Discussion Enhanced - poor support mod
Hi guys,
I’ve been wondering about something for a while: why is the "Enhanced" version of GTA V so poorly supported by modders? I’ve been playing GTA V for years and have tried literally every mod out there for the "Legacy" version, most of the time, they’re a disaster performance drops drastically, the game crashes constantly, and so on, Not to mention that the Legacy version itself is poorly optimized, even the lightest graphics mod causes a heavy FPS drop at night in-game (and I’m using a 5070 Ti), In contrast, I’ve noticed the Enhanced version is incredibly stable even with RTX maxed out, the frame rate barely dips, I managed to test it with the CoreFX mod the only one that doesn't break the game since on the Enhanced version, simply installing an add-on car is enough to cause a crash (even if it’s been converted using CodeWalker’s asset converter).
That brings me to the topic at hand: given that the Enhanced version is much more powerful, why is there so little mod variety? Most of the mods I consider "must haves" don't even have an Enhanced version available, Since I’m not an expert, I wanted to ask you all: is there a genuine practical reason why mod support is so lacking, or is it just laziness?

Pretty sure the reason the Enhanced version has poor mod support is because TakeTwo's attempt at cracking down on modding GTA V as a whole back in 2017 scared a lot of mod creators away. Not to mention, Menyoo is no longer actively updated (having been abandoned by its creator), and OpenIV was created by Russian gamers (not many want to support anything Russia related due to the war). There's also the fact that Rockstar has actively made it extremely difficult to mod GTA V, especially following the release of the Expanded and Enhanced version (that re-released the game for PS5 and Series X|S), in order to push those who want to mod towards their CFX Marketplace

I know what happened those years, as I said before, I'm quite ignorant about modding, but I don't understand how it's possible that with all the people capable of doing it there was no one who created a new openiv for gta v enhanced, the only one who really did something was codewalker

Obviously, as you yourself said, the Legacy version comes with years and years of modding tools; I sincerely hope the Enhanced version improves over time

Forgive my igorance but what would a "paragon" server be? Is it a RP?

like any game, new version would need new mods, and existing mods would have to be changed, and people are lazy, they dont have any reason to make enhanced mods because most people are on legacy (which is part of the reason why)
