How to Install and Use PoseMod (kgftbz) for Yandere Simulator

This setup works best when Yandere Simulator and PoseMod live in the same dedicated folder. Using the ZIP version of Yandere Simulator (instead of the launcher) avoids common install issues and makes it easier to confirm that all mod files are in the correct place.

1. Create one dedicated folder where everything will go, for example: Desktop\Yansim\.
2. Plan to keep both the game files and PoseMod files together in this same folder.

• Common mistake: Running the game or mod while files are still inside a ZIP. Always extract first.

Step 1: Install Yandere Simulator (ZIP Build)

This step gets the base game files onto your PC in a normal folder so PoseMod can load properly. The goal is to end up with the game executable inside your dedicated folder (example: Desktop\Yansim\).

Actions

1. Create a folder anywhere you like (Desktop is fine) to hold the game (example folder name: Yansim).
2. Download Yandere Simulator from the download page, then use the zip download links (latest.zip or MediaFire or Mega) to get the ZIP build.
3. Right-click the Yandere Simulator ZIP file → select Extract All.
4. Choose your Yansim folder as the extraction destination.

• Common mistake: Extracting into the wrong folder (or ending up with multiple nested folders). Confirm the extracted game files are actually inside your chosen Yansim folder.

Step 2: Install PoseMod (kgftbz) Into the Same Game Folder

This step places PoseMod’s files next to the game files so PoseMod can launch and hook into Yandere Simulator correctly. When you’re done, you should be able to start the game using the PoseMod executable from the same folder that contains the game.

Actions

1. Download PoseMod from the creator’s link (Mega folder for PoseMod).
2. Extract the PoseMod ZIP into the same Yansim folder that already contains Yandere Simulator.exe.
3. Open the extracted PoseMod folder (example shown: “PoseMod 3”).
4. Select all files inside that PoseMod folder, then move/cut them into the main Yansim folder (so they sit next to the game files).
5. Delete the now-empty PoseMod subfolder.

• Common mistake: Leaving PoseMod files inside an extra subfolder (so the mod files are not beside the game files). The PoseMod files must be in the same main folder as the game executable.

Step 3: Launch the Game Through PoseMod (Not the Normal Game EXE)

PoseMod must be the program that starts the game. Launching the normal Yandere Simulator executable may start the game without PoseMod features.

Actions

1. Go to your Yansim folder.
2. Start the game by running PoseMod 64 (or Posemod64), not the normal Yandere Simulator executable.

• Note: The creator’s instructions: “To run the game with PoseMod you need to use Posemod64 or Posemod32, instead of the game executable.”
• Common mistake: Double-launching PoseMod quickly. This can cause the menu to fail to appear.

Step 4: Open and Navigate the PoseMod Menu In-Game

Once you launch correctly through PoseMod, you can open the mod menu in-game and navigate it using simple hotkeys. If you open multiple instances, the menu may not appear.

Actions

1. Launch PoseMod 64 and wait for the game to load fully.
2. In-game, press X to open the PoseMod menu.
3. Navigate the menu with W/S (or arrow keys).
4. Select options with E.

• Common mistake: Opening PoseMod multiple times. If the menu doesn’t show, close everything and relaunch PoseMod only once.

Step 5: Use the Built-In “Pose Mode” (If That’s What You Meant)

Yandere Simulator also has a built-in feature called Pose Mode, which is separate from the fan-made PoseMod. This mode is enabled through the game’s Easter Eggs flow, then you can pose/customize students in-game.

Actions

1. Enable Easter Eggs in the game.
2. Press / to open the easter eggs menu.
3. Press R to activate Pose Mode.
4. While Pose Mode is active, press E to pose/customize a student.

• Note: You may need to use Stop Animation before manually adjusting bones.
• Common confusion: PoseMod (fan-made) and Pose Mode (built-in) are different tools with different activation methods.

Troubleshooting: Common Problems and Quick Fixes

Most issues come from incorrect folder placement, launching the wrong executable, or missing Microsoft Visual C++ runtime files. Use the checks below to resolve the most common 2026 setup problems.

“No data found” / Mod Not Working

• Confirm you are not running from inside a ZIP file.
• Confirm PoseMod is extracted into the same folder as the game.
• Confirm you copied/moved PoseMod’s files out of its subfolder so they sit next to the game files.
• Confirm you are launching the game with Posemod64 or Posemod32, not the original game executable.

Missing Runtime (Example: “VCRUNTIME140.dll”)

• Install the Visual C++ runtime: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
• Then retry launching PoseMod.
• Source reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

Menu Doesn’t Open

• Close everything and relaunch PoseMod once.
• Wait for the game to finish loading.
• Press X again to open the menu.
• Avoid opening PoseMod multiple times.

Extra Notes from the Creator (Non-Yandere Sim Games and Older Unity Builds)

These notes apply if you are installing PoseMod on a game that is not Yandere Simulator, or if you are using much older game builds. They are included here exactly as practical guidance for edge cases.

If You Are Installing PoseMod on a Game That Is Not Yandere Sim

• It is recommended to remove the Yansim dll file from the modules folder of the version that game is in.

Running PoseMod in Older Games (Unity 4 or Unity 5)

• If the game is in Unity versions 4 or 5, there might be some issues.
• To check the Unity version: run Posemod64 or Posemod32 at least once. They will create: Posemod\Modules\DetectedVersion.ini
• If it says pmcoreu4.dll, then it is Unity 4.
• If it says pmcoreu5.dll, then it is Unity 5.

If PoseMod Is Not Working Normally on Older Builds: Side Injector Options

• Try the DoorStop side injector first: https://mega.nz/folder/OFAiyZAL#jAmt_7c63A3Fwm60Pl_5fg/folder/uZ4EwYSQ/
• Creator test note: it worked on builds ys_2015_11_01 (last build with the old school) and ys_2015_11_15 (first build with the new school).
• If DoorStop isn’t working, try the Bepinex side injector: https://mega.nz/folder/OFAiyZAL#jAmt_7c63A3Fwm60Pl_5fg/folder/rdxmnYiS/

Final Folder Checklist (The “It Should Work Fine This Way” Test)

Use this final checklist to confirm your setup matches the creator’s core install instruction: copy PoseMod files into the folder that has the game, then launch using PoseMod (not the game executable).

• All PoseMod files and folders are copied into the folder that has the game.
• You start the game with Posemod64 or Posemod32 (not the original Yandere Simulator executable).
• If something fails, re-check that the files are in the right folder and relaunch PoseMod once.
