@Yosuke said in So do mods actually work on this game anymore??:
First off, name the pack you installed, and the EXACT error message or situation you ran into, that's how you get some actual help.
Of course mods still work for GTA V, modders won't keep pumping out new stuff otherwise. You're just missing some steps... these things may not be the most important, but they MIGHT make your life easier.
Heap Adjuster
Pack file Limit Adjuster
Alternative gameconfig.xml
Having only OpenIV and Script Hook V is not enough, you need those items I mentioned or the game will sometimes refuse to load, maybe even some more if your game is heavily modded. I only play with menyoo, Benny's Original Motor Works for single player mode, some car mods, some pedestrain models and a few simple, car related scripts. And even with so few mods I have, I still got those things installed, never had any issue with my game.
Also, to be safe, make sure you place modified stuff inside and ONLY inside "mods" folder.
"Pack file Limit Adjuster" why still use this? The guy who makes Gameconfig literally pinned a post saying "Packfile Limit Adjuster no longer needed you can remove it from your game folder."
