Generally Awesome
I could swear there was some kind of intro or tutorial around here, but i can't find one.
Well, it's very simple. I'd be surprised if you downloaded a mod from here that doesn't explain how to install it, but they all work pretty much the same way: extract the included files into your "saints row the third" folder, which is inside your Steam folder. Gentlemen of Steelport beta works a little differently, but it includes instructions.

Well, there are different things to do depending on whether you decided to pick the clean "patch" style installation, or the "dirty" installation. If you picked the patch style, go to your SRTT folder (in steam/steamapps/common/) and navigate to .../saints row the third/packfiles/pc/cache/ and rename the files "patch_compressed.vpp_pc" and "patch_uncompressed.vpp_pc" so you can revert to the vanilla game just in case. Then drag the files into the cache folder, and voila.
If you did the "dirty" installation, just drag them into the root SRTT folder (the one with the actual game .exe's in the folder) and it should work. Most mods will follow this form of installation (at least from what I've experienced).

umm,i installed SRTT in some other directory (G:\Gaming Area\Saints Row The Third) and not "Program Files (x86)". I have a patch,nude patch to be precise with those 3 files customize_player.vpp_pc, shaders.vpp_pc, misc_tables.vpp_pc . . according to instructions,it shud be placed in "/packfiles/pc/cache" ... but its not working. .

How about I help show you to the door, pirate.
So I have the steam version of SRTT. I unzipped the GoS mod and followed the directions. But when I run the "Creath_Custom_GoS_v1" file, I eventually get a message saying "WARNING - MY_CUSTOM_PATCH folder doesn't exist." Asks me if I forgot to extract the whole archive. I did extract everything. I'm pretty lost right about now lol.. Help if you can.

Whatever archival software you're using didn't extract correctly. Make sure to use either winrar or 7zip.
Ah, Thank you kind sir! Yes, I used the unzip program you recommended and everything worked fantastically! Very well done with the mods my friend. Thank you very much, keep up the great work!
