A developer-mode utility that enhances fishing mechanics in supported games — auto-catch, instant bite, no rod wear, and more for offline single-player sessions.
DevMode Fishing is a lightweight tool that unlocks hidden developer-mode fishing commands in games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, or any Unity/Unreal title with a debug console. It allows you to tweak fishing parameters on the fly — perfect for testing, speedrunning, or just relaxing without the grind.

❓ Is this considered cheating?
It is a quality‑of‑life tool for offline single‑player use. Do not use in online/multiplayer modes.
❓ Will this work with the latest game patch?
This version works with the January 2026 update. Patches may require an update — check the repository for new releases.
❓ Can I use this with mods?
Yes, it is compatible with most SMAPI/Reshade mods as long as they don't conflict with memory hooks.
❓ My save file got corrupted — what now?
Always back up your saves before using any progression‑editing features. Saves are typically located in `%APPDATA%\GameName\Saves`.
❓ Why does it say "DevMode not enabled" in the game?
Make sure you run the tool before launching the game, and press `Ctrl+Shift+D` to open the dev console inside the game.
