So do mods actually work on this game anymore??
-
So after a little while of being away from the game due to having issues with it i have returned to the game and have already encountered issues.
i have all the base stuff in (openiv and script hook) and have followed all the information i can.
with open interiors and menyoo it was working fine yesterday but have installed one addon pack and the game no longer wants to load.
Any explanation as to why this is or is every mod just broken?

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.

@Yosuke Like many people, I have been having add-ons crash or simply not load ever since Cayo Perico. I've isolated the issue to the DLClist.xml by testing everything other mod one-by-one. Strangely, certain add-on cars will work for me and others wont, with or without heap & packfile adjusters and gameconfig. Nothing anyone has suggested affects it. The same cars won't load, some of which were released after Cayo Perico.

@PermissionToLand Care to tell what car(s) are you trying to use? I can try to download & install them, see if they work on my end.
I used the modding guide I found on this site, installed a couple of plugins, scripts lore friendly cars and even some tanks and planes, all of them work in my game. I'd get occasional crashes from time to time, but that only happens when I abuse menyoo functions excessively. (For example, manually set myself a full wanted level, blow the hell out of those five-o's and then delete everything using clear area function.)

@Yosuke It seems very random, maybe 60-70% of them don't work, but others will. This one I've had in my DLClist for a while and it will show in Menyoo, but just won't spawn when you click it:

And BTW, I cleared out my DLClist so that I only have the 4-5 add-on cars I want in there, and even still, some won't load.

"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."
