Thanks again eshenk. Sorry for being one of the one's creating the issue by asking for help. Mods just doing what they have to do. I will have my files backed up properly next time though for sure.

@eshenk I replaced just the GTA5 file, GTAVLauncher file and instalscript.vdf file and everything works fine including the mods without doing anything else. Thanks again for those files. Will try not to make the same mistake again. Am going to do a proper backup later to day, but for now, I am going to cause major havoc in the GTA V world. Edit: Almost forgot. Thanks a bunch for the help. You are awesome dude. Edit: I forgot that I also used the old steam_api64.dll

@eshenk Yes thank you. Hope I can get it working.

@uec397 If anyone here could create a quick download of gtav.exe launcher.exe, vanilla update folder, installscript.vdf for those of us screwed out of playing it would be great. If not then oh well. Edit: didn't see you last post. Thanks if you are doing that. All of the game makers with their forced updates is really annoying and screwing over the modding communities.

@eshenk Well, I haven't spent a lot of time with the game until recently. Played it all the way through once without mods and shelved it for a long time until recently as I don't haven't had a lot of time to play my games until recently, so I didn't think of making sure my backup was recent and good.

@Claymmorez Something happened to my backup. I don't know what. I can build a mean computer but am terrible at figuring out mods and software. Oh well.

@eshenk I read where you talked about the steam_api64.dll and then posted you did that and had it working, but never mentioned the other stuff. My backup is bad and don't have that other stuff. I let the download continue once I saw that post where you said it was working. Wish I would have waited since you obviously need more than just that one file. You could of mentioned that in the post on the mod thread.
