help a noob: seeking guidance for mods

[HEAVY METAL HAZARD]

so i'm still pretty fresh into this game, and i wanna try mods. but i have no idea where to start. dunno what's reputable for this game, that kind of thing. throw links to guides about this exact thing in here, give your input and experience, w/e. cosmetic stuff would be cool, i'd love to make my own textures. stuff that reduces lag. not really looking for straight-up cheats but feel free to share whatever. maybe this post can serve as a small directory for that kind of thing to help other new players like myself.

There is mods in this game?

Download this manually, extract/unzip it and run the setup exe.
https://thunderstore.io/c/webfishing/p/ebkr/r2modman/
When you get the program running select your game: Webfishing, from there you can enter the "online" menu on the left panel and install any mods on the thunderstore website with a simple one-click install.
Most mods have dependencies such as GDweave, Lure, or their own APIs made for other mods, though when you click to download a mod with the installer it will prompt you to download its' dependencies, which makes it really easy to download mods that require others.
If you don't want to use the R2modmanager most mods can be installed by extracting them to your game directory. Using this method most mods are typically installed at steam/steamapps/common/webfishing/GDWeave/mods
Good luck with modding. If I can give a recommendation for mods, I think my current fave is SkyMenu which gives you 30 skyboxes with lighting effects to mess around with. I much prefer this mod to the Day and Night mod which gets way too dark for nighttime, and this one has many more options for how you want the game to look.

Oh yeah if you do decide to use r2modman then you need to launch the game with the mod manager with the (start modded) button. Many, if not all mods will not work if you install with r2modman and launch the game without loading up the mod manager. You can set the launch options for this to launch r2modman.exe instead of webfishing.exe which is what I did to prevent myself from accidentally launching vanilla.

Right click the game for it's properties, under general put this in launch options. (your install path may be different so just change it accordingly, it does require the quotes I typed and it does end with %command%)

"C:\Users\PCUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Programs\r2modman\r2modman.exe" %command%

You can use this %command% line to launch any third party mod manager/launcher/program through steam as the game you purchased and you will still accumulate hours in that game and you can use the steam overlay if you need to.
