@NateMan74
felt the same when I started out in 2016 even having years of IV modding behind me, so you're not alone

important thing would be to take it step by step and not get too frustrated I guess

what would have your first interest, Graphics or Vehicles or Gameplay?

Are you also experiencing reading problems or just learning in general?
I'm asking because those YouTube videos go soooo fast its hard to grasp anything

We also have some written guides on how to like ikt's Quick Guide to modding V »

@NateMan74 it tells you step by step in that topic linked above

@NateMan74 said in dont understand how to instal mods need help:

could you help me?

first up:

Download and install the latest Script Hook V. Alsways re-do this step after a R* update is pushed.
Download and install Community Script Hook V .NET and copy the ScriptHookVDotNet.asi and ScriptHookVDotNet2.dll in the main game folder

then:

Install OpenIV and its files, this will ensure you can use a mods folder
see, all files modded/altered, go into that mods folder leaving the games original (vanilla) files intact
Using OpenIV you are going to use an edited gameconfig.xml file that controls memory values
so the game can hold more content, starting off with the vehicles
download this 1972 Chevrolet Impala, follow the instructions in the archive
and where it says update/update.rpf/common/data make sure you're editing the update.rpf archive that you first copy to the mods folder
(because, once again, we do not mod files outside the mods folder), so mods/update/update.rpf/common/data it should be
To actually drive the vehicle ingame, use Simple Trainer for GTA V
download and place it into the game's root folder (where GTA5.exe is)
and if all goes well, you'll be able to use the Trainer by pressing F4
then go to the Vehicles section, select 'Spawn vehicle by name' and type impala72 and press Enter...

Best of luck!

ReNNie

@NateMan74
you just copy the archives that need editing, starting with update.rpf

NateMan74

ReNNie

you copy GTA V\update\update.rpf to GTA V\mods\update\update.rpf

I made these videos to try to help get Nate going with modding. Tried to do them slowly and explain little things that aren't explained in other tutorials. Would love feedback from others as to the quality of them, I do know I made a few minor mistakes in some things I say, but nothing that will be an issue. I am planning to do more on the other things, next one will concentrate on custom_maps folder and map mods. For now I just wanted to get him started with the basics and add in one car he requested.
