How do I get P3 HD to load? The mods load but the P3HD textures don't :(
I'll attach a photo of my current settings for graphics and Aemulus.

Hi there! :wave:

:warning: While you wait for a response, please check the following to ensure your post isn't deleted by staff:

:one: Make sure you're in the right forum!

  • "modder-help" is for help making mods
  • "user-help" for help using mods.
    If your issue isn't about modding, take it to the Steam forums, Reddit etc. please! :thumbsup:

:two: Make sure you've searched thoroughly to see if your question has been asked before. Nobody enjoys repeating themselves! :mag:

:three: Summarise your issue as clearly as possible in the post title and assign any/all relevant tags so people can see exactly what your post is about without needing to open it.
Vague titles like "I need help" or "Reloaded error" are not sufficient! :label:

:four: If your post is related to a specific mod or guide you're following, share a link to it! Don't just assume everyone knows what you're referring to! :link:

:five: If you're seeing any error messages, include screenshots and/or logs so people can check them out without needing to ask! :notepad_spiral:

:six: Tell us how you've tried to figure out the problem yourself. People are much more likely to help if you appear to have tried your best before creating a post! :technologist:


:white_check_mark: Troubleshooting Tips! :white_check_mark:

  • "I'm getting unexpected behaviour when playing with mods!"
    If the problem only occurs with mods enabled (double-check this!), then it's likely caused by a bug in one of the mods you have installed. Try disabling each of your mods one by one, launching the game and testing as you go to narrow down the problem mod. Once identified, report the issue to the author so they can fix it!

  • "My problem relates to the 'Community Enhancement Pack' / 'HD Overhaul Project' / 'TrueHD'!"

output must be the folder u keep ur elf

timid crescent
#

okay

also cheats folder should be cheats

timid crescent

the closest thing is cheats_ni

astral aspen

@astral aspen is there a reason why i can't open the properties of my elf file?

#

#

nvm

#

updating it fixed everything

#

still can't get the mod to load 😭

umbral arrow
#

get rid of the SLUS-21621/replacements bit in pcsx2

timid crescent
#

it fixed everything thank you

umbral arrow
#

yeah, the path in pcsx2 is game wide, so it adds the gameID for you

#

when you have the SLUS bit typed out, pcsx2 scans in textures/SLUS-21621/replacements/SLUS-21621/replacements

timid crescent
#

EPIC

#

THANK YOU SO MUCH

#

EVERYTHING IS

umbral arrow
#

np

timid crescent
#

FIXED NOW

#

wait just one more thing tho

#

is it okay for my

umbral arrow
#

hm?

timid crescent
#

aemulus

umbral arrow
#

what about aemulus

timid crescent
#

are these directories okay

#

i'm using the ELF to launch the game

umbral arrow
#

if you're using the ELF to launch the game, aemulus should be set to textures/SLUS-21621/replacements

timid crescent
#

okay! :D

umbral arrow
#

you only ever make it 94a82aaa if you're launching the game from inside aemulus, which causes some other issues

timid crescent
#

ohhh

#

oki

#

i was rlly confused because the font fix didn't work but the CEP part showed during the title screen

umbral arrow
timid crescent
#

yes!! :D

#

it's just unpacking aatm

umbral arrow
#

kay, slightly rounded UI, high quality party potraits, and the cheatsheets are gonna cause issues. For the portraits, just remove it because P3HD already makes them HD. Because you're using tiny tweaks, you'll want to replace the cheatsheets with the tiny tweaks versions

timid crescent
#

okay :D

umbral arrow
#

lastly, answer compendium and paulownia mall QOL both actually serve to make the game slightly easier and change the gameplay, so personally speaking they're not recommended. They'll work perfectly fine if you leave them on, but just thought I should give a heads up that they do change things

timid crescent
#

the tiny tweaks versions are separate to the HD fix right?

umbral arrow
#

yep

timid crescent
#

okii

umbral arrow
#

looking good 👍

timid crescent
umbral arrow
#

yep, all good. Shouldn't be having any issues anymore

timid crescent
#

thank you fren :D

umbral arrow
#

hit the build icon in aemulus

timid crescent
#

i can finally sleep in peace

umbral arrow
#

anything else to set up, or are we good to mark this thread as solved?

timid crescent
#

that's all thank you

#

i just wanna play P3 FES with nicer graphics :D

umbral arrow
#

have fun. If i might shill myself for a sec, i recommend fuuka's expanded BGM as well

timid crescent
#

sure :D

#

it'll prolly take a lil bit for it to fully download

umbral arrow
#

yeah, there's a lot of songs there

#

makes tartarus way more bearable

timid crescent
#

yeah

#

listening to the same track over and over and over is pain

umbral arrow
#

randomized battle bgm is also p nice

timid crescent
#

yes

#

i really liked it in p5s

umbral arrow
#

oh, i mean the mod for p3 lmfao

timid crescent
#

OH

#

oop

umbral arrow
#

it adds songs from the movies and Q to help give more variety for mass destruction

timid crescent
#

BABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABY

umbral arrow
#

frfr

timid crescent
#

my last two braincells trying to do hw 😭

umbral arrow
#

oof

timid crescent
#

okay downloaded the 2 mods :D

umbral arrow
#

👍

timid crescent
#

time to build and sleeeep

umbral arrow
#

make sure that randomized bgm is placed above all of your other mods

#

also, if you downloaded the QT+ version of fuuka's, you'll also need to download QT+

umbral arrow
#

lol

#

when you end up downloading qt+, make sure you place it below fuuka's. The order should be random battle bgm, then fuuka's, then qt+, then all your other mods

umbral arrow
#

let me find it rq

timid crescent
#

one final checkup

#

okay! :D

#

have a goodnight fren !! thank you for the help :D
