We will use a dedicated directory for our P4G modding tools. If you ever need to create a file backup, take a screenshot, or write down a note, save it in this folder to stay organized.
- P4G Mods folder: A unified folder for your P4G modding setup.There are four folders in the P4G Mods folder:
- .Reloaded II: This folder contains the Reloaded II mod loader. You'll learn more about it soon!
- Backups: Use this folder to store any important files or folders you want to save.
- Notes: Use this folder to store any information you think is worth keeping.
- Setup: This folder contains the Persona Prerequisite Installer that downloads and installs the runtimes your modding tools need.
- Unzip your downloaded P4G CEP archive.
- Open the unzipped archive and locate the P4G Mods folder inside.
What you do next depends on whether you already have a P4G Mods folder from a previous P4G CEP installation on your PC.

I already have a P4G Mods folder
- Move the P4G Mods folder to a suitable location on your PC.
We recommend creating a new top-level directory such as C:\Mods and placing your P4G Mods folder inside it.
- In a new window, open your old P4G Mods folder that was already on your PC.
- Copy just the .Reloaded II and Setup folders from the new P4G Mods folder to your old P4G Mods folder.
Double-check your folder path!
Make sure your P4G Mods folder is NOT in any of these locations:
- OneDrive
- Program Files / Program Files (x86)
- The Downloads, Documents, or Desktop folders
- The Music, Pictures, or Videos folders
- Any Steam or Steam library folder
- The Persona 4 Golden game folder
If your P4G Mods folder is in one of these locations, you must move it to a different location before continuing. As mentioned above, we recommend C:\Mods.
Do not skip this step, even if you've already done this before!
The prerequisite installer regularly gets updated with the latest runtimes that contain performance and security fixes.
There are a few core runtime libraries that our modding tools require to run.
You can install them automatically or manually.
- Runtime: A library of functions and instructions that your PC executes while a program is running. Many games and programs share the same common runtimes.
Automatic Installation
Manual Installation
We recommend using the included Persona Prerequisite Installer program to download and install the prerequisites. It's easy, fast, and open-source!
- Open your P4G Mods\Setup folder and launch Install_Prerequisites.exe.
A console window will appear and the Prerequisite Installer will download the latest configuration data.
- When prompted, press Enter to begin.
The Prerequisite Installer will review what prerequisites will be downloaded and installed.
- Press Enter to continue.
The Prerequisite Installer will present the Terms of Use for the software.
- If you accept the Terms of Use, type y into the console window and press Enter.
The Prerequisite Installer can run in Quiet Mode or Manual Mode.
- Review the description of each mode in the console window, then type quiet or manual into the console window and press Enter.
The Prerequisite Installer will download and either install or prompt you to install each of the necessary prerequisites, one at a time.
For your safety, every installer is verified with a SHA-512 checksum provided by Microsoft before anything is executed on your PC.
If the Prerequisite Installer says All finished!, the prerequisites have installed successfully!
- If the console window says Please restart your PC to complete the installation of ___ prerequisite(s), press Enter to close the Prerequisite Installer, then restart your PC before continuing.
- Otherwise, simply press Enter to close the Prerequisite Installer and move on.
If you do not want to use the Prerequisite Installer, you can manually download and install the prerequisites on your own.
- Make sure all of these prerequisites are installed before continuing:
