Once the launcher has popped up hit Options and MAKE SURE you CHANGE THE OPTION MARKED 'RENDERER TYPE' TO 'DIRECTX'.

Launching the game from any of other place may launch the vanilla game (bypassing the hook) instead or cause a crash. Launch the game from the Binaries folder by running the TK17Launcher.exe file. Both of them can be found on modsgarden, and the install instructions are virtually the same as below. Hook 2 is if you're running this game on a calculator.

Hook 3 is still a good alternative if your computer is slow, the graphics aren't quite as awesome but they'll do. There are previous hook versions such as 3 and subsequently 2 available. However, hook 4 is a massive performance hog. This guide will outline how to install and use it. Hook 4 is the current standard for the game.

If you're not running a hook, there's no point in playing since the game will look bland and outdated without one. Hover over the "Home" link on the upper right to browse the different features.A hook is the term for a filter/post processing add on for TK17. This documentation is a guide to installing & using VX. You do not need an Internet connection to use TK17 and it does not connect to the Internet for any reason. All online links were removed from VX and the program is completely self-contained. While old 7.5 had an "Internet" button on the Launcher, TK17 did/does not go online.

No more ".txx" files! Addons are now stored in ordinary. No more "script" updates! Just about everything can be retexured through the "ActiveMod" folder without the need to update a "scripts" file. New features like the ability to apply custom Head & Body mods to individual models without the need for support files or special software. Even with lots of mods, the Customizer, Pose Editor, Sequencer and FreeMode all load in a fraction of the time it took v7.5. The biggest change: FOUR actors instead of just three! If you are already familiar with version 7.5 (or below) of TK17, "VX" includes many new improvements & features:
