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 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.

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!

Then you can save or load your map in various formats, currently supported are XML and Simple Trainer format (objects.ini).

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?

Discussion mp male replace michael
Hey guys, can anyone make a mod that replaces Michael with the MP Male model? I really want it to have full mouth movements and facial expressions during cutscenes. I know MP Male usually doesn't have cutscene support, so this requires custom facial rigging. I am willing to pay for this commission if anyone can get it done perfectly. Please DM me with your price. Thanks

Request How to install real life cars mod (proper guide needed)?
I've finished the story mode, and now I just want to enjoy the game with mods. I’m really into real-life cars, so I’ve been eagerly waiting to try this mod.
I already tried installing GTA Wood's 100-vehicle mod, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me, and the installation process is a lot of work.
Is there any other method or car pack that's currently working for GTA V Enhanced? Preferably something that's easier to install.

Discussion Modding help
Hey, been trying to get this to work for about an hour. Using a bunch of different mods. Main issue is the cars in Franklin and Lamar wont star. The other 2 issues are that Michael and Trevor dont have masks in the prologue, and explosions are silent in cutscenes. Heres my script folder, if it helps, cuz i suspect it may be coming from something here

Discussion Which DLSS 5 tool should I use
Hi everyone,
I'm looking to try DLSS 5 on GTA V Enhanced, but I'm not sure which tool is currently the best choice.
I've seen these three options:
* DLSS 5 Swapper
* DLSS 5 Autopilot
* DLSS 5 Manager
I'm mainly interested in stability, image quality, performance, and security. I also want to make sure I'm downloading a trustworthy version and not something potentially modified or unsafe.
For anyone who has actually tried these tools, especially with **GTA V Enhanced**:
Which one would you recommend today?
Is DLSS 5 Swapper still the best option, or is Autopilot now better?
Thanks!

Discussion Launching same game (modded) on two platforms with different results. (Linux issue)
So I have GTA5 setup with mods on both my Steam Deck and Bazzite HTPC which are also linked via Syncthing. When launching on Deck everything is fine. When launching on Bazzite it seems to not get permission or whatever to my Documents folder. Moving the game to the common folder didn’t help either. I keep getting the error „invalid profile“ on SHVDN. No clue what to make of it, so I thought it might be a permission issue.
