📋 About This Mod
If you're like me you've found the default number of enemies that spawn to be a bit lacking, especially with creatures such as wolves and spiders. This mod gives a good boost to their numbers. The main version doubles the number of enemies. Check the alternate versions if you only want the number of creatures increased. I also have one that greatly increases the numbers of creatures. Note, this does not seem to affect enemy spawns at specific locations, just the enemies that spawn randomly throughout the world while roaming around.
I highly recommend merging this with my other mods. The train schedule fix and my OP Spells or Longer Lasting spells. I like to fly along the train tracks until I find a group of enemies and then turn them into explosive barrels and place them on the train tracks so if you want to do the same, definitely try out that combo of mods.
Installation:
It's a .pak mod I made by editing the PhoenixGameData.sqlite with sqlitestudio, specifically the SpawnGroupDefiniton section.
It's installed like all the other pak mods, Just open the provided zip file using your preferred tool such as 7zip. Place the provided .pak file in your ~mods folder which should be located at: Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods
If you would like to learn how to modify the file yourself then check out this guide
Note:
if you have another mod using the PhoenixShipData.sqlite file, this will not work unless you use a merging tool, from here https://www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/178
Fortunately, this tool is very easy to use and allows you to mix and match various mods with ease.
Don't forget to click the red exclamation point button in the mod merger to make the file compatible before you merge!
