Getting Started

Requirements and initial setup.

P4G CEP was finalized on 19 April 2025.

The pack still works, but it will no longer receive updates or support. Information on these pages may be outdated.

See the Final Release FAQ for more information.

p4g.cep.one will go offline on 31 December 2027.

P4G CEP will still be available for download on GameBanana and Nexus Mods. A complete archive of this site is now included with the project.

Requirements

• A registered installation of 64-bit Windows 11 or Windows 10

  • Windows 10 will no longer be supported October 2025

P4G CEP is also available for the Steam Deck.

Open the p4g-cep-deck-docs.wacz file for installation instructions.

• An unmodified installation of Persona 4 Golden from Steam

  • Only English text language is supported

  • Both English and Japanese voices are supported

• At least 7 GB of free space on your hard drive

The following platforms are not supported:

• Console releases of P4 or P4G

• The Microsoft Store / PC Game Pass release of P4G

• Mac or Linux desktop PCs

We do not provide support for pirated copies of the game.

Show File Extensions

By default, Windows Explorer hides the extensions of file types it recognizes (.EXE, .PNG, etc.).

It's important that these be visible when setting up mods or asking for support, so we will make sure Windows always shows file extensions for all file types.

Windows 11

• Open a File Explorer window (it doesn't matter where).

• Click the View button at the top of the window.

• Click Show > File name extensions.

Windows 10

• Open a File Explorer window (it doesn't matter where).

• Click the View tab at the top of the window.

• Check the box labelled File name extensions if it is not checked already.

Upgrade from Older P4G CEP

If this is your first time using P4G CEP, skip this step.

If you are upgrading from an older version of P4G CEP, you will need to delete some legacy modding files to make way for the new ones.

Follow the instructions below based on what version of P4G CEP you were using before:

• Follow the instructions in Upgrade P4G CEP to get the latest v13 mods.

12.x – 11.x

Delete Old Reloaded II + Setup Folders

• Delete the .Reloaded II folder and Setup folder inside.

Delete Old Reloaded II + Setup Folders

• Open your old P4G Mods folder.

Aemulus Package Manager is no longer used for modding P4G on PC - we now use a new mod loader called Persona Essentials that works with all of the PC Persona games directly through Reloaded II.

Keep your Aemulus folder if you are still using it to mod Persona 5 Strikers or one of the console/emulated Persona games; otherwise, you can delete it.
