In many ways, mods are like magic. With a few magic words, players can transform Hogwarts Legacy into something completely new or adjust different aspects to better suit their desires. However, just like magic, not everyone knows how to do it but luckily, modders are more than willing to share their work with the masses. Whether you want to improve performance, make the game more accessible, or just have a laugh, here are the 10 best mods for Hogwarts Legacy and how to install them.

The best mods for Hogwarts Legacy
Ascendio
While it’s not the most exciting mod, we’re starting with Hogwarts Legacy’s performance mods, considering how difficult the game can be for some PC gamers. Ascendio is an unofficial fps enhancement that improves performance by applying Unreal Engine parameters to the game. In short, the mod tweaks things like CPU and GPU communication, enforces frame termination, ensures texture flow is as optimal as possible, and minimizes stuttering.
Hogwarts Legacy Realism Reshade Better Textures 2023
The Hogwarts Legacy Realism Overhaul Reshade Better Textures 2023 mod reshades the game to make the colors of the world more prominent, as well as the lighting, to make environments much more vibrant and visually appealing.
Wand Movements
Fans of books and movies know that naming a spell is actually a small part of the magic. The point is all about wand movements, and this mouse-move spell mode helps you recreate that experience by mapping your spells to movements instead of buttons. This mod will certainly not make the game easier, but it will make it much more immersive and satisfying to master.
Broom Mode
Flying your broom has to be one of the most exciting and fun parts of being a witch or wizard. Still, on PC at least, the default controls for your vacuum leave much to be desired. Fortunately, the mouse controls for the broom mode let you control your flight with the mouse instead of the awkward keyboard controls. This gives you a lot more control over your movements, which is a pretty good mod for some tricky parts of the game.
Alohamora Mode
With the Alohomora mod, almost everything you could ever want in Hogwarts Legacy is unlocked right from the start. This includes all enchantments, gear, broom upgrades, items, fast travel locations, and more. This mod only works when starting a new game, so you cannot add it to an existing file. But considering how strong you will be, you can immediately go back to the beginning.
Arachnophobia Mode
Many games feature spiders as the enemy despite being one of the most common fears in the world. Giant spiders are even worse and can trigger anxiety even when encountered in a game. If your fear of spiders makes this game difficult to play, the Arachnophobia mod completely replaces all those creepy creeps with pet boxes.
Elder Wand Mod
When we saw that you could customize your wand at Hogwarts Legacy, many thought you could get some of the most iconic wand designs in the series. It was such a disappointment that perhaps the most famous and important wand in the series was nowhere to be found. The Elder Wand mod fixes this by giving you the most powerful wand the wizarding world has ever seen (at least in appearance. It still works like your regular wand).
Thomasbroom
At this point, we’re assuming that somehow a Thomas the Tank Engine mod arrives for every game released on PC. In this case, the Thomasbroom mod turns your broom into the classic blue train to fly around the world. Thomas’ model is a bit different and simple, yet it has nothing to spoil the game.
Beard Mode
Sure, you’re technically just a young witch or wizard when you arrive at Hogwarts, but that severely limits your ability to pretend to be yourself if you’re a little older. This is another rough mod, but if you want your character to have any kind of beard, this is the best mod you can get.
Shrek Broom Mode
If you are a fan of Shrek, you should know that there is a mod where you can replace your broom with Shrek. This mod is extremely fun and looks great. We definitely recommend you to try it.
