Where Does Persona 5 Royal Store Mods?
Persona 5 Royal mods run through Reloaded-II from its Mods folder in the game directory. Essentials support unlocks asset replacement.
Last updated
P5R modding standardized on Reloaded-II years ago: mods as folders in the Reloaded Mods directory inside the game install, launched through Reloaded. Costumes, party members, music swaps, and quality of life patches fill a deep catalog. The Essentials pack extends the framework to asset replacement.
The toolchain is mature enough that failures almost always mean version skew or a missed dependency. Read each mod's requirements line before installing anything. Confidant progress represents real hours, so back up saves before gameplay experiments and keep one clean profile for purist runs.

Frequently asked questions
Asset mods do nothing. What is missing?
Install the Essentials pack through Reloaded-II first. Asset replacement mods depend on it, and its absence fails silently. Launch through Reloaded every session, since Steam launches skip mods.
Are mods safe on a main save?
Back up the save tree first. Cosmetic mods remove cleanly, while gameplay and party mods can strand confidant progress. Test on a spare slot before committing a hundred hour run.
