Skip Intro Save Game (Moment before Sorting Hat)

🎮 **Start your Hogwarts journey quickly! ** Tired of having to go through the lengthy opening story every time you start a new game? This archive is for you!

✨ Module function

This save will allow you to skip directly to the Sorting Hat Ceremony, eliminating all the lengthy intro cutscenes and prologue missions. You can experience sorting, choose a college, and start your magical adventure right away!

  • 🧙 **Character setting**: The character in the archive is a **white male**.
  • 🛠️ **Customization Options**: If you want to change the gender or appearance of your character, you can use character editing modules such as **CharacterEditor** to make modifications.
  • ⏭️ **Time Saving**: Very suitable for players who want to quickly experience different academy plots, test new modules, or simply don’t want to watch the opening animation again and again.

💾 How to use

  • Download the archive file provided by this module.
  • Find your "Hogwarts Legacy" PC version save folder, usually located in one of the following paths:
  • `C:\Users\yourusername\Saved Games\HogwartsLegacy\SavedGames`
  • `C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Phoenix\Saved\SaveGames`
  • Place the downloaded archive file into the above folder.
  • Start the game and select this new archive in the loading interface!

💡 Usage suggestions and experiences

  • **Archive Backup**: Before use, it is recommended to back up your own original archive, just in case.
  • **Multi-week tool**: If you want to try the common rooms and exclusive tasks of different houses (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff), using this archive can greatly save repetitive time.
  • **MOD TESTING**: For modders or players who like to try a lot of game mods, this is a clean, close-to-game starting point for testing.

🌟 **Load now, skip the wait and start your magical school year straight away! **

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.
