Spiders in Hogwarts Legacy are a true nightmare for players who have Arachnophobia; here’s a mod that can help you get rid of them.
How to install Arachnophobia Mode in Hogwarts Legacy
First, go to Nexus Mods. If you have already signed up, you can go to the mod page and download Arachnophobia by NorskPL right away. If you haven’t signed up yet, all you have to do is create a new account and then use the link above to download the file.
Next, you’ll need 7zip to get the file out of its package. If you don’t already have it, you can get the unpacking software for Windows, Linux, or MacOS by downloading it.
Once 7zip is installed, look in your Downloads folder or wherever you saved the Arachnophobia Mode mod you downloaded from Nexus. Normally, the name will be Remove Spiders, followed by a string of numbers denoting the version.
Right-click the zipped folder, hover over the 7zip option to bring up a new menu, and select Extract to “Remove Spiders”. When you open the new folder, you will see another folder called Phoenix. Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X will copy or cut it.
Now, go to the folder where Hogwarts Legacy was installed. Open your Steam Library, right-click Hogwarts Legacy in the menu on the left, and click Preferences.
Choose Local Files from the new menu that appears, and you will see a Browse… option in the upper right corner of the window. Click on it.
Steam has now opened the installation folder for you; simply copy and paste the Phoenix folder into it and you’re done.
How to uninstall Arachnophobia Mode in Hogwarts Legacy
If you ever want to uninstall the mod, go back to the last step of installation and navigate to the game’s installation folder.
Navigate to the Phoenix folder -> Content -> Paks -> mods, and then delete the following files:
- z_removespiders_P.pak
- z_removespiders_P.ucas
- z_removespiders_P.utoc
The game should now behave as if the mod was never installed.
That’s all there is to installing and uninstalling Arachnophobia mode in Hogwarts Legacy.
