Protected Species
The Ministry of Magic has issued a new decree! 🐱 **All cats are now protected species** and any form of cruelty is prohibited. This mod makes your trip to Hogwarts even more cat-friendly!
✨ Module function
- **Protect Cats**: Ensure that felines in the game (such as cats, etc.) are protected from harm.
- **Law in Effect**: The Ministry of Magic decree "No Cruelty to Kittens" has been implemented in the game world.
⚙️ Installation and use
**Prerequisites**: You need to install one of the following mod loaders:
- UE4SS
- or Apparate Modloader
**How to use**:
**Installation using UE4SS**:
- In the `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\Mods\mods.txt` file, set `BPModLoaderMod` to `1`.
- Install this mod’s `.pak`, `.utoc` and `.ucas` files to the `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\LogicMods` folder.
**Installation using Apparate Modloader**:
- Install this mod's `.pak`, `.utoc` and `.ucas` files into the `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods` folder.
- Press **F8** while in game to open the mod loader menu.
- Enter the command: `DekProtectedSpecies`.
- The mod should now appear in the Apparate mod loader menu.
**💡 Tip**: If the module does not work properly when using Apparate Modloader, you can try adding the `!` symbol in front of the module file name. This seems to be a matter of priorities when using a large number of mods.
⚠️ Known issues
- This mod uses **pak chunk 76** and may not be compatible with other mods that also use this chunk.

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.
