Instant Fish Catch mod Guide

Ok, hopefully this will be ok to post, but I thought I might make a quick, basic guide for the people who are having trouble with (what I find) are one of the most annoying parts of the game; the fishing minigame. For people with slower reflexes then they used to be, or like my wife who has a cast on one finger right now, or people who just want something more resembling the classic Harvest Moon-esque style play, this is a must. Luckily, it's also very, very simple. While the main mod thread is nice, there is a LOT of technical info in there that the casual user is going to find intimidating, and unsure of what steps to take in what order. Hopefully this will be of some help to someone.

Edit: Before I begin, though, I give full credit for the creation of the mod itself to Zoryn. All I'm doing is wading through the mod thread to make a step guide to follow.

First download 2 files.

Download the newest StardewModdingAPI.exe
https://github.com/Zoryn4163/SMAPI/releases

Then download IntantFishCatch.dll
https://github.com/Zoryn4163/SMAPI-Mods/releases

Go to your main StardewValley steam folder, place the .exe into that main folder. Put the .dll into your \Mods folder. If you don't have a Mods folder in your main StardewValley folder, then make one and put the .dll into it.

Run the StardewModdingAPI.exe instead of the main game .exe. Possibly even make a shortcut so you're running this, now, instead of the main game .exe.

Profit.

 

How does this work with treasure chests?

Are they fished up as well?

 

Judging by the code, there is an option to allow that.

 

Thanks,
too bad though.

 

Covered your mod in my latest video!

 

Just a heads up, from what I can tell, this is Zoryn's mod. Artemi7 just posted it.

 

Yes, I apologize for not giving full credit to the modder, Zoryn. The only thing I'm doing here is wading through the mod thread and organizing data into a miniguide. That's what I get for trying to type this up before going to work in the morning. Sorry, Zoryn! ;~;

Also, from what I've seen, yes you still fish up bonus treasure, too.

 

Any idea if this still works with the new version? .37 that is. I know it broke a lot of mods

 

I'm using it with .37 right now with this mod, works so far. Had to update my Framework to 4.5 or whatever the newest one is, though.

 

I'm using .37 and it doesn't work. I still get the minigame instead of the instant catch.

 

It's not working for me on .37, using Windows 10 which has .Net 4.5 already.

 

This is not working for me either

 

I downgraded to 0.36 just for this mod. Why am I so bad at fishing.

 

Same here, I've been avoiding .037 specifically because of this mod...

 

There is another mod the contains the same function in addition to others. All of the settings are optional.

It may be more than you want but it could hold you over until the other mod is updated. I can confirm it also gets the treasure boxes.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. Still hope for an update though.
Having all those other options is tempting and could ruin the game for me (not judging, if using this enhances your enjoyment go ahead. Just not for me.).

 

Oh, awesome! That's what I wanted, but no one seemed to mention that it also got the treasure boxes. Thank you! I guess I have no reason to hold out anymore.

 

The links don't seem to be working

 

Any other fishing mods out there working with 0.37/38/39+ ? I'm using the TimeSpeed mod and that's currently conflicting with CheatMenu...(as in at some point, time just freezes everywhere, and the only way to fix it is to Exit and restart the game) and since I'm only using InstantCatch and Durable fences from the cheat, menu thought I'd look the individual mods up again.

 

Hey I am new and totally clueless how do I install the newest StardewModdingAPI.exe?
