Setting up the Mod Launcher

This page is a guide on how to download and setup the Mod Launcher.

1: Downloading the Mod Launcher

The first step is to download the Mod Launcher. You can do this by heading over to Mod Bakery and then clicking the download button on the latest version.

2: Extracting the Mod Launcher

Next, you want to extract the ZIP archive of the Mod Launcher you just downloaded.

Do not extract this launcher into the same folder as the Multiplayer Launcher!

Using Windows

To extract the archive using the built in Windows utility, simply Right Click > Extract All... to open the Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders dialog.

From there, choose where you want to extract the Mod Launcher and then click Extract.

Using 7-Zip

To extract the archive using 7-Zip, simply Right Click > 7-Zip > Extract files....

From there, choose where you want to extract the Mod Launcher and then click OK.

3: The Mod Launcher's Folder

Now we should have a folder containing a few things:

  • A folder named DLLs: This folder contains DLLs used by the Mod Launcher. Unless explicitly instructed to do so by Donut Team, you should avoid making changes to the contents of this folder.
  • A folder named Mods: This is one of several places where you can install mods for the Mod Launcher. There are also a few small mods included in this folder.
  • Lucas Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher.exe: This is, of course, the actual launcher itself.

4: First Time Setup

Let's go ahead and start up the Mod Launcher.

Upon first startup, you will be prompted to sign into your Donut Team account to enable Donut Team Account Integration.

This is optional and you may simply press "Skip" if you do not wish to do so.

5: Launching the Game

After the account prompts, you'll be greeted with the Main Window of the Mod Launcher which should look like this:

step 5 main window

From here, you can simply click the "Launch" button on the bottom right to launch the game.

The first time you do this, you will be prompted to browse for your install of the game. By default, the game is installed to C:\Program Files\Vivendi Universal Games\The Simpsons Hit & Run on 32-bit systems or C:\Program Files (x86)\Vivendi Universal Games\The Simpsons Hit & Run on 64-bit systems.

Once you navigate to your install, select "Simpsons.exe" and click "Open".

step 5 browse for executable

Once you've done that, the game will launch and you are done setting up the Mod Launcher!
