FAQ
Answers to frequently asked questions.
This page is for answers to general questions about P4G CEP.
For assistance with common issues during setup, refer to the Troubleshooting page.
Getting Started
Is P4G CEP a good choice for first-time players?
Yes. We've worked with the modding community to carefully select mods that create a "vanilla-plus" game experience.
There are a few small changes we've made to the game balance and mechanics to reduce frustration or reliance on random chance, but this is not a total overhaul pack. If you don't want to use these balance tweaks, you can disable them yourself in Reloaded Ii.
Can I use P4G CEP in the middle of my playthrough, without starting a new game?
Yes. P4G CEP is fully compatible with unmodded P4G save data.
You can start using P4G CEP at any time from an unmodded playthrough, and you can stop using P4G CEP at any time to go back to playing unmodded.
Can I use P4G CEP with the Nintendo Switch version of P4G? Can I use P4G CEP with the Microsoft Store version of P4G? Can I use P4G CEP on Steam Deck?
Sorry, but no. Our mods and tools only support the Steam version of the game on Windows.
Can I still earn Steam achievements and trading cards while using P4G CEP?
Yes. You can still earn every achievement in the game and trading cards will drop.
Note that the Ultimate Persona Compendium Registration mod makes it so that the protagonist's ultimate Persona will count towards 100% completion of the Persona Compendium and the Thorough Bookkeeper achievement.
In order to earn this achievement, you will need to fuse this Persona in New Game+.
Will I be banned from P4G's online features for using mods or cheats?
No. As far as we know, nobody has ever been banned from P4G's online features for playing with mods or cheats.
Installation
Should I install the Large Address Aware patch / 4GB Patch onto P4G.exe?
No. You haven't needed that patch for years!
The original v1.0 build of 32-bit P4G was very unstable - even if you just took a screenshot, it would overload its 2 GB of addressable memory and crash!
Users would install the Large Address Aware patch onto P4G 1.0. This would let the game address 4 GB of memory instead of 2 GB, reducing out-of-memory crashes.
Atlus noticed this problem and responded - P4G 1.1 was still 32-bit, but it baked the patch into the base executable to allow it to address 4 GB of memory.
And finally, the 64-bit update allows P4G to address 16,000,000,000 GB of memory!
Playing P4G
How do I open the configuration menu for Custom Sub Menu?
In any overworld area, open the sub menu.
Xbox: X PlayStation: Square Nintendo: Y Keyboard: F
With the sub menu open, press the Command Menu button.
Xbox: Y PlayStation: Triangle Nintendo: X Keyboard: Tab
Where is the Mod Menu option in Custom Sub Menu?
The Mod Menu tool is designed for mod developers to test their mods and was never intended or tested for end users. However, a number of users have attempted to use it as a "cheats menu" and ended up breaking their save data, sometimes irreversibly.
The Mod Menu is hidden by default in P4G CEP. There is a way to re-enable it, but we do not recommend it for end users as we cannot help you if you break your save.
Other
I found a really cool mod, please put it in the pack?
Eh, close enough.
Chances are that if you've seen a new P4G mod on GameBanana, we've seen it too, and we're either deciding whether it's a good fit for P4G CEP, checking if it's compatible with P4G CEP, or asking the mod creator if it's okay to include it.
We're always open to suggestions, though—if you drop a comment on GameBanana or Nexus Mods, or a suggestion on GitHub, we'll make sure to read it and get back to you.
What happened to the CEP Discord server? Where can I get updates and support now?
Updates and support were moved to the GitHub issue tracker in June 2024.
Using GitHub instead of Discord lets users browse open issues and answered questions without signing into an account or joining a server.
If you still want to use Discord for support, check out the Persona Modding server.
