Installing mods on GTA 5 does not require much effort. There are two types of modifications: scripted and regular.

Script modifications come as additional files, do not make any changes to the original game files and can be easily removed.

Regular mods make changes to the game files and are installed by replacing them with modder files (most often using the OpenIV program), which can cause errors in the game. Tips on how to protect yourself from unpleasant situations will be described below.

Before you begin installation, please pay attention to a few essential points, which may influence your desire to drive around Los Santos in a Lamborghini or spawn yourself a ton of money:

1. Developer Rockstar Games officially opposes the use of mods in GTA game 5. At first, many could not believe it, because modifications have always been a part of all series, bringing a second life and additional interest to the gameplay. But with the advent of the Online mode, many began to use mods for their own advantage over other players. If you appear in GTA Online with the mod installed, you risk getting banned forever.
2. If you have installed NET Framework 4.0 and higher or Visual C++ 2013 for a 64-bit system, modifications may not work, but this is not a prerequisite.

Script mods also come in several types, which require special plugins to support. Mods with the .asi and .ini extensions are installed based on the Script Hook V plugin; with the .lua extension - based on Script Hook V and LUA Plugin; with dll, .cs, .vb extension - based on Script Hook V and ScriptHookV.NET.

2. Download.
3. Unzip files including folders to the root folder Grand Theft Auto V, where GTA5.exe is located.
4. Mods of the .lua family and configuration files with the .ini extension, if any, are copied to the addins folder (the full path looks something like this: Grand Thef Auto 5/scripts/addins/).
5. Launch the game.

Installation of script mods with dll, .cs, .vb extension based on
Script Hook V and ScriptHookV.Net

1. Download and install.
2. Download.
3. Unzip the files into the Grand root folder Theft Auto V, where GTA5.exe is located.
4. Mods of the dll, .cs, .vb family are copied to the scripts folder in the root of Grand Theft Auto V. The scripts folder is created after logging into the game. If you just installed ScriptHookV.Net, create the scripts folder manually. Configuration files with the .ini extension are copied there.
5. Launch the game!

All car mods are installed using a special archive editor for GTA 5 and other games - Open IV. It replaces the original game files with modified ones. For the application to work, you need an installed ASI plugin - . To install modifications on vehicles, do the following:

1. Download and install the program.
2. Launch the application and specify the location of GTA5.exe.

   • GTA5\x64e.rpf\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\
   • GTA5\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday2ng\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\
   • GTA5\x64w.rpf\dlcpacks\mphipster\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles\mphipstervehicles.rpf\.

1. We recommend that before each replacement, you export the original files to your computer, so that in case of errors, you can restore your original cars and vehicles.

How to avoid getting banned for using mods in GTA 5

Owners of pirated versions need not worry. Access to the Online mode is closed in any case, you can safely install any add-ons.

For those who bought the game, we recommend using the program. Firstly, it stores all mods separately and connects them to the game through a different folder. Secondly, it blocks GTA5.exe for GTA Online if at least one mod is enabled, and Social Club goes into offline mode. The program will only help with script modifications, and machines installed through OpenIV will have to be deleted before each entry into online mode.

If you have any questions or difficulties during the installation process, describe your actions in the comments below the article and we will help you with a solution.
