Introduction

This is an improved version of the classic Year Level mod.

The Year Level mod allows you to choose one of twelve different heights for the player, but it suffers from some flaws. The creator of that mod has not updated it for a year and hasn't replied to any user messages for a year either. I think it's fair to assume that they're never going to fix the problems.

I have therefore produced this new version with the following improvements:

• Height and head size can be adjusted up or down (in steps of 2%) to achieve whatever height or head size you want.
• Your chosen height and head size setting is preserved when you fast travel or load a game.
• Cutscene rescaling can now be toggled on/off at will (even while the cutscene is playing).
• Cloth physics no longer freaks out (mostly).
• Key bindings can be changed.

Installation

You should be able to install the mod automatically using Vortex (then skip to step 4 below), but Vortex can be a bit unreliable with Hogwarts Legacy mods (it doesn't always delete mods properly) so I would recommend installing it manually as follows:

• Download the mod.
• Unzip the contents.
• Move zPlayerHeight-1028_P.utoc, zPlayerHeight-1028_P.ucas, and zPlayerHeight-1028_P.pak to the Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\ folder.
• Install Blueprint Apparate Modloader if you haven't already.
• Start Hogwarts Legacy
• Load your most recent save-file.
• Press the F8 key to activate Blueprint Apparate Modloader.
• Type PlayerHeight in the little window and hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
• The word PlayerHeight should disappear and reappear lower down in that window with an X next to it. If it doesn't - if it stays on the top line - then either a) you put the .utoc, .ucas and .pak files in the wrong folder, or b) one of your existing mods is already using pakchunk 1028. Use my PakChunk Checker to check that. If you have a pakchunk conflict see the Conflicts section below.
• If it worked you should see a message on-screen saying that the mod has initialised.
• Press F8 again to close the modloader window.

Note that you only need to follow the above process once. From now on the mod will just work.
