Dear modding-experts,

I think I´m on the right way figuring out my problem with add-on mods since the doomsday patch.
Therefore: could one of you experts please describe the basic procedure to install a regular (dlc.rpf) mod with openIV (with existing "mods" folder)?
Like: 1. copy the "car" folder, containing dlc.rpf exactly in THAT folder. 2. open / edit exactly THAT (location - main GTA V folder or mods folder...) dlclist.xml.
Please be sure I read all threads dealing with that, I promise! I also watched a couple of tutorials. But there are some many different explainations and sometimes even completely contradictory that I´m really confused now how to do right. Plus: it seems the procedure really changed during the last 3 years with every new patch...

I´m asking that possibly stupid question because within the last couple of days I tried to figure out why I can´t get any mods running since the doomsday patch and I believe there could be an issue with the location of the add-on files. I mean how does the game "know" that it shall load all the vehicle-files from the new "mods/update/x64/dlcpacks" folder instead from the regular update/x64... one? I guess at some point the program code of the GTA V.exe says: now load all types of vehicles and look for them in update/x64... . I admit I have absolutly no clue of programming games but just by creating the mods folder, copying some files in it and adding this typical <item> line in the dlclist.xml, the game.exe doesn´t automatically know that the vehicle data must be loaded now from another location?!
Maybe my thoughts are complete bull shit...then feel free to tell me (: and how to do right.

Thanks a lot...

Hi everyone,

maybe anyone of you knows the answer and can give an advice:
since I installed the newest game version from december no vehicle mods are working. Not even mods that were uploaded 3 or 4 days ago (of which I assume to be already programmed for the latest game version). As soon as I add the typical line in the dlcxml the game doesn´t start anymore. It always says" game data are damaged" and I should use this verify option. And also this ends up with the same error message after 5 minutes. The only possibility to get the game started again is to delete update.rpf and replace it by the native one, I fortunately secured in an extra folder (even deleting the added item lines doesn´t work)
On the other hand the native trainer that came together with the new scripthook version works fine, GOD mode, spawning original cars and weapons...
Is anybody here having the same problem or even could fix it?

Thanks to everyone who can help,
Marcel

Hi everyone,

I recently installed a few mods (so I can´t say which one causes the error). Now the problem is the following: as soon as I bring any car to LSC and change the color this new color changes into something that looks like a black stealth-amor (many black hexagons) but not homogenious on the whole car. Most of the time its distibutet on the roof and the front window. It´s hard to describe, next time I play I´m gonna take a screenshot.
Does anyone else had this problem before?
Mods I installed: Lambo centenario (Add-on), Lambo Veneno (Add-on), Bugatti Chiron (Add-on).
Installed via OIV.
