📋 About This Mod

DISCLAIMER: I AM IN NO WAY TRYING TO UNDERMINE THE HLAT TOOL'S AUTHOR'S WORK. IF I COME ACROSS THAT WAY, I APOLOGIZE. I SIMPLY WANT TO PROVIDE ANOTHER WAY OF CHANGING CHARACTER FACE'S AND SKINTONES THAT WILL ALSO WORK ACROSS MAIN MENUS AND GEAR PREVIEWS AS WELL.

ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: Due to a small misunderstanding of copyrighting and licensing permissions, the mod was removed. Special thanks to the nexus moderator that I had a pleasant discussion with to clear up the misunderstandings.

Out of our discussion's understandings, please find the link below to the HxD Tool's license rights: https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/license.php

Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get straight into steps for face and/or skintone:

  • []Download the tool and install it. If you feel more relieved to download from an official source, please visit: https://mh-nexus.de/en/downloads.php?product=HxD20

    []Install the tool to wherever you like. This does not affect how the tool runs, at least not in my experience.

    []Run the tool and browse to your savefile folder. This will normally be Appdata/Local/HogwartsLegacy/Saved/SaveGames/"12345."

    []"12345" will be your user ID so replace that in the step above while you are browsing for your save file.

    []Within the "12345" folder, find your most recent save file. If you're a one save only player like me, your most recent save file should be "HL-00-00.sav". Otherwise, make sure to sort by 'Date Modified' and  pick your most recent save file.

    []Upon opening the file with HxD, use Ctrl+F to use the "find" function or alternatively, hover over 'Search' -> 'Find'.

    []Search for the keyword "Headstyle" if you're changing your face and "Skincolor" if you're changing your skin color.

    []Once the tool has found it for you, you will be able to see your current face/skincolor. Example: "Player0HEADSTYLEFaceFemale002!"

    []Highlight 2 and change the number to your preferred choice. If your preferred number is two digit, highlight the zero in front, separately and change it to 1. DO NOT add an extra number anywhere. Example: "Player0HEADSTYLEFaceFemale014!"

    []REMEMBER TO HIGHLIGHT AND CHANGE THE NUMBER. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. DO NOT, DO NOT USE BACKSPACE. Backspacing will corrupt your save. Please do not do that. If you messed up and backspaced, cancel and start over the steps. If you proceed with saving the changes with a backspace, I am not responsible for your corrupted save.

  • You're done, click save and exit the tool. You can find save under 'File' -> 'Save'. Or alternatively, press "Ctrl+S".

    For wand style and type, the steps will differ slightly as there will be more values to tweak. Also please keep in mind that unlike Face and Skintone, wand style and type starts with the value 0 instead of 1. This will
