Lux Naturalis (Reshade default)
✨ **What is this? **
This is a personal Reshade preset designed specifically for Hogwarts Legacy! Its goal is to make the Scottish Highlands look more pleasing to the eye and add a more sunny feel to the world, **without** being over-sharpened or saturated to the point where your wizard looks like he's taken magic mushrooms. 🎃 Shadows and black and white levels have been adjusted to give the game graphics more depth and color.

🏔️ Highland scenery
By comparing GIFs, you can visually see the changes:
The early morning flight experience also becomes bright and vibrant, just right without burning your retinas:
❄️ Winter season
I noticed that the game looks very gray in winter scenes. If you've ever seen snow in real life, you know that when sunlight hits fresh white snow, it looks pretty bright before it melts. This preset turns the gray snow in the game into real snow:
🏰 Hogwarts Castle
One of the most significant changes occurred inside Hogwarts Castle. The interior is now filled with more warm, earthy tones, and **comfort has been directly increased by 99%**! 🏠
Comfort proves it below :)

⚙️ Installation instructions
Of course, you need to install Reshade first to use this preset.
After installing Reshade, just drag and drop the **Lux Naturalis** file into the directory where your game `.exe` file is located:
`C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64`
Then select **Replace All Files**.
**Enjoy a more beautiful magical world! ** ✨
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
