Introduction
When you unlock a locked door the padlock flies off and the door can be opened. But when you come back later you'll sometimes find that the door has locked again (i.e. refuses to open) and the padlock hasn't respawned so you have no way to unlock it. The door to the Headmaster's balcony, for example.
This mod will unlock those doors.
Please note that this mod will only open bugged doors. To open locked doors use Skip Alohomora or Open All Locks.
Installation
I would recommend installing the mod manually as described below. You should be able to install the mod automatically using Vortex if you like (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 beware!
- Download the mod.
- Unzip the contents.
- Move the .utoc, .ucas, and .pak files 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 OpenBuggedDoors in the little window and hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
- The word OpenBuggedDoors 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 1045. Use my PakChunk Checker to check that. If you have a pakchunk conflict see the Conflicts section below.
- Press F8 again to close the modloader window.
Usage
- Hit ALT-o if you encounter a bugged door. You should hear a lock-opening sound and the door should swing open.
- Hit CTRL-o instead if you have Anytime Companion installed.
EITHER: If you installed it via Vortex: Disable or Uninstall it via Vortex. BUT also CHECK that it's gone from the ~mods folder afterwards.
OR: Delete the .utoc, .ucas, and .pak files from the ~mods folder.
Conflicts
This mod uses pakchunk 1045. You can check if that conflicts with any of your existing mods by running my PakChunk Checker batch script after you've installed this mod. If it does conflict, you can fix it using the Chunk ID Conflict Manager.
