Dynamic Weather

Dynamic Weather adds a continuous day/night cycle and island-specific weather to How to Fish.

Features

  • Rain with darker, cloudier skies.
  • Thunderstorms with lightning and procedural thunder.
  • Snow and snowstorms.
  • Hurricanes with heavy rain, strong wind, debris, spray, and larger waves.
  • Different weather probabilities for every island.
  • Layered stereo rain, wind, and thunder audio.
  • Weather audio routed through the game's Master and Effects volume controls.
  • Weather-driven changes to movement, traction, boats, waves, fish bite times, and reel speed.
  • Deterministic FishNet synchronization for automatic weather in multiplayer.

Dynamic Weather does not modify save files, money, health, inventory, quests, or progression.

Installation

Mod manager — recommended

Install DynamicWeather using Thunderstore Mod Manager, r2modman, or Gale. The required BepInEx pack is installed automatically.

Manual installation

  1. Install BepInEx 5.4.23.5 x64.
  2. Extract the package into the inner game folder containing How to Fish.exe.
  3. Confirm this file exists:
BepInEx/plugins/DynamicWeather/HowToFish.DynamicWeather.dll

Controls

Key Action
F6 Cycle to the next manual weather condition
F7 Return to automatic island weather

Optional Console Mod commands

Install ConsoleMod separately to use these commands:

weather status
weather auto
weather clear
weather rain
weather storm
weather snow
weather hurricane
weather volume 0-100
weather gameplay on|off
weather strength 0-100

clima is also available as an alias for weather.

Gameplay behavior

Weather Effects
Rain Reduced traction, light movement resistance, small waves, slightly faster bites
Storm Player gusts, stronger boat wind, larger waves, slower reeling
Snow Lower mobility and traction, calmer water, slower fish activity
Hurricane Strong knockback, camera shake, heavy boat forces, large waves, difficult reeling

The host applies boat and catch-time effects. Each player applies local movement and camera effects. In multiplayer, manually forced weather remains visual while gameplay physics use the shared automatic weather state to prevent desynchronization.

Compatibility

  • How to Fish for Windows x64
  • Steam build 24911270
  • Game version shown by the tested build: 1.0.9
  • Unity 6000.4.4f1
  • Mono scripting backend
