The main hub for mod postings and downloads is Nexus Mods. This website hosts numerous mods for all sorts of video games, one in particular being Hogwarts Legacy. Search for the game, and you will be able to spot pages upon pages of mods to choose from. Installing mods is quite simple, so follow the instructions below.

  1. Select a mod that you would like to download.
  2. Read the instructions in the mod’s ‘Description’ tab (most mods download the same but keep the instructions in mind).
  3. Select the ‘Files’ tab and select ‘Manual download’ on the file you want.
  4. Unzip the file downloaded.
  5. In ‘File Explorer’ search for the ‘Paks’ folder here: ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks’
  6. Drag the unzipped mod folder or the mods themselves into the ‘Paks’ folder.

The mod should now be playable once you boot up the game. One thing to note for visual mods: those usually require you to download ‘ReShade’ and allow it to have access to Hogwarts Legacy. ‘ReShade’ is a program that is used to improve the visual quality of your game. Otherwise, using this method to install Hogwarts Legacy mods should work with nearly all the mods available on Nexus Mods.

Hogwarts Legacy is available via Steam.
