Replaced the pause menu music with the one people remember from the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets PC game (aka Diagon Alley).

Pause Menu BGM Replacement - Diagon Alley

🎵 **Awaken your memories with magic! ** This mod replaces the pause menu background music of "Hogwarts Legacy" with the unforgettable melody from the classic PC game "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" - **Diagon Alley**!

✨ Module function

Replace the default background music of the in-game pause menu with the nostalgic "Diagon Alley" theme song of the PC version of "The Chamber of Secrets". Although due to the limitations of the engine and audio length, the loop connection may not be perfect, but the overall effect is still excellent enough to instantly transport you back to that magical era.

📥 Installation Guide

The installation process is very simple and only requires a few steps:

  • **Find the game directory**: Navigate to `..\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks`.
  • **Create Mod Folder**: If it does not exist, please create a folder named `~mods` inside the `Paks` folder.
  • **Insert file**: Place the downloaded `z_PauseMenuMusicMod_P.pak` file into the `~mods` folder.

⚠️ Compatibility Notes

  • **Not Compatible** Any other mods that modify the pause menu background music in any way.

🧙‍♂️ Matching suggestions

For the **complete nostalgic experience**, the author highly recommends using it in conjunction with his other mod **Happy Hogwarts**!

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.
