# Reloaded II

P4G CEP includes a pre-configured version of the **Reloaded II** mod injector. 

Reloaded II is an [**open-source**](/resources/source-code.md) program that injects our mods into P4G using a mod loader named **Persona Essentials**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Reloaded II is powerful software that enables arbitrary/custom code execution.\
**Never** add a mod to Reloaded II unless you trust the creator.

Every mod used in P4G CEP is [**open-source**](/resources/source-code.md#reloaded-ii) and made by trusted community members.
