Hello!

So the title says it all really but, when I try to load up GTA it wont load. It loads seemingly all the way and then right before its finished the game crashes.

I've been going a little mod-happy with add-on cars lately so im assuming thats why its crashing, because before I downloaded a lot of these cars I wasn't having any issues, but all in all I have 52 add-on cars and I've seen plenty of people with over 100 or even hundreds so I feel like I should probably be fine with 52 no?

I've tried doing the latest gameconfig, heap adjuster and one other adjuster thing but none of those seemed to have fixed the issue for me.

Any ideas?

I really don't want to delete all the cars, as that's the main reason I even got into all of this was for the ability to have these cars in the game.

Also I don't think its much of a computing power issue, my laptop is fairly powerful and I have zero other programs open or running.

Appreciate any help I can get

Managed to get that to work, thanks!

I also managed to get pretty much all of the other mods I wanted to work too

One issue I'm running into is getting the office garage (60 car garage) mod to work. Not sure why. I'm kind of confused as I'm seeing theres a bunch of different mods that say they do the same thing, and some of them ask you to install each other. I tried looking up videos on youtube of someone installing the office garage but I couldn't find one. Do you know how to do that mod? Not only for the garage to work but also to be able to save cars in the garage (one of the mods said something like "Garage spawns on map but you can't save cars in the garage")

Hahaha love that mod! Thats amazing lol

I gotcha though, Ill have to do some research and figure out how to get them all to work:)

One strange thing I'm running into right now is I downloaded the 100% game save mod, and got it to work, but for some reason it wont let me buy any houses in the game whether in person or via dynasty real estate on the phone. I also noticed every app on the phone is greyed out except like two of them. Any idea why this might be the case? Almost like the game is confused between the game save being 100% done but also it thinks I just started the game? Not sure.

Thank you for all this! Managed to do all of that and now the cars are working

I did try to download a couple of other non-car related mods though and they don't seem to be working, but that's not a big deal. One of them was a mod that supposedly adds the houses and garages from online to single player but I dont think it worked https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/single-player-apartment-spg-net

Another was GTA V Remastered and, tbh I just can't tell if it worked or not lol https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/grand-theft-auto-v-remastered-add-on

And another was the tony stark mansion, which also didnt work

Not sure what I'm doing wrong with those.

In terms of my goal of being able to have a big garage where I can keep all of my real life supercars in it, what would my next steps be? First I'd need a house with a garage where you can see a whole bunch of the cars together. I'm sure if I just search mansions on here though I'll find one. The other thing though is, will I be able to save my modded cars there? So I don't have to spawn them each in every time I open the game up?

Thanks!

@JohnFromGWN Hey John! So I've managed to follow along that video and download the necessary things but, unfortunately the first few car add-ons I've tried downloading arent working and im not sure why.

I tried downloading a testarossa add on like he does in the video (I believe I downloaded a different testarossa than he did). I created a folder in GTA V>mods>update>x64>dlcpacks called "Testarossa" and within that folder I put the .rar file that I got for the testarossa. Then I went into OpenIV and went to GTA V>mods>update>update.rpf>common>data and went to the dlclist.xml file in edit mode and opened it up and wrote a new line at the bottom saying <Item>dlcpacks:/testarossa/</Item>

I saved it, backed out, went into GTA V and tried to spawn the car and it said invalid. I've managed to get the other mods to work like the screenshot thing and the menu trainer, and when i use that menu trainer it lets me spawn other cars, but when i go to the bottom of that menu to type in my specific car that I want to spawn (idk how else to find the add-on cars) and I type in "trossa" like the description of the testarossa link says to do, it won't spawn the car.

So I tried downloading another car, I just looked up the most downloaded add-on car and it was an R35 GTR, so I followed all of the same steps (made a new folder called "R35GTR", put the .rar file in it, went to the dlc xml and added a new line for the gtr, then went in game to spawn it and typed "GTR" like it said to) and it didnt work either.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong Any ideas?

@JohnFromGWN Thank you! I've just purchased and downloaded GTA V from steam. About to download those two files now too and watch the video. Hopefully it all goes smoothly haha

@JohnFromGWN

Thank you!! This answers a lot for me really appreciate it!

Hello!

I need help lol. I have never owned a pc game, never modded a game before, etc.

I don't currently own GTA V on my pc (using a laptop).

I want to get GTA V, and start to use mods (specifically car mods).

This is going to sound odd but, I don't even really want to do it to enjoy the game itself. I have GTA V on my Xbox and generally play it there. The only reason I want to do this on my laptop is so that I can import real life cars, put them into my garages, and just be able to walk around them and compare them etc. so that I can try and rank them lol. I'm strange I know.

In a way though I suppose that makes things simpler for me than your average gta v mod enthusiast because I don't care to do plenty of other mods, all I want is GTA V with real cars (that I get to pick) in it. Also some sort of unlimited money cheat of course so I don't have to worry about buying these cars.

Can someone please give me some advice? Literally I have zero clue what I'm doing lol. I'm hoping it's not too too complicated, I understand basic computing and programming but not to a crazy extent.

Do I just download GTA V from rockstar? Or do I have to get a special mod-friendly version elsewhere?

Do I need like a mod-installer? Or do I just start downloading mod files and putting them in the game somehow without any installer?

How do I go about installing all of the car's?

How does upgrading cars work? Can I take a real life car mod to los santos customs and paint it? Or do the cars come how they're modded and you can't change them?

How much space does the game + say 200 real car's require? I have about 120 GB space remaining as of right now.

Are viruses ever really a concern with car mods downloaded from this website? I would try to only download the mods with lots of good reviews of course.

Do certain mods like... clash? Or can I just download whatever ones I want?

Is my goal of getting all these real life cars into garages where I can walk up to them and compare them, smarter to attempt in gta online or offline?

Any non-car related mods that are just must-haves? Like things that you would recommend to anyone that's just getting into modding

Sorry for my lack of knowledge in this stuff, I'm trying to learn haha, and thanks in advance
