This and the trainer have taught me that the Lifeinvader building is flammable. And also that firefighters will enter buildings to put out fires, when there was no in-game reason for them to ever do so.

The latest OpenIV update supposedly fixes the crashes that have been occurring lately.

OpenIV crashes, or in-game crashes? If you mean in-game ones, should I rebuild all the rpfs I rebuilt with the previous version of OpenIV?
Still can't add the streamedpeds_players.rpf to update.rpf without having the game crashing while loading the story mode :,( I should bug GooD-NTS about it eventually... I mean, it's the file that will be used for main character outfit mods and whatever after all.

In-game crashes. There was supposedly a bug in the code.

No crashes yet, cautiously optimistic that it was all due to OpenIV, and the update fixed it.
Also someone's made a turbulence mod. Haven't tested it myself.

What's "rebuilding"?
MrRoflWaffles

As far as I know it basically repacks the folder you've modified. I'm no expert though mind you

Haha thanks.
Downloaded a few mods and I'm using the mod manager from reddit.
Really cool tool. No way I would manage those mods manually. For now I'm not messing with rpf files. Too much hassle.
edit: I think I'll just stick with the FOV mod. Don't see myself using any of the others for more than a few minutes of fun.

PSA: DO NOT USE THE NOCLIP OR ANGRY PLANES MODS. THE CUNT MOD AUTHORS PLACED TROJANS IN THE .ASI FILES.
http://www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftAutoV_PC/comments/35xjyk/psaalexander_blade_confirms_noclip_mod_and_angry/
Luckily Malwarebytes quarantined the offending file for me when I used Angry Planes.

So these two then?
https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/angry-planes
https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/noclip
They should be taken down, and the authors banned.

Moreover, the mod sites should really start verifying the mods before letting them be uploaded. I'm pretty sure Nexus does this.

There any mod yet that allows me to walk in first person instead of jogging?

It's a damn shame NoClip is affected, it's pretty decent. Anyway, I hope this encourages some devs to develop a more advanced NoClip script; no wonder the author of Simple NoClip disappeared and didn't fix the ladder bug nor respond to any feedback...

Wow. Well I guess that might be what this was because of, then:
Heads up for everyone, friend of mine who has been installing all sorts of mod related stuff recently has had his PC security compromised, money and info stolen etc, and the most likely culprit right now is some infected mod download.
I don't want to sound alarmist, but I guess here's a friendly reminder for everyone: be mindful when downloading things from websites you're unfamiliar with and run virus/malware scans often (Win Defender, Malwarebytes, etc).
Stay safe, folks
Good to see it's been identified!
Which lines need to be changed to remove CA?
Ah nevermind, it should be chrom_aberration_coeff i guess.
Yeah, this sucks. I downloaded and installed the NoClip mod but never actually even used it. I noticed the executable running in the background, but I assumed it was some bug with the .Net plugin because if I closed it after GTAV ended it would stay closed.
I just changed all my passwords, sucky situation and hope not too many others were affected by it.

You're going to want to make sure it hasn't done things like disable Windows Defender / edit your registries (which it did to my buddy who had his money, steam account items etc stolen because of it).
I bet tons of people were infected and aren't even aware. Those two mods were featured like everywhere; the guy behind this thing sure is a criminal genius. Publishing working, intriguing mods when there are so few that everybody with the slightest interest in modding jumps at them. I still can't believe I've fallen for this being well aware that asi are highly privileged executables... But downloading and compiling the malware during script execution in-game and thus being undetected by nearly every AV scanner sure is some sneaky shit.

So what's the best visual mod out so far? Visual V is good, but it completely removes smog in extra sunny weather (which itself is more common with this mod), which exposes the bad LODs.

From the forum thread on this mod it looks great, a lot clearer/cleaner with much better draw distance but someone said while flying it went from solid 60 to 25fps which is a huge drop.
Hopefully more stuff like this comes out though because it's a step in the right direction.

WHy can't there be a mod that only fixes the sounds instead of completely changing the guns? This is GTA, not esports.

Yeah, really not a fan of the mod. Stupid shit like only allowing you two carry 2 rockets for your RPG, and the screen shaking all over the place when you fire an assault rifle in third person.

Here's awesome mod... Has multiple gameconfig for traffic and peds...

Excellent, thanks for sharing. Definitely ups the immersion.

Heh was just about to comment how stable even the "unstable" max level of peds/cars was, pulled out the nade launcher, pressed fire towards some grid locked cars on the freeway, insta crash
Just walking around though there's almost no perf hit with the max density applied. Rush hour on the freeways is in full effect, now I can relive my commute anytime!

Added a traffic video i just took, testing them out, this is the New York traffic 8x traffic/peds gameconfig

Hmm I just tried that one and for some reason it looked a bit low in density compared to your video, I just used the replace function in open iv, wonder if I need to delete and add manually. Didn't have an issue with doing that for the max preset. Will fiddle around with it and see what I can do.
Edit: must have been an error rebuilding or something, swapped it out for another and it looks fine now.
I think the "gridlock" preset is my ideal balance between peds and traffic. Not enough to make driving around a challenge yet plenty in view to give off the vibe you're looking at realistic density.

So in order to mod anything I need to install open IV? I just wanna remove chromatic aberration and fog.
Dick Justice

Yeah, you'll need OpenIV to do that. Otherwise you can only use script mods.

Yoga for Trevor please.
The Crime and Police Rebalance is a must in my opinion. You can get away with crimes if you are sneaky enough, and fighting cops is actually fun, especially when the FIB and army drop in.

Dito. This is the thing I want most and I've been holding off playing the story until it arrives
Wonder how a mod that actually simulates rush hour traffic spikes would pan out, or if the day/night cycle goes way too fast for that to simulate well.

It would be interesting to see the Liberty City map ported over to GTA V. There was a GTA V map mod in GTA IV way before it even came out for next gen consoles.
Dick Justice
Banned
A non shit-filtered, vaseline-covered version of Liberty City would be cool.
More than anything, I want to see modifications to ragdolls so they act more like they did in Red Dead and Max Payne 3, or even IV at the very least.

It would be nice to have both maps side by side and have a bridge connect them. I'm just dreaming because I know it would be a ton of work but I would gladly pay for a mod like that.
Thought I would make a guide for people thinking about modding but aren't sure how to do so safely. This method SHOULD be safe. It's also the easiest method I know of.
1. Download Bilago's mod manager and set it up: https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/gtav-mod-manager
2. I recommend you enable the disable mods on exit option and the block gta5.exe with the firewall option just for safety
3. Download ScriptHook (needed for most mods): https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/script-hook-v
4. Place scripthookv.dll and dinput8.dll into the mod folder created by the mod manager in step 1
5. Download OpenIV (needed for many mods): http://openiv.com/?cat=23
6. Install OpenIV and leave it for now (until you need it for mods)
7. Some mods may also need a Lua plugin for ScriptHook. It should tell you in the mod installation instructions on the page. You can get it here: http://gtaforums.com/topic/789139-vrelhook-lua-plugin-for-script-hook-v/ Just place the files in your mod folder again. You need lua_sdk, main.lua, and the libs folder
8. Download any mod you like from https://www.gta5-mods.com/
If the mod needs RPF editing:
9a. Copy the update.rpf file from your GTA directory to another folder on your computer. Maybe where you installed the mod manager
9b. Open the rpf file with OpenIV.
9c. Follow the instructions on the mod page to copy over the files necessary to the rpf
9d. You'll get a warning that you need openiv.asi. Click ok and copy the file over to the mod folder created by the mod manager
9e. Open the mod manager, click import rpf, then follow the wizard. Choose your modded rpf, the normal rpf in the updates folder, and the name it anything
9f. To test it out, open the game through the mod manager and check your main installation folder. There should be a new rpf file and one with a .original suffix
If the mod only needs ScriptHook:
10a. Download the mod and paste the files inside the scripts folder in your mods folder created by the mod manager. Follow any mod instructions
Hopefully that's clear. I found it difficult to get the rpf stuff to work with the manager, and finding a good guide was a little hard. This is far better than doing it all manually. Ain't nobody got that time.
