📦 Installation Guide

**1. Install Special K**

  • Download and install the Special K tool locally
  • Tutorial link: Special K Local Installation Guide
  • The latest version can be used normally

**IMPORTANT NOTE:**

  • Tutorial Step 5: Nier Pretender uses 64-bit executable and DirectX 11 API
  • Tutorial Step 7: Rename the DLL file to d3d11.dll (dxgi.dll is invalid)

**2. Install module files**

  • Locate the game file location (where d3d11.dll was previously placed)
  • Place texture folder in: SK_Res\inject\textures
  • If the folder is missing, create it manually

**3. Load texture**

  • Launch the game and load the save file
  • Press CTRL-SHIFT-BACKSPACE to open the Special K menu
  • Click "Render Mod Tools" → "Reload All Injected Textures"

🛠️ Troubleshooting

**If texture is not loaded:**

  • Check if the texture folder location is correct
  • In the Special K menu: File → Browse Texture Assets → Injectable Textures
  • This will open the correct location of the texture folder (subfolders also work)
  • If files are moved while the game is running, please restart the game

**Graphics settings check:**

  • Make sure "D3D11 State Performance Tracker" is unchecked
  • Make sure "Enable HUDless Screenshots and Texture Mods" is checked
  • If the problem persists, try checking or unchecking the "D3D11 Deferred Mode" option

**If it still doesn't work:**

  • You can ask for help on the Special K Discord server

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
