  Installation

  This extension requires Vortex >= 1. 7. 5. To install, click the Vortex button at the top of the page to open this extension within Vortex, and then click Install.

  You can also manually install it by downloading the main file and dragging it into the 'drop zone' labelled Drop File(s) in the Extensions tab at the bottom right.

  Afterwards, restart Vortex and you can begin installing supported Hogwarts Legacy mods with Vortex. If updating an extension, migration occurs that purges your mods folder and reinstalls any mods.

  Game detection

  The Hogwarts Legacy game extension enables Vortex to automatically locate installs from the Steam and Epic apps.

  It is also possible to manually set the game folder if the auto detection doesn't find the correct installation. A valid Hogwarts Legacy game folder contains:

  • []HogwartsLegacy.exe

    []/Engine

    []/Phoenix

    If your game lacks these files/folders then it is likely that your installation has become corrupted somehow.

    Mod Management

    By default, Vortex will deploy files to the game's root folder and extracts the archive while preserving the folder structure.

    Vortex will deploy files to the game's mod folder (`/Phoenix/Content/Paks/~mods`) if only `.pak` files are detected and extracts all nested files in the archive to their own individual within this one, ignoring archive folder structure. Each mod folder will be prefixed based on the users load order set within Vortex. Any files that are overwritten are backed up for when the mod is disabled or removed.

    This extension also supports mods that overwrite the games movie files, located within subfolders under `/Phoenix/Content/Movies`. When a mod is added that contains at least 1 `.bk2` file, the `hogwarts-modtype-movies` installer is used. This searches through the movies folder within the game and attempts to match anything that matches inside of the mod archive. If found, Vortex overwrites them (after backing up the originals) and if any `pak` files are also found within a movie mod, then these are processed the same as a pak-only mod.

    Load Order

    The load order of mods can now be set within Vortex to allow greater control over what mods are loaded before other mods. This is important so as multiple mods can change the same thing and so load order can be used to minimize collisions. Mods loaded last will have priority over mods loaded first.
