The best quality of life mods forĀ Hogwarts Legacy

Pause the game during cutscenes inĀ Hogwarts Legacy

Simply titled “Game Pauser,” this mod from YouYouTheBoxx allows players to pause the gameĀ at any time inĀ Hogwarts Legacy, even during cutscenes.

You can find a link to the mod here.

Reset your talents (respec) in Hogwarts Legacy with a potion

You can’t respec inĀ Hogwarts Legacy, but this mod from SilentSean fixes that for it. It allows players to buy the formula for a respec potion from J. Pippin’s Potion shop in Hogsmeade.

Free flying in Hogsmeade

I’m freeeeee…free flyin’. Although there are likely lore and mechanical reasons to not allow flight in Hogsmeade, this mod from R457 changes that. Feel free to fly around at your leisure, and quickly move from the world map to Hogsmeade seamlessly.

Skip the Alohomora minigame

Although the Alohomora minigame does fit the glove of video game lock sequences, it’s also really annoying to do, well, over 100 times. Creator VTLI had the same idea, and this mod automatically skips the lock-picking sequence.

How to tell the Floo Flame lady to quiet down inĀ Hogwarts Legacy

This simple mod from creator Tangerie does what it says on the tin: it quiets down the Floo Flame lady (Ignatia Wildsmith), who only has a scant few lines of dialogue throughout the game.

The best performance mod How to fix PC performance issues in Hogwarts Legacy (FPS Drops, lag, etc)

Ascendio

This performance-based mod from creator Seifunaru is one of the most popular mods forĀ Hogwarts Legacy. It essentially overhauls the game to provide an improved framerate, and tweaks the engine for efficiency. It has since been updated with more feedback and fixes since launch.

The best cosmetic mods forĀ Hogwarts Legacy

A facial hair mod

While your player character is supposed to be a youngster within the storyline, you can sprout facial hair if you so choose with this mod from sir_galahad172.

Get the Elder Wand inĀ Hogwarts Legacy

Although you can play with the Elder Wand for a bit in a scripted sequence, you don’t get to keep it. This mod, also from creator sir_galahad172, changes that!

You can find a link to the mod here.

Remove all spider models fromĀ Hogwarts Legacy

NorskPL’s Arachnophobia mod is genius. Not only does it remove all of the spider character models from the game (including the really creepy ones!), it replaces them with cubes.

You can find a link to the mod here.

Swap your mount for a dragon

One of the flashiest mods out there lets you ride a full-on blazing dragon, swapping out the original Hippogryff skin. Amazingly, all the animations are changed out too.

A smaller, less 2023-open-world-video-game UI

Massive all-encompassing UIs haven’t just become meme fodder in recent years (thanks Ubisoft!): they’re also a reality. The aptly-named “Smaller UI” mod lets you remove and shrink down a lot of clutter.

You can find a link to the mod here.

An expanded character editor is a reality, thanks to modding

This character editor is fairly straightforward and allows you to add a little more theme to your adventure. The best part? You can use itĀ at any point in your game.
