@JohnFromGWN you should censor each others country to protect the kids

@JohnFromGWN it was "random attack calgary" on the search bar, I knew it would return a bunch of stuff, heard from a guy that lives there

But would probably work on many places up there:

I think it is a USA/Canada thing.

@JohnFromGWN No grudges at all lol. I'm from Brasil. That was just a random piece of information I had running in background in my brain since last week that I could use now or never. I've seen in some topic you're from Canada, but completely forgot that, it was not personal

The blood pool textures are on /update/update.rpf/x64/textures/fxdecal.ytd

I believe it'll do the trick if you just replace all of them for 1x1 transparent png. You'll be looking fxdecal_blood_pool*, fxdecal_splatter_* and I believe pool_* as well.
Hadn't done it myself so you get the opportunity to fail

Given the kind of content you mentioned, maybe this could go further on what you are looking for:

Can't help you with the character swap.

@JohnFromGWN Game is rated 17+, if you are that old and have access to this game, you should definitely know that those stuff can happen. Aleatory proof:

So it's not that the game invented it. Shall we ban every WWII movie? Of course not... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

On the other hand, I let my son play the game. He is 3 years old. So I'll use Menyoo to set "Never Wanted" and "Everyone ignores the player". This alone reduces a lot of the violence on the environment, I'll also be by his side all the time when he is playing(he uses the controller while I'll help he keeping on track with the keyboard). I also use invincibility, but that's just to avoid constant loading. But I don't remove the gore, as I want that falling from a building do look painful, you know...

A few weeks back he was playing, and he was over accelerating in a turn and did run over a ped. I said "you need to be careful with the people on the streets, son", to what he answered "this is a videogame, dad, there are no people in there".

So really, if people do take good care of their children, they'll understand them better and stop blaming videogames...

@JohnFromGWN said in R*'s & T2's future perspective on GTA 5 modding after 6 comes out:

We got drugs, gratuitous violence, blood, cannibalism, misogyny, racism and racial stereotypes, homophobia, and much more.

I had Carmen Sandiego, Claire Redfield and Lara Croft when I was a kid. All of them really badass. So GTA not having a female lead character is just because it was avoided really, which I find troubling indeed. Why not?

Everything else you mention is depicted in a neutral manner. Those stuff are real and the problem is that they exist, not that they are in a game. Specially the cannibalism.

I don't think it is gratuitous tho. Let's keep V in mind. Franklin suffers cause he's black, that's clear, so he'll do what he can. Michael is good on big stuff, also a very troubled soul, using alcohol to escape his shit mess family. Trevor just lacks every single thing a person would need to achieve any sort of mental stability.

It is ugly most of the time, but it is not gratuitous. There will be some moms club in US saying that's the proof games(or whatever) make our kids violent, but shit parents were always there. What can we do?

@JohnFromGWN said in R*'s & T2's future perspective on GTA 5 modding after 6 comes out:

The reality is none of those will be tolerated in today's environment

It was never really "tolerated". It was always controversial. Trevor shocked even me lol

Yet the leaked footage depicted the protagonist as a girl, robbing a restaurant, keeping lots of people hostage and there was even her walking in a strip club and it was not bad at all.

@MissySnowie I believe GTA6 will be great. Map should be gigantic and the story deep and probably the best in the series. But the revenue GTA5 got is very unlikely to happen again soon.

The main thing is everything new wanting to be big will need to support ray tracing, and you kinda need to keep some consistency on what people get. GTA5 runs on DX10, it is a massive amount of hardware capable of delivering good experience, so that'll probably be the major barrier. Thus why they can't simply shut it down any soon.

People will mod GTA6 and will keep modding GTA5 because people like to mod. I bet you guys spend a lot(really) more time modding than actually playing.

Modding legally may become harder, but it is already a PITA and barely legal anyway so whoever cares will simple care less, given enough time.

It won't work like this. Start from somewhere, do something, ask what to do to proceed when you're stuck.
Right now you're just asking too much at the same time. No one will be able to help you like this.

@MissySnowie 3:44 here, this?
