Set Up P4G-Mods folder

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.

Important Terms

P4G-Mods folder: A unified folder for your P4G modding setup.

There are four folders in the P4G-Mods folder:

_Reloaded-II: This folder contains the Reloaded II mod loader.
- You'll learn more about Reloaded II soon!
Backups: Use this folder to store any important files or folders you want to save.
Notes: Use this folder to store any information you think is worth keeping.
Setup: Use this folder to store the prerequisite runtimes your modding tools need.

Prepare P4G-Mods Folder

Extract your downloaded P4G CEP archive.
Open the extracted archive and locate the P4G-Mods folder inside.

Move P4G-Mods Folder

Move the P4G-Mods folder to a suitable location on your Steam Deck's internal storage.

We recommend creating a new folder in your home directory such as /home/deck/Mods/ and placing your P4G-Mods folder inside it.

Double-check your directory path!

Make sure your P4G-Mods folder is NOT in any of these locations:

Any Wine or wineprefix directory
Any Steam or Steam library directory
The Persona 4 Golden game folder
Any directory that actively syncs data to the cloud (Dropbox, etc.)
- Backups that run manually or on an infrequent schedule are okay

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 /home/deck/Mods/.

Download Prerequisites

Reloaded II regularly updates its prerequisites, so these instructions may be outdated.

There are a few core runtime libraries our modding tools need to run. We will install them later using a program called Protontricks.

Download these prerequisites to your /P4G-Mods/Setup/ directory:

Prerequisite

File Name

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.
