Hogwarts Legacy has a lot of magical game mechanics for players to discover in the wizarding world. Like most big games with hundreds of mods, this one is no exception. While being an Evil Wizard or discovering new beasts is fun, various mods can change the entire gameplay. With some mods, you can bring Spider-Man or other fictional characters to Hogwarts. You can also use mods to improve performance and fix issues like stuttering or freezing. But most players cannot download or install them. Don’t worry, check out our guide to installing mods in Hogwarts Legacy to find out.
How to Install Mods in Hogwarts Legacy
Since the launch of Hogwarts Legacy, players have been able to install dozens of mods. Although there is no official mod support in the game at the moment, you can download and install a few unofficial ones. For this, we suggest going to Nexus Mods as it is the safest and best source of mods.
So, here is how you can download and install mods:
- First, go to NexusMods or any other website to download mods. But be careful of Trojans or malicious viruses that may appear on other websites.
- Choose the appropriate mod to your liking and download it.
- Once you have downloaded the mod you want, open and read the Description or Readme text file. You will find instructions for installing this mod.
- Now there are two main ways to install these mods.
- You can copy and paste them into the default installation folder directory.
- Alternatively, you can use a third party mod manager to install these mods directly.
- After completing all the instructions, launch the game to get a new gaming experience.
But if you can’t find the description file for the instructions, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the default game files directory.
- Then go to the Phoenix > Content > Paks folder.
- You must unzip or extract the Mod folder to the Paks folder.
- Finally, launch the game to check your installed mods.
