// 01 Why
Moving a modded Hogwarts Legacy
Hogwarts Legacy mods are mostly .pak files in the game's ~mods folder: outfits, wands, lighting and gameplay tweaks. Rebuilding that on another PC means finding every download again.
With SyncCrate one PC hosts and the other matches it. Files are compared by content and only the differences are copied.

- Undo and history. Undo the last sync in one click, and put back any single file a sync replaced or deleted.

// 04 Common problems
When Hogwarts Legacy mods don't match
New PC, same mods
Collecting every mod again takes an evening.
Host on the old PC and sync from the new one.
Broken after a patch
Patches can break pak mods until they're updated.
Update on one PC and sync, and the other gets only the changed files.
Sharing with a friend
Zipping the folder every time you add a mod doesn't scale.
After the first sync only new files are copied.
