hi mate, thanks for that advice. Ive deleted the whole thing and i'm downloading a completely fresh install and will start again. lol.

@car-mod-fan probably 4 days ago mate

@cass just tried that fella, I click 1 to enable mods, then it says cannot locate bat file. wether I I choose create or launch straight away

alas I have done that many times

scripthook dll

how do I tell it to "enable" mods then?

excuse me for being a bit thick, but doesn't openiv enable the mods automatically? I do however have mod manager installed, even with that, it doesn't work

im completely puzzled by it, like I say, I haven't done anything different from before.its a puzzle indeed

ok I think ive done this right, however I don't see an openiv.log anywhere?

im sorry if I came across a bit abrupt. I do appreciate any help provided.

so basically I had a "copied" version of gta, scripthook trainer worked fine with that, however mods didn't, I was led to believe that mods were picky with copies so I bought it.

so now, nothing works with the legitimate version.

first of all, I followed the guide on this very forum to the letter. https://forums.gta5-mods.com/topic/14693/quick-start-guide-to-modding-grand-theft-auto-v

( I had a pirate version which scripthook worked on, then decided to support the developer ) .

if I knew how to show you my log file do you not think I would have done so?
