Compatibility:
The mod requires base game, Realm of Magic, and Discover Unviersity. It has not been tested extensively for compatibility with other mods yet. Please start from a fresh save or back up your save before playing.
Note about custom venues:
Because of the way adding custom venues works, there will be issues using this mod with other mods that add custom venues. The Plumbeaux University Commons venue type is pending addition to the Basemental Universal Venue List. In the meantime, it's recommended to not use other custom venue mods with University of Magic, or please contact me for my own updated universal list.
Installation:
Unzip and drop the entire folder into the Mods folder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the new venues?
The mod doesn’t come with venues set up. The Plumbeaux Commons and University Housing venues need to be set up manually by you before they show up in the game.
Where/how do I set up the venues?
The venues can be set up in any world and on any lot through Build/Buy mode under “Lot Type”.
What are the “attractor” objects for?
The optional attractor objects are designed to help you fully customized your Plumbeaux Commons lot by drawing the professor NPCs to specific areas. So, for example, if you’d like the Professor of Herbology to hang out in the greenhouse, you place the attractor on the floor and she’ll gravitate towards that area.
How do I join a house?
You can join a house either by attending one of the scheduled events and asking one of the members or by asking one of the professor NPCs at the Plumbeaux Commons lot.
Hogsniffle - Herbology
Grizzlegat - Defense
Rookwing - Charms
Sniveleye - Potions
Can I set up custom professors?
The easiest way to set up custom professors is to enable cheats by opening the cheat console and entering:
-
testingcheats true
-
cas.fulleditmode
then shift-click on the professor you’d like to customize and click “Modify in CAS”.
Known issues:
Moving into University Housing can cause a UI crash if the household inventory has never been opened. Confirmed as a base game bug, not mod related.
Currently no way to join house before enrolment, making it impossible to move into any house-affiliated University Housing lots until second semester - will look for a way to fix this and make it possible! (non-affiliated University Housing still works)
Degrees all auto-accept until I finish balancing admissions requirements
Courses only build skills, not spells or spellcaster rank - will be added in future update
Next Beta Version
The next beta release will expand on the houses - more events and tasks, better sorting, etc.
