Original words by Graham Smith, updates by Dave Irwinįor some, the only mod they'll ever need is one that's already present in the game. It's extremely simple, but it requires a couple of pre-installed files before most mods will work, and it can be intimidating if you're new to modding and the instructions are never all in one place. If you're interested in learning how you install mods for the game, I'll briefly lay out some basic instructions below. Not only does it come with two other utilities, but many mods also rely on its convenience so that you don’t have to manually update each mod you have for every game update.Grand Theft Auto V modding hasn't been given any support by Rockstar, but this is PC-land and PC players will not be restrained.

While it will constantly need updates to stay error-free, it’s still a handy mod for running custom scripts. Always updateĪll in all, Script Hook V is a great utility to have if you’re keen on getting mods working right on your GTA V. It’s only too bad that this won’t work in GTA Online because the mod disables custom scripts when you go into multiplayer. You already get Native Trainer with this tool, as well, which adds various new gameplay cheats to your playthrough, such as the ability to spawn all vehicles in the game and add all weapons to your arsenal. However, if you have a previous ASI Loader, you’ll need to delete it. This mod already has it if you happen to not have one installed yet.

Then, in order to load the ASI plugins-ASI being a mod library file that’s used to alter gameplay-you need to have ASI Loader installed. Specifically, copy ScriptHookV.dll to the game's main folder, which is where GTA5.exe should be located. To install Script Hook V, you need to extract the ZIP file, open the Bin folder, and copy the files. This compiled list of script plugins will only depend on this mod, so when the game updates, just update the mod to fix things. This is what Script Hook V does-you can basically run your game without worrying about the game’s scripts getting errors due to the mods you’ve installed. Fortunately, you can use other mods as a solution.

However, making these mods work can be tricky, especially if their coding starts conflicting with each other.
