Sooo.... What now?

Man, I have based my life around GTA modding. When I was 8 years old, I searched up police cars on the internet. Then I found this wonderful police game called LCPDFR. Later I found out it was a mod for GTA4, and i was confused, thinking GTA4 was a car stealing crime ridden game. A 2 years later, my parents finally gave in and bought me the disc version of the game! Stupidly, I had no idea of how computers worked, and I put it onto a 5$ charity laptop. My friend who I played on PS3 helped me with the mods, and was a part of the RCMP clan. Yes, the big one that made youtube videos. I was able to run it once at about 5 frames a second on the lowest possible settings, and the computer died at about 5 minutes in. I knew that I wanted to do this more, and begged my parents for a better PC. Finally, maybe 4 years later as I was finishing up 8th grade, I got all As and Bs, and my parents let me customize a 3000$ gaming computer. No I am not rich, my parents were just trying to encourage me to do better in school. By the time I got it, GTAV and LSPDFR came out and I wanted nothing to do with it, but one day steam had a 50% off sale, so I got it. I have been part of the GTA Modding community for 5 years, and honestly it has changed my life. I don't know where I would be right now if I haven't found out about it, I might have not even got into gaming and into Rooster Teeth, a cool company and youtube channel. I have even made my career choise from LSPDFR and LCPDFR, and that is to have a career in my local police department, and maybe work a little bit of fire.
All I'm saying is, I dont know what to do now. If mods are really done forever, I'll try to stay active in the community but it will most likely be rare. Please tell me this is a prank or something, I don't know what to.

@TheLoneWolf293
Do you mean the changes that are happening here on the 5mods community?
-
@krashadam Everywhere man, I guess we wont be able to mod anymore, and that will make drastic changes to the modding community.
-
@TheLoneWolf293 It's more so that game companies just hate modders.
Head back to the older titles, they're easier to mod and don't have very many limitations, other than trying to run them on newer OS's...

@krashadam Shit man, I'm on windows 10, only to play Forza Horizon 3.

@TheLoneWolf293 mods are here , they are not going anywhere soon. Dont worry. Openiv works and other tools as well. We just want openiv to keep developing their programme.
Other than that our mods are not effected. We can keep on developing mods atleast for near future.
-
@FoxtrotDelta Kay, and someone said that GTA will be changing fie types in the next update... Thoughts on that?
-
@TheLoneWolf293 if that happens. then modding is dead for sure.
-
@FoxtrotDelta Dang. Hopefully not then.
-
@TheLoneWolf293 do you have a link or article that claims R* might change file type of encryption? because that's alot of work.
-
@FoxtrotDelta Nah, just rumors so far but I'm all over this, if its true I'm sure ill find it.
Also, I have a bit of a hunch. Correct me if I am wrong but, Take Two are the publishers of GTAV right? If so, why do they have any say in this? It should be Rockstar who should be telling us what we can and can't do.
-
@TheLoneWolf293 Take two is the parent company. that's why.
-
@FoxtrotDelta Ahhh.
Also there is a dude saying that that rumor was to incite fear on modders...
