📋 About This Mod

Overview

!! Download only one main file for each gender !!

Brighter Eyes or Even Brighter Eyes or Natural Eyes or Glowing Eyes.

You can mix and match. Example: Brighter Eyes - Female and Natural Eyes - Male.

2. Extract the archives with Winrar.

3. Put all three files from each archive in:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods

You can create the ~mods folder if you do not have it.

About Glowing Eyes

Glowing eyes will appear very bright in character creator and some scenes because of lightning settings. They are more defined in game. You can try disabling or lowering bloom if it looks wrong.

From top to bottom: eye color 12, eye color 21, eye color 25

Compatibility

This mod will not work with any mods that change the default diffuse map for all eyes.

Glowing eyes may look janky with custom pupil shapes from Unique Player Eye Shapes but they work.

This mod may affect NPCs that share the same eye assets as player.

The female file uses pakchunk 152 and the male file uses pakchunk 153.

Optional texture file uses pakchunk 151.
