Version 3.0.23
Fixed a coding issue with the Prismatic Shards options. Specifically when using the setting as a standalone without using the All Seasons setting. It was causing the Forest area to spawn Spring fish all year long preventing other seasonal fish from spawning correctly.
Version 3.0.22
Fixed and corrected all Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) settings that involved the Razor Trout and Kittyfish from potentially not spawning for the Fishable Farm Pond settings. The Generic Mod Config Menu version (Version 2) of Fishing Made Easy Suite has been updated to not include a default config file. So now when you update the GMCM version of Fishing Made Easy Suite, your settings will not be lost if you decide to copy/paste over the mod's data when updating. This is only for the GMCM version of Fishing Made Easy Suite. If you're using the standard version (Version 1) of Fishing Made Easy Suite, you'll still need to reapply your settings through the config file when updating!
Version 3.0.21
Added the three new fish introduced in Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) Version 1.13.7! All settings have been updated to include these fish. Fixed an error for the Generic Mod Config Menu version of Fishing Made Easy Suite that prevented settings from working properly when paired with All Seasons, Prismatic Shards, and the Fishable Farm Pond settings.
Version 3.0.20
Skipped due to Nexus upload error.
Version 3.0.19
Added some changes for the SVE settings that removes clownfish from the beach areas. They are only present in the Ginger Island areas as of SVE Version 1.13.4. Added a new optional download that gives Fishing Made Easy Suite full support for the Generic Mod Config Menu. Generic Mod Config Menu will allow you to enable a mod's settings while in game! Fishing Made Easy Suite is already supported but the text for the settings were going out of bounds and it was hard to read. This download fixes that and adds the descriptions when you hover your cursor over the settings. To enable settings after downloading the Generic Mod Config Menu mod, there will be a cog wheel that will appear on the Stardew Valley title screen. This is a completely separate download and can be found on FMES's main page or the files tab!
Version 3.0.18
Added three new difficulty settings! There's now a 35%, 60%, and 85% easy fishing option. This should help those that want a few more options if the current ones weren't exactly what they wanted. Along with these new additions, I have redone the Difficulty settings and they are now calculated by a small mathematical formula to be more accurate when using them. Added a new category called Fish Sell Value! There are ten new settings included that will adjust how much fish sell for. This includes all fish. If you are using the Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) setting of this, it currently will NOT work with SVE fish due to restrictions with Content Patcher and Json Assets. I made a separation just so people that use the SVE settings will see those same options. Added a missing TimeChange value for the Kittyfish of the Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) mod settings. This allows settings that affect the Kittyfish to become active when you start a new day after seeing the event to unlock the Kittyfish. Lastly with this update, I have adjusted the look of some of the settings in the config file. It should be more clear on which settings you should only enable one setting. I have also added a (MANDATORY) tag next to the "Prismatic Shards are now Fishable. (All Locations)". To let people know that this one is required in order for the rest of the Prismatic Shard settings to work. If there's any issues, please report back to me :)
Version 3.0.17
Fixed an issue with the "Prismatic Shards are now Much More Rare When Fishing" setting. The setting wasn't being properly activated due to some improper coding (my fault!). But all should be working now :)
Version 3.0.16
Added some missing information on patch data for the Razor Trout and Kittyfish for some of the Stardew Valley Expanded settings. Fixed an issue with one of the SVE Prismatic Shard settings.
Version 3.0.15
This update adds full compatibility support for the Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) mod! Settings for SVE support are at the bottom of the config file tagged with (SVE) by the settings names. Only use these settings if you're using Stardew Valley Expanded! I know many of you have asked for compatibility for SVE for a while and apologize for the wait and I thank you very much for the patience :) This has been a large project for me to get working for a while so I hope everyone will be happy about this update :D If you encounter any issues or bugs with a setting or mix of settings, please report back to me!
Version 3.0.14
Added three new farm pond settings! Added individual settings for having just Specialty and Legendary fish available for the farm pond. As well as a setting that mixes the two together. Removed some unneeded criteria for the spawn rates setting when mixing together some farm pond settings.
Version 3.0.13
Updated the configuration file so it separates settings by category. Will be a little easier to find the setting you are looking for! With this update, some settings were reworded and rearranged.
Version 3.0.12
It was heavily requested to make Prismatic Shards more rare with the fishable Prismatic Shards setting. I have added five new settings that will do just that! One settings will lower the Prismatic Shards spawn rates when fishing, the next setting will limit fishing Prismatic Shards only during rainy weather, and the final settings will add three custom time durations when Prismatic Shards will be available to fish. You can mix all the time periods together as well! With this update I have reformatted and reworded some of the settings to make them easier to understand. As well as restructured some of the code. This includes the Recatchable Legendary Fish settings. There is no longer two separate settings for Normal Spawn Rates and Rare Spawn Rates of Legendary Fish if you wanted them to be recatchable. Now the Recatchable Legendary Fish and the Rare Spawn Rates settings can be enabled separately!
Version 3.0.11
Added five new settings that affect the Seafoam Pudding cooking recipe! This recipe is the best one in the game for your fishing skill. It ideally increases your fishing level by 4. One of the new settings will allow the recipe to be obtained at Level 1 Fishing down from Level 9 Fishing originally. The other four settings will change the ingredients required to make the recipe. Which will make Seafoam Pudding only require 1, 5, 10, or 25 of any fish to cook! That includes a mix of fish, not just of a single type.
Version 3.0.10
Added three new Farm Pond settings! Alongside the seasonal fish, the new settings allow you to catch Specialty and Legendary fish as well. If you use the "All Fish Share the same Spawn Rates" setting alongside one of the new settings that makes Specialty fish fishable in the farm pond, the mine fish WILL have equal spawn rates, but in turn will become harder to catch in the actual mines. Originally discovered in the 3.0.9 update.
Version 3.0.9
Added five new settings that affect rare items spawning from fish in Fish Ponds! Included are 2X, 3X, 4X, and 5X increased spawn rates of rare items from fish ponds. Then there's a fifth option that gives all rare items the same spawn rate of 50%. The 50% chance setting will not work with the other four! Also in this update, I have reverted all mine fish back to their default spawn rates with the setting, "All Fish Share the Same Spawn Rates." There was a bug discovered that prevents Ice Pip and Lava Eel from spawning properly. Even with adjusting the spawn rates, it actually made those fish rarer to catch.
Version 3.0.8
Fixed a potential issue with conditions that only used the Seasons settings.
Version 3.0.7
Added two new settings! The first one will make all fish have the same spawn rates. This was implemented before with the seasons setting but I decided to separate them incase people wanted the original spawn rates with the seasonal setting. In turn, this new setting will also work for Legendary fish and Specialty fish (mine, desert, secret woods fish, etc). The only exception is the Lava Eel. The Level 100 fishable area is hardcoded to spawn a lot of trash so it will still make fishing the Lava Eel a pain :( But you can fish the Lava Eel in the new Volcano Dungeon as well. The second setting allows you to fish all seasonal fish in your Farm Pond! This was a feature I wanted to implement for a long while and finally got around to it with the new changes I made to the mod. How it works is, when it's Summer for example, you'll be able to fish a Pufferfish, Tuna, Super Cucumber, etc in your Farm Pond! Times and weather are also a factor and the settings that affect time, seasons, and weather will work! The only fish you will not obtain in your pond is the Specialty and Legendary fish! If you find any issues or anything strange with a settings or mix of settings, please report back to me :)
Version 3.0.6
Fixed an issue where the legendary fish, Glacierfish, was spawning in the forest pond which also resulted it spawning in the Forest Farm map if using the Recatchable Legendary fish settings. Glacierfish will now only spawn in the Forest River if using the Recatachle Legendary fish settings. Fixed missing spawn data for the Legendary Fish are Recatchable with Reduced Spawn Rates setting if a Seasons or Prismatic Shard setting were not enabled. The spawn rates should now properly be 'rare' as it was using normal spawn rate data before. Also renamed the Legendary Fish are Recatchable and Legendary Fish are Recatchable with Reduced Spawn Rates settings to: Legendary Fish are Recatchable (Normal Spawn Rates) and Legendary Fish are Recatchable (Rare Spawn Rates). Should be easier to understand for those that misunderstood both of those settings before.
Version 3.0.5
Want to fish Prismatic Shards? Well now you can! This update comes with a new setting to fish up Prismatic Shards! At level 5 fishing, you can start seeing the shards show up while you are fishing. They are no joke! They are quick and may just get away from you. They can be fished at all times, seasons, weather, and can be found in almost any area that has a water source. All settings currently available will work alongside the Prismatic Shards option! Also included in this update, I have cleaned up lingering coding that may have caused some settings to not work with each other. All settings should now properly work with all possibilities.
Version 3.0.4
This update is a complete mod revamp! Instead of configuring one of 143 settings, you can now mix together just 10 settings with all the capabilities of the 143 settings! I have took what I learned the last couple years with all the updates to carefully implement all the changes and quality of life updates to this one single update. I apologize the mod wasn't like this before as I have been slowly learning the ins and outs of coding the last couple years. This should hopefully ease a lot of people's minds seeing a shortened settings list and an easier way to enable the settings you want on the fly! If you encounter any issues, please report it to me!
Version 3.0.3
Happy New Year!! For this update, I have rebalanced all fish spawn rates for settings that affect seasons. Fish that were rarer to catch than others should now spawn more often. All fish (except Legendaries) will have close to the same spawn rates for these settings with some small differences. This is to ensure certain fish are not almost impossible to catch with a bigger pool of fish to fish from in each area. Adjusted the spawn rates of the Angler and Glacier fish for the reduced spawn rate settings so they will appear less often. Reverted the spawn rates of the five new legendary fish introduced in Stardew Valley version 1.5 back for settings that reduced legendary spawn rates. This is because these fish only appear from a repeatable quest that you need to complete in three days. Trying to catch these fish with these settings enabled would have almost made completing this quest impossible.
Version 3.0.2
Fixed an issue with Setting #137 using a non existent data file.
Version 3.0.1
With a new programming tool, this update fixes every error for every setting. Even some small errors from all the way back in Version 1.0.0! Some fixes include: Seaweed, Green Algae, and White Algae may not have been present in some areas while using the 99% easy settings. Fixed some fish not having the right time tables for settings that affect time. Fixed a couple fish most likely not showing up during any weather settings. There were some other small tweaks included in this update.
Version 3.0.0
Compatible with Stardew Valley version 1.5. Added new fish to all settings. Gave all legendary fish, except Angler and Glacier Fish equal spawn chances with settings that affect seasons. Angler and Glacier fish have had their spawn rates readjusted for settings that affect seasons since they were spawning less often than the other legendary fish. Changed all legendary fish's spawn rates back to their normal values for settings that don't affect seasons. Happy Fishing!!
Version 2.0.7
This release is a giant update! Released a multitude of settings that individualizes and mixes the Time, Season, and Weather options. So if you want to eliminate just the weather requirement for some fish, you can now do so so it doesn't affect Time or Seasons, etc. This has made the settings count now a whopping 143. So I have went ahead and reorganized the coding and structure of the configuration file so it's now sorted by difficulty first rather than certain 'types'. Old settings will now be a different number on the config.json file. It is recommended to completely remove any old version of Fishing Made Easy Suite before using the latest version! Reminder: You can reset the config.json file by deleting it, loading the game, and it will create a new config.json file with all settings set as 'false' by default.
Version 2.0.6
Readjusted the reduced legendary spawn rates (Settings 12-17 and 30-35). With some feedback and my own experiences, the spawn rates were not matching up to the rarity those settings were intended to make legendary fish spawn. They were still appearing very frequently. All legendary fish should now appear less often for those settings. There were also some incorrect values for legendary fish for four settings that have been corrected. Any additional feedback would be helpful! Thanks again to all those that helped with the original feedback!
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 2.0.4

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

This mod was inspired by Teh's Fishing Overhaul's system of displaying fish! Works very well in succession with all of Fishing Made Easy Suite's settings!
Animated Fish Adds animations for the the fish in Stardew Valley!
FishMe This mod skips the fishing mini game. The easy settings of course won't matter, but all settings that make legendaries recatchable as well as settings that affect time, seasons, and weather will still work with this mod.
CJB Cheats Menu Instant Bite and Catch options fully compatible with all settings.
Extra Fish Information This mod gives detailed information about each fish you can catch.
Easy Fish Pond Gives options to maximize fish in fish ponds! Will work fully with the Fish Pond (Farm Building) options.
Partially Compatible
Teh's Fishing Overhaul This mod overhauls fishing completely with new features. Will only work with the Easy, Time, and Weather settings of Fishing Made Easy Suite. Any settings that affect Seasons and Recatchable Legendaries will not work.
More New Fish Adds new fish to the game. Will work alongside Fishing Made Easy Suite but will only affect the original vanilla fish. Not fish from More New Fish. Settings that affect difficulty seems to be the only options that will probably affect the vanilla fish if using this mod. Any settings that affect Time, Seasons, and Weather will not work alongside this mod as well.
Night Owl Let's you stay up for a full 24 hours without collapsing. You will need to edit the config file for Night Owl and change 'UseInternalNightFishAssetEditor" to 'False'. This will unfortunately disable fishing from 2am to 6am but there's no way around that.

Q: I came from the Easy Fishing v2.0 mod to this one and I'm getting errors in SMAPI saying I'm missing data...?
A: If this happens you need to revalidate your Stardew Valley installation files. To do so, right click on Stardew Valley on Steam. Click on Properties. Then on the left side on the new window, click on Local Files. Then click on the option Verify Integrity of Game Files. This will restore the xnb file that was used by the Easy Fishing v2.0 mod back to the original. Then Fishing Made Easy Suite will work properly.
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.
(Example: At 99% easy fishing, most fish will grant 14 to 21+ xp per perfect catch.)
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! The mod Skip Fishing Minigame and FishMe are compatible! CJB Cheats Menu's fishing options also work well!.
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! But only Version 2.0.7 of Fishing Made Easy Suite will work on Android devices. Version 3.0.0+ currently will not! This is due to Stardew Valley still being on Version 1.4 on Android. Once Android devices update to 1.5, the latest version of Fishing Made Easy Suite will work.
Q: Does this mod work in multiplayer?
A: Yes! It will work for those that have the mod installed. BUT settings that make fish appear at in all seasons or make legendary fish recatchable will not work unless the host has the mod and enables it. This is because those settings affect the game's location data. But any other setting that affects Easy Fishing, Time, and Weather will work for just those people that have them enabled.
Q: There used to be 143 settings to choose from...where did they go??
A: Yes! There used to be 143 but now that has dropped down to 10 settings as of Version 3.0.4! This was a long awaited change to the mod I've been actively working on and figuring out since well before Version 2.0.0. Instead of selecting one of 143 options, you can now mix the 10 settings together to create the same results as one of the 143 original settings! This change will be much better and easier on the eyes for those that had to choose a setting through a wall of text.
Q: Why am I not getting a legendary fish with the times, seasons, and weather settings enabled?
A: This is due to the fact legendary fish are hardcoded in a way to show up less when there's a larger school of fish available. Since you're activating every school of fish with those settings, legendary fish will appear very rarely. If you are looking to catching a legendary fish once but still want the benefit of the all times, seasons, and weather settings, I would recommend enabling a setting that makes legendary fish recatchable. Those settings bypass the 'pool of fish' requirements for legendary fish as legendary fish are no longer hardcoded and are now apart of the same school of fish as normal fish. Once you get the legendary fish you want, switch back to the previous setting you were using if you no longer want legendary fish to be recatchable.
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 :)

With this update, I have separated the Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) settings and made them their own mod! You can find the SVE Edition mod here: Fishing Made Easy Suite - SVE Edition
> Added new hard difficulty options! (15%, 25% ,35% , and 50%) For those seeking a challenge!
