Hey everyone, check the mod page, i've just added a video for instructions. If any update on the usage for load/save/backup ever happens, i'll upload a new video on how to use the mod.
What I really need is a way to un-"collect" a chest I know I have not collected but the game is showing open in error in the moonstone cave... ugh gonna have to just use the other editor to choose a random spellcraft to unlock instead after I'm done...
Please note that WB Games changed the format of the save files back in May so NONE of the save-game editors work any more, including this one. Fortunately everything the save-game editors did can now be achieved using the Character Editor or SQL Mod Menu (though the latter is quite complicated).
This mod is now working again, you just have to decompress your save file first using the Hogwarts Legacy Save Tool, then recompress it once you're done editing. Instructions are in the description of the save tool.
Not the mod creator. Gender should eventually be doable, but no save editor is going to adjust in game height, as that is not an appearance parameter the player controls. But a save game editor would only ever edit stuff that you set when you create a new game (name, gender, face model, complexion, scars, etc.)
Mods that swap gender are feasible eventually, but getting the NPCs to refer to you as he or she instead of they/them is another matter entirely.
The game devs had to appease the tiny but VERY vocal 1% of our society or they would've had a PR nightmare.
Either that or they didn't want to have to record 2 sets of lines of dialogue based on gender choice with the VAs to save money. Either way this whole they/them thing is immersion breaking and annoying AF. None of that existed IRL in the 1890s, therefore it shouldn't be in the game
Pyro, far far more than 1% of the population stands up for equal rights of all lgbtq, 60-70% of Americans. I am not lgbtq and support them 100%. And you are wrong, lgbtq has always existed as long as mankind has. Homosexuality is seen in a myriad of animal species, not only humans. Trans is also natural, many species switch sex. Scientific fact.
Can you make a update version that can edit the story were we can skip the park were you buy stuff at the shops because whenever I buy stuff the game crashes if you can make a story edit were you can change what part of the story you are in.
OK, I get that the save file format changed in May, but can anyone tell me why this seems to have defeated the collective knowhow of the entire modding community, to the point that there have been no updates or new versions since then?
We had very little information to go on. The data was completely scrambled. The format suggested it was an Unreal Engine format file of some sort, but that was all we could see. It turned out the the SQL database inside the save files had been compressed in chunks using the oodle compression system. Now that we've figured that out we've been able to create a tool to decompress it. The save editors now work again, if you use the Hogwarts Legacy Save Tool to decompress them first (and then recompress them once you're done editing so that the game will load your edited version). We've only created a CLI tool so far, but @katt is working on a GUI which will be much easier to use.
I have a solution for people that are struggling with editing their save files due to the update of May.
You can download the 'SQL' menu at Nexus for Hogwarts Legacy. It's up-to-date and still works. It allows you to do almost everything (sometimes even more e.g. unlock all wand handles) the save file editor does - but in-game. No need to copy/paste something.
So, download SQL menu as an alternative. It works!

I'd like to try to make a savegame program.
Can you tell me where did you fine a file description ?
Thankyou in advance for any help.
