The best GTA 5 mods. Since its PC launch last year, Grand Theft Auto 5 has been flooded with thousands upon thousands of user- made mods—so much so this is our third run at adding to an already extensive list. Since we last visited the scene, it seems the modding community has tired of what might be considered .
On the last page, we'll tell you what you need to install your mods. This article was originally published on May 6, 2. September 1. 7, 2. We're always updating it, though, so check back later for more. A warning before we start: Rockstar has clarified its stance on modding, and has said it does not ban players for modding their single- player game. Still, don't ever use mods in GTA Online, and to play it safe, don't join GTA Online with single- player mods installed.

GTA V: Liberty City This mod transports GTA IV’s pseudo interpretation of New York City into Grand Theft Auto 5. At the moment there’s not all that much to it—no civilians, no cars, no cops, no robbers—but there’s something wonderful about wandering around this faux Manhattan on your lonesome nonetheless. It’s essentially I Am Legend minus the rubbish plot. Dragons VGTA 5 has been treated to a few dragon script mods in the past, but none as sophisticated and fun as Julio.
NIB’s Dragons V. All the standard mythical winged beast credentials are delivered with aplomb: breathing fire, flying, snatching pedestrians and hurtling them into the air. You'll need the dragon models created by Quechus. Incredible Hulk Script. Much similar to the above (and its Ironman counterpart), this mod underscores the the entertainment value in throwing caution to the wind and tearing Los Santos to shreds. Doing so as the Incredible Hulk is something you really must experience, as the joy that stems from ripping lamp posts out of the ground and playing baseball and/or golf with police cars is second to none. These and more await those who enjoy the journey more than the destination.

Superhot Mod is a modification that applies this uber- cool mechanic to GTA 5. Naturally, this aids combat to no end, but is particularly useful when scoping out groups of gangs or if you’re masterminding an attack at distance. Gang Hideouts. Speaking of scoping out gangs, one feature sorely missed from GTA 5 is Read Dead Redemption- style gang hideouts. So long as you have the Open. Interiors mod installed, Gang Hideouts adds over ten raidable enemy HQs, as well as a handful of antagonists—such as Corrupt Cops an Dam Hippies. GTA 5 Pride. Los Santos Pride lets players celebrate Pride on the faux- LA streets in a display of colour, togetherness and unity. Backed by Stockholm Pride—the biggest Scandanavian Pride festival in the world—Los Santos Pride is the result of a collaboration between a host of GTA 5 modders and adds a non- hostile parade to the game.
Poke Ball Poke Ball is Pokemon Go as you’ve never seen it before, yet is pretty much exactly how you’d expect it to unfold in GTA 5. Armed with six Poke Balls, you’re tasked with throwing them towards NPCs before the latter is sucked inside. Until weakened your captives are likely to escape, thus roughing them up a little is required. Once made yours, they’ll then fight by your side. GTA RPGThis massive mod turns GTA 5 from a sandbox criminal shooter into a more traditional sandbox RPG. It adds dialogue trees, character customisation, level ups and perks.
Don’t expect Bio. Ware levels of choice, but it does make the game feel more like something made by Ubisoft or Bethesda than Rockstar’s usual fare. Download it here. The Red House. I can’t imagine anyone feeling that GTA 5 doesn’t have enough . This pack adds 2. AI bodyguards to back you up while you take them on. Army at Five Stars.
In past GTA games, achieving the highest wanted level resulted in the army being unleashed to hunt you down. This isn’t the case in GTA 5. The worst opposition you’ll ever face is a SWAT team and the FIB. This mod lets the army join the chase again, coincidentally giving the player a better chance to hijack military vehicles.
Download it here. Fire Breather. This is the fire breather mod. It enables your character to breath fire.
It also works if you’ve used a trainer to transform yourself into a dog, which means you can play as a fire- breathing dog. Curiously, the mod does not make you fireproof, so caution is advised when travelling forward lest you run into your own searing flames. Car Jetpacks. Flying cars! Lazy joke about how we were all promised flying cars in the 1. Anyway, while we didn’t get flying cars we did get giant virtual crime sandboxes, which is probably a fair trade in the long run. Especially as we can now put flying cars in our giant virtual crime sandboxes, with the aid of this mod. Huzzah! Single- player snow.
For those who want something a little more Christmassy than the traditional GTA V, this mod covers San Andreas in a fine blanket of snow. It’s called Single- player Snow because there is also a GTA Online version of the mod, but I don’t recommend using it until Rockstar clearly explains its policy regarding mods and GTA Online.
SA-MP (San Andreas Multiplayer) is a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Steam Community: Grand Theft Auto V. Police Mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 on PC. Grand Theft Auto 5 PC ( Mod Review) Grand Theft Auto V.
Custom Number Plate. Only vacuous, egotistical nonentities spend money on personalised number plates, but since that’s who you play in GTA, this script makes a lot of sense. Simply get in a car, hit a key, and type whatever you want have it instantly appear on the number plate. Now you can finally put .
For the garages that modify vehicles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, see Mod Garages. A Modification or mod is an alteration to a game. Grand Theft Auto modifications are created by fans after the game's release, and are not supported nor endorsed by Rockstar Games. Modifications can be obtained from many Grand Theft Auto websites and fansites. However, there are restrictions on editing and distributing the modification, so always ask permission from the author. There are methods of modifying console versions, but these are complex and usually break the license agreement of the game and the game console. They consist of the added model description with corresponding textures and collision data.
The details come to Design & Trend via the mod's official website.
Examples are the Pleasure Island mod for GTA Vice City and the WTC Modification for GTA San Andreas. Some modifications of this type come with their own objects in the form of model and texture files which the player must import into the IMG archive of the game for it to work properly. These could alter details of missions or even add entirely new missions. The mission script file is responsible for what- happens- when, so modifying it can achieve almost any effect. Some of modifications attempt to restore hidden features in game: Ghost Town in GTA III, scenes for adults in GTA San Andreas. Creation of modifications of the given type began after release of the GTA III, the first GTA game that contained an appreciable protagonist model. Pedestrians modifications also often appoint to the given category.
The wooden bat with the help of a mod. Vehicles - Modifications of this type add new cars, boats, planes & helicopters to a GTA game, or change existent vehicle colors and handling, sometimes even replacing certain cars with a new hi- poly modeled and textured version of them. These are the most popular kind of modifications (as also the lungs for realization), often united in large thematic packages.
Entire communities have built up on San Andreas Multiplayer and Multi Theft Auto based around certain mods, such as modern airliners and warplanes. They are usually provided as thematic packages. These mods usually have their own custom script but don't interfere with the main.
Script mods are also sometimes known as . Script mods usually start the player off with maxed- out muscle, a wad of cash, all cities/bridges unlocked and sometimes with an entire arsenal of weapons to use.
Graphics are commonly attached to Map mods, although single Bitmap (. GTA Anderius - one of the few finished total conversion of GTA San Andreas, this screenshot also includes a custom skin & weapon model. Major graphics mods fix lighting effects in the game to make it more realistic. Sprite effects like fire, smoke, or even the HUD can be changed via graphical modifications.
Modifications to the weather cycle can also be considered as graphical modifications. TCs generally change everything in that GTA game, including the map, vehicles, pedestrians, players and missions. A few TC mods been made, and there have been many more planned that have never reached a release. Most TCs made for GTA San Andreas. That is explained by the time of occurrence of ready tools for development in all aspects and growth of a community. Examples are the notorious Grand Theft Auto: Great Britain, Grand Theft Auto: Criminal Russia and GTASA: Liberty City, which is still in development for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and the fully completed Grand Theft Auto: Anderius, which is only available in the Russian language. The basic criterion for a modification is changing the original game 'content' files, and these programs do not touch those files.
These programs can change many different things, ranging from the player's health, armor, weapons, skill and even location; to being able to spawn vehicles, modify the current vehicle (e. Trainers can also be used to give the player access to Grand Theft Auto Online- only vehicles such as the Hydra. These programs allow players to play online with other players on public servers, or offer 'head- to- head' competitions between directly connected players. Types of gameplay provided may differ between different realizations, but usually are versions of FPS- like deathmatch/CTF or rally/street races. Examples are Multi Theft Auto, Vice City Multiplayer and San Andreas Multiplayer.
Display of these restrictions are well known drops of road textures, delays of LOD textures on buildings when moving fast and traffic unification with current protagonist car driven. Some of these enhancers also apply modern shader post- processing effects to a game's graphics.
Noted enhancers are SA Limit Adjuster and ENBSeries tweakers. Shown here is the Gravity Gun from Half Life 2.
Some things, like car colors and handling, weapons characteristics, and pedestrian relations, can be changed easily because all of the necessary data is stored in plain- text files, with basic guidelines for their usage from the game's developers in file headers. However, creating more advanced modifications (such as entire buildings or cars) are trickier, and usually requires some advance experience in creating models for games. Google Sketch. Up is a good program for creating building models. DS Max, Lightwave and Zmodeller are also used.
Texture creation is also not so simple; textures must match with specific game engine limitations and should be organized by special order into TXD files. First, the mission script for a game must be presented in compiled form, which requires use of special compiler/decompiler tools for any changes. Second, script language is not officially documented, and worse, each script editor has their own interpretation of it. Finally, many script features depend on hardcoded functions in the game executable, which can lead to unexpected troubles with different usage approaches, game region versions, official patches, and even it depends on end- user hardware. This results in mission modifications that are usually simple gameplay missions. The most often used mission script editor is Mission Builder by Barton Waterduck and its derivative, Sanny Builder.
It is strongly advised that you do not attempt to do more than what you are capable of. Do not expect to be able to recreate your favourite car in a few hours.
Many modifications take months. VCMM uses its own file format VCM, and mods can be downloaded in this format from many different websites. It does the same thing as the Vice City Mod Manager. Therefore, a new car, weapon or clothing will replace the existing one and all installation is reduced to work with IMG archives and little editing of one or two game files in text editor. Always do backup of files touched before any changes occurs.
Some mods are made as file replacements. Mods come in form of archives which you must unpack to original game`s directory. This simplified installation causes large files to download. Other mods come with special installers (mod installers), which automates work with IMG archives and text- files editing.
Both methods are usually incompatible with other mods present, so you must install them over special fresh installation of the original game. However, if you install a modification that edits or replaces the mission script file, you will have to begin a new game (except in rare cases), or use a provided savegame created for that specific modification.
The game will crash immediately if you've tried to load an old savegame file. It is advised to either obtain a complete savegame or uninstall the offending mods if you intend to progress the game's story. Seen here is the First Person View mod for GTA San Andreas. When this mod's First Person view is activated, CJ's face becomes glitched whenever the player views themselves in a mirror. Modifications that were badly coded (mainly missions) or contain many hi- quality textures and models may result in game performance degradation, jerky framerate and various graphical glitches, especially on old hardware. This included bank details and Pay. Pal logins. Although the offending creator was caught and punished, and the offending code and mods removed ('cleaned' versions would later appear, lacking the malware code) this pushed the risks of installing script mods to the limelight - Such scripts may easily contain malware or programs designed to alter or steal data.
For example: replacing helicopter model with airplane model to change its appearance without using other mods as these do not work on console. Modders use a script for the game called a 'Mod menu', which is similar to a trainer (See Non- Modifications). Using this Mod menu, the modder can do many things.
These include. Customize their character to look like Pedestrians, characters from GTA V or even the Impotent Rage cosplayer and the game's many animals. Detonate every player's vehicle within a set radius or across the whole server. Spawn large amounts of Money bags - This practice is known as 'Money Dropping'. Spawn or drive rare and unobtainable vehicles such as the Cargo Plane and the Space Docker. Spawn and attach objects to players or themselves. Tune and mod other player's vehicles at will. Make themselves or other players invulnerable.
Enter player's apartments at will (usually followed up with money dropping). As Rockstar constantly fights to keep the game fair, modders are often banned for their antics or blocked temporarily from accessing GTA Online. However, it's a constant fight between the game's updates breaking the modders' Mod menus and new versions of these tools being released for the Modders to use. There is no guarantee that all modifications you download will work, or whether the instructions will be complete.
You should make yourself familiar with simple well- known modifications (such as cars) before attempting to install larger and more complex models. Normally, the Tug can't be tuned. New peds - cop, SWAT, FBI, Army, paramedics.
