Installation for .pak file:
- Go to \Phoenix\Content\Paks
- *OPTIONAL* Create a new folder there named “~mods”.
- Download the mod and drop its contents in either the Paks folder or the ~mods folder.
Installation for Scalability.ini file:
- Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
- Replace your Scalability.ini with the mod’s.
- Make sure you set it to Read Only before launching the game or else it will be overwritten by the game and almost everything in it will be deleted. To set it to Read Only you need to Right Click it, click properties and check Read Only in there.
- If you want to edit it use Scalability Reference | Unreal Engine 4.27 Documentation as a reference. To edit it uncheck Read Only, make whatever changes you want and set it back to Read Only before launching the game.
Notes:
Choose either the .pak file or the Scalability.ini file. As far as I can tell the Scalability.ini file is working fine but there’s a chance the game isn’t reading everything correctly.
If you want to use my Engine.ini go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor and drop it there. Or open my editted Engine.ini with Notepad and copy paste my modifications to yours. I’ve included one with comments that explain what each line does.
E.G. If you want is disabled fog go to your engine.ini and put this at the end of the file:
[SystemSettings]
r.fog=0
If you want to restore your Engine.ini delete it and launch your game. A new one will be generated.
