Updated: September 1, 2021
Fully Compatible
Stardew Valley Expanded (SVE) A huge fan made expansion mod for Stardew Valley! Fishing Made Easy Suite has full compatibility settings labeled as (SVE) in the config file specifically for this fantastic mod!
Generic Mod Config Menu This mod allows you to enable settings for Fishing Made Easy Suite in the Stardew Valley main menu without closing out of the game!
Skip Fishing Minigame 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.
Visible Fish - see catchable fish in the water This mod does exactly as it says...you can see fish in the water :D It also shows you which fish are currently available at each location! Works wonders with Fishing Made Easy Suite's settings!
Fishing Info Overlays This mod displays which fish are currently active in the top left corner of the screen, keeps track of your bait, and it also will show a preview of the fish you're catching in the fishing mini game. 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: Why did you split up the Vanilla and SVE settings into two separate mods?
A: There's a few reasons for this. One is definitely convenience for both myself and the user. If people are not using SVE, there was no point if having the SVE settings included in one whole mod. A second reason is load times for SMAPI, having both separated will ease a little bit on the start up times. And the third reason is for SVE updates. If SVE updates anything for fishing, I would have to update the entire mod which is a little bothersome for those that do not use SVE. This will be much easier in the long run!
Q: Why didn't you just keep the SVE Edition on the original mod's page?
A: This is actually due to the fact I don't want to add loads of information on the main mod page. Having them as separate mods helps in this regard.
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: The SVE Edition of this mod currently has no support for Android devices.
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 :)
