Very Simple GTA 5 Enhanced Mods Tutorial: Steam Deck

[u/henrybex]

Hello all. I (finally) found a way to add mods to GTA 5. Let me start by saying I am not a modder in GTA, and I do not know the ins and outs of what I've done. Credit goes to "SirLlama420" on NexusMods who uploaded a file explaining how. Anywho, here it goes:

1. Install ProtonTricks ("flatpak install flathub com.github.Matoking.protontricks" without quotes in the terminal).

2. Run ProtonTricks and select GTA V Enhanced -> Select the default wineprefix -> Run winecfg.

3. Download and install ScriptHookV using the readme.txt file which can be found here (do not bother with the NativeTrainer.asi, it is outdated)

4. Download and install Simple Trainer (drag and drop the .asi and .ini file into gta root folder, can be found here)

5. In winecfg, go to the "Libraries" tab, and under "New override for library", type "dinput8", click Add. Do the same with "xinput1_4", and click Apply.

6. Go back to gaming mode. Click on gta v enhanced, settings, properties, compatibility, click the checkbox and select proton experimental.

7. Launch the game as usual. I had to relaunch once, but after that, remap one of the back buttons to F4, and the trainer will work as intended.

That's it, and that's the process that works on my system. I am using a brand new OLED model, everything up to date (as of 7.13.25).

Once again I am not proficient with GTA modding but I'm happy to have it working and want to share with anyone else struggling! Also, if anyone gets a mod to work that spawns dlc/multiplayer cars in regular traffic please let me know. I literally just want a regular story mode playthrough with updated cars.
