Happy Hogwarts (Room of Requirement BGM replacement)

🎵 **Replace that funny tune with a childhood melody! **

This mod replaces the background music of the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts Legacy from the slightly comical original theme song to a more nostalgic melody from the old games of our childhood.

✨ Module Features

  • **Classic Melody Returns**: The two classic tracks "Happy Hogwarts" and "Hogwarts Neutral" are merged and edited into a 1 minute and 45 second audio file that plays in a loop, filling the Room of Requirement with the warm atmosphere of the old magic school.
  • **Nostalgic Experience Upgrade**: The author recommends using it with another pause menu music module to get the most complete nostalgic experience.
  • **Version Selection**: In addition to the currently included orchestral remastered version, the module also provides an alternative version using the early **VST original sound source** for players who prefer a more original sound.
  • 🎻 Listen to the orchestral version
  • 🎹 VST original audition

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.
