❓ FAQ

**Will it affect my archive? **

• **Short answer**: I don't know.
• **Detailed answer**:

I haven't played through the main story in full to test if this affects anything. In theory it should only affect visuals, but I wouldn't recommend taking the risk: **Please back up your save files**.

This mod is designed for the late game (because a lot of people complained about the seasons not changing).

If you're brave and want to use it in the current archive, please let me know if there are any issues.

I've included a method to reset the date to any time of your choosing. So if something goes wrong with a save file, you can use this mod to reset the time to a certain moment the game expects.

**How ​​do I set the time to what I want using a mod? **

• Open the **`variables.conf`** file in the `Scripts` folder.
• There are several variables that can be set in the file (with instructions).
• Check the settings of **`dateSetEnabled`** and related variables.
• After making changes and saving the file, press the default **SHIFT + R** in-game to reload the file.
• Then press the key you set to manually change the date, and the date should change to the value you specified.

**How ​​to install? **

You need UE4SS to run this mod.

• Download a release version (preferably the stable version) and unzip it.
• You need two files: `UE4SS-settings.ini` and `xinput1_3.dll`, other files can be safely deleted.
• Place these two files into the following location of your Hogwarts Legacy installation directory: `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64`
