1. Make sure you have an archiving tool such as WinRAR or 7-Zip.
2. Open up the directory to your Sonic Generations folder in File Explorer. (Commonly Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Sonic Generations)
3. Download SonicGMI (Link above)
4. Select the contents of the SonicGMI archive and drag (extract) them into the "Sonic Generations" folder.
5. Open SonicGMI.
6. Press the "Install/Uninstall" button at the bottom of the program.
7. Go online and find a mod that you'd like to install.
8. Simply drag the mod folder within the archive of the mod you downloaded into the "Sonic Generations/mods" directory.
(You're dragging the right mod folder if it contains a folder within it labeled "disk".)
9. Head back to SonicGMI and press the button that says "Refresh Mods List" if the mod doesn't appear.
10. Tick the box next to the mod to enable it, and press the "Save" button at the bottom of the program.
(Enabling the FxPipeline Renderer isn't necessary for most mods but will prove useful if you're installing the Unleashed Project or shader mods.)
11. Close SonicGMI and load up Sonic Generations to test the mod.

Is SonicGMI in the same folder as your SonicGenerations.exe file?

I deleted and reinstalled Sonic gmi and it still doesn't work

sonic gmi is a zip file i need to buy winzip to unzip it i cant use mods if it is a zip file help me find one that is not a zip file

[@luria2498]

You can try WinRAR, it's free. It says there is a trial but you'll never have to pay for it. I hear 7-Zip works too.

[@SSiana]

GMI don't create backup help !

[@leroy855]

Me too

[@radiantstarlight0428]

Can you do one on sonic Adventure DX on steam?

[@numb4102]

after creating a backup, sonicGMI just closes, can u help please?

[@luria2498]

Was the backup created? If not, you should just be able to copy and paste the SonicGenerations.exe file. The copied one will be the backup, if I remember correctly! That way if the actual exe file breaks for whatever reason, you can simple delete it, and rename the copied one back to the original name "SonicGenerations.exe". Hope that helps!

The website is down for repairs.

[@luria2498]

This tutorial is outdated. I'd highly recommend you try HedgehogManager instead. It's like SonicGMI but I believe it's a lot more versatile. SonicGMI should still work if you wish to follow this tutorial though

Why dont do it on ps3

[@luria2498]

I think it's possible to mod Sonic Generations on the PS3 (I'm sure it is on Xbox), but it's not worth the effort.

[@wispyw]

i almost wasted your time i am sorry i found out the problem lel

[@TimurSokol]

Everyone knows this...

[@luria2498]

timur sokol Again, just wanted to make a small tutorial for any noobies out there for when I make my own modding series.

[@Dizastermaster.]

Lol, Sonic generations is dead, sonic mania is what's lit right now.

[@luria2498]

Sonic Generations modding isn't dead. It's obviously not as popular thanks to Sonic Mania. This video was recorded in April, before Mania modding was thriving.

[@TheOneWhoAskedForYourOpinion]

so, i did everything as said and wanted to play as metal sonic (sonic generations episode metal mod) so i did everything as said, launched it, but it appears that nothing changed.

[@leroy855]

When I Wanna make a backup for sonic generations exe..the sonic gmi is just closing..pls help

[@luria2498]

I'm not sure what's causing that, though I think you can manually copy and paste the exe file if you prefer. That'll create a duplicate, which will work as a backup if you have any issues.

[@manuelzotti7184]

U actually can

[@ApertureDragon]

It keeps saying that my game files are missing or corrupt

[@luria2498]

I'm not sure the exact reason, but this video is out of date. There's a new tool called HedgehogManager. It's very similar but functions better I think

i have done everything correctly but when i try to boot up the game it says the cpkerdir.dll file was missing. does anybody know how to fix this?

[@luria2498]

Hmm. That file is supposed to be in your Sonic Generations folder. Can you check and see if it's there? Also, where did you install the mod loader? (SonicGMI.exe)

[@Retro-bm8he]

@@luria2498 I installed the gmi through downloads and placed the application in the sonic generations folder, I will check later if the cpk file is there

[@Infectedbybloo]

Is the community for this game active at all?

[@luria2498]

I thought Sonic Lost World / Sonic Mania + the tools for modding being outdated / difficult to setup (lots of things) kind of killed Sonic Generations modding, but I've been seeing new things come out recently for Sonic Generations (big and small) with the hype of Sonic Forces growing, so I'd say there is still a community, yes. I just made this video because I was working on a modding guide back in early 2016 and decided I would just make a video series on making small mods for Sonic Generations.
