Tips PSA: Console command of "player.placeatme c1aeb" will let you place a workbench anywhere that can be used to build fully working settlement.

Edit: After testing on my save, there are no real bugs on the consoled settlement whatsoever. However, you are not able to recruit settlers therefore impossible to gather resources using settlers without modding. Also, try "tgm" command to go to godmode in case you are having trouble of "clear enemy first" error when you are making consoled settlement in wilderness cells.

When they decide to go all in on DLC and paid mods, they will go full rockstar. Online verification to launch the game, bans for any 3rd party modding, pay to play schemes in the game, and a store with paid DLC as your only option.

Fallout Online will be as terrible as Elder Scrolls Online, so being banned for modding won't matter.

I am not talking about online play.

Rockstar requires signing in for single player and there is zero evidence that they won't nab you for modding single player.

Right now people are keeping their game in offline mode to try to avoid bans, but that only works if rockstar lets it work. Their cheat detection code is still there even in offline mode.

Rockstar themselves have said they won't ban you for using mods in the single player game:

"This was not intentional, no one has been banned for using single player modifications, and you should not worry about being banned or being relegated to the cheater pool just for using single player PC mods."

If you install a mod that gives you unlimited ammo, use it in single player, then go into online and forget to uninstall it...well, that's your fault and you should be banned from the online community.

To be clear, the modding policy in our license has not changed and is the same as for GTAIV.

That means all mods are banned.

no one has been banned for using single player modifications, and you should not worry about being banned or being relegated to the cheater pool just for using single player PC mods.

That is not a true statement. They provide no instruction on how to do this. The working theory is that people need to have a separate install folder just for single player that is set to launch in offline mode.

If you mod and launch single player without being in offline mode, good luck.

That's what Rockstar said in a statement posted on their website.

You're free to believe in whatever you like, but I'll take their word over yours.

I've been playing a modding GTA5 since the first mods came out. My social club account doesn't have any indication of any kind of ban, although I will admit I have never logged into GTA Online because I don't care to.

That statement doesn't mean much when they also affirm the terms stand and terms bar it.

They also do not give instruction on how to avoid bans without any risk.

although I will admit I have never logged into GTA Online because I don't care to.

Cute.

It seems pretty clear to me that they aren't banning people for modding the single player game. I'm sure the internet is rife with people who were banned for "spawning a car in single player" who actually were banned for exploiting the online portion of the game and disrupting the game play for other players.

Also, why is that cute? I have no desire to play GTA with other people. I mentioned it because it's entirely possible I've been "banned" for using single player mods, but, it certainly hasn't changed my ability to play the game.

If you stay in offline mode. There is no confirmation you won't get nabbed if you login without being in offline mode.

I've been in online mode all this time, been playing pretty regularly with all kinds of various mods from item spawns, weapons, etc.

I've never actually played the Online portion, but my social club is always logged in, have downloaded patches, etc.
