Final Steps
Wrap up installation and play Persona 4 Golden!
Before starting the game, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Save the game often and use all of the save slots. You get 16 of them for a reason!
- We recommend saving every night or every other night at the Dojima residence.
- Some users have experienced stuttering while playing Persona games with mods.
- This is a side effect of the bind directory method Persona Essentials uses to load mods.
- The creator of Persona Essentials is working on an update that will use a virtual filesystem instead of a bind directory to load mods, which should fix stuttering for all users.
To play P4G with mods, you must always start the game with Reloaded II.
Just clicking the Play button in Steam will not inject any mods.
You can create a desktop shortcut to quickly launch P4G with mods without having to open the entire Reloaded II application every time.
- If you want this, select Create Shortcut under the Actions section of Reloaded II.

A shortcut will be created on your Desktop that will let you quickly launch P4G with Reloaded II.

- Click Launch Application in Reloaded II or double-click your desktop shortcut to launch P4G.
Mods will not be injected if you just click the Play button in Steam.
You must always start the game through one of the following methods:
- Clicking Launch Application in Reloaded II
- If you see the text "MOD LOADER ENABLED" on the title screen, your mods are working!

You're ready to play Persona 4 Golden!
