• Download and install Ultra+ Mod Manager (UMM).
• Run the application, select **Hogwarts Legacy**, and click "Add Game".
• Once UMM is configured, to install or update Ultra+, click on the version number (which may appear as "Unknown" or in red if an update is available) on the Status tab or Installed Mods tab - this is the primary method.

*Note: Steps 1-3 only need to be performed on first use; thereafter simply select your game and click "Load Configuration". *

You can now configure mod settings in the Settings tab; this can also be done while the game is running, just press **F12** in-game to load the new settings. Launch the game via UMM's "Launch Game" button or your usual method.
