Hogwarts Legacy Modding Guide

"GUIDE IS CURRENTLY OUTDATED DUE TO LATEST GAME UPDATE BUT WILL BE REVISITING AT A FUTURE DATE"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. My own reshade preset is also available for download in the files tab.

Requirements:

below are PC requirements that Avalanche Software recommends

Recommendations:

1. 7zip (recommended) or WinRAR since we'll be downloading many mods that require you have at least one.

2. 15GB of free drive space (not including the game install).

3. We'll be starting the game from a fresh install, which means you have to uninstall the game via either         Steam or Epic. Whichever place you purchased it.

Q: But TheWitch, I already have 100+ hours in the game so why should I???

A: You're free to use your previous save, but to get the most out of your experience, it's recommended to       start fresh as a new 5th year!

4. After uninstalling, make sure all traces of the game is removed from your drive. navigate to                   Steam/steamapps/common. If a Hogwarts Legacy folder is present, delete it.

5. Navigate to C:/Users/YourUserName/Appdata/Local/HogwartsLegacy/Saved/SavedGames/Filewithnumber.       For me that number is 130219447, but it might be different for you! Open that folder up and this is           where your save files are.

6. If you wish to backup your previous saves, now is your chance to do so. If not, then proceed to step 7.

Q: But I can't find the AppData folder! Help!

A: For Windows 10, in the upper left-hand corner of the window click on "View" then put a checkmark            beside "Hidden Items". For Windows 11, click the "View" button in the upper right-hand corner,                "Show", then "Hidden Items".

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

8. For some users, disabling HAGS (Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling) seems to solve many issues           related to crashing. keep in mind that disabling HAGS also
