How to Hang a Fish on Your Car in NTE

Have you noticed drivers cruising through the expansive world of Neverness to Everness (NTE) with a fish swinging from their back bumper and wondered how to achieve the look? It is an eccentric stylistic touch that injects character into your ride, and pulling it off is simpler than you might expect. This walkthrough details the complete procedure, from reeling in the proper catch to fitting the required vehicle component.

At a Glance

Requirements: A Rear Tow Hook equipped on your vehicle and a purple or golden fish.
Steps: Catch a fish → Fit the hook → Lock the fish → Equip as a back ornament.
Cost: The hook requires Fons (the in-game currency).
Time: Approximately 15–30 minutes, contingent upon your fishing fortune.

Step 1: Catch a Purple or Golden Fish

Initially, you must acquire a fish that qualifies for exhibition. Only specimens of purple and golden rarity can be suspended from your automobile. Here is the method to secure one:

Locate a fishing zone – Search the map for bodies of water marked by a fishing symbol.
Equip your rod and bait – Confirm that both items are present in your inventory.
Fish until a purple or golden catch bites – Participating in the Fishing Frenzy event (if live) can boost your odds, though it is not mandatory.

Should you encounter difficulties, experiment with superior bait or cast your line in spots known for yielding rarer catches.

Step 2: Install a Rear Tow Hook

Following that, you need to upgrade your automobile to feature a Rear Tow Hook. This aesthetic accessory enables the attachment of ornaments such as fish.

Visit any automotive customization shop – These establishments are indicated on your map.
Speak with the vendor and select your vehicle.
Choose Modify and navigate to the Rear Tow Hook selection.
Purchase it using Fons – The expense is minimal, meaning it will not drain your funds.

Once fitted, the hook will be clearly visible at the back of your car.

Step 3: Lock the Fish in Your Inventory

Before you can apply the fish, you must lock it within your Fish Hold. This prevents the system from triggering a "There are no usable fish in the Fish Hold" warning when attempting to choose a rear decoration.

Access the map and choose Hethereau Hobbies.
Select Fishing and open your Fish Hold.
Lock the purple or golden fish you intend to showcase.

Securing the fish is vital—omitting this will cause the game to fail in recognizing the item as an eligible decoration.

Step 4: Equip the Fish on Your Car

Now comes the final phase:

Open your City Tycoon menu.
Navigate to the garage and pick the car equipped with the hook.
Select the fish you wish to display on the automobile.
Click Use to apply it.

Your vehicle will now feature a fish dangling from its rear hook, allowing you to cruise around with your unique marine accessory.

Keeping Fish Fresh for Later

In the event that you reel in more high-tier fish than immediately necessary, you can house them in an aquarium to prevent decay. Proceed as follows:

Warp to the nearest Luna Bay (identify the fish bowl symbol).
Purchase an aquarium, tank decoration, fish food, and chemical acid for pH regulation.
Fast travel to any property you own within NTE.
Deploy the aquarium and interact with it.
Set up the tank decoration – the aquarium will reject fish if this is omitted.
Transfer your unused, locked fish into the tank.

Specimens housed in a tank remain available to use as rear ornaments later on, serving as a reliable method to maintain a backup supply.

Troubleshooting

"There are no usable fish in the Fish Hold" – Verify that you have locked the fish inside your Fish Hold prior to attempting installation.
Cannot locate a Rear Tow Hook – Ensure you are visiting an automotive modification garage and have chosen the proper vehicle.
Fish missing from the options list – Double-check that the specimen is of purple or golden rarity and is successfully locked.
