Create Steam Shortcut

Create a shortcut to launch P4G with mods.

If you were to launch P4G now, Reloaded II would not launch and your mods would not be injected into the game. We need to create a shortcut to launch Reloaded II and have it load the game for us.

Don't worry—Steam will continue tracking your play time, achievements, and cloud saves.

Some controllers may not work if P4G is launched from a Steam shortcut. If this happens, you will need to launch P4G from the Reloaded II application.

Add Reloaded II to Steam

Open Steam Window

  • Open Steam and go to your game Library.

  • At the top of the window, select Games > Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library...

Add Executable Path

  • In the Add Non-Steam Game window that appears, select Browse... to open a file picker window.

  • Navigate to Reloaded-II.exe in your P4G-Mods\_Reloaded-II folder.

  • Select Reloaded-II.exe, then click Open in the bottom-right corner.

Make sure to select Reloaded-II.exe and not Reloaded-II32.exe.

A program called Reloaded-II should now be in the Add Non-Steam Game menu with a check next to it.

  • If you can't see Reloaded-II in the menu, scroll down until you do.

  • Click the box next to Reloaded-II to check it if it is not checked.

  • Once you've confirmed Reloaded-II is present and checked, select Add Selected Programs.

You will now have a new shortcut in Steam for Reloaded II:

Configure Shortcut Properties

We don't just want this shortcut to launch Reloaded II, we want it to run P4G with our mods!

  • Right-click Reloaded-II in your Steam library and select Properties…

Customize Shortcut

  • In the Shortcut tab, rename Reloaded-II.exe to Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded).

  • Click the empty square next to the shortcut name to open the Choose Icon file picker.

    • Navigate to your P4G-Mods\Artwork folder and select icon.png.

Adjust Launch Options

This will make Reloaded II launch P4G instead of just launching itself.

You'll need to know your path to P4G.exe for this step.

If you don't remember your path, follow the steps in Locate P4G.exe again.

  • In the Launch Options box, enter the following text, using your own path to P4G.exe:

--launch "X:\YOUR\OWN\PATH\TO\steamapps\common\Persona 4 Golden\P4G.exe"

Make sure to keep the quotation marks on both sides of the path!

Add Artwork to Shortcut

We've prepared some custom artwork for your Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded) shortcut, so you won't confuse it with the vanilla P4G entry in your library.

  • Close the Properties window for Persona 4 Golden.

  • Make sure you have a Recent Games shelf in your Steam library.

    • If you don't, use the dropdown or add a new shelf for Recent Games.

Apply Header Artwork

  • Launch and immediately close Persona 4 Golden (Relodaed) in your Steam library.

This will expand the game's header art on the Recent Games shelf and move it all the way to the left.

  • Right-click the header and select Manage > Set custom artwork to open a file picker.

  • In the file picker, navigate to your P4G-Mods\Artwork folder and select header.jpg.

Your header should immediately update.

Apply Poster Artwork

  • Launch any game other than Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded) in your Steam library.

This will collapse the game into its poster art (or lack thereof).

  • Right-click the poster and select Manage > Set custom artwork to open a file picker.

  • In the file picker, navigate to your P4G-Mods\Artwork folder and select poster.jpg.

Your poster should immediately update.

Apply Hero Artwork

  • Click on Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded) in your Steam library to open its details page.

  • Right-click the empty hero at the top and select Set Custom Background to open a file picker.

  • In the file picker, navigate to your P4G-Mods\Artwork folder and select hero.jpg.

Your hero should immediately update.

Apply Logo Artwork

  • Right-click the hero again and select Set Custom Logo to open a file picker.

  • In the file picker, navigate to your P4G-Mods\Artwork folder and select logo.png.

Your logo should immediately update.

Moving On

P4G is now ready to play! Let's go over a few things before our first test run.
