📋 About This Mod
Various tweaks to existing male presets. The changes are subtle but visible in gameplay.
This is a personal preference mod so you can install just one or multiple presets. They are compatible with each other.
Optional preset 14 replacement for Ominis or Sebastian from Better Slytherins and Ominis skin texture replacement for all skintones.
Installation
1. Download the files for the presets you want. If you download the All in One file you do not need to download each preset individually.
Optional: Choose only one replacement for NPC head replacement for preset 14 or only one will show up.
2. Extract the archives.
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.
Compatibility
This mod will not work with mods that replace male player presets.
Optional NPC head replacement will not work with mods that replace preset 14.
Optional Ominis skin texture will not work with skintone mods (makeup, paler, darker). If you install different skin mods there may be skintone mismatch for hands.
As with every head mod there may be clipping in certain face expressions.
The pakchunk numbers start from 231 for preset 1, 232 for preset 2, 244 for preset 14 and so on. The All in One file uses pakchunk 230. Optional skin texture uses 229.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 944 endorsements and over 50k downloads
- Directly improves all male presets, so you see the change immediately
- Optional files let you tailor it to your playthrough, especially if you use Better Slytherins
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023, so may not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Author deleted their account, so no support or future updates
- Only affects male presets—if you play a female character, this mod does nothing for you
For Hogwarts Legacy players who want their male character to look more polished without overhauling the whole game. Also great for those using Better Slytherins who want Sebastian and Ominis to match. Skip if you play a female protagonist or prefer more drastic character overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use Better Slytherins, grab the optional files for Sebastian and Ominis heads to keep everything consistent.
- Since the mod replaces presets, start a new game or use the character editor to see the changes—existing saves may not reflect them.
- Check the mod's file structure and place files in the correct folder (usually ~mods) to avoid conflicts with other character mods.
