Why does my game crash after installing an add-on?
Make sure you followed the Read-me steps properly. Triple check the steps. If it still crashes, try using a new gameconfig.xml.
Use this one.
Why don't my add-on vehicles have sound?
Your game is outdated, or you are using a pirated version. Update to the latest patch.
Why the Automatic Spoiler doesn't rise/Aero Flaps don't work/Ruiner 2000's parachute doesn't deploy/Aqua vehicles sink?
Your game is outdated, or you are using a pirated version. Update to the latest patch.
The game downloads and replaces my modded files with originals!?
You're not using the mods folder. Create one in the GTA V main folder.
Why my scripts don't work?
Make sure you have the latest versions of Script Hook V, NativeUI, Script Hook V .NET, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package for Visual Studio 2013 (x64) and newer versions.
Make sure to put the mod files in the right place.
How to install an add-on/replace vehicle?
Refer the Readme, it's usually in the mod archive. There are some good tutorials as well.
I replaced a vehicle model, But when I spawn it, it's still the Vanilla vehicle, Why?
It means there's an updated Vanilla model. To fix this, put the model in the latest Patchday DLC.
- They're located in Grand Theft Auto V\update\x64\dlcpacks
The New DLC cars disappear after I spawn them!?
Download this mod, it will solve the problem.
Script Hook V is not working after a new patch/update!?
Just wait patiently until the new version comes out. Usually after 2-3 days.
Tuning parts of vanilla vehicles don't appear suddenly!?
An add-on is conflicting with vanilla vehicles, to fix it, open carcols.meta and carvariations.meta in dlc.rpf\common\data.
Change the Kit ID and vehicle ID numbers to something else.Read this thread for more information.
FPS drops after installing a graphics mod.!?
If your PC isn't high end, lower your graphics settings. If there's multiple Reshade presets, use the best one.
