We've found the best place to find GTA 5 mods is a website named Our recommendation? The installation process for each mod that you download will be different, and the corresponding website or Github page will often point you in the right direction.
Usually, it's just a case of dragging the files you download into your main GTA 5 directory or the mods folder you created while setting up OpenIV - which we explain in the coming sections. If you want to install GTA 5 mods, you're going to need a few important tools. First up is OpenIV, which is an editing and archive management tool for modding Rockstar-developed games.
You can pick it up from this website. Download the file, boot it up and choose your language. Once that's done, install OpenIV on your computer and then boot the software from your desktop.
Pick 'Windows' underneath Grand Theft Auto 5 to continue with the mod setup. If you have the game on Steam, it will be within a folder marked SteamLibrary. Once that's done, click Continue, and OpenIV will start searching for the encryption key, and then load a little file explorer page of its own, dissecting your GTA V installation.
You should be prompted to create a Mods folder during this process, which you'll want to agree to. For hijinks out in the open world, there are Strangers and Freaks missions , the military base and spaceship parts to find. Want to explore more beyond the main game? This tool mods your installation of GTA 5 so that it can read and activate custom script functions.
Download the ZIP from the web page, extract it to your desktop, open the bin folder, and drag the contents into your GTA 5 installation folder. The Native Trainer file is a little mod menu and is optional. On the page, download the ZIP of the latest version and follow the same process as above to add the extracted files to your game directory. From there - the modding world is now your oyster, but just make sure to consult any documentation and scan the files with your antivirus before you install anything just to make sure.
A fresh install should wipe your mods if you need to rollback to a clean version of GTA 5, but you can also remove specific mods that you don't need using the file management system. Also, it's worth bearing in mind that some popular mods may be found beyond the GTA 5 Mods website, either through Patreon pages or other online mod hubs. Then, once you've installed the mods you're interested in, it's just a case of booting up the game from your launcher of choice and enjoying them!

Again, refer to each mod's installation instructions. It's a powerful utility that allows for the editing and saving of GTA game files, and it's now being developed for GTA 5. Different mods use OpenIV in different ways, so we can't really give you a general list of instructions: read the directions on each given mod's page. Keep in mind, OpenIV makes actual changes to game files, so we suggest making backup copies of any game files you change. You can download the latest version of OpenIV from the official site.
The Map Editor is required for mods that add new areas, like islands and buildings, to the Los Santos map. You can also use it to spawn and place objects, navigate with a freecam, and save changes you make to your own map. Most mods have their own activation keys and controls. Some are customizable, some aren't.
If you plan to use a lot of mods as I did this week your keyboard is going to fill up fast with all the mods vying for space. Advice: if you try a mod out and plan never to use it again, delete the file before you forget about it, or eventually you're going to get some overlap as different mods try to use the same keys. The alternative way to handle this is to download a mod-manager.
There are quite a few to choose from now, but arguably the most popular is the functionally titled "GTAV Mod Manager".
