no mipmaps hogwarts and hogsmeade optimized settings.

*I made a mistake when I first uploaded it. I forget the _P. without it the mod didn't work unfortunately. it works now as can be seen by the image. the scalability files fortunately always worked.

I created a mod that uses the same chunk as the main game so when the files are replaced the mods could in theory improve performance. ive tested them and they more or less do. but the important part of the mod is that it takes the most taxing textures in the game resizing them by half and removes all the mipmaps. harry potter has 12 mipmaps. but there are only 4 settings. low medium high and ultra. most textures are 4096 x 4096 and scaled down. 4096 x 4096 I assume is higher than ultra settings. 2048 x 2048 is what theyre scaled down to which is still pretty large for 1 texture. I use a clever technique to keep the 4096 x 4096 quality while being 2048 x 2048.  I also have a scalability file thats customized to only make foliage and shadows potato quality when set to low. Unlike with the original potato mods on nexus mods. you can set textures to high or ultra and the rest of the settings except for foliage quality and shadow quality will respect your preferences. foliage quality and shadow quality use the preset settings from the potato mod. meaning low is potato medium low high medium ultra medium. not entirely sure why the mod just doesn't make ultra high. I suppose I could fix that.

1. mod installation

2. copy mod to Phoenix/Content/Paks/~mods in the steam/steamapps/common/hogwartslegacy folder

Scalability installation file

1.press win r

2. type %appdata%

3. go to local

4. go to Local/Hogwarts Legacy/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor

5. paste the Scalability file into the folder

6. make sure the files readonly.

foliage quality must be set to low and shadow quality must be set to low to use the ultra low foliage quality and ultra low shadow quality that is part of the scalability mod.

our original scalability mod has a crash on  the elf the knabsack and the loom when shadow quality is not set to high which with that version of the mod is medium.

with our scalability mod fix. setting shadow quality to medium now prevents crashing in the elf the knabsack and the loom

with the scalability mod fix. foliage quality low potato medium medium high high ultra ultra shadow quality low potato(causes crashes on the elf the knabsack and the loom) medium medium high high ultra ultra

now fixed. there is now a version of the mod that has the smallest value for shadow size. im not sure if its a dummy value or not. although the cool glitch where it gets extremely bright in hogwarts may not be there. performance is improved. game now won't crash in the elf the knabsnack and the loom when using the modified ini file.

mod was tested using these settings. you can modify these how you want except for foliag
