I've lost my game discs... So I am thinking about buying the game again on steam... can we still mod with a steam version?

7-disc version, the R* warehouse version and the steam version are all able to run mods just fine afaik
There are little differences which files to backup in case of an update event, I think?
-
@dannythezuko The installation location and the DRM are different but that's all. The program code and assets are all the same.
-
OK so my modded game files from before are from when I last played it in 2017, can I simply copy them over to the directory or will I need to add all my mods again?
-
@dannythezuko
The latter. Copy the latest update.rpf into the mods folder and start fresh.

You let Steam install the game normally (all whopping 60 gigs or so of it) and then start adding mods. There might be a quicker way with making Steam think it's already installed and then to verify the files again. You'll certainly need a Steam copy of the executable, launcher and DRM files, so installing it cleanly from Steam is your most straightforward option.
