Player height adjustment

Makes the player character taller or shorter. This is an improved version of the classic mod "Year Level". Height is preserved after loading or fast traveling, and clothing physics no longer behave weirdly (in most cases).

✨ Module introduction

This is an **improved version** of the classic mod **Year Level**! The original mod hasn't been updated in a year and the author has lost contact, so I've brought this new version with many bug fixes.

🆕Main improvements

• **Fine adjustment**: The player's height and head size can be **adjusted up or down (in steps of 2%)** to achieve any ratio you want.
• **State Saving**: Your selected height and head size settings will be retained **when fast traveling or loading the game**.
• **Cutscene Control**: Cutscene scaling can now be turned on and off at any time (even while a cutscene is playing).
• **Physical Fix**: Clothing physical effects **no longer appear abnormal (in most cases)**.
• **Key Customization**: All key bindings can be changed.

🛠️ Installation Guide

**Tip**: While it is possible to install automatically using Vortex, Vortex is sometimes unreliable for Hogwarts Legacy mods (may not remove the mod correctly), so manual installation is **recommended**.

Manual installation steps

• **Download** the module file.
• **Extract** the contents of the compressed package.
• **Move** the following three files to the game Mod directory:
• `zPlayerHeight-1028_P.utoc`
• `zPlayerHeight-1028_P.ucas`
• `zPlayerHeight-1028_P.pak`
• **Destination folder**: `Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\`
• **Install** the required **Blueprint Apparate Modloader** if it is not already installed.
• **Launch** the "Hogwarts Legacy" game.
• **Load** your most recent save.
• Press the **`F8`** key to activate the mod loader.
• Enter **`PlayerHeight`** in the small window and press **`Enter`**.
• If the word `PlayerHeight` disappears and reappears below with an **`X`** next to it, the load is successful. If it's stuck at the top, check the file path or use my **PakChunk Checker** to check for conflicts.
• Press **`F8`** again to close the mod loader window.

**Note**: The above process only needs to be performed once, and then the module will automatically take effect.
