🎣 Fishing Less Treasure

EN

Sometimes you send your Sim fishing because you want them to catch fish.

And somehow they come home with boxes, collectibles, random junk, and half the contents of the lake instead. 😅

Fishing Less Treasure makes fishing feel more like actual fishing by reducing the amount of random treasure and miscellaneous loot your Sims pull out of the water.

Fish become the main catch again, while treasure can still appear occasionally instead of taking over the entire fishing experience.

🐟 What does this mod do?

Fishing Less Treasure:

• reduces the frequency of random treasure caught while fishing,

• makes fish appear more often in relation to miscellaneous loot,

• keeps treasure fishing possible,

• makes fishing feel more natural and less cluttered,

• works as a small gameplay balance adjustment rather than a complete fishing overhaul.

The goal is not to remove treasure completely.

It is simply to make it feel like a bonus again.

🎁 Less treasure, more fish

Treasure can be fun.

But when your Sim goes fishing and keeps pulling out random objects instead of fish, it starts to feel less like fishing and more like underwater dumpster diving.

With this mod, treasure becomes something that feels a little more special when it does appear.

Your fishing rod is for fish.

Mostly. 🎣

🎮 Gameplay

There is nothing you need to activate or configure.

Install the mod and fish normally.

The change works automatically in the background.

Fishing itself remains unchanged — your Sims still use the normal fishing interactions, locations, skills, bait, and other existing game mechanics.

The difference is simply in the balance between fish and treasure catches.

It is a lightweight tuning mod designed to make the existing fishing system feel better balanced.

📦 Installation

1. Download the mod.

2. Extract the archive if necessary.

3. Place the mod file in:

Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods

1. Delete localthumbcache.package after installing or updating mods.

2. Start the game and go fishing.

🔄 Removing the mod

The mod can be removed at any time.

After removal, the game will return to its normal fishing loot balance.

⚠️ Compatibility

This mod may conflict with other mods that change the same fishing loot tables or directly modify what Sims can catch while fishing.

Mods that only add new fish, new fishing locations, or unrelated fishing features do not necessarily conflict, but compatibility depends on how they are implemented.

If you notice unusual fishing loot after installing another fishing mod, test the two mods separately.

💚 Why this mod exists

Fishing should still have surprises.

It just should not feel like your Sim is more likely to catch a mystery box than an actual fish.

Fishing Less Treasure keeps the fun of rare finds while putting fish back at the center of fishing gameplay.

Less treasure.

More fish.

Finally. 🐟✨
