Best Hogwarts Legacy mods to download in 2025

Hogwarts Legacy now has official mod support, and there are a lot of different mods to choose from so we’ve got a curated list of some of the very best ones below.

Mods are a fantastic way to adjust a game to your liking, whether it’s to improve performance, the overall gameplay experience, or simply to cause some chaos with something comedic. 

It’s no surprise an open-world title like Hogwarts Legacy is popular with modders given all the locations to explore, puzzles to solve, and spells to learn. It can be overwhelming trying to choose some though, so we’ve got you covered with some of the best picks in 2025.

Ascendio

One of the most reported issues with Hogwarts Legacy on PC is its FPS drops. Countless players face unexplained drops in the game framerate which causes crashes and general frustration.

Luckily, there’s a mod to help fix the issue. It can grant your game a performance boost by applying Unreal Engine parameters to help things run more smoothly which enhances your overall experience.

WeMod Cheats Hogwarts Legacy mod

As typically goes with WeMod and fans of franchises like GTA, this system allows you to access an array of cheats like unlimited health, free items, and one-hit kills. 

WeMod gives you an easy way to quickly toggle different cheats on and off so you can adjust your experience on the fly without having to pause your playthrough for too long. 

From multiplying the EXP you earn, to being able to brew potions without the use of materials, there’s a cheat in this pack for every kind of witch or wizard.

It’s worth noting that this mod is only available for Steam and Epic Games players to use.

Realism Overhaul Reshade

While Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t look bad at all on PC, especially when you’ve got the recommended system requirements, sometimes you may just want some more light, reflection, and general beauty to take in as you explore the Hogwarts grounds and beyond. 

This reshade mod gives the game a nice realistic design without fundamentally changing the way it all works. If you just want a little graphical boost to make the world even more immersive, this is the mod for you.

Smaller UI

An open-world exploration game like Hogwarts Legacy can draw a player in, keeping them engrossed in the story and enthralled by the expansive world around them. However, a large UI can easily draw them straight back out. After all, no one wants a cluttered screen when flying around on a Broom.

This Smaller UI helps eliminate those frustrations, drastically making your screen clearer while ensuring you still have access to everything you may need. It may be a simple premise but it’s a wonderful mod nonetheless.

Mouse gesture to spell

There’s a lot of magic to learn in Hogwarts Legacy from beloved spells like Expecto Patronum to the Unforgivable Curses. Activating them with the bound button on your keyboard is great for speed, but it doesn’t really feel like you’re actually casting them.

Luckily, there’s a mod that programs your mouse into your wand. This allows you to use the gestures you learn to cast spells whenever you like. It may be a little more complicated but few can deny how fun it is to wave your mouse around your desk like a wand as you play.

Mouse control for Broom

This is similar to the spell mod above but instead of casting magical attacks with your mouse, you can completely control your Broom as you’re flying around the world. 

It can ultimately make you feel more in control and steadier as you take to the skies.

Companions mod

As Hogwarts Legacy is a single-player experience, wandering around the Halls of the castle and undertaking quests by yourself can get lonely at times. So, why not have a companion to help you in battle and explore the world with?

This companions mod lets you pick a companion to join you, from professors to classmates, and even Ominus Gaunt. Your new friend will follow you, cast Lumos, and fight alongside you in battle.

First-person and customizable cameras

Sure, Hogwarts Legacy looks fantastic on its own, even if it is third person – but sometimes you just want to be even more enveloped in the world and truly feel like the character you’ve created.

This is where the first-person mod comes in. It might not be perfect but it allows you to truly feel part of the Wizarding World and also gives players a chance to make sure their camera is exactly how they like it.

Character Editor

This cosmetic mod lets you easily edit your character’s appearance and their wand on the fly. It’s got an array of options from changing your Hogwarts House, your hairstyle, the style of your wand, and even your first and last name if you want. 

If you find yourself getting a bit bored of your character’s design during your playthrough this is a great mod to have on hand.

Authomora Auto Skip Alohomora

Lockpicking is featured in a lot of games these days and in Hogwarts Legacy, it takes the form of the Alohomora minigame. Whether you enjoy puzzles or not, lockpicking can be frustrating, however, so having the option to bypass them is ideal.

The Alohomora Auto Skip mod thankfully does just that, letting you open all those pesky locked doors without having to spend time solving each one.

NPCs schedule enhanced (Better AI)

Hogwarts is packed full of professors, and students but it can still feel a bit empty due to the way the AI acts. This mod completely overhauls named NPC schedules injecting some more life into the day-to-day in and around the castle. 

People will go to classes at certain times, and head to breakfast and dinner in The Great Hall. Students will also go to their common rooms at night, and travel into Hogsmede at weekends. Vendors in Hobsmede will also shut their shops at night, adding a bit more realism to the way the world works.
