Fishing Traps, Advanced Cooking, Salt Making Add-on (UPDATED)

This fishing mod allows you to place a trap in the water with some bait and you can walk away for a while. It will catch all types of fish depending on the locations. The book will explain each location and the type of fish you can catch. When the trap is full you will be notified but you need to get to it because a full trap can eventually be destroyed by the fish. Animals may even be attracted to it and destroy your trap to get to the fish and may linger around waiting for you.

This mod has 3 main components as the title says,


I - FISHING: 1 new book and 2 new skills, FISHING SENSE and COLLECT WOOD.
Book - A Beginners Guide To Trap Fishing. Reading this will unlock your new skills and start the mod. It
also describes how to find places to put your trap, IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THIS TO LEARN HOW TO
FIND FISHING HOLES.

- FISHING SENSE: This is how you find the fishing locations, when you get close to a good location you will be
notified and asked it you want to setup your trap. Activate this sense like a shout or skill.
Reading the book will help you know where to look near rivers, lakes and waterfalls. Each area
will produce slightly different fish. Lasts about 5 minutes.

- COLLECT WOOD - This skill simply lets you collect branches to make the walls for fishing trap.

II- COOKING: New perk on Alchemy tree called GOURMET COOK, as your alchemy skill increases the foods you cook
will have stronger beneficial effects.

III- SALT MAKING: In the major port cities of Solitude, Windhelm and Dawnstar there are now facilities that allow you to
make simple sea salt. There is a well to draw sea water from and a large oven to boil the water. All
you have to do is fill it with a few gallons of sea water, start a fire and collect what remains. I kept it
simple so the well acts just like an activator you just click on it and you will hear the water being
collected. The ratio is about 3 or 4 piles of salt per bucket of water. The cauldron holds about 4
gallons. Will be updating this part of the mod as well down the line.


- BUCKET: You can now craft one at the forge so you don't have to search for them.

BUTTER CHURN - I have it possible to make butter in Riverwood with a butter churn. I am testing this for addition food recipes that need butter and just to make possible to get more without having to own one Hearthfire homes. It is located on Hod and Gerdur's property (near the cow) behind the Riverwood trader. It needs milk to make butter which you can purchase from most bars.
