do our nexus mods still work?

[coffeecuppss]

if you downloaded mods from other places will they still work in game?

This update ruined the whole game, so i am in the process of downgrading and trying to prevent future updates.. I just want to keep using my mods.

How do you do the downgrade ?

Can´t even launch, when I press on "play mods" the game crashes - actually in am installing again this thing

I'm glad I'm not the only one struggling with Nexus Mods not working.

The update breaks all 3rd party mods and forces the game to crash on detection. Seems like they pushed out this update to force the use of a proprietary mod manager that only allows mods that meet WB approval. And the EULA prohibits the use of mods that aren't approved by their mod manager.

Ironic enough using mods prior to this update the mods themselves took up way less space.

As an example the Female reshape mod should only be 18mb but through the manager this update introduced it's 250ish MB. Very unnecessary.

Not only that you have to go through an additional menu to load up a modded save as opposed to just loading your regular save file.

I'm curious if some of the more popular cosmetic/makeup mods will be added but if not then that's going to upset some people.

Wait, hold on, so EVEN IF the mods are updated, we'll STILL need to use them through this stupid ass spyware pos menu thing?
Hoooly... If that's true, I don't think I've seen ANYONE piss on customer goodwill as hard as them recently. Amazing. I am an idiot for buying this YESTERDAY, and I got the deluxe version, too.

List of working/broken mods https://www.reddit.com/r/HogwartsLegacyGaming/comments/1idyxc0/list_of_nexus_mods_working_and_broken_post_130/

anything that replaces the character hair, clothes, etc. files from nexus will cause the game to crash. (even if the game doesn't crash at launch it will crash when you select them). Bean Deers House Makeup is the only one that works that i had installed pre-update. Character editor, story mode toggler, stand up straight, and whatever's in my merged mods seem to work fine so far. Outfit tool is glitched.

not everything! many clothes and body mods still work, for example Lily Face Replacement and Party Like It's 1890 clothes pack still work! Make sure to individually check your mods before deeming them unusable!

I'm still using Fairy Light, Broom mouse control, Apparition.

Any mods from nexus that change skeletal such as preset replacements will crash the game, but for me UI mods and upscale (Mini-map for me) won't crash the game. Hope this helps

I am glad I physically copied the installed files to an external hard drive, just in case something like this happened. My game is heavily modded, including some mods that make the game more realistic when it comes to the kind of people living in the UK in the late 19 hundreds. I know for a fact that they will not get approved by WB, so I'll just not update. ♥♥♥♥ em.

For all those folks who have not yet updated the game. Do the following.

First go to settings of the game, Properties and then set it to only download when you launch the game. And then every time you play the game, go into offline mode before you launch it.

Also, just in case, back up your game files, just in case.

I did that with Elden Ring as well, cause I use an older version, due to the Coop mod of yonder being far more stable.

Fortunately I expected them to eventually ♥♥♥♥ us over, so I took precautions.

You are correct, but if you let the game update, you can go offline (disconnect internet and put Steam in offline just in case), then delete EVERYTHING in the HW legacy steamapps folder, then paste the old files inside the now empty directory, then go online and modify the appmanfiest for Hogwarts Legacy to read-only and you can launch the game in normal online mode without an update being forced on you. I guarantee it works, I am doing it right now, I'm still modding MY game since I got it the day before the moronic update.
Just on each quit out of the game set the appmanifest to read-only again, Steam has some weird write priviliges and at least on Linux keeps overwriting the permissions, but it doesn't matter and it's like 1 second of work.
Scr ew devs/publishers telling you what mods you will and will not use.
