If you're curious about this mod or interested in installing and trying it out for yourself in-game, the mod is available through Nexus Mods for you to install. First, navigate to the mod's page, and read the instructions before downloading and unzipping the files and copying them directly to the game's location folder: Game Directory\Phoenix\Content\Paks\mods.

Once installed, the mod will replace the Moon Trimmer broomstick in the game. According to the mod's creator, some technical issues are experienced with the mod once it's installed and used in-game.

How To Uninstall Thomas The Tank Engine Mod In Hogwarts Legacy

Much like the Shrek broom mod, you can uninstall it if you have too much fun steam-rolling residents of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade as the friendly tank engine. The process is as straightforward to achieve as you'll need to locate the game's Steam directory folders once more.

As listed above, use the folder location, Game Directory\Phoenix\Content\Paks\mods, and within the game's folder, find three folders labeled "ThomasBroom." Once you've found these specific folders, all you need to do is delete them to remove the mod from your PC altogether, and if you wish to reinstall them, you may need to re-download them.
