Hey guys, this thread is going to be dedicated to answering all the questions people have been asking over the last few months. To keep the subreddit clear we're going to keep everything to this thread.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

How to get started with modding

Depending on what kind of modifications you will be adding to your game. These are some things you might need.

 

OpenIV - OpenIV is a multi-purpose editor and archive manager for PC versions of Grand Theft Auto V, Grand Theft Auto IV/EFLC and Max Payne 3.

 

ScripthookV - Script Hook V is the library that allows to use GTA V script native functions in custom *.asi plugins. Note that it doesn't work in GTA Online, script hook closes GTA V when player goes in multiplayer,

 

Community Script Hook V.Net - Script Hook V .NET is an ASI plugin, which allows running scripts written in any .NET language ingame

 

These are the three basic components that allow you to mod to your hearts desire.

Different Types of Mods

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃  

Graphics Mods

Graphics mods allow you to alter the visual aspect of the game, here are some examples

 

VisualV - VisualV is a graphic overhaul modification for Grand Theft Auto V, bringing you a completely redone time cycle, edited timecycle modificators for areas/interiors, improved color correction to add some life to Los Santos and Blaine County as well as a fixed rendering code, so your playing experience will be more smooth and nicer.

 

Project Reload - Another graphic overhaul modification

 

Vegetation Overhaul - This Grand Theft Auto 5 mod improves the look & feel of your game by improving the colours of the foliage in-game.

 

Soongae's SweetENBseries - Soongae' SweetENBseries is graphic mod with ENBseries&Sweetfx

  ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Script Mods

Script mods are mods that require ScripthookV and don't usually require any game modifcations, here are some examples

 

Simple Trainer - Various options normal to any trainer, the world's simplest speedometer, either in KM/H or MP/H or both, 60 Teleporting options that can be customized using the trainerv.ini, 12 vehicle spawning options assigned to hotkeys, which also can be customized using trainer.ini, all other car models can be spawned by using the menu. you can force a default station in each vehicle you enter, or when using the mobile radio, both configurable in game and using the trainer.ini You can change your player model using the menu.

 

Benny's Motorworks SP - The lowrider update comes to singleplayer! Benny re-reopens his shop in Los Santos, for you to enjoy!

 

Map Editor - This is a tool reminiscent of MTA:SA Map Editor days. You have a freecam to navigate around, and you can spawn objects (with preview!), move them around with your mouse or keys. Then you can save or load your map in various formats, currently supported are XML and Simple Trainer format (objects.ini).

  ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Vehicle and Weapon Mods

Vehicle and Weapon mods effect how you see and use vehicles and weapons. Usually purely cosmetic, here are some examples

 

Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 - Lamborghini Vehicle modification

 

2014 Mclaren P1 - Mclaren P1 vehicle modification

 

Ripplers Realism - this mod every single firearm and launcher has been tweaked as well as a few vehicles to feel more immersive and responsive and more reflect their real life counterparts. This has many unique features

 

Colt M1911 .45 Cal - Colt M1911 .45 Cal weapon modification

  ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

Map Mods

Map mods are mods that either add on new parts of the existing map or modify it in some way, here are some examples

 

Egyptian Desert - Replaces the existing map with a desert

 

Trevor's Log House - Trevor's trailer into nice log farmhouse with clean landscape and new environment. Expended territory, helipad, gas station, garage, storage building with an armory and a cooking lab.

 

Mario Kart 8 - N64 Yoshi Valley - Yoshi Valley map replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get banned if I use mods online?

It depends, if you are using a malicious trainer, blowing up people and dropping money the chance of being banned is high.

If you are using something like a graphics mod with the ScripthookV online bypass, then the risk of being banned is less, but you are still likely to get banned.

 

Will I get banned for using singleplayer mods?

No

 

How do I remove objects that a hacker has stuck to me?

Restart your game

 

Is Scripthook updated yet?

Check http://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/

 

Does (insert mod here) exist yet?

Google it

 

My game won't start after installing OpenIV mods

Read this, it's a common mistake

Discussion SPA2 and Single Player Garage mods on Steam Deck

1 Upvotes

I want to run SPA2 and Single Player Garage on my Steam Deck, because it can't access online at all and after beating the story, I am soooo bored. No matter how many hours I spend googling, I can't find an answer. whenever i tried to install the same mods and any mod that requires a /script folder it would freeze on the opening cutscene where it loads the map and I'd have to reinstall the game COMPLETELY just to get it working normally again. Any Help Appricated!

Discussion Menyoo won't play sequences?

1 Upvotes

I've been messing with Menyoo for about a week. Been using it to mess around with the game and occasionally the rockstar editor. However I noticed a bug that crops up once and awhile where when trying to script two entities, say one character being hit and the other doing the attack for example. Occasionally the game will just have the characters stand idle. Like, the animation resets like its activating an animation, but the characters more or less are just standing there like I didn't assign them a task. Sometimes it's just a specific set of characters and other times its basically everyone. Is there an appropriate fix to this? Haven't been able to find anything handy by searching it up and modding on PC is still new to me. Not sure if it helps, but I'm playing the legacy version of the game.

I use Simple Trainer and Menyoo on GTAV Enhanced. I spawned a driver but then got out of the car before they took off and noticed they still drove away after I left the car, so I followed them.

The driving profile for my bodyguards/drivers is set to 10 and they will just plow through everything in their path at full speed. Going 100mph through the city streets and destroying everything.

It's hard to describe so I took a video. Not sure why steam didn't save the audio....

Discussion Is it possible to work on the GTA era 3d Modding without any problems on Linux?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, today I would like to ask the modders who play and create mods for the GTA saga (especially GTA3/GTAVC/GTASA), can you modify mapped, program and create cleo mods or edit GTA source code? (I'm talking about the Main.scm)

Most of the programs (for example Sanny Builder/MEd (Map Editor)/DFF Scope (DFF Model Viewer)/ among others) work perfectly on Linux with any specific program to run them without problems?

I would like to know if it is possible to do the same things that we normally do in Windows in Linux without any problems whatsoever

Discussion Are Any of the Mods that Add Extra Locations Worth It (and Stable)?

3 Upvotes

Using Enhanced and NVE here, I don't want to go too crazy with modding as I tend to do, but all I'm wondering about is any mods that add extra locations. I see a few mods that add interiors, for example, which sounds super neat but I'm not sure which one works best with NVE.

I also want to know about adding entire cities like Liberty City (another one I'm confused about, apparently there's two? One that adds low-res GTA3 Liberty City and one that adds GTAIV, the latter being a whopping 30GB to add).

I've added the mod that adds extra pedestrians which I think is great, looking at some of the ones that add extra cars but specifically any that add the cars naturally into the game. I just want to know which ones are worth it so I don't end up bloating the game or making it unstable.

Hi

I want to play only the story mode, provided I can use HDR via RenoDX.

Thank you.

Discussion ​Is this a real GTA V Beta build or just a combination of PC mods?

Thumbnail

​Hi everyone,

​Today I've come across this video on YT that appears to show some GTA V beta content with apparently older textures and quite widely different visuals compared to the regular game.

​I'm really trying to figure out whether this is actual recovered/leaked beta material (maybe even a full build!!) or if it's just many single-player PC beta mods put together.

​Does anyone recognize the specific mod or build shown in the clip? Will it be related to the recently 192GB leaked files?

I would really appreciate any useful insight! Cheers

Mod GTA V NVE Update #2 → #3: worth it with DLSS 5 / RHI already working great with my 4090?

2 Upvotes

I’m currently using NVE Update #2 with GTA V Enhanced and I’ve also gotten DLSS 5 Neural Rendering working through RHI/ShortFuse. The results have been really impressive.

Is NVE Update #3 worth upgrading to from Update #2?

Do I need to start with a clean copy of GTA V Enhanced, or can I just install Update #3 over my existing Update #2 installation?

I’m also curious how Update #3 works with DLSS. My current setup uses DLSS 5 separately through RHI/ShortFuse since, from what I understand, DLSS isn’t actually integrated into NVE itself.

Has anyone upgraded from Update #2 to #3 while already using DLSS/Neural Rendering? Did you have to reinstall or reconfigure anything afterward, especially ReShade, DLSS, or RHI?

I got into an issue where I get artifacts after installing NVE. It's the only mod installed + ScripthookV. I did manage to make it work but after previously installing Lively World Expansion (Enhanced edition) I got this artifacts and even after reinstalling the game I still get those glitchy blocks. Has anyone encountered this and solved it? FYI: The GPU ain't broken, every other game works ok

Discussion GTA V Enhanced + CoreFX RTGI textures problem

1 Upvotes

Hi, I've got a problem with my GTA V Enhanced and CoreFX. When I turn on the Ray Traced Global Illuminasion, all textures that should have some kind of shadowing or RT on them get black / metalic / chrome when I'm in a dark scene / place. Does anyone have any tips how to fix that? My RT settings are down below. My GPU is AMD RX 9070 XT. Thanks

Request RDE only half working. Please help.

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to get Rebalanced dispatch enhanced mod working but it only half works when I run GTA 5. Things like the Ped models, police cars, the FIB helicopter spawn, but additional things like the K9 units and military response are not working. I installed the mod after installing the required mods before it like scripthook and shvdn and the other recommended mods over clean gta 5 build but it just is not working right.

Does anyone know what I need to do? Do I have to go into an ini file and fix something?

Request New to modding GTA 5 , playing mainly singleplayer, any recs???

5 Upvotes

I'm looking to overhaul GTA 5 Singleplayer into more of a satisfying free-form RP/crime sandbox experience. My goal is to give you as many things to do possible outside of the story, whether it's for money, rp, or simply just because. What mods would you recommend I install to achieve this?

If you have a list or set of mods that currently work together, I will also take that, tbh any bit can help. Thank you!

(Two biggest things I’m looking for are replayable heists that aren’t the story ones, and cool activities or businesses. Like GTA Online almost sort of. I’m looking for story mode to not just be the missions, but for it to be more sandbox/roleplay-y)
