📋 About This Mod
"GUIDE IS CURRENTLY OUTDATED DUE TO LATEST GAME UPDATE BUT WILL BE REVISITING AT A FUTURE DATE"
This is a guide for Hogwarts Legacy that will transform your experience at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I've included a list of my favorite mods that touches on many aspects of the game. From visuals, to performance, clothing, UI improvements and even bugfixes.

Requirements:

7. Delete the Hogwarts Legacy folder (C:/Users/YourUserName/Appdata/Local/Hogwarts Legacy)
