The Top Ten Best Hogwarts Legacy Mods
Unfortunately, only PC players have access to mods so far. This is through the Nexus Mods site but is unsupported by Hogwarts Legacy. This means you can download mods but must do so at your own risk as these may affect your save game.
The following Mods are our favourites so far.
Ascendio Hotfix

Perhaps less glamorous or exciting than other entries in our list, this mod applies a hotfix to PC versions of the game. The mod is currently the most downloaded of all Hogwarts Legacy mods via Nexus and promises to boost performance across PC games.
In response to the multitude of complaints from PC players, the mod by Seifunaru helps fix some of the framerate and stuttering issues. Essentially it is the largest quality-of-life improvement mod on Nexus currently.
Silencio

Finally, is now possible to silence the Floo waypoints in the game. Ignatia Wildsmith, although a talented witch is the most persistent chatterbox in the game. Whenever you fast-travel via Floo powder in the game she will recite one of three pre-recorded lines at you. This gets tiresome rather quickly if you're handing in multiple quests at once. With this mod by Tangerie, you can cut the dialogue lines from your game.
Talent Reset Potion
