Fishing Minigame for Inner Circle Release (Patreon)

Turn every bite into a small skill challenge inspired by classic fishing minigames.

When the active Sim gets a bite, their phone rings and asks whether you want to play. Choose Yes to open a paused meter. Hold left mouse or Space to lift the catch zone, release to let it fall, and keep the moving fish inside until the reel meter fills.

Highlights

- Sims-style custom fishing interface

- Skill-scaled catch zone across Fishing levels 0 through 10

- Bronze, Silver, and Gold performance rewards

- Real location-, bait-, pack-, and skill-eligible fish

- Fish thumbnail and name revealed from Fishing level 4

- Exact pre-rolled fish weight shown from Fishing level 6

- Different speed and behavior for every EA or compatible custom fish

- Safe No, close, and timeout paths that preserve EA's original catch

- No external mod dependency
