About this mod Machine translation

This is my version of Khione's classic mod "NPC Schedule Enhancement", split into modules. This module makes the common room more realistic.

Immersive Common Room

🎉Module Introduction

This is part of my **Immersion Mod Series**! It aims to revolutionize the atmosphere of Hogwarts common rooms, making them no longer empty, static scenes, but instead vibrant hubs of student life with real routines.

**Important Announcement** (as of November 21, 2024): Development of this standalone module has been **stopped**. It has been combined with all my other immersive mods into a single mod called **"Immersive ModPack"**. If you plan on installing all four of my immersive mods, I recommend installing the Immersive ModPack directly. Of course, if your computer has a lower configuration, or you are only interested in a specific module, you can still install this module separately.

✨ New features

In the original game, almost nothing happened in the common room. This mod changes all that!

  • **Dynamic People Flow**: The lounge becomes busy at certain times of the day (such as before meals, in the evening), and becomes quiet at other times.
  • **Meal time**: Students will leave the lounge and go to the auditorium for breakfast and dinner.
  • **Celebrity Visits**: Named important NPCs (e.g. classmates, prefects) now also spend time in the common room.
  • **Underclassmen Appearance**: First and second year students will now appear in all house lounges (barely visible in the original version).
  • **Pajama Party**: In the evening, students will change into pajamas to add a touch of life.
  • **Go to bed**: Starting with v2.1.0, students can now **go to bed**!

*Students set off for breakfast. *

⚠️ Essential pre-module (very important!)

This mod requires the following other mods to be installed to function properly:

  • **Time Dilator**: Time passes too fast in the original game (1 game day = 48 real-life minutes), which will cause the NPC to spend 1 hour in the game just walking from one place to another, making it impossible to create a real schedule. **MUST** install this mod and set the game day to at least 3.2 real-life hours (or more), otherwise all immersion mods will not work correctly.
  • **Emote with Any NPC v2.6 or higher**: In the original game, most of the beds in the four dormitories were "non-functional" and the mechanics of using the beds themselves were broken. This mod relies on the repair and function bed resources provided by the Emote module. You only need to install Emote's files, even without activating it in the mod loader.

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.
