# Final Steps

## A Few Tips Before Starting

### Save Often!

* **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.

### Configuring Custom Sub Menu

* The first time you open the Sub Menu, you'll be asked to configure the **Custom Sub Menu**.
  * If you just want all the basic QOL improvements, simply press the back button and Custom Sub Menu will set itself up automatically.
  * If you'd like to know more about each feature, select it in the menu for a brief explanation and deeper customization options.
* You can change these settings at any time—open the Sub Menu and press the Command Menu button to get back to the configuration window. See the [**FAQ**](/appendix/faq.md#how-do-i-open-the-configuration-menu-for-custom-sub-menu) for more info.

## Launch Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded)

* In Steam, Click **Play** on your **Persona 4 Golden (Reloaded)** shortcut to launch P4G.
