*******************************

BEFORE YOU INSTALL!

* Backup your save files! You can find your current save files here:
..\steam\userdata\[some numbers]\55230\remote\

* Confirm you are using the Steam release of Saints Row: The Third! If not, this mod will not work correctly and you will have all sorts of fucked up lockups with menus.

*******************************

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Extract this ENTIRE archive somewhere you can find it easily like your desktop


2. Copy "Remove_all_SRTT_mods.bat" to your Saints Row The Third install folder:
..\steam\steamapps\common\saints row the third\


3. Run your newly copied "Remove_all_SRTT_mods.bat" to cleanup any existing mods


4. Run Create_Custom_GoS_v1.bat


5. Choose Option C to build a coop compatible patch if you are going to play online, or choose option A to go to the Advanced menu to select additional optional mods for things like sticky camera, disabling tutotrial popups, or the clip editor. These optional mods may cause issues in coop. We don't know yet so please let us know!

NOTE: All of the standard coop compatible options are already selected by default in Advanced Mode so you can see exactly what is being created, or even remove certain options if you want. The changelog and Reference Documentation folder have full details on each mod.


6. Build your mod compilation with P for patch style or L for loose mod collection (ADVANCED MODE ONLY)

* Patch style creates 2 patches to replace the originals in your /cache folder. This is the neat and clean way to do things.
* Loose creates tons of individual mods to put in the root with the exe. This is the messy approach, but has the benefit of leaving the original files intact. Don't think too hard on this. Both methods will function exactly the same way in-game, and it's simply a matter of preference.


7. Copy your new files to your SRTT install folder

* Coop compatible or patch style:

Back up your originals and then copy your two new custom patch files (patch_compressed.vpp_pc and patch_uncompressed.vpp_pc) from here:
..\MY_CUSTOM_SR3_MODS\

To your Saints Row: The Third cache folder here:
..\steam\steamapps\common\saints row the third\packfiles\pc\cache\

OR

* Loose Mod Collection:

Copy the metric fuckton of loose files from here:
..\MY_CUSTOM_SR3_MODS\

To your Saints Row: The Third install folder with the exe here:
..\steam\steamapps\common\saints row the third\


8. Have fun!
