How to Mod Rune Factory 5 PC 2023 (Steam) – RF5Fix, skip request, harem, fix mods not working etc.

I decided to write this post because I found that modding info is a bit scattered all over the place, and since I’m quite new to modding, I wanted one guide that could walk me through the whole process.

After a few trials and error, I figured out how to do it and get the mods running. I’ll be sharing with you how.

  • TURN OFF the launcher!!! The mods will not run if you use the launcher to launch the game. You can do this simply by unticking the “Show launcher at start” box under General settings. Save and quit, then launch the game again. The launcher should not appear.
