@krashadam im not using any trainer.. just the graphics mod and some car's textures replaced and yeah im playing online with mods if those r included

You're not required to use a trainer, you just have to run GTAO with mods for Rockstar to slap you with the ban hammer. You also fuck up everyone else' experience, because when Rockstar sees a modder, they get really fucking anal about it and ban everyone else (don't ask why, that's something that can't be answered) regardless if they are modders or not. And you don't even need to be in an empty lobby to avoid bans. Rockstar sees your account, and they see the files you're running. And whoever interacts with you gets banned as well. Have you seen some of the complaints about the bans after joining a server unaware with a modder in it?

EDIT: GTA5Mods has a policy about online modding, just in case you didn't know (and so does GTAO for that matter). You're basically affecting this site's rep as well, that's why Rockstar is banning the modders (1 of many reasons, anyway)

@DarkSoulGaming You're playing GTAO with mods?

Try a trainer like Simple Trainer. You can spawn DLC vehicles in the vehicle spawning section (read the description for an understanding of how it's supposed to work, you better have a numpad on your keyboard.) https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/simple-trainer-for-gtav

After that, download this: https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/mplowrider2-in-sp This lets you drive GTAO cars in SP. Rockstar added a little line to DEspawn any GTA0 vehicle you spawn. (They're trying to break modding every second they update their game. Don't let it stop you, though.

As much as seeing them in traffic, they need to be programmed to do so. I'm certain someone here knows how to do this.

...what? I'm confused, what are you trying to ask?

It's not working for me either. It's probably related to the update that Rockstar just sent out. I've tried removing my mods folder (not deleting), and GTA 5 still crashes upon starting. (It's before the Rockstar logos)

I don't think there's much we can do. Whoever can make it past this is a genius, and needs to put up a tutorial.

@jurr One other thing I will mention. It's been said that Rockstar is fine with modders as long as they don't take their mods online (which is absolute bullshit because (like I said) they intentionally update the game's code as they add new peds and vehicles so that modding tools such as ScriptHookV will not work again. So, fact: Rockstar Games doesn't like modders. Simple as that.

However, don't let it stop you. GTA 5 is dying off as RDR2 gets developed. The more trailers, the more pictures, the more videos, the more talk, inch by inch GTA 5 bleeds to death. (GTA 4 is still alive thanks to it's modding communities.)

Nobody knows the actual fate of GTA 5 after RDR2 gets finished, but whatever it is, let's hope it brings freedom to GTA 5 modding.

Another strange fact, GTA 5 was released 3 years ago, it took them 3 years (2010-2013) to make GTA 5 and then 3 years later GTA 5 is already hitting the dust. Like, what?

@FoxtrotDelta said in Why is it so difficult to create single mod that creates a folder to simply add on and replace mods?:

@jurr it can be more than 300 add ons, depends on the gameconfig file.

That, and it also doesn't help that whenever Rockstar updates their game, they also change the way the files work too, so some mods have to be updated again.

Limitations are a different thing. I agree-disagree with the fact that GTA 5 is awful for modding. What makes me agree is that it's a real pain in the ass to install mods, I agree, but this should be more so directed to the modding community so that some random person will come and fix the issue. Also don't have a shit-ton of script mods like I do.

I had also seen a page once (source: https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/204511957-GTA-V-On-PC-Not-working-with-Windows-10) about GTA 5 not working on Windows 10. Read the comment underneath. Apparently GTA 5 is not supported for Windows 10, and while it may work, does not mean you won't start running into problems.

I'll list some of my experiences, these may match for others too (comment if it does)

My first experience was fine. Played the first mission in Los Santos, drove around LS making money, all that stuff. Then I decided to play the game a day later, so I load up my GTA 5 the next day. Upon loading, my game is running like 40 frames a second, then back to 60.

I had it working a month ago, I had some real cars in my game (they were mostly 90s vehicles), a graphics enhancer, L.A Roads, map editor, menyoo, PC Trainer, all that jazz. And now whenever traffic spawns or pedestrians spawn, my game crashes, so I have to go into Director Mod, set traffic and peds to 0, only to be able to drive for 2 and a half some-odd hours until it crashes in a hideous way. It freezes first, then it takes like a minute for it to crash.

My point is it not only matters on limitation, but also Rockstar's sight in the modding community for GTA 5. They constantly update and they keep changing the way the game's code functions to stop modders.
