First thing to do is run the bat file.
8 Run This File.png

Once you run the bat file you will see:
10 Main Menu.png

The Main Menu has a number of sub menus
10a Controls And Prompts.png

10b Character Creation Options.png

10cAnimation Mods.png

10d Graphics Mods.png

10e Clothing And Tattoos.png

10f Extra Gang Type Mods.png

10g Weapons Mods.png

10h Vehicle Mod Menu.png

10i Audio Menu.png

10j Camera Menu.png

10k Misc Menu.png

10l  Open Cheat Menus.png

The Misc Menu has a sub menu of it's own. It is for option number 4: Zombies At The Mall
10k1.png

And Misc Menu option 5: Post-Game Gang Control has a warning screen when you choose it.
10k2.png
The first time you start GOTR and see the Main Menu you are presented with a number of menus.
type the number in front of the menu that you wish to access (then press enter) then type the number of the
modification that you wish to either turn on or off. If there is a will be a little symbol in front of the number then
the mod is turned on and the symbol will disappear when the mod is turned off.
When you have finished with a sub menu hit 0 then Enter to return to the main menu

Once you have made all of the modifications that you want to then you move on to
compiling your patch. There are three options here: X,V and P
X = Wipes all your menu choices out and let's you start over
V = Creates A Vanilla Patch which leaves the game mostly vanilla. (It still installs patches, etc ...)
P = Compile The Game Patch including any files that are in 1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE

Put Mods Here.png

This is where you put your mods.
Once you have all your mods ready to go, then go back to the GOTR main folder and run the bat file
Run This 2.png

Once your file s have compiled you will find them in the 'My Custom Patch' directory
Here is where your compiled files are.png

Move the patch files to your game directory In my case Gog Games\Saint's Row 2
If you run the Steam version you will have a different directory.
Drop The Compiled Files Here.png

Drop The Compiled Files Here.png


You are now ready to play your modded game.
You only need to set your menu options one time. GOTR will remember them until you change them.
So on consequent uses you go skip the menu settings and go straight to compiling your patch.
