📦 Prerequisites and usage methods

**Required Mods:**

  • **UICore** - **Always required**, regardless of which mod loader is used.

**Mod loader (choose one of two):**

A logical module loader is required, for example:

  • **UE4SS**
  • **Apparate Modloader**

⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTE**: **DO NOT** load the same mod in two loaders at the same time!

**Installation using UE4SS:**

  • In the `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\Mods\mods.txt` file, set `BPModLoaderMod` to `1`.
  • Install this mod’s `.pak`, `.utoc` and `.ucas` files to the `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\LogicMods` folder.

**Install using Apparate Modloader:**

  • Install this mod's `.pak`, `.utoc` and `.ucas` files into the `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods` folder.
  • Press **F8** while in game to open the mod loader menu.
  • Enter the command: `DekDateTimeHUD` (regardless of which version you are using, enter this).
  • The mod should now appear in the Apparate mod loader menu.

💡 **Troubleshooting**: If the mod is not working properly in the Apparate loader, you can try prefixing all mod file names with the `!` symbol. This often resolves priority issues caused by using a large number of mods at the same time.

⚠️ Known issues

  • **Pak Block Conflict**: This mod uses Pak block 1313 and may be incompatible with other mods that also use this block.
  • *Older versions (versions without configurable UI) use Pak block ID 74. *
  • **Date and Season**: In-game dates and seasonal weather are independent, and the latter is linked to story progress.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
