- Permissions and credits
(Edit: 8/19/23)
While I am no longer able to update or continue support for this mod at this time, there is some good news:
Many users have reported that it's still very much usable after manually merging with Hogwarts Mod Merger.
If you attempt to do this please read carefully the instructions stated in the description of their program, specifically the
"merging outdated mods" section. You may also be able to find additional support by following
the instructions others have provided in previous comments, but understand that your mileage may vary.
Thank you to everyone who took it upon themselves to assist others in the comments during my hiatus!
I apologize to those who were unable to get my mod to work correctly, and my lack of support.
Only Shiny Beasts will cause all capturable beasts to spawn as their rare shiny variant
or your choice of other balanced options
Effected Beasts:
Diricawl
Fwooper
Giant Purple Toad
Graphorn
Hippogriff
Jobberknoll
Kneazle
Mooncalf
Niffler
Puffskein
Thestral
Unicorn
Uneffected Beast:
Phoenix (Has no shiny variant)
File Types:
Main File
Only Shiny Beasts
All beasts have a 100% chance to spawn as their rare shiny variant
Optional File
Equally Shiny Beasts
All beasts have an equal likelihood of being any of their color options (including shiny)
This means if a beast has 4 colors it could be, including their shiny, each color has a 25% chance to occur
If a beast has 2 colors it could be, including their shiny, each has a 50% chance to occur
Optional File
Some Shiny Beasts
All beasts have a 10% - 15% increased chance of spawning as a shiny
This is the most balanced and true to the base game while still increasing the chance of a shiny spawn
Installation:
Unzip the .pak file into your ~mods folder (default location is HogwartsLegacy/Phoenix/Content/Paks/~mods)
If ~mods folder doesn't exist, create it.
Compatibility:
This mod makes changes to the PhoenixShipData.sqlite file and may require being merged with other mods before it will work.
The tool for this can be found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/hogwartslegacy/mods/178
!! Important !!
Already loaded beasts will still be their previous variant. This mod will only change beasts that spawn after installation.
Either wait a while for the old beasts to despawn or force a spawn location to reset.
You can force a spawn location to create new bests by following these steps:
Catch the old beasts (Either sell or set free)
Fast travel away
Open map and use the wait function
Save game
Load that same save
Once you return to the spawn location all beasts should be shiny.
If ~mods folder doesn't exist, create it.
