Unfortunately, there isn\u2019t any just yet. But if you\u2019re playing on PC then there are other ways to have fun\u2026<\/p>\n<p>When any big release comes out on PC, mods are inevitable. Remember when the cat from Stray had a CJ from San Andreas makeover?<\/p>\n<p>Hogwarts Legacy has had the same treatment, and then some. It look like it takes a week after a game\u2019s release for the modding community to work their magic (or curses). We have a few favourites already, and we\u2019ll share them below. We\u2019ll also walk you through how to use them.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to use mods in Hogwarts Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in downloading a mod for Hogwarts Legacy is choosing which website to use. There are plenty of mod sites out there. Nexus Mods is probably the most popular.<\/p>\n<p>On Nexus Mods (and other sites) there are usually apps to download to make installing mods easier. You\u2019ll usually have to make an account on the site to use it, though. So if you don\u2019t fancy that, here\u2019s how to install the mods manually:<\/p>\n<ul><li>Open File Explorer on your PC, and find Hogwarts Legacy\u2019s file.<\/li>\n<li>Once inside open the Phoenix file, then look for \u201cContent\u201d, and then for \u201cPaks\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Unzip the mod file that you\u2019ve downloaded, copy it, and paste it into the Paks folder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hopefully, after you\u2019ve followed these steps, the mod will be installed!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The best Hogwarts Legacy mods<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>And now for the mods themselves! We can\u2019t list them all (there are far too many) but we\u2019ll aim to cover the variety of what\u2019s available. From the practical to the downright absurd.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Thomas the Tank Engine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Hogwarts\" legacy=\"\" thomas=\"\" the=\"\" tank=\"\" engine=\"\" mod=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tz5cRDQiVns?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" web-share=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Speaking of the absurd, we\u2019ll start with Thomas the Tank Engine (who else?). The famous anthropomorphic train isn\u2019t exactly new to the modding community. He took the role of Mr X in the Resident Evil 2 remake a few years ago, and he\u2019s made an appearance in the wilderness of both Skyrim and Elden Ring.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s only fair that he now gets to fly around Hogwarts as a broom alternative. If that sounds like something you\u2019d like to do, <a href=\"\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/hogwartslegacy\/mods\/23&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">download the mod from Nexus Mods<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ascendio Mod<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Now for one of the more practical ones. The Ascendio Mod tweaks the settings of the game to make for a smoother experience. Hogwarts Legacy has a tendency to drop its frame rate on occasion, and the Ascendio Mod aims to fix that.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s becoming one of the most popular mods out there, so it might be worth giving it a try \u2013 especially if the lag is frustrating you. If the recent Hogwarts Legacy patch notes didn\u2019t do enough to smoothen your experience, you can <a href=\"\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/hogwartslegacy\/mods\/69&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">download that mod from Nexus Mods<\/a>.<\/p> <h3><strong>Arachnophobia<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As the name suggests, this is a mod for those scared of spiders. There are plenty of spiders around Hogwarts \u2013 some of them giant \u2013 which might be a bit much for some.<\/p>\n<p>Use this mod, and they\u2019ll all automatically be turned into blocks or boxes instead of looking like spiders. You can <a href=\"\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/hogwartslegacy\/mods\/19&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">download the mod from Nexus Mods<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Puzzle Door Answers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is more like an old-school Action Replay cheat than a typical mod, but it might be handy nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/hogwartslegacy\/mods\/109&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">download this mod from Nexus Mods<\/a> to quickly answer any of those tricksy <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-door-puzzle\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Hogwarts Legacy door puzzles<\/a> that you come across in the game.<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6312087194112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <h3><strong>Unlock Everything<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is another mod that makes up for the lack of official Hogwarts Legacy cheats. Who wouldn\u2019t want to get every single item in the game without having to spend a single Knut?<\/p>\n<p>Play out the ultimate power fantasy in Hogwarts Legacy without having to grind your way to the best Hogwarts Legacy gear. If you <a href=\"\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/hogwartslegacy\/mods\/14&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">download this mod from Nexus Mods<\/a>, you will get everything you could possibly want. But will it ever be enough?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Remove Fog<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This one is quite self-explanatory! <a href=\"\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/hogwartslegacy\/mods\/17&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Downloading this mod from Nexus Mods<\/a> will remove the distant fog so that you can see right into the distance.<\/p>\n<p>We think the fog adds to the mood of the game, but there\u2019s also an impressive view to be seen once it\u2019s gone. Definitely worth a look, even if it\u2019s temporary!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shrek Broom<\/strong><\/h3>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Hogwarts\" legacy=\"\" shrek=\"\" broom=\"\" part=\"\" how=\"\" to=\"\" install=\"\" mods=\"\" on=\"\" hogwarts=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ur_YleLFbV8?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" web-share=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Shrek has become an internet sensation over the last few years, as children of the millennium have turned their favourite ogre into the most absurd memes.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s no surprise that modders have created a broomstick shaped exactly like Shrek. Poor Shrek doesn\u2019t seem very alive as you glide around Hogwarts and the surrounding area on his back, but maybe he\u2019s just resigned to his fate.<\/p>\n<p>If this is the kind of deranged Hogwarts Legacy experience you want to create for yourself, you can <a href=\"\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/hogwartslegacy\/mods\/58&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">download the Shrek Broom mod from Nexus Mods<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t wait to see what other wacky ideas modders come up with for Hogwarts Legacy, but these are our favourites so far!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more on Hogwarts Legacy:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/hogwarts-legacy-review-harry-potter\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;
