Editable new game + save files

NG+ archive for archive editor.

Editable new game+save file

🎮 **Easily start your second-week magic journey! **

Since the May 2023 update, many save editors have broken, making manually creating New Game+ (NG+) saves nearly impossible. This mod was created to solve this problem!

I managed to get Steam to download the original version of the game and create this set of save files for you, one for each academy.

✨ Module function

Using HP0X1A4's save editor, I've set everything up so that as soon as you unlock the game-related menus, you'll get:

• **All spells** (except Disguise, as skipping certain dialogues may affect the experience)
• **All equipment appearance**
• **All Equipment Traits**
• **All Summoning Items**

As long as you haven't overwritten these files in game, you can use the editor to add or re-lock anything you want. Once the game saves them, the new encryption is applied.

**Please note**: This save **does not contain** experience points (XP) or equipment. The specific operations and role customization methods are as follows.

📥 Installation Guide

• **Turn off cloud saving**: Use whatever method works for you to make sure the cloud saving feature is disabled.
• **Find the archive folder**: Go to this path on your computer:

`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Hogwarts Legacy\Saved\SaveGames\`

(*This may affect your existing game settings*)

• **Replace files**: **Delete** all the contents in this folder and replace them with the files provided by this module.
• **Launch the game**: Launch the game, load a save, then **re-enable cloud saves** and exit the game.
• **Play to your heart’s content**: From now on, you can do whatever you want!

🎯 How to use archives

In the save selection screen, hover your mouse over a save and press **'F'**.

• **First Autosave**: Start the game from the initial cutscene.
• **Second Autosave**: Starts after the Portkey takes you into the cave.
• **Two manual saves**: The exact same save when you wake up in the common room after the Sorting Ceremony, **with all content unlocked**.

**Recommended process**: Choose the first automatic save of your favorite college, play until the morning after the sorting ceremony, then load the manual save to continue the adventure!

⚔️ Experience points and equipment acquisition

It's not possible to edit XP/level directly early in the game, but I found a simple workaround.

When you wake up the morning after the Sorting Ceremony and load my save, use this modifier: Fling Trainer (very safe, I've been using it myself for a long time).

Set **Exp Multiplier** to **925.0625**. In this way, once you and Professor Weasley collect the **First Page of the Magic Guide**, your level will be immediately raised to **exact level 40**.

After completing this step, the equipment you obtain/discover/purchase in the future will also be level 40. As for traits and upgrades, you need to figure it out yourself, but level 40 and level 40 equipment are enough to support you to the stage of the game where you can handle these contents.

👤 Character customization

Each save is the same base character, with only the name, hairstyle, and tone of voice varying. Obviously I can't create a unique archive for each person.

**BEST ADVICE**: Create a save and complete the opening with the character you want, then replace it with my save file, then use nathdev's character editor to turn "Miss Striker" into your own student.

(You can also go to "Mrs. Snelling's Hairdressing Shop" in the northwest corner of Hogsmeade to change your hairstyle)

**NOTE**: Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff archives use custom hairstyles:

• Ravenclaw hairstyle

*Hufflepuff hairstyle

⚠️ Known issues

• **Crash on first load**: The game may crash** when loading the save file for the first time**. If this happens, just restart the game and it should be back to normal.
• **Abnormal NPC location**: For some players, Professor Weasley may be waiting in her office instead of …
