Summer Update 2024

Public Service Announcement

On 12 June 2024 Hogwarts Mod Merger ("HMM") was updated to include the changes made by the Summer Update 2024. If you use v0. 13 of HMM then you don't need to install this mod. All you need to do is click on each red "!" and HMM will automatically update your mods for you.

Description

On 06 June 2024, an official game update was released which made some changes to the game's SQL database and the localization (language) files. This rendered all existing SQL mods (and language files) OUT OF DATE. All SQL mods (and language files) will therefore need to be updated by the original creators. Since a lot of creators are no longer actively modding Hogwarts Legacy, this might never happen for some mods. Fortunately this problem can be solved by including the attached pak file in your merge.

It will also solve this problem with the Photo Mode button:

A quick explanation about merging:

Some mods contain the PhoenixShipData.sqlite SQL database. Some mods contain the MAIN-enUS.bin language file. Some mods contain both. You need to merge all the mods that contain either PhoenixShipData.sqlite or MAIN-enUS.bin or both into a single zMergedMods.pak file by loading them all into Hogwarts Mod Merger at the same time. If you've previously merged some you don't need to merge them from scratch, you can just merge any new ones with your old zMergedMods.pak file.
