Hi Guys,

If you are looking for how to use Classic mods for Atelier Ryza 3 (which is different from regular Classic Way mods), scroll down to Important Notes below to download the guide in PDF version.

====================================

Here is the how to use Atelier Ryza Classic Mods:

1. Download Tools

You need this tools to unpack, download here :
Gust Pak Tools

2. Extract Tools

Extract the tools to [Atelier Ryza Steam Game Folder->Data].

If you install Steam apps on default folder, then you should go to this path =
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Atelier Ryza\Data”

3. Drag & Drop

Click & drag file “PACK00_02.PAK“, drop on file “gust_pak.exe” to unpack it. Please check the file name again before you drop it. Wait until unpacking process finished.

4. Look at New Folder

After unpacking process done, there should be a new folder named “Data\x64\character” as the result of unpack “PACK00_02.PAK” file.

5. Move Folder x64

Cut out the “x64” folder in “Atelier Ryza\Data\Data\” folder from unpacking result, then paste in “Atelier Ryza\Data” folder.

6. Make sure the folder structure

The folder structure must be like this : “Atelier Ryza\Data\x64\character\“

7. Backup (Very IMPORTANT)

Backup (make a copy) that “x64” folder by copy to any folder out of the game folder to keep original files safe.

Backup (make a copy) file “PACK00_02.PAK” also out of game folder.
Remember, Backup by make a file/folder copy, Never Do Cut File.

8. Rename File

Rename file “PACK00_02.PAK” in “Atelier Ryza\Data” to
“PACK00_02 Original.PAK“
Make sure you rename THAT FILE ONLY, don’t touch the others.

9. Extract The Mod File

Extract the mod file in any folder you want outside game folder.

10. Apply Mod

Move/copy the mod file in the correct folder path and overwrite if asked.

Actually, it's easy to put the mods in the correct folder, look at the name of the mods, and search the name in "data\x64\" folder (after you extracted), or you can read one of my Atelier Ryza Mod Posts, to get the picture, in what folder you must put it.

Just click tag Atelier Ryza Mods in my Patreon post list.

11. Play The Game & Have Fun

Congratulations =)

Some Atelier Games (like Atelier Lulua and Atelier Ryza 2) are exactly have the same How To, except only for the Steam Game Path. Just replace "Atelier Ryza" in the path name above to your Atelier Game.
However, Atelier Ryza 3 Classic Mods need some extra steps if you want to apply them, due to recent game updates. Fortunately, only Atelier Ryza 3 TSV nude mods other than Ryza that need to use Classic Way mods. The majority of my mods are using Easy Way mods and easy to apply, unlike the Classic Way.

Make Sure you do have the Outfit / DLC in the game before you apply mod.
If you follow my instructions above properly, you should be OK.
If you encounter any problem, copy “x64” folder you backup before into Data folder and overwrite everything. Make sure you can play the game with original files, and then you shall start again from No 8 How To above.
Always backup “PACK00_02.PAK” file and “x64” folder (after unpack) before you put any mod file(s)
If you have backup, when you have problem, you can revert back any mod with original files.
If you do not have backup or forgot to backup, when you have problem, it’s your fault and no one can help you and you might need to reinstall the game.
