Genshin Modding Guide - Installing Graphical Mods Using GIMI (2024)
Ойындар
If you've ever been interested in installing mods for Genshin Impact (Or Honkai: Star Rail), this is the guide for you! Here, I'll walk you through the basic install procedure, as well as some of the simpler ways you can troubleshoot mods not working.
Chapters:
Intro: 0:00
FAQ: 0:33
Installation Procedure: 2:24
Troubleshooting: 5:20
Conclusion: 9:07
As noted in the FAQ, there have been no bans reported as a result of careful use of modding in Genshin Impact, and the ban wave tied to modding in Honkai: Star Rail is suspect when it comes to being caused by modding. Watch the FAQ section for more information.
Please note for AGMG verification: you need to show an image of your game with mods active! It is not enough to just show a screenshot of your game without mods!

UPDATE: 4.5 fix has been merged with all 4.0+ fixes, same link as below! 4.5 Update time - As far as I'm aware, only Xianyun and Gaming mods broke in the update. A fixer has been released on Gamebanana already, which can be found at gamebanana.com/tools/16433. Note that this is not integrated with the 4.4 fix yet, so you'll still have to run that if you need to fix mods for anyone else. I've also been told that apparently there was a typo in the 4.4 fixer, which meant that it failed to fix Furina mods! Fortunately, the 4.3 fixer will work on her all the same. There are a few more complex mods that got broken in 4.5, mostly mods with transparency components to them. It's unlikely there'll ever be a unified fix for this, so you'll just have to be patient with waiting for the mod maker to fix it. Until next time!
They could either let me use these mods in peace or perma ban me, releasing me from the shackles of the gacha. Either way its a win win for me XD
You explained everything its needed to know about GIMI, im sure more people will get into modding now!
Thank you so much for the effort you put in
Thank you very much for creating this video! You're truly doing a wonderful service for people even thinking about getting into this hobby. I also love how clearly you explain and show everything. Thanks so much again!
Hey Snowlit, this is the best modding tutorial I have seen so far. 😊👏 I wish it had existed a few months ago when I started out with modding… The ones I watched back then often left out some steps or were a bit chaotic and harder to follow. 😅 Yours was clear and concise! Keep up the great work! 🙌
Man awesome video! easy to follow and super simple, was following along and then none of my mods worked, and then the fixes you talked about at the end fixed everything for me! xD
This tutorial is super helpful, very easily explained, thank you! I wish I found it sooner lol.
Bruh when I heard your mic quality and voice I thought this was a famous channel with a lot of views...lol. Only one video

Question: If there's a new update, does the update turn off GIMI automatically or do I have to reinstall the mods or wait for an update on both mod and GIMI?
@seventhfold4852
Ай бұрын
GIMI has historically worked on every version of Genshin without issue or required updates (v7 has been used for everything between 3.0 and 4.6). Mods may require an update, however. If you want to start the game without GIMI, which you may want just after an update, you can start the game normally - if you don't start 3dmloader before starting the game, you won't have mods loaded in the game.
One thing that's interesting about Genshin mods is that it's clearly really popular across the internet, from KZread, Twitter, and Reddit that Hoyo should've at least aware of it's existence and popularity : and they haven't done anything to it... yet, which is interesting (but it's still scary to think that one day Hoyo may snapped and hunt down those who do mods and mass ban everyone who is found using mods)
@seventhfold4852
3 ай бұрын
By and large, they haven't acted because modding doesn't significantly hurt their bottom line (at the moment). If that ever does come to pass, I imagine they'll be more active with taking down mod-users, but until then I reckon we just enjoy it while we can.

The mods don't do anything. Sometimes it can actually boost sales funny enough. Like for instance, if I didn't want Navia before, the robin HSR mod would make me want to pull navia just to use her for example. Or make some units I don't want to use due to their design becomes more appealing through mods.

Assuming I've got the correct interpretation of your question, you're asking how to alternate between mods for one character, correct? It's possible to make merged mods, where you can toggle the mods on a character with a button, but that goes beyond the scope of this guide. As per this guide, you'll need to choose the mod you like less, and add "DISABLED" to the front of the mod folder to disable it.
