@meimeiriver I have done that. Closed out Steam, checked all running processes to make sure nothing is still running in the background; I even tried uninstalling the new download. When I did uninstall it, there were 4 folders still in the Grand Theft Auto V folder, that for some reason, I could not access, nor delete: X64, Installers, Update, and _CommonRedist. Now I gotta figure out how to gain access to delete these.
@eaztbay Hunh, that sounds like that might be a viable workaround...thank you!
It was bound to happen. I had a system crash and was forced to wipe and reload my computer. I went through the process, downloaded GTA V in to my C drive, not the program files or program files (x86), and then renamed the folder to GTA V Modded. Went into steam and it downloaded the game again. Now I cannot rename the new folder to GTA V Vanilla. I cannot seem to find a way to rename the folder. I even tried Unlocker and it won't let me. I have full control and all the permissions and nothing works. Any ideas? Thank you.
First, thank you all, I have managed to create to working versions of GTA V and I am rolling around in SP mods and it is wonderful. I was wondering, though, when a new update comes down the pike, how do I update the vanilla version to the latest version, without my modded delight updating, until I want it to? I have changed the Steam setting so that GTA V doesn't update automatically, but I am not sure how to force GTA V to update. Thank you.
@MAFINS oh!!! That's why I couldn't find them! Oh that makes things so much simpler. Thank you @MAFINS, I appreciate the info and the response!
I have spent a few hours sifting through different forums and posts to see if there is any other trainer other than Simple Trainer that will can go to an add on menu and spawn an add on vehicle. I haven't been able to find if Native Trainer or Menyoo has a similar function. I use simple trainer, but I like the UI of native trainer and menyoo and hoping to replicate. Advice is always appreciated.
Thank you all for the patience in explaining this process and suffering through the painfully stupid questions. I sincerely appreciate the assistance.
@meimeiriver that is excellent advice, I am definitely going to do that. The last thing I want to do is bork something really important.
OH! That's brilliant! And since I am pointing steam to the Vanilla folder, it will only update that one. That's awesome, thank you so very much. Where do I put the batch files, do these take the place of shortcuts to the .exe files? I assume I can find how to create a batch file with a google search?
