For those completely new to mods, let me just share my journey over the last week.
First off, many mods designed for Studio Neo can work for the Fakku version: I have tried and tested several.
As many have already mentioned, you will need to rename the key programme exe files and folders for this to work. Use the launcher to adjust settings to your preferred config before that.
I found this guide below quite helpful, and provides links to key mods.'

IPA is the single most important mod you will need. It modifies the game so that it can be modded, and ver 3.4.1 works with the Fakku version. Find it, download it. You install it by dragging the game onto the IPA.exe file.
Many mods also use widesliders. 0.8.3 works with the Fakku version.
MoreslotsID (ver 1.3) works as well. It's very important to use the additional clothing/ items.
HiR Neo (1.1.0) imports new items into your game and works with Fakku's version.
With the above, you should be able to import most skins/ clothes items etc into your game. There are several prominent folks creating high-quality clothes, items that you can download and throw into the game. Some on Patreon include Starlene, McM82 and roy12.
Other more optional mods I have working include Joan6694's HSUS, ggmod plugin (doesn't seem to work 100%), and SBX
I have tried using Diffuse skin 4k a couple of times, but it somehow changes the Fakku interface to Japanese and broke some functions. It may not be compatible since it was designed to work with some DLCs, and I refuse to install the translation pack to switch the interface back to English.
Did you have to do anything special to get GGMod working? I have IPA 3.4.1 extracted in the main HS folder, and dragged the exes onto it. I got the “patch and launch” shortcuts for the exes, and I do see backed up files in the IPA folder. I extracted the GGMod files into the main HS folder, and everything seems to be where it should be. But when I load a model with one of the GGMod heels, the feet are still angled weirdly. Even in a scene, the shoes appear half in the ground. Wondering if that’s what you meant about not working 100% if the time?
I did get WideSlider 0.8.3 and MoreSlotID working. Roy12s models are insane. I can’t believe how fantastic they look. Thanks for any tips for GGMod.
*** Updated: I found what the problem was. My antivirus software wiped out one of the wideslider dlls, so it never had installed properly. Fixed that, and the GGMod heels look great now. Roy12 models with heels, it doesn’t get any better than that.
I also had the issue where my antivirus (McAfee) pretty much zapped wideslider. Had to copy a clean HoneySelect executable and redo the IPA trick to get it to run again. How'd you get around it? Specifically when I tried running HS after installing the Wideslider executable, it closed it and said it quarantined one of the files. Am I going to have to shutoff antivirus when I launch HS after installing Wideslider? Is it a situation where I need to have antivirus off every time with Wideslider installed?
I’m using the Symantec/Norton antivirus. I was able to get into the antivirus history and find the activity where it quarantined the dll, and there was an option to restore the file and exempt it n the future. McAfee might have something similar. Once I got the files excepted from AV scans, I unzipped a new copy of WideSlider and ran the installs again. Worked fine after that.
If anyone is interested, I wrote up a short batch file to rename all the folders and files in the Unlimited folder to what WideSlider and most of the their mods need. Just copy and paste the lines below into a text file, and save it with a .bat extension. Put the file in your Unlimited folder and run it. I found that some mods, like GGMod won’t work if the folders/executables are using the Unlimited names. The only problem that results is you can’t launch HS using the Unlimited launcher.exe. But you need to use the IPA shortcuts anyway if you’re using any plugins. The launcher.exe still works to set your screen resolution and quality setting though, you can just click the button to run Honey Select to save the graphics changes, and it’ll close the launcher. You’ll need to run your IPA shortcut afterward.
Batch lines to rename to patch names:
ren "Honey Select Unlimited VR Oculus_64_Data" "HoneySelectVR_Data"
ren "Honey Select Unlimited VR Vive_64_Data" "HoneySelectVR_Vive_Data"
ren "Honey Select Unlimited_32_Data" "HoneySelect_32_Data"
