change the behavior of those files. Content Patcher however, allows you to make changes to certain elements in the game without actually replacing or removing the original file. After you install Content Patcher, you're free to install any mods in the Stardew Valley/Mods folder once again without any real changes to the original files. So with Content Patcher, if you decide to delete Fishing Made Easy, the original difficulty and settings will go back to their default settings.
Q: I'm getting less fishing xp with the mod enabled...why's that?
A: This may seem worrisome, but don't worry! With calculations with the hard coded formula used to figure out fishing xp, you'll still get a good amount of xp in a good amount of time. It could be a little slower or a little faster than not having the mod installed.
Q: Is there a way to completely skip the fishing mini game and still use the Fishing Made Easy Suite settings like recatching legendary fish?
A: Yes! There are mods out there that will skip the fishing mini game, but some are NOT compatible. The one that does work really well is CJB Cheats Menu. Open the CJB Cheats Menu mod with 'P' on your keyboard, go to the Farm and Fishing tab, then enable the Instant Catch option. That will skip the fishing mini game completely but still take advantage of the Fishing Made Easy Suite settings.
Q: Is this mod compatible or not compatible with other fishing mods?
A: Check the Mod Compatibility section to see if the mod in question is compatible. If a mod isn't listed, let me know!
Q. Does this mod work on Android devices?
A: Yes! Tested as of 05/02/2020, this mod will work in full on any android device. You will still need to open the config.json file to enable the setting you want.
Q: You used to have multiple settings to download...where did they go?
A: Yes! There used to be multiple settings to download but have been removed as of update 2.0.3. This is because there were too many settings for me update and I just don't have the time in the day to update every single setting when I can just update one individual setting, saving myself valuable time. So the old Complete Suite has been renamed to just Fishing Made Easy Suite has all the old and new settings like before but you'll need to edit the config.json file with a text editor (Notepad) to enable the setting you want.
Q: Will Fishing Made Easy work with other languages (German, French, Spanish, etc) of the game?
A: Yes it will! The Content Patcher mod that is required to make Fishing Made Easy work makes this possible. :)
Q: Is there any way to contact you if I need help with Fishing Made Easy Suite?
A: Yes! You can direct message me here on Nexus or on my Twitter @Shininglegacy21
Also feel free to chat anything Stardew Valley with me! Love talking about the game with other people :)
