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.
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.
The old folder may be named P4G Mods (with a space) instead of P4G-Mods.
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.
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
Do not skip this step, even if you've already done this before!
These runtimes get updated regularly with performance and security fixes.
The Persona Prerequisite Installer can automatically download and install these prerequisites for you, but it is now separately maintained by MadMax1960.
If you use it and something doesn't work, you will need to follow these manual installation instructions or go to MadMax1960 for support.
There are a few core runtime libraries that our modding tools require to run. We'll install them now.
Download these prerequisites to your P4G-Mods\Setup folder:
windowsdesktop-runtime-9.0.##-win-x64.exe
windowsdesktop-runtime-9.0.##-win-x86.exe
vc_redist.x64.exe
vc_redist.x86.exe
Make sure you are downloading the Windows versions of each prerequisite and that you download both the x64 and x86 versions. You should have 4 EXE files when you are done.
Open your P4G-Mods\Setup directory and run vc_redist.x64.exe.
Once the installer window appears (it may take a few seconds), follow the on-screen instructions to install the runtime.
Repeat the above instructions for the rest of the prerequisites in the Setup folder:
Visual C++ Redistributable (x86)
.NET 9 Desktop Runtime (x64)
.NET 9 Desktop Runtime (x86)
Once all four prerequisites are installed, you're ready to move on.
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.
