The How to Fish Save Editor in LagZapper gives players a visual way to read and modify both Player Save and World Save data without manually searching through save text.

This guide will show you what the How to Fish Save Editor can change, how to use it, and how to restore backups when needed.

What Is the How to Fish Save Editor?

The How to Fish Save Editor is a visual tool in LagZapper that reads Player Save and World Save data, so you can edit supported values without changing complex save text manually. Player data is stored in local.txt, while world saves use named .txt files such as Test.txt. Before editing, fully close How to Fish and preferably exit Steam.

What Can You Change with the How to Fish Save Editor?

The How to Fish Save Editor separates editable data into Player Save and World Save sections, each covering different game progress and settings.

Edit How to Fish Player Save Data

The Player Save, stored as local.txt, covers character-related data. You can change appearance options such as skin, hat, outfit, accessory, and colors, as well as the Bean skin, input settings, and supported item skin unlock records.

It also includes creature records such as whether a creature has been killed and task-related outfit records. Item skins should use supported values already present in a compatible save rather than adding unknown IDs.

Edit How to Fish World Save Data

World saves use named .txt files and contain broader progress data. You can edit money, playtime, facilities, and unlocks such as the Grill, Boat, and Boat Radar, story-related flags, and multiplayer settings including Steam multiplayer and public or invite-only rooms.

Each world save also contains player-specific and inventory data. After selecting the correct player by SteamID, you can edit supported player stats, bait counts, and recognized inventory entries.
