To everyone asking how to install the mod, here's a guide: 1. Go to the link in description or go to Nexus Mods and search “playable Ellie”. 2. Download the files on that page (Click the download button that says manual and slow download if you don't have Premium). You need the file pak68.txt and the bin folder. 3. Put both of these files in the main folder for The Last of Us Part I. If you’re playing on steam you can right click on the game title in your library->properties->installed files->browse and the folder you want is The Last of Us Part I/build/pc/main. Rename the pak68.txt and bin.psarc files that are already in this folder and replace them with the pak68.txt and bin folder that you downloaded. If you want to uninstall the mod just get rid of the new files you added and change the older file names back. 4. Just start up The Last of Us Part I and you will have to build shaders again, but otherwise that’s it. Once you start the game you will see Ellie replace Joel in the opening cutscene and you first control Ellie in the Quarantine Zone section (Note you still start the game as Sarah, but you should see Ellie instead of Joel in the prologue) Pretty easy setup honestly it’s just a matter of copying some files into the main folder and renaming a couple of files. Then when you start the game you should be playing as Ellie :)

Seeing Ellie super tired on the sofa with Sarah made me laugh so hard 😂

[@Konner2222.]

Seeing Ellie, and Joel swapped for certain cutscenes is so funny. Like the one at Bill's. "I'm just fixing your stupid pile". I always love these challenges you do.

[@KidAstronaut]

Joel's hand movements at that part had me rolling!!!

[@masroorahmadbani1712]

This mod is so cursed I love it. Funniest shit I have seen all week. Both of them using their force powers where ever they can like true sith.

[@Nameless.Hermit]

My god that T pose swimming got me lmfao fr Edit: watched a few of your challenge runs today and subbed up, would love to see a brick and knife run with Ellie

[@techagamer]

The bugs and cut scenes had me laughing the hole vid 😂

[@SpeedDemon55]

Imagine if Ellie had Joel’s combat animations.

[@uLookin]

Ive seen a mod with it and it was a little weird but worked really well

[@Dannymart_88445]

They would look super weird

[@ashuraswrath4793]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, it was hilarious. I'm glad you enjoyed my mod, despite the bugs lol. There were just some things I couldn't fix no matter what I tried. 😅

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thank you so much. Your mod was super fun to play and you did a great job with it. I know very little about actually making mods but I imagine a lot of this was tricky to get working at all so I applaud you for doing this. Keep up the good work! :)

[@gameeverything816]

You should make a mod where you can play left behind as joel 😂

[@TACHANKA_Clips]

The random glitches are so funny

[@Steiper]

,,Bill gave Joel a hello kiss“😂

Listening to how he speaks so calm and normal while in the scene almost everything is bug just makes it more fun

[@blackscreenman6117]

Seeing Ellie kill all the fireflys is hilarious 🤣 Your editing is getting really good too!

[@Gacha_skiesisbetter]

Lmao this has to be your funniest challenge, especially when Joel was speaking in Ellie’s voice

[@jglipa]

sevearley underrated channel. love these modded videos would love to see more in the future

[@Spoky_Pun]

This is pretty interesting! I've always wanted a full on side game going over Ellie's story before meeting Joel (Kinda like Left Behind) Or a multiplayer mode where you can play as Ellie or other characters from the story, pretty much like Resident Evil's Mercenaries mode, honestly I just want another TLOU game, don't care what type of game it is, just as long as it's playable.

[@Jsimms1324]

“Swear to me.” -Ellie says to no one

[@jorgecastillo2391]

Brings a new meaning to “she fought like hell to get here” Bro she carried us here

[@carolina_jp]

THE GLITCHES AND YOUR COMMENTARY ARE SO HILARIOUS

[@silip3]

12:42 that jumsarce

[@Roland6733]

This was so cursed bro💀 I want to see more of it :D

[@knzjyd]

I'm watching your videos in the hospital right now and it's cheering me up a lot, so thank you. Ellie knife-only would be an awesome challenge to watch!

[@sshhrroomm]

i absolutely love your channel, your voice is extremely soothing :)

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thank you glad you enjoy the videos :)

[@Michaelhi.]

I can agree 👍

[@commandryt1564]

8:25 Ellie literally used the force to slam that guys head in lol

[@MrNiko.]

This guy deserves more followers at this ponit 🎉❤

[@landonewell1812]

Joel talking with Sam had me laughing 😂

[@DefnotAri444]

"Bill gave Joel a hello kiss" HAD ME DYING 😂😂

[@Nathanmogz]

I love your videos keep up the good work👏👏👏

[@REALquinnsilver]

These challenges are super fun to watch. Hoepfully more to come

[@judeofjude5305]

Your jokes make this a thousand times funnier 🤣 Great work my guy

[@Diego-lt4wm]

7:05 the best fucking part of this video hahahaha

[@nurulzuzaila]

Damn i never knew joel is 14 years old, he looks wat younger than that

[@no-zb9ks]

waiting this man for a new tlou video for so long

[@gunkcancerr]

17:32 ellie copped the gta 5 tryhard outfit 🗣️🗣️

[@user-qg1cz5ie9j]

Ellie sporting a Mclovin ID!🤣🤣🤣

[@quirrel_dynasty]

It made me laugh when joel was reading the comedy book pretending to be ellie😂.

[@JewishDonutz]

Editing take on me at 9:58 was a brilliant choice

[@aidenswick9754]

Plot twist: Ellie didn’t come home to her newly adopted daughter Sarah she actually came to her house for a sleepover

[@Mutantgamer]

So many possibilities with mods! I wonder if you could try Last of Us but all enemies are clickers(even humans)

[@epiccakesgaming]

That would be brutal but honestly I would love a mod like that lol. Even further: every enemy is a bloater or every enemy is randomized

[@Mutantgamer]

@@epiccakesgaming I can’t help but wonder at various possible challenges lol, like -Make all enemies human so it’s basically not a zombie apocalypse anymore? -All weapons are bricks and bottles -All enemies multiply by 4

[@stanleybochenek1862]

oh god that’s a funny idea

[@axtiexe]

i cant stop laughing the joel replace ellie is so funny

[@woxxfy]

Him : cleared the whole subway station as Ellie Me : kept dying to that one clicker

[@keenza73]

a knife only ellie run would be awesome

[@real_CLOUDED]

12:41 joels smile😭😭

[@JULEBOL]

Best game I've ever played, really wish I found out you can play as Joel before my 16th playthrough

[@whatsnack8835]

This made my day

[@VolastyYT]

17:31 ellie straight up enabled the gta online invisible chest glitch

[@Pero-cm7uw]

I was laughing so hard the entire time 😭😭

[@TheKing318i]

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on yt.. Fucking hilarious!

[@Bonbonbon739]

In the second game I accidentally threw a brick right at Dina’s head lol it was hilarious

[@Banjo-Oz]

Amazing video, thanks for sharing this! It's interesting to me that when you first play as Joel, the hospital rescue feels very much "get out of my way, I need to save her!" and you really feel invested in saving Ellie because you (and Joel) cares about her. Anyone in the way is just in the way. Watching this with ELLIE doing the slaughtering feels much more a case of catharsis, especially knowing how Part 2 took things. Ellie murdering the shit out of the Fireflies feels very earned in retrospect, especially killing the final surgeon given what he had planned for her,.

[@boredwithjord7360]

YEAHHH WAS WAITING ON UR NEXT TLOU VIDEO :)))))))

[@Black-lq2pb]

Wow, I never knew about the dialogue option with Joel and the woman saying "I can see the resemblance" This was funny as hell, btw

[@worldsstrongestgamer4033]

ellies training for the second game

[@Joss-ir3bd]

Fun fact, you can kill the clicker before she jumps Ellie, 18:28 it's hiding behind some boxes to the right where it jumped out of

[@TheJediCouncil66]

Hey man! I really love your videos and the way you present them. I’m trying to do vids like these and wondering if u have any advise on how to keep ppls attention bc your videos are very captivating to watch ngl

[@epiccakesgaming]

Thanks! My advice is to come up with an idea that’s unique/interesting enough that you would want to watch it. I also really focus on the intro/first like 30 seconds and try to hook people right away with something funny or otherwise interesting (I think the title/thumbnail/intro are super super important just to reel people in and often the intro takes the longest for me to make in my videos). My process is usually to take notes while playing the game and think of jokes/things to say as I’m playing, then turn those notes into an actual script later on and make it fun. Side note: I often just think of jokes to include in like the middle of the day when I’m doing something else and then I write it down. It’s kinda hard to just think of stuff on the spot so take your time and try to keep a list of jokes/important things to note in your video. I often will also go back to my script and cut out big chunks that I later think aren’t that important/interesting to keep the video moving. And finally be patient: it took like 2 years for my first video to actually blow up which was incredibly random/lucky for me so don’t be discouraged if it takes a while to get more views. Good luck with your videos! :)

[@TheGangsterFrog]

Babe wake up! New EpicCakes video dropped ‼️

[@michaeloneill1360]

Dude! That was Hilarious!!!

[@Rockport1911]

Didnt go for the mod because of all the bugs and glitches it adds ;) But watching someone else do it was actually pretty fun :) Seeing Ellies " One-hit-knife-kills" outside of winter is pretty cool. Swapping only the visiual models would work better but would loose this " special abilitie" Ellie has. I was hoping for more cool mods for the PC version at this point but I guess we arent there yet...

[@ehidnicus]

This is the funniest shit I've seen on tlou ever😂 great content man, keep it up👍 Best part - rag doll Joel on a horse, that swiftly turned into full height t-pose😂😂

[@PWR_ADA]

We need you to beat the last of us part 1 as Buckley

[@BigLastOfUsFan2]

It would be pretty cool if naughty dog came out with a mode of TLOU part I but in Ellie's pov

[@mikachumyzzz]

It would be good, it could start with Ellie's mother giving her birth, then Ellie growing on the military school, after she metting Riley, then all the shit would happen, and the rest we all know, the only problem would be that Ellie don't kill anyone neither infected until give her a gun, and that it's a big part of the game.

[@Joannathegirlgamer3]

Never planned to get the remake unless it was much cheaper. Now this mod actually really makes me consider it more than naughty dog ever did 😂

[@bby04]

joel walking across the plank and reading the book 😭😭

Definitely! I have one that I want to do and would like to get to it possibly by the end of the year, but have a few ideas for other games too. 100% there will be more TLOU2 videos/challenges in the future just not sure when yet 😅
