Unlike Grand Theft Auto 4, in the fifth version of the game, mods are installed without any extra effort and any troubles with installing various programs.
The modifications themselves for Grand Theft Auto 5 exist in the form of two types. These are regular and script modifications.
The usual ones are those mods that make any changes to the game files. How to install mods for the game GTA 5, which are called regular? Regular mods are installed by replacing game files with modified ones through the Open IV program, which very often causes a game crash or errors.
Script mods are additional files that do not affect the game files, do not make any changes to the game files, and thus can be easily deleted.
The developers of Grand Theft Auto 5 are against the installation of various mods, as their use in the online version gives an advantage over players who do not use cheating. Therefore, by installing a mod, you risk getting a ban, which you cannot get out of.
In order to take advantage of the cheating advantage, you first need to know how to install a mod on GTA 5 PC, especially scripted ones. To support them, you need special plugins. If you want to install mods with an *asi or *.ini extension, then you will need the Script Hook V plugin. If the *. Lua, then Script Hook V or LUA Plugin. And if the extension looks like * dll, * .cs, * .vb, then the Script Hook V.NET base is required. The main thing is to use the current and updated versions of the plugins. Where to install mods in GTA 5? To install, you need to unzip the Grand Theft Auto 5 game folder with the *.exe file and simply copy the necessary *.asi and *.ini files. You can use mods.
There are mods that do not require special installation, but are installed automatically. But this option does not apply to some car mods.
So how to install a car mod in GTA 5? Only with the help of the Open IV archive editor and the installed Script Hook V plug-in. Installing the mod on a new mode of transport is carried out in the following way:
1. Launch the Open IV editor and specify the path to GTA5.exe.

Problems and solutions:
I see a frequent question in the comments about the error that occurs at the beginning of the installation of some mods in the game.
I will answer this question once and here.
If you have downloaded any mod and the installer refused to install it in your game, then be sure to check if all the add-ons, or as they are also called DLCs, are installed on you.
The fact is that the game is updated and, accordingly, mods are made for certain updates that you may not have.
I also recommend installing a licensed game purchased from Steam. This is guaranteed to mean that all DLCs are installed in your game.
If you downloaded GTA 5 from a torrent, then you will have to look for the latest version of the assembly.
But there is another option, you can put up with the fact that the mod is not for your game and download others.
Important! Those who use a licensed game will have to follow the updates of the ScriptHook program.
Although the game updates are rare, but after the update the game stops running and you will see the following error.
What should be done? That's right, install a new version of ScriptHook from the developer's site, or from our site. We regularly update the program, follow our news.
In this article we will tell you how to install mods (add-ons) for the GTA 5 game and what you need for this. For beginners, the installation process may seem complicated at first glance, but do not despair! In fact, everything is simple, you just need to carefully read the instructions, and any mod will be installed on your version of the game in a few minutes.
Mods for GTA 5 are divided into ordinary and scripted.
The former replace the game's internal files, and if something goes wrong, the game may "break". Therefore, using such mods is risky! Also, the effect of such additions will be almost impossible to cancel. If you do use them, make backup copies of the files you replace.
In its turn, script mods do not affect important GTA 5 files in any way, so they will definitely not harm you, and they can be easily deleted at any time. In this manual, we will talk specifically about script mods. It is very easy to recognize them: almost always such an addition will be an archive, inside of which there is a file with the .asi extension.
So, how to install script mods for GTA 5? They also come in several types, depending on which the installation process will be slightly different. In total there are three main types of installation of mods for GTA 5:
- Via Script Hook V
- Via Script Hook V .net
- Via Lua Plugins
No matter what type of installation your mod needs, Script Hook V must be installed anyway, so let's start with it.
Script Hook V is a library without which it is impossible to install any script add-ons with the .asi extension on GTA 5. In simple terms, these are just 2 files that need to be copied to the game folder. And with the help of them in the future you will install any mods. Please note that Script Hook V will not work with . This is because the Rockstar developers ban anyone who uses plugins online. But fear not, because this library is programmed to disable all mods before entering a multiplayer game, so you will not face sanctions. And if you use a pirated version of the game, then you will not be able to enter GTA Online and there is nothing to worry about at all :)
How to install Script Hook V
Installing Script Hook V is very easy. You need to download this Script Hook V archive. After unpacking it, you will see inside a folder with three files. Two of them will be in dll format. They need to copy the folder with GTA 5 (one level with the file that starts the game - gta5.exe). This is the library itself. And the third file is called NativeTrainer and has the asi format. This is already a real mod-trainer, which is archived just for example. Copy it to the same place as the previous two - to the root directory of the game. After that, go to GTA 5 and press the F4 key. The menu of the trainer we just installed will open. Thus, you can check that everything was done correctly. If you do not need this trainer, just delete this file from the game folder. All subsequent additions to GTA 5 will be installed in the same way - by simply copying the .asi file to the game folder.
The screenshot below shows the contents of the archive - 3 files that need to be copied to the game folder. 
Script Hook V critical error
Very often, gamers encounter a problem when the game does not start, and a Script Hook V critical error pops up ... The reason for it is banal: the version of the game has probably been updated, and an updated plugin library is required for it. If you encounter this situation, just delete the three files mentioned above and search the Internet for the latest version of Script Hook V. We will regularly update the link on our website, so you can download the latest version of this program from us.
Now let's talk about what other types of scripting plugins for GTA 5 are and how to install them.
Script Hook V .net
The peculiarity of such add-ons is that they are written in the programming language of the .net family and have the appropriate extension. The installation process is similar to the previous one. You need to download the Script Hook V dot net archive, unzip it, and transfer the SDK directory and the ScriptHookVDotNet.asi file to the GTA 5 folder. After that, transfer all new additions on this platform that you want to install to the scripts directory (if it is not already in the game folder, just create it in the GTA 5 root directory).
The picture below shows exactly which file and folder you need to copy from the unpacked scripthookvdotnet.zip archive to the folder with GTA 5. Text files can not be copied.
To make it all work without failures and errors, install these programs from Microsoft: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and Microsoft Visual C ++ Redistributable Package.
LUA Plugins
And the last kind of scripting plugins you may encounter are add-ons that require the LUA Plugin to be installed. We act as before: download the Lua Plugin archive, and unpack all its contents into the root folder with the game. You don't need to install anything extra. All subsequent add-ons of this type that you want to install on GTA 5, copy to the scripts/addins folder.
The screenshot below shows the contents of the LUA Plugin.zip archive. It needs to be moved to the root of the game directory.

How to install a script in GTA 5
In order to install and run a script mod, you need to define the type of script mod. Usually, mod creators write in the instructions what tools are needed to install a particular modification. But the type of modification can also be determined by the extension of the sprit file:
Regular scripts:
Scripts based on the LUA plugin:
.NET based scripts:
DLL
- CSS
- D.B.
So, you have defined the script type. If this is an ASI script, then just copy the file with the .asi extension to the root directory of the game. But if you have a script based on LUA or .NET, then you will need to install additional components.
Installing scripts based on LUA
To run such scripts, install Script Hook V as instructed above, then find and download the latest version LUA plugin:
Installation
Send LUA based scripts to "scriptsaddins" directory For example:
C:Program FilesRockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto Vscriptsaddins
After that you can start the game.
Installing NET scripts

Installation
Place the files from the archive in the root directory of the game.
After that, copy the downloaded scripts for GTA 5 to the "scripts" folder:
C:Program FilesRockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto Vscripts
Launch the game and enjoy!
Installing script modifications in GTA 5 on PC is quite simple. In addition, you should distinguish between regular mods and scripted mods. Unlike the latter, script mods for GTA 5 PC do not make changes to the game files, and therefore cannot cause any fatal errors or compatibility issues.
Attention! We want to warn you right away that if your PC has the .NET Framework version 4.0 or higher installed, or Visual C ++ 2013 for a 64-bit system, then the mods may not work (this is not necessary, but it can happen).
How to install a regular script mod for GTA V on PC:

- You can play and run mods.
How to install a script mod based on the ScriptHookV.Net platform for GTA 5 on a PC:
- Download the Script Hook V plugin. Install by extracting the files to the GTA 5 root folder. ( If the plugin is already installed, then skip this step.)
- , by moving the files from the archive to the root folder of the game - a special plugin that will allow you to play with mods based on the .NET platform.
- Mod files with extensions .dll, .cs, .vb must be copied to the scripts folder, which will be located in the root directory of the game. It should be noted that the scripts folder appears only after the first launch of the game! In case you just installed ScriptHookV.Net, you just need to create a scripts folder in the root folder and put the mod files there. If the mod files come with a configuration file with the .ini extension, copy it there as well.
- Play.
In order to remove the mod, in the future it will be enough to get rid of the copied mod file in the root folder (if it is a regular script mod) or in the addins folder if it is a modification based on the LUA plugin.
Also, a very convenient program called , this program has recently been created, this program allows you to manage mods, including, disabling or deleting, without having to constantly go to the root folder of the game.
