100 Best GTA 5 Mods (2026): Must-Have GTA 5 Gameplay Mods

The best GTA 5 mods for Story Mode start with a short list of essentials: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET, a mods-folder loader (OpenIV on Legacy, OpenRPF on Enhanced), a memory fix such as a custom gameconfig, and a trainer like Simple Trainer or Menyoo. From there, LSPDFR and its plugins, NaturalVision Enhanced, Map Fixes and the GTA Online businesses and heists rebuilt for single player are the mods most worth adding. Grand Theft Auto V on PC comes in two editions, Legacy (the original 2015 release) and Enhanced (the ray-traced upgrade from March 4, 2025), and they are separate executables that mods do not always cross between, so every entry below lists the editions it supports. We checked the original 50 against their creators’ own pages on September 21, 2026, and again on October 13, 2026, and all 100 on October 21, 2026.

“Current version” here means the builds covered by Script Hook V’s July 15, 2026 release: Legacy 1.0.3889.0 and Enhanced 1.0.1158.13, the Kortz Center Heist update. Mod authors on GTA5-Mods also report a newer Enhanced-only build, 1.0.1158.16, from mid-September. Script Hook V’s page has not changed since July, and at least one Enhanced plugin (Resource Extensions, now at version 2.4) already requires the newer build. Many loved mods here were built for older game versions; mods are often updated after a patch, so we keep them, and each one’s status line says what its page supports as of October 21, 2026. This list is Story Mode only. Rockstar’s mod guidelines cover non-commercial single-player mods and exclude anything that touches GTA Online, so there are no Online menus and no roleplay servers here. For everything else on the game, see our GTA guides hub.

Essentials and Setup

Almost every other mod on this list needs some of these. Install them first, and update them first after every game patch.

1. Script Hook V

Script Hook V is the foundation of GTA 5 script modding. It lets custom .asi plugins call the game’s own script functions, and it ships with an ASI loader and a basic Native Trainer (F4 opens it). Alexander Blade updates it after each patch, and his page says it shuts the game down if you try to enter GTA Online, which keeps Story Mode mods out of multiplayer. The current release supports Legacy 3889 and Enhanced 1158.13, and the GTA5-Mods page alone counts more than 21 million downloads. Creator: Alexander Blade. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Download: Script Hook V on GTA5-Mods.

2. OpenIV

OpenIV is the archive editor that Legacy modding was built around. It opens the game’s RPF archives, sets up a separate “mods” folder so your original files stay untouched, and installs .oiv packages. Its GTA5-Mods page was last updated in December 2018 with version 4.1 and has more than nine million downloads. Its mods-folder plugin, OpenIV.asi, does not carry over to Enhanced, which is the gap OpenRPF and RageOpenV fill. Creator: OpenIV Team. Editions: Legacy. Download: OpenIV on GTA5-Mods.

3. OpenRPF

OpenRPF fills the gap OpenIV leaves on Enhanced. It loads modified archives from a mods folder, so you never touch the game’s original files, and it includes its own ASI loader. Its page is clear that Legacy files crash Enhanced unless you convert them in CodeWalker first. Version 0.3, from December 2025, was a compatibility update for Enhanced builds 1013.17 and newer. If you would rather run one loader on both editions, Alex106’s map mods now list RageOpenV as an alternative to it. Creator: Los Santos Multiplayer (Transmet, GiZz and Antasurris). Editions: Enhanced only. Download: OpenRPF on GTA5-Mods.

4. Script Hook V .NET Enhanced

Many of the most popular script mods are written in .NET languages, and they need a .NET script hook to run. This fork of Community Script Hook V .NET runs the same scripts on both editions, and version 1.1.0.6 arrived on July 14, 2026. On Legacy, some mod pages ask for the community version’s nightly build instead, and either works. .NET scripts go in a folder named “scripts” in the game folder, and most of the menu-based ones below also need LemonUI copied in alongside them. Creator: Chiheb-Bacha. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V, .NET Framework 4.8. Download: Script Hook V .NET Enhanced on GTA5-Mods.

5. Community Script Hook V .NET

Community Script Hook V .NET is the original .NET script hook: it lets mods written in C# and other .NET languages run in the game, and with more than 13.5 million downloads it is the third most downloaded file on GTA5-Mods. Many Legacy script mods below, including HKH191’s businesses and Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced, ask for its nightly build by name. The GTA5-Mods page still carries the 3.6.0 nightly from November 2022, while newer nightlies go up on the project’s GitHub, most recently 3.7.0 nightly 194 on October 20, 2026. Its developers closed a request for Enhanced support as not planned, which is why Enhanced players use the fork in entry 4. Creator: crosire and contributors. Editions: Legacy. Needs: Script Hook V, .NET Framework 4.8, Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (x64). Download: Community Script Hook V .NET on GTA5-Mods, with nightly builds on GitHub.

6. LemonUI

LemonUI is the menu library behind a large share of the script mods on this list: when a mod’s page asks for LemonUI, this is the file. Its author built it to replace the older NativeUI while keeping most of NativeUI’s menu elements, and it works with Script Hook V .NET 2 and 3 as well as RAGE Plugin Hook. Mods name the build they need, usually LemonUI.SHVDN3, while a few such as The Cayo Perico Heist in SP (entry 74) use the SHVDN2 build. Version 2.2 is from May 2025, and it has more than 1.3 million downloads. Creator: justalemon. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced (through Script Hook V .NET Enhanced on Enhanced). Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Download: LemonUI on GTA5-Mods.

7. LUA Plugin for Script Hook V

Some classic GTA 5 mods are written in Lua rather than C# or C++, and they need this plugin to run. It has more than 3.6 million downloads, one of the highest counts of any tool on GTA5-Mods, and The Savehouse Mod (entry 88) is one of the scripts built on it. Version 10.1 is from October 2024, and September 2026 comments are split on whether it still works, so install it on its own and test it before adding Lua mods. Creator: headscript. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64). Status: not updated since October 2024, and its page does not name a supported game build (checked October 21, 2026). Download: LUA Plugin for Script Hook V on GTA5-Mods.

8. Gameconfig for Legacy and Enhanced

The default game configuration runs out of memory pools once you add cars, maps and bigger mods, and the result is crashes. This replacement gameconfig raises those limits and lets you choose traffic density. The Kortz Center Heist versions (V37 for Legacy, V3 for Enhanced) arrived on July 15, 2026, and with nearly nine million downloads it is the most downloaded file in its category. On Enhanced, skip it if you use Resource Extensions, whose page says a modified gameconfig is neither needed nor supported alongside it. Creator: F7YO. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced (separate files). Download: Gameconfig on GTA5-Mods.

9. HeapAdjuster Enhanced

Heavy mod setups can crash with the “ERR MEM EMBEDDEDALLOC” memory error, and a heap adjuster fixes it by giving the game more memory to work with. This version is based on the classic HeapAdjuster, runs on both editions and is open source. Alex106’s map mods list a heap adjuster as a requirement on Legacy, while on Enhanced they list Resource Extensions, which covers the same job. Creator: Chiheb-Bacha. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Download: HeapAdjuster Enhanced on GTA5-Mods.

10. Packfile Limit Adjuster Enhanced

Every add-on car, map and DLC pack adds archives, and past a certain number the game throws ERR_FIL_PACK_1 and refuses to load. This plugin raises the cap to 13,000 archives by default, and you can go higher in its .ini file. Version 1.2 arrived in July 2026, and in September its author wrote in the comments that he had tested it on the newer Enhanced build 1.0.1158.16 and it works. Install it before your first add-on car. Creator: Chiheb-Bacha. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Download: Packfile Limit Adjuster Enhanced on GTA5-Mods.

11. fwBoxStreamerVariable and Decals Limit Patch

When too many map files load in one area, GTA 5 starts unloading parts of the world, which is why big map mods can make distant buildings and trees disappear. This patch raises that streaming limit and the decal limit, both set in an editable .toml file, and it credits CitizenFX for the fix. Map Fixes (entry 31) lists it as a requirement on Legacy, and Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced (entry 45) recommends it. Version 1.5.1 is from November 2024, and its page says to go back to 1.4 if the newer memory method crashes for you. Creator: Tanuki. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: an ASI loader (Script Hook V’s dinput8.dll). Download: fwBoxStreamerVariable and decals limit patch on GTA5-Mods.

12. Weapon Limits Adjuster

GTA 5 has a hard limit on how many weapons.meta files and weapon components it will load, and going over it while installing weapon mods crashes the game while it loads. This ASI raises both limits from an .ini file (512 files and 1,024 components by default), so you no longer need to edit the gameconfig for them. It has more than half a million downloads and a 4.8 rating. Version 2.2, from December 2022, added support for game build 2802, and Enhanced players were still asking for a version of their own in December 2025 comments. Creator: alexguirre. Editions: Legacy. Needs: an ASI loader. Status: not updated since December 2022; its page names build 2802 as the last build it added support for (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Weapon Limits Adjuster on GTA5-Mods.

13. DirectStorageFix

With DirectStorage on, the Enhanced edition holds open every file in the game folder, which stops scripts from writing their own config and log files. DirectStorageFix limits that to the game’s own archive files, so mods can save settings again and script developers can reload scripts while the game runs. Menyoo’s page asks Windows 11 users to install it. Creator: alloc8or. Editions: Enhanced only. Download: DirectStorageFix on GTA5-Mods.

14. Straight To Story Mode

When you are restarting over and over to test mods, the legal screens, splash screens and the Enhanced landing page get old fast. This small plugin skips all of them and loads you straight into Story Mode. It is open source, its page credits the patches to Chaos Mod V and alloc8or, and version 1.1 arrived in July 2026. Creator: Chiheb-Bacha. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Download: Straight To Story Mode on GTA5-Mods.

15. CodeWalker

CodeWalker loads the whole map as an interactive 3D world you can fly through, select objects in and edit. Map modders use it to build and place content, and on Enhanced it also converts Legacy-format files so they stop crashing the game. The GTA5-Mods page was last updated in January 2024, and Alex106’s mod pages say to get the newest build from the CodeWalker Discord server, which Enhanced players need. Creator: dexyfex. Editions: a standalone tool that works with files from both. Download: CodeWalker on GTA5-Mods.

Trainers and Creative Tools

Trainers are the Story Mode sandbox: spawn anything, change the weather, save outfits and cars. None of these work in GTA Online, and they are not meant to. If all you want is the built-in cheat codes, our guide to using cheats in GTA 5 needs no mods at all.

16. Simple Trainer for GTA V

Sjaak327’s Simple Trainer has more than 11.6 million downloads and has been updated since May 2015, most recently with version 18.4 on July 23, 2026. It handles teleports, vehicle spawning and tuning, time and weather, player models, bodyguards, and hundreds of objects and interiors, and it detects which edition you are running. Creator: sjaak327. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: Simple Trainer on GTA5-Mods.

17. Menyoo 2.0

The original Menyoo is the most downloaded script on GTA5-Mods, and this maintained fork, with more than 4.2 million downloads of its own, keeps it working on both editions. It is a full trainer, but players mostly love it for its object spooner, which lets you build ramps, sets and whole scenes in the open world and save them. Version 2.4.4 arrived on September 12, 2026. Its page lists the Legacy and Enhanced ASI loaders you need, asks Windows 11 users for DirectStorageFix, and says BattlEye must be off. Creator: MAFINS, ItsJustCurtis and contributors. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: Menyoo 2.0 on GTA5-Mods.

18. Enhanced Native Trainer

Enhanced Native Trainer (ENT) grew out of the basic trainer that ships with Script Hook V and turned into a complete menu. It customizes skins, vehicles and weapons, organizes teleports, saves outfits and cars, and supports controllers. Update 58 arrived in July 2026, with a hotfix on August 7. Its maintainers call it the trainer’s final major release, so expect fixes rather than big new features from now on. Creator: Zemanez, arewenotmen and others. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Download: Enhanced Native Trainer on GTA5-Mods.

19. Rampage Trainer

Rampage is the other big all-in-one trainer, with more than 1.6 million downloads. Its page credits a .json loader for add-on vehicles, alloc8or’s bypass for spawning Online vehicles in Story Mode and compatibility with Menyoo’s XML files, and a built-in hotkey manager lets you bind any option to a key. The Legacy build (1.4.7) is the big green download button, the Enhanced build (1.5E) is picked from the version list on the left, and the page was last updated on July 15, 2026. A few October commenters report its proof (invincibility) options switching off after a character swap. Creator: RampageDev. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced (separate builds). Needs: Script Hook V (plus DirectStorageFix, entry 13, if settings will not save on Enhanced). Download: Rampage Trainer on GTA5-Mods.

20. Add-On Vehicle Spawner

Add-on cars do not show up in the base game’s menus. This spawner finds every add-on vehicle you install and puts them in one searchable menu (F5 by default), sorted by class, make or model, with your own thumbnails if you add them. It also stops DLC vehicles from despawning. Version 1.7.1, from August 2026, added an option to spawn cars with every performance upgrade already fitted, and its 2026 changelogs add support for Online vehicles on Enhanced. If you are still deciding what to drive in the stock game, see our pick of the best cars in GTA 5. Creator: ikt. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: Add-On Vehicle Spawner on GTA5-Mods.

21. Map Editor

Guadmaz’s Map Editor brings MTA-style world building to GTA 5. You fly a free camera, spawn objects, peds, vehicles and markers, move them with the mouse, and save your maps as XML or in Simple Trainer’s format. With 2.6 million downloads it is a classic, but it is old, and its 2026 comments are mixed on whether it still works. Menyoo’s object spooner (entry 17) covers much of the same ground and is maintained. Creator: Guadmaz. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since July 2016. Download: Map Editor on GTA5-Mods.

22. Scene Director

Scene Director is built for machinima. It records actors on foot, in vehicles, in cover and firing weapons, then plays them back together so you can film multi-character scenes in the Rockstar Editor. Version 3.4 added stage lights you can move and set to flicker. Per its page, newer betas are posted on its Discord rather than on GTA5-Mods. Creator: elsewhat. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V. Status: not updated on GTA5-Mods since July 2017. Download: Scene Director on GTA5-Mods.

23. No Rockstar Editor Restrictions

The Rockstar Editor limits where you can put the camera and how far the free camera can travel. This plugin removes those restrictions, so you can edit the camera anywhere and in any view mode, and it also lifts the free camera’s range limit, turns off its collision and raises the FOV limit. Version 2.0 added Enhanced support, and 2.1.1 (July 28, 2026) fixed collisions not switching off during camera blends. For the game’s built-in filmmaking tools, see our explainer on Director Mode in GTA 5. Creator: alloc8or. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: an ASI loader (dinput8.dll on Legacy, xinput1_4.dll on Enhanced). Download: No Rockstar Editor Restrictions on GTA5-Mods.

24. Extended Camera Settings

Extended Camera Settings unlocks many of the limits Rockstar set on the in-game cameras and turns them into options you change in game and save as presets (Ctrl+B saves, F11 reloads). It is the successor to its author’s POV Camera Unlocker, has more than 336,000 downloads, and its commenters use it mostly to widen the cramped in-car field of view. Version 1.3.1 (October 2025) supports game versions through 1.0.3586.0, and October 2026 commenters are asking for an update, so it may not load on the newest Legacy build. Creator: CamxxCore. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable. Status: its page lists support through game version 1.0.3586.0, older than the current Legacy build 3889 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Extended Camera Settings on GTA5-Mods.

25. Real Time Handling Editor

Real Time Handling Editor is built for people who tune vehicle handling: it opens a vehicle’s handling data in an in-game menu and applies every change instantly, so you can adjust grip, weight or top speed and feel the result straight away. It loads and saves handling XML and meta files, draws the center of mass and roll centers, and covers cars, bikes, aircraft, boats, submarines and trailers. Version 3.1.0 arrived on May 22, 2026, and it has a 4.88 rating. Creator: ikt. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: Real Time Handling Editor on GTA5-Mods.

26. No Boundary Limits

No Boundary Limits patches a long list of the game’s boundary limits, every one of them listed in its config file, including a velocity cap and, since version 1.4, the maximum depth for submarines. It was made for Grand Theft Space, a mod that takes the game into space and requires it, and it has more than 414,000 downloads with a 4.85 rating. A December 2025 commenter says it only works on Legacy. Creator: alloc8or. Editions: Legacy. Needs: an ASI loader. Status: not updated since September 2021 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: No Boundary Limits on GTA5-Mods.

27. Chaos Mod V

Chaos Mod V is based on the chaos mods for San Andreas and Vice City: every 30 seconds it triggers a random effect. That could mean an RPG in your hands, every nearby car exploding, or every pedestrian dancing, from a pool of around 350 effects, and it supports audience voting for streamers. Version 2.2 added what its team calls almost full Enhanced support, with only the shader effects not yet ported, and 2.2.1 (May 2026) fixed bugs and the bundled installer. Creator: ChaosMod Team. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: Chaos Mod V on GTA5-Mods.

Visuals and the World

Graphics overhauls, effects and map work, from full lighting rewrites and bigger explosions to hundreds of small fixes Rockstar never got to.

28. NaturalVision Enhanced

Razed’s NaturalVision is the best-known graphics overhaul for GTA 5. NaturalVision Enhanced is built around the Enhanced edition’s ray tracing and reworks the weather, lighting, shaders, ambient colors, world textures, models and vegetation. Legacy players get the companion version, NaturalVision Evolved, from the same site. The free public download is on Razed’s site, and the team also runs a Patreon membership. Creator: Razed. Editions: Enhanced only (Evolved covers Legacy). Download: NaturalVision Enhanced on Razed Mods.

29. VisualV

VisualV was one of the first big graphics mods and is still one of the most liked. It rewrites every weather type from scratch using photos of Los Angeles, increases how far away lights are drawn, fixes the moon’s movement and size, and removes chromatic aberration from normal play. Separate builds for each edition, 2.0.640 for Enhanced and 1.0.630 for Legacy, were posted on July 17, 2026. Creator: CP and robi29. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced (separate files). Download: VisualV on GTA5-Mods.

30. VisualVanilla

VisualVanilla is an alternate take on VisualV (entry 29) for players who want the game to look like a better version of itself rather than a different game. It reworks every weather to stay close to Rockstar’s own colors, adds god rays from both the sun and the moon, re-enables fog volumes, moves the sun and moon to custom positions and draws lights and puddles farther away. It has a 4.9 rating from 148 votes, and the page offers separate Story Mode, FiveM and RAGE MP files, so download the one marked SP. Creator: Stryfaar. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Status: its final version, 2.0 for SP, is from December 2022 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: VisualVanilla on GTA5-Mods.

31. Map Fixes

Map Fixes corrects hundreds of collision, model, texture and placement mistakes across Los Santos and Blaine County, and the included Changes.txt lists every one. It is the kind of mod you stop noticing because nothing looks wrong anymore. Version 21.7.1 arrived on October 11, 2026, and the page now lists Bugstar Fixes as a requirement, so the two install together. Creator: Alex106. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced (separate files). Needs on Legacy: OpenIV or RageOpenV, OIV Package Installer, HeapAdjuster, Packfile Limit Adjuster, fwBoxStreamerVariable Patch, Static Bounds Limit Adjuster, a custom gameconfig and Bugstar Fixes. Needs on Enhanced: the latest CodeWalker, RageOpenV or OpenRPF, OIV Package Installer, Resource Extensions and Bugstar Fixes. Download: Map Fixes on GTA5-Mods.

32. Bugstar Fixes

Named after Rockstar’s internal bug tracker, Bugstar Fixes does for props, vehicles, weapons, characters and ambient scenarios what Map Fixes does for the map, with every change listed in the archive. Version 7.7 landed on October 13, 2026: it puts the “RG10” track back into the wanted-level music rotation, fixes the Sawed-Off Shotgun’s misspelled “12 Gauge” decal and adds sharper textures for some of Michael’s and Franklin’s clothing. Creator: Alex106. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced (separate files). Needs: the same tools as Map Fixes, plus Map Fixes itself. Download: Bugstar Fixes on GTA5-Mods.

33. Beta Map Restoration

GTA 5’s early trailers and screenshots showed a greener, busier map than the one that shipped. Beta Map Restoration rebuilds that cut vegetation and prop placement, using the promotional material as reference. Its page stresses that everything is remade from final-game assets, with nothing taken from leaked builds. Version 3.9.1 arrived on September 12, 2026. Creator: Alex106. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: the same tools as Map Fixes, without the Bugstar requirement. Download: Beta Map Restoration on GTA5-Mods.

34. Forests of San Andreas: Revised

This extends JRod’s Forests of San Andreas, with his permission, and fills the countryside with much denser forest. Version 6.0 (April 2025) added Enhanced support for Story Mode, and the page offers separate single-player and FiveM downloads, so grab the “-SP” file. Its author says it runs on the default gameconfig by itself, but in a larger mod setup you may need a custom gameconfig and heap adjuster. Creator: Larcius. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Download: Forests of San Andreas: Revised on GTA5-Mods.

35. GTA V Remastered: Enhanced

This is Larcius’s extension of le__AK’s GTA V Remastered map, made with permission, and it adds vegetation and scenery across the map. It was built to pair with Forests of San Andreas: Revised: use version 4.0 or newer of both and they do not overlap. Despite the name, the “Enhanced” in the title refers to the mod, and version 6.0 covers both editions. Creator: Larcius. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Download: GTA V Remastered: Enhanced on GTA5-Mods.

36. CityLights

CityLights adds thousands of hand-placed lights around the map, on highways, rural roads, parking lots, golf courses, the marina, and porches and garages across hundreds of houses. You choose between orange sodium streetlights and a cooler LED look. It was built for Legacy, but commenters in July and September 2026 report it working on the latest Enhanced build through OpenRPF and the OIV Package Installer. Creator: VisualParadox. Editions: Legacy (Enhanced works per commenters). Status: not updated since February 2019. Download: CityLights on GTA5-Mods.

37. Malibu Mansion

Malibu Mansion is one of the most liked map add-ons on GTA5-Mods, with nearly 2,000 likes and a 4.89 rating: a fully furnished waterfront mansion you can walk through, built as an MLO interior. Its page lists a six-car garage, a recording studio with a booth, indoor and outdoor pools, an outdoor basketball court, a gym, an office and several bedrooms and lounges. It installs as an add-on DLC pack with OpenIV and one line in dlclist.xml, so it does not replace game files. To see what the unmodded game lets you buy, read our guide to buying property in GTA 5. Creator: BigShaqNOKetchup. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Status: not updated since February 2022 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Malibu Mansion on GTA5-Mods.

38. Adaptive Headlights

Adaptive Headlights keeps car headlights level with the road as the car moves, and it swings the beams into turns as you steer. It also fixes headlights that the base game aims wrong and plays a start-up animation the first time you switch them on. Low and high beams have separate settings. Version 1.1.0 arrived in May 2026. Creator: ikt. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: Adaptive Headlights on GTA5-Mods.

39. Visual Paradise

Visual Paradise brings back the look of the original PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release: its weather, lens flares, lightning, clouds, Snapmatic filters and the unique “Cloudy” and “Stormy” skies. Optional files remove fog volumes, HUD blur and the blue lens artifacts at high PostFX settings. Version 2.7.2 arrived on September 9, 2026. Creator: Alex106. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: CodeWalker (or OpenIV on Legacy), a mods-folder loader and the OIV Package Installer. Download: Visual Paradise on GTA5-Mods.

40. 2k Water

2k Water replaces the texture of the game’s clear water, in pools, dams and small ponds, with a more realistic one, and its page says it also adds detail to shallow water near the ocean shore. It is a simple texture swap with nearly 1,500 likes, a 4K version is included, and an April 2025 commenter confirms it still works. Its install steps use OpenIV to replace water.ytd and graphics.ytd in a mods-folder copy of x64a.rpf. Creator: juiceproductions. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: OpenIV and its mods folder. Status: not updated since March 2018 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: 2k Water on GTA5-Mods.

41. Ambient FX

Ambient FX makes vehicle fires and smoke far more dramatic for every car in the world, not just yours: smoke trails can be seen blocks away, fire and embers look stronger, and a smog effect grows with the number of burning vehicles. It is a single script file with a 4.86 rating, and a September 2026 commenter calls it the best mod ever made for the game. An October 2025 commenter warns that fires never go out, which can drag the frame rate down in big police fights. Creator: Dilapidated. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since June 2017 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Ambient FX on GTA5-Mods.

42. Epic Explosions XX

Epic Explosions XX replaces GTA 5’s explosion effects with bigger, more detailed ones, adding a shock wave, higher-quality textures and fire that keeps burning on concrete and grass afterward. It comes in two styles, clearer or darker, each installed as an .oiv package, and it has a 4.81 rating. Commenters in May, June and September 2026 say it still works, one of them on Legacy build 3788, though its page notes that graphics mods can change how the explosions look. Creator: IIvELITEzX. Editions: Legacy (per 2026 commenters); Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: OpenIV or the OIV Package Installer. Status: not updated since November 2016 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Epic Explosions XX on GTA5-Mods.

Combat, Police and Realism

Mods that change how the game plays moment to moment: police that act like police, gunfights with weight, cars that handle like cars. For shaking the cops in an unmodded game, see our guide to losing a wanted level in GTA 5.

43. Better Chases+

Better Chases+ is a rewrite of Eddlm’s and Guadmaz’s Better Chases and Arrest Warrant mods, made with their permission. It makes wanted levels escalate step by step and police respond in proportion to what you did. It also adds arrest warrants, so escaping a chase does not wipe your record. Players still discuss it, and one August 2026 commenter on Legacy reports a crash in the warrants module. Creator: Daimian. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since June 2020. Download: Better Chases+ on GTA5-Mods.

44. Pull Me Over

Patrol cars will pull you over for speeding, tailgating, running red lights, using your phone, driving on the sidewalk, riding without a helmet and more, then hand you a ticket. It turns ordinary driving into a small risk-versus-reward game, and its page notes that it relies on police cars already spawning in traffic. Comments from 2026 are mixed, including one crash report in May. Creator: sorbas. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since August 2018.

45. Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced

Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced (RDE) is the big wanted-system overhaul: it raises the wanted level to ten stars, makes the law harder to shake at every level, and adds many new police peds and vehicles, some of which also appear in story and stranger missions. Its GTA5-Mods page, with more than 500,000 downloads and 3,200 likes, is no longer maintained and says updates now go to Nexus Mods and LCPDFR.com, where version 4.1.5 arrived on July 18, 2026. Its page says to install the .oiv over a clean game folder and that the wanted level will not work properly without the community .NET hook’s nightly build (entry 5). Creator: the RDE Team (Dilapidated, Jax765 and others). Editions: Legacy (it needs the Legacy-only community .NET hook); its page does not mention Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V, Community Script Hook V .NET nightly, OpenIV; the fwBoxStreamerVariable patch (entry 11) and a packfile limit adjuster are recommended. Download: Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced on Nexus Mods.

46. Cops: Back on the Beat

Cops: Back on the Beat puts police back on patrol the way the classic GTA games did: officers walk the streets and drive patrol cars, sheriffs cover the countryside and the Highway Patrol works the highways, with bike cops as well. Its numbers are tuned district by district so police are present without being everywhere, and version 2.1 merged its files with Rockstar’s latest population data. It installs as an .oiv package with no uninstaller, and commenters explain removing it by deleting its two files from the mods folder. Creator: Olanov. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: OpenIV or the OIV Package Installer. Status: not updated since February 2021 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Cops: Back on the Beat on GTA5-Mods.

47. Immersive Combat

Immersive Combat reworks every weapon, including Mk II guns and the latest DLC weapons. It changes damage, recoil, accuracy, ammo counts and reload speed, slows bullets and speeds up rockets to more believable speeds, and repositions first-person weapons so they feel like a shooter. Version 1.91, from September 24, 2026, works on both editions, fixes carbine aiming and adds a compatibility file for RDE, though its author notes an ammo pickup issue is still open. Its page warns about bright muzzle flashes for players sensitive to flashing light. Creator: Artupaky01. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Download: Immersive Combat on GTA5-Mods.

48. Ripplers Realism

Ripplers Realism retunes every firearm and launcher in the game, plus a few vehicles, to feel closer to their real counterparts: faster rates of fire, more responsive recoil, damage and range based on caliber and barrel length, and grenade launcher rounds that explode on impact instead of bouncing. It has a 4.82 rating from 254 votes, and a September 2026 commenter is still raving about it. Its page asks for Bakamania’s sound mod as well, and a March 2024 commenter found it made story missions much harder, so it suits free roam best. Creator: Rippler. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Status: not updated since December 2016 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Ripplers Realism on GTA5-Mods.

49. GameplayFixesV

GameplayFixesV is an open-source plugin that bundles dozens of optional fixes and features, each switched on or off in its .ini: the game’s unused crouch, grabbing ledges when you jump, locational damage, adjustable recoil, enemies disarming you as in GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption, and skipping the intro and Enhanced’s Online landing page, among many others. It is written in C++ without Script Hook V .NET, which its author says avoids many compatibility problems, and he believes it is the only mod that fixes the “low priority props” bug on Enhanced. Version 3.4 arrived on October 10, 2026, and its page flags the options that can interfere with story missions, so read the .ini first. Creator: SuleMareVientu. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: GameplayFixesV on GTA5-Mods.

50. Disarm

Disarm brings back a feature from GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption: shoot an enemy’s hand or weapon, or hit them with a stun gun, and they drop their gun. Pedestrians can disarm each other and you, and police fall back on a secondary or melee weapon when they lose their main one. It has a 4.91 rating from 107 votes, and an August 2026 commenter says it still works on Enhanced, though some disarmed enemies keep attacking. Creator: jedijosh920. Editions: Legacy (Enhanced per one 2026 commenter). Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since May 2016 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Disarm on GTA5-Mods.

51. Stance

Stance adds the crouch and prone positions GTA 5 left out, plus a dolphin dive when you press the stance key while running. One key (J by default) cycles between standing, crouching and prone, and an .ini option moves it to the stealth button so it works on a controller. It has nearly 1,700 likes, but a May 2026 commenter says it does not trigger stealth mode and breaks the story mission “Complications”, and the same thread points to GameplayFixesV (entry 49) for a crouch instead. Creator: jedijosh920. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since May 2016 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Stance on GTA5-Mods.

52. Euphoria Ragdoll Overhaul

Euphoria Ragdoll Overhaul (E.R.O.) retunes GTA 5’s physics-based ragdolls toward Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3. Shot pedestrians stagger and try to stay upright, and they are pushed by cars instead of dropping instantly. It has passed a million downloads, and a July 2026 commenter reports it working on Legacy. Creator: MiGGousT. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Status: not updated since April 2016. Download: Euphoria Ragdoll Overhaul on GTA5-Mods.

53. Damage Effects

Damage Effects adds screen effects that grow stronger as your health drops (below 50% by default), so you feel how hurt you are without watching the health bar. Everything is configurable in an .ini you can reload in game. It is part of its author’s rewrites of older mods with Enhanced support, last updated in August 2025. It may conflict with graphics mods and trainer settings that override the timecycle. Creator: SilverFinish. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: Damage Effects on GTA5-Mods.

54. Realistic Driving V

Killatomate spent more than 1,600 hours building handling for each of the game’s 357 base vehicles individually, as a successor to his GTA IV driving mod. Cars get weight, grip and braking closer to the real thing. Its own page says it only covers vehicles up to game version 1.50, so newer DLC cars keep their stock handling. 2026 comments are split: a March commenter reports it working on Enhanced, while a June commenter reports crashes on newer game versions. Back up before you try it. Creator: Killatomate. Editions: Legacy (Enhanced per some commenters). Status: not updated since June 2018. Download: Realistic Driving V on GTA5-Mods.

55. Dynamic Vehicle First Person Camera

GTA 5’s first-person driving camera is locked stiff to the car. This replacement adds inertia, so your head moves with acceleration and braking, plus a dynamic horizon lock, depth of field and a long list of settings. It started as part of ikt’s Manual Transmission mod and grew into its own script, and version 1.3.2 arrived in March 2026. Creator: ikt. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: Dynamic Vehicle First Person Camera on GTA5-Mods.

56. Alternate First Person

Alternate First Person replaces the on-foot and in-vehicle first-person view with a full-body camera. Beta 01, posted for free on October 7, 2026, added a dashcam for cars and a helmet cam for motorcycles, each adjustable per vehicle, on top of earlier shoulder and bodycam modes. Beta 02 followed on October 14 as a quick fix for a movement issue, with a bigger update promised. It is openly labeled early access and its author is asking for feedback, so expect rough edges. Creator: EhssanDev. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V (ReShade only for the optional bodycam lens). Download: Alternate First Person on GTA5-Mods.

57. VStancer

VStancer applies wheel and suspension changes to any vehicle, so you can lower cars and angle their wheels for the stanced look the base game’s upgrades cannot reach. It has nearly 600,000 downloads, and its page warns that extreme angles make wheels clip through the ground. You open it by typing “vstancer” into the in-game cheat console. Version 0.4.0, from May 2026, added Enhanced support. Creator: ikt. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: VStancer on GTA5-Mods.

LSPDFR and Police Roleplay

LSPDFR turns Story Mode into a police game, and its community has built a whole library of plugins around it. After LSPDFR itself come the uniform, lighting and plugin downloads players install most, picked by their own download counts on LCPDFR.com, the official LSPDFR site. Plugins go in the plugins\LSPDFR folder and load through RAGE Plugin Hook. If you only want to know what the unmodded game allows, see our answer to whether you can be a cop in GTA 5.

58. LSPD First Response (LSPDFR)

LSPDFR is the most famous GTA 5 mod of all, with more than 21 million downloads on its official site: it turns Story Mode into a police game. You go on patrol, take callouts, pull over drivers and chase suspects, and a large library of community plugins on LCPDFR.com adds more. Version 0.4.9 (build 9695), updated July 19, 2026, supports Legacy build 3889 on Steam, the Rockstar Games Launcher and Epic. Its page says this version does not support Enhanced, offers a separate Enhanced preview, and asks you to disable BattlEye. Creator: G17 Media. Editions: Legacy (Enhanced preview is a separate download). Needs: RAGE Plugin Hook (bundled). Download: LSPDFR on LCPDFR.com.

59. Emergency Uniforms Pack: Law and Order

The Emergency Uniforms Pack is the uniform library most LSPDFR setups start with, and with more than 5.1 million downloads it is the most downloaded character file on LCPDFR.com. It adds lore-friendly, California-inspired law enforcement uniforms for male and female Online characters, from updated LSPD outfits to whole new departments, with gear for each situation, such as a high-visibility vest for traffic duty, a rain jacket or tactical kit. You choose and customize outfits with a menu such as EUP Menu (entry 60), and version 9.3.1 is the current free release, while its page offers a 9.4 beta to Patreon supporters. Creator: Alex_Ashfold (with PieRGud). Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Status: last updated in December 2021 on GTA5-Mods and April 2022 on LCPDFR.com (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Emergency Uniforms Pack on GTA5-Mods.

60. EUP Menu

EUP Menu is how most players actually wear those uniforms: it applies Emergency Uniforms Pack clothing to the Online character models, and it has more than 3.4 million downloads on LCPDFR.com. It includes a character creator modeled on GTA Online’s, with saving and sharing, a wardrobe for building custom outfits, and presets and extras such as sunglasses, masks, vests, helmets and patches. It runs through RAGE Plugin Hook rather than Script Hook V. Creator: PieRGud (with Alex_Ashfold). Editions: Legacy (RAGE Plugin Hook). Needs: Emergency Uniforms Pack Law and Order, RAGE Plugin Hook, RAGENativeUI. Status: version 2.3.0.0, not updated since December 2021 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: EUP Menu on LCPDFR.com.

61. Emergency Lighting System

Emergency Lighting System (ELS) is the most downloaded script on LCPDFR.com, at more than 5.8 million downloads. It replaces the stock emergency lights and sirens with in-depth controls and more than 200 lighting patterns across four light groups, and it works with vehicle models built for it, which you install separately. Version 1.05 (June 2024) added controller options, and its page points to an AdvancedHookV fix for game build 3258. Its page also says ELS does not currently work on the Enhanced edition. Creator: Lt.Caine. Editions: Legacy only. Needs: Script Hook V, AdvancedHookV, ELS-ready vehicle models. Status: not updated since June 2024 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Emergency Lighting System on LCPDFR.com.

62. SirenSetting Limit Adjuster

SirenSetting Limit Adjuster raises the game’s emergency light limits so detailed police and fire vehicles work as designed: up to 32 independent sirens per vehicle instead of 20, siren setting IDs up to 65,535 so different vehicles’ light patterns stop clashing, and room for hundreds of unique patterns. Its page explains how vehicle makers use the extra sirens, it has nearly 237,000 downloads, and its page says it is compatible with RAGE Plugin Hook. Creator: cp702. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: an ASI loader. Status: version 2.0.3, last updated July 2024 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: SirenSetting Limit Adjuster on GTA5-Mods.

63. Ultimate Backup

Ultimate Backup replaces LSPDFR’s default backup menu with a far bigger one that combines three of its author’s earlier backup plugins. You can call Code 2 and Code 3 units, state patrol, SWAT, air units, ambulances whose paramedics try CPR and a fire department that puts out fires, and you can turn a backup officer into a partner who follows you on foot or by car. Its standing shows in what is built around it: GrammarPolice (entry 65) has built-in support for it, and LCPDFR.com hosts translations of it into several languages. Version 1.8.7.1 (download updated February 20, 2026) is free from its author’s site with ads, and Patreon supporters get early access and ad-free downloads. Creator: BejoIjo. Editions: Legacy (LSPDFR 0.4.9). Needs: LSPDFR, RAGE Plugin Hook, RAGENativeUI (StopThePed for the transport and coroner units). Download: Ultimate Backup on BejoIjo’s site.

64. UnitedCallouts

UnitedCallouts adds more than 20 new callouts to LSPDFR (its LCPDFR.com page lists 25), from a store robbery in progress and a person with a knife to a gang shootout, a stolen bus and a murder investigation, each with a range of possible outcomes. It has more than 1.5 million downloads on LCPDFR.com, its code is fully open source, and version 1.5.8.2, its “Fall Update”, arrived on September 18, 2026. Interior callouts need Enable All Interiors (entry 68) or a similar mod, and the K9 backup callout needs a K9 or backup mod such as Ultimate Backup (entry 63). Creator: sEbi3. Editions: Legacy (LSPDFR 0.4.9 or newer). Needs: LSPDFR 0.4.9 or newer, RAGE Plugin Hook 1.95 or newer. Download: UnitedCallouts on GTA5-Mods.

65. GrammarPolice

GrammarPolice lets you talk to dispatch through your microphone: hold the radio key and say a 10-code or a plain phrase, or use its on-screen radio and status menu if you would rather click. It has built-in support for StopThePed and Ultimate Backup, works in English, French, German and Spanish, and has more than one million downloads on LCPDFR.com. Version 1.8.3 is from August 2025, and since 1.8 it needs Microsoft Speech Platform and a language pack, because recent Windows 11 versions dropped Windows Speech Recognition. Creator: opus49. Editions: Legacy (LSPDFR 0.4.9 or newer). Needs: LSPDFR, RAGE Plugin Hook, Microsoft Speech Platform. Download: GrammarPolice on LCPDFR.com.

66. Traffic Policer

Traffic Policer is the third most downloaded script on LCPDFR.com, with more than three million downloads. It adds speed detection and traffic offences, parking tickets, cones and barriers for road management, breathalyzer and drug tests, ambient events such as drivers on their phones, and ANPR callouts. Its author has stopped work on it: the page marks it discontinued and unsupported, compatible with older LSPDFR versions only, and lists game versions up to 1.0.1604.1, though the code is open source and the page invites the community to update it. Creator: Albo1125. Editions: Legacy. Needs: LSPDFR, RAGE Plugin Hook, Albo1125.Common and RAGENativeUI (both included). Status: last updated June 2019 for LSPDFR 0.4.2, and its page says it works with older LSPDFR versions only (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Traffic Policer on LCPDFR.com.

67. Arrest Manager

Arrest Manager, the fourth most downloaded script on LCPDFR.com with more than 2.1 million downloads, handles everything after the arrest: fast jailing and more jail drop-off points, prisoner transport, releasing suspects, grabbing and moving peds, and a vehicle manager with tow trucks. Like Traffic Policer it is discontinued and unsupported and marked compatible with older LSPDFR versions only, and its code is open source on GitHub for anyone who wants to update it. Creator: Albo1125. Editions: Legacy. Needs: LSPDFR, RAGE Plugin Hook, Albo1125.Common and RAGENativeUI (both included).

Missions, Businesses and World Events

New things to do in Los Santos: GTA Online businesses and heists rebuilt for single player, gang life, zombies, jobs and random events.

68. Enable All Interiors

Enable All Interiors (EAI) unlocks nearly every interior in the game, including GTA Online properties, with working doors and map markers, and it replaces older mods like Open All Interiors and Online Interiors. You toggle and customize interiors from an in-game phone menu, and it can load the Online map content when the game starts. Version 46 arrived on September 21, 2026, and several of HKH191’s business mods below build on it. To see what the stock game lets you own, read our guide to buying property in GTA 5. Creator: HKH191. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V .NET (nightly on the latest patch), LemonUI. Download: Enable All Interiors on GTA5-Mods.

69. MP / DLC Menu

This menu switches GTA Online’s map content on and off in single player, including Cayo Perico, the Diamond Casino and North Yankton from the prologue, with quick teleports to each. It ships separate Legacy and Enhanced builds, and a bug-fix patch followed on June 19, 2026. It is lighter than a full trainer if map loading is all you want, and one commenter on The Autoshop In SP (entry 72) says installing it fixed missing textures and freefalls there. Creator: FlyHigh and Pakked. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced (separate builds). Needs: Script Hook V .NET, LemonUI. Download: MP / DLC Menu on GTA5-Mods.

70. GTAO Casino In SP

This brings the Diamond Casino and Resort into Story Mode. You can play roulette, poker, blackjack and Inside Track, buy the penthouse, and use a 10-car garage. The mod was rebuilt from scratch in late 2024 and updated in May 2026, and its author warns about a frame rate drop inside the casino because of the crowds. Its summer 2026 comments are mixed, so read the latest ones on its page before you install. For legitimate Story Mode cash to spend there, see our guide to making money fast in GTA 5. Creator: HKH191. Editions: not stated on its page. Needs: Script Hook V .NET, LemonUI, iFruitAddon2. Download: GTAO Casino In SP on GTA5-Mods.

71. The Contract in SP

The Contract in SP recreates GTA Online’s Contract update in Story Mode. You buy one of four Agency properties, get a 25-car garage, and play a rebuilt version of the full 13-mission VIP Contract story line. Version 1.4, from August 24, 2026, fixed an infinite death loop. Commenters link its problems to Enable All Interiors: one fixed a problem in April by going back to an older EAI build, and another reported in late September that it does not work with the newest EAI, so check the comments before updating either. Creator: HKH191. Editions: not stated on its page. Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Download: The Contract in SP on GTA5-Mods.

72. The Autoshop In SP

This mod does the same for the Los Santos Tuners update. Buy one of five Auto Shop locations, set up the business, use the 10-car garage, and play all eight tuner contracts, each rebuilt from scratch. Version 1.5 (August 12, 2026) fixed a crash with the nightly Script Hook V .NET, and 1.6 (August 24) fixed an infinite death loop. In the comments, the author recommends pairing it with his own Enable All Interiors. Creator: HKH191. Editions: not stated on its page. Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Download: The Autoshop In SP on GTA5-Mods.

73. GTAO Businesses In SP

GTAO Businesses In SP rebuilds GTA Online’s main businesses for Story Mode in one file: the Executive, Biker, Smuggler’s Run, Gunrunning and After Hours businesses, each focused on what it does in Online, from cargo and vehicles to crates and the MC business. You buy and relocate them through a Business Helper contact on your phone, and version 1.6 (February 12, 2026) added integration with its author’s GTAO Mansions mod. It is a reworked, faster version of his older Business Mega Pack, though his page still warns of some frame rate drop. To pick a business in the real game, see our guide to the best business to buy in GTA 5. Creator: HKH191. Editions: not stated on its page.

74. The Cayo Perico Heist in SP

The Cayo Perico Heist in SP brings GTA Online’s island heist to Story Mode: buy the Kosatka submarine at the docks, play five setup missions and the finale alone or with up to three AI teammates, and choose an approach vehicle, from a patrol boat to the Annihilator Stealth. Its page says the island’s guards use advanced AI that patrols and investigates gunfire and bodies, which can cost frame rate. Version 11.0 (May 4, 2026) was a major overhaul, but August and September 2026 commenters report the finale not starting, and on September 28 the author said it is a known issue being looked into. Creator: HKH191. Editions: not stated on its page. Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET, LemonUI (SHVDN2 build), Enable All Interiors (entry 68). Status: a known bug stops some players from starting the finale (checked October 21, 2026). Download: The Cayo Perico Heist in SP on GTA5-Mods.

75. Fleeca Bank Heists

Fleeca Bank Heists lets you rob all six Fleeca branches around San Andreas, with vault hacking and loot like cash, gold and diamonds. It is a revamp of Aimless’s original Rob Fleeca, made with his permission, and it plays like the GTA Online Fleeca job with extra features. 2026 comments are mixed: one July commenter says it works on Enhanced, but an October 2 commenter reports that bank tellers no longer react when you try to intimidate them. If you have not done the story heists yet, our guide to doing a heist in GTA 5 covers the real thing. Creator: danistheman262 (original by aimless). Editions: Legacy (Enhanced per one commenter). Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since February 2022. Download: Fleeca Bank Heists on GTA5-Mods.

76. The Pacific Standard Heist

This mod lets you rob the Pacific Standard Public Deposit Bank in free roam: walk in the front doors, press E (or right on the D-pad) to start, and beat a hacking minigame on the way to the vault. Its .ini sets the wanted level and the value of each cash stack, and it has a 4.83 rating with more than 329,000 downloads. A July 2026 commenter says it works on Enhanced. If you are planning the story version, see our guide to the best heist crew for each heist in GTA 5. Creator: danistheman262. Editions: Legacy (Enhanced per one commenter).

77. The Vangelico Heist

The Vangelico Heist lets you rob the Vangelico jewelry store whenever you like: head to the purple jewel on the map, start the robbery and loot the display cases before the police arrive, 1 minute 45 seconds later by default. Leave before the timer runs out and you avoid a wanted level, and the .ini sets both the timer and the value of each cabinet. Version 1.5.1 is from December 2024, and a December 2025 commenter warns that it conflicts with Fleeca Bank Heists (entry 75), which loses its glass-breaking sound. Creator: danistheman262. Editions: not stated on its page. Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET. Download: The Vangelico Heist on GTA5-Mods.

78. Gang and Turf Mod

This brings San Andreas-style gang wars to GTA 5. You create a gang with its own name and members, take over territories across the map, fight rival gangs for control, and earn steady income from your turf. Version 2.0 moved to LemonUI and the nightly Script Hook V .NET, and 2.1.0 followed in January 2025. The author says he has only tested it on Legacy and asks Enhanced players to report their results. Creator: lucasvinbr. Editions: Legacy (Enhanced untested by its author). Needs: Script Hook V .NET, LemonUI. Download: Gang and Turf Mod on GTA5-Mods.

79. GangMod

GangMod is the gangster counterpart to LSPDFR: join the Families, the Ballas or the Vagos, and rival gangs start shooting on sight while your own gang treats you as one of their own. You can recruit members to ride with you, hang out with them and call for backup from an interaction menu, much like recruiting in San Andreas (our San Andreas recruiting guide covers the original). It has more than 527,000 downloads, and an August 2026 commenter says it works on Legacy. Creator: jedijosh920. Editions: Legacy.

80. Low Life Crime

Low Life Crime expands the petty crime you can commit: aim at people to demand their wallet, or snatch it as you pass on a motorcycle. What you get depends on who you rob and the time of day, victims react differently (some comply, some fight back, some flee and call the police), and a mask stops people calling the cops on you during armed robberies. You can toggle the robberies by typing “llctoggle” in the cheat console, and a March 2025 commenter says it still works. Creator: Eddlm. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned.

81. Simple Zombies

Simple Zombies turns Los Santos into a zombie survival game, and with more than 1.9 million downloads it is one of the most downloaded gameplay scripts on GTA5-Mods. You manage hunger, thirst and sleep, loot and craft weapons, food, walls and barricades, recruit survivors to build a camp, and repair vehicles with parts you find, while noise draws the horde to you. Its 2026 comments mix working reports with crafting bugs and crashes, for which other modders have posted separate fixes. Creator: sollaholla. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned.

82. Lively World

Lively World makes non-player characters interact with the world around them: peds use parked cars, taxis pick people up, criminals set up deals in quiet corners, emergency services are busier, and events such as carjackings, gang drive-bys and street racers happen around you. It also injects add-on cars into traffic from an editable .xml file, and its author describes it as a top layer meant to sit on a population mod. An August 2026 commenter played for more than an hour and a half without a crash, while a September commenter noticed planes crashing more often. Creator: Eddlm.

83. Online Random Events for Single Player

Online Random Events for Single Player brings GTA Online’s freemode events to Story Mode: crate drops, armored trucks, assassinations, smuggler vehicles and special vehicles turn up at random, each with several variations, and you get about seven real-world minutes to take one on. Support has ended, but it has more than 1,000 likes, and commenters in February and April 2026 say it still works. It is a single .asi file, so it needs nothing but Script Hook V. Creator: PlasticTangerine. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V. Status: support has ended, and it has not been updated since October 2015 (checked October 21, 2026).

84. Bodyguard Squads

Bodyguard Squads lets you spawn up to four independent squads and give them orders: pick their weapons, vehicles and character models, have them escort you or chase a target, fly helicopters, and recruit nearby pedestrians into a squad. Weapons and vehicles are set in an .ini file, so you can add your own. Its author calls it a very old script held together with patches, but it keeps a 4.64 rating, and a June 2026 commenter calls it amazing. Creator: Eddlm. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since May 2018 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Bodyguard Squads on GTA5-Mods.

85. TwoPlayerMod

TwoPlayerMod adds local co-op to Story Mode: it spawns up to three extra players, each controlled with their own USB gamepad on the same screen, and Xbox controllers work without any setup. F11 opens its menu, V toggles a San Andreas-style camera, and its code is open source. It has more than 179,000 downloads, though comments from 2023 and 2024 report crashes on some setups, so try it on a clean install first. Creator: benjamin94.

86. JobsV

JobsV adds a career to Story Mode: apply for regular or college-entry jobs, attend college and earn a degree, draw a daily salary, earn promotions and take a taxi driver course, starting from nothing. With more than 712,000 downloads and 2,000 likes it is one of the most downloaded mission mods on GTA5-Mods, and it has an API for making your own jobs. It is still labeled beta, and its 2026 comments are mostly questions rather than reports that it works, so treat it as an experiment. Creator: TylerEspo. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET, Visual C++ Redistributable. Status: beta 0.1.4, not updated since August 2016 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: JobsV on GTA5-Mods.

87. Roleplay Menu

Roleplay Menu adds the small everyday actions roleplayers want: smoking, drinking, lying down to relax, push-ups and sit-ups, dancing, and using the same benches and gym equipment NPCs do. It also has minigames that earn cash, such as busking, teaching yoga, driving or flying clients and taking photos, while fishing and hunting are for its author’s Patreon supporters. Version 1.5 arrived on September 24, 2026, and its author said in the comments that it now runs on Script Hook V .NET Enhanced (entry 4), which one commenter notes means it no longer pairs with Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced. Creator: Dealien. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced (through Script Hook V .NET Enhanced). Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET Enhanced. Download: Roleplay Menu on GTA5-Mods.

88. The Savehouse Mod

The Savehouse Mod answers a question every GTA 5 player asks sooner or later: why can’t you buy a house? It lets you buy houses and apartments at a real estate office, rent hotel rooms and apartments, and create custom save spots with the interior of your choice, with wardrobes added in 0.8.8. Its page says it is no longer developed or supported and is not compatible with Open All Interiors, but a March 2026 commenter still calls it the best mod out there. Creator: kopalov and team. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, LUA Plugin for Script Hook V (entry 7). Status: no longer developed or supported, and not updated since November 2015 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: The Savehouse Mod on GTA5-Mods.

89. Street Races

Street Races scatters races across the map that you join in your own car, each with settings such as the number of opponents. Its author calls it a work in progress, but a July 2026 commenter calls it the best single-player racing mod they have tried, and a September commenter got it running on the current game with LemonUI’s SHVDN3 build, though nitro gave them a black screen. To sharpen up before you race, see our guide to increasing driving skill in GTA 5. Creator: Eddlm. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned (a 2025 commenter on Enhanced reports racers not starting). Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET, NativeUI or LemonUI. Status: not updated since December 2016 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Street Races on GTA5-Mods.

90. Railroad Engineer

Railroad Engineer lets you drive the game’s trains and trams, with realistic acceleration and braking, a continuous horn, and derailments caused by collisions, gunfire or blocking the track. Its current release is subtitled “The Curse of the Ghost Train,” and an April 2026 commenter says it works on Enhanced from build 1013.20 onward. Creator: Jotrius. Editions: Legacy (Enhanced per commenters). Needs: Script Hook V. Status: not updated since January 2022. Download: Railroad Engineer on GTA5-Mods.

91. Tornado Script

Tornado Script adds a tornado to thunderstorms. It can form naturally in bad weather or be spawned with a key (F6 by default), and it pulls in nearby objects and debris. Its siren and ambient sounds change with the tornado’s strength and distance, and it takes on the color of the ground beneath it. A December 2025 commenter confirms it still works. Expect a frame rate hit. Creator: CamxxCore. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since September 2018. Download: Tornado Script on GTA5-Mods.

Vehicles and Garages

Buying, tuning, storing and fueling your cars, plus the apartments and garages to keep them in, with two long-running favorites rewritten for 2026.

92. Benny’s Motor Works in SP Revamped

Benny’s lowrider and custom shop has always been Online-only. This third version of the Single Player Benny’s mod rewrites ImNotMentaL’s original in C# and adds entrance cutscenes, preview cameras, chameleon paint and add-on car support. Version 1.3.1 (October 9, 2026) fixed Online map loading a day after 1.3.0, GTA5-Mods featured it the same day, and its page says to delete the old BennysMapLoader.asi if you are updating from 1.2.x. Version 1.3.2 followed on October 18 with better support for older LemonUI versions, faster menus and new camera angles. If it crashes, the author suggests a custom gameconfig on Legacy and Resource Extensions on Enhanced. For the stock tuning options, see our guide to customizing a car in GTA 5. Creator: Nochala (original by ImNotMentaL). Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET (Enhanced or v3 nightly), LemonUI, OIV Package Installer. Download: Benny’s Motor Works in SP Revamped on GTA5-Mods.

93. Premium Deluxe Motorsport Dealership Revamped

ImNotMentaL’s car dealership mod was one of the most downloaded scripts ever, and this rewrite brings it to both editions. You buy cars at the Premium Deluxe Motorsport showroom, with test drives, colors and custom plates, and the rewrite adds vehicle search, mouse support and add-on car support. Version 1.1.1 (October 12, 2026) improved performance, fixed the showroom’s front doors staying locked and reworked upgrade pricing by vehicle class and value. Its page notes the dealership stays closed until you finish all of Simeon’s missions. Creator: Nochala and ImNotMentaL. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET (Enhanced recommended), LemonUI. Download: Premium Deluxe Motorsport Dealership Revamped on GTA5-Mods.

94. GTA Five: Apartment and Garage (SPA II)

GTA Five: Apartment and Garage, better known as SPA II, is the tenth most liked file on GTA5-Mods, with more than 5,100 likes and 1.7 million downloads. It adds every property GTA Online players could buy, from high-end apartments and stilt houses down to low-end apartments and garages, with room for 542 saved cars in total, plus a mechanic who delivers your car anywhere when you call. Inside you can watch TV and change clothes, as in Online, and while an August 2026 commenter says it works perfectly, September commenters report problems with map blips and frame rate. Creator: ImNotMentaL. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, Community Script Hook V .NET (entry 5), iFruitAddon2, the Executives and Other Criminals update. Status: not updated since December 2020 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: GTA Five: Apartment and Garage on GTA5-Mods.

95. Single Player Garage Reloaded

Single Player Garage Reloaded lets you create garages wherever you like and save up to 80 cars in each, keeping every upgrade, including liveries and Arena War modifications. It is HKH191’s rework of the older Single Player Garage, adds custom map blips and lets you buy and sell vehicles at GTA Online prices, and example garages are included to build from. Version 18.1 arrived on May 4, 2026, and its page notes that Windows must use a period as its decimal symbol. For selling cars in the unmodded game, see our guide to selling cars in GTA 5. Creator: HKH191. Editions: not stated on its page. Needs: Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET 3.6 (the nightly on the latest patch), LemonUI, iFruitAddon2 (included), the Arena War update. Download: Single Player Garage Reloaded on GTA5-Mods.

96. Persistence II

Persistence II makes cars stay where you park them: save any vehicle anywhere on the map, including add-on cars and towed trailers, and it is still there when you come back. It has more than 690,000 downloads, its page lists compatibility with Benny’s Original Motor Works and other vehicle mods, and typing “reload persistence2” in the cheat console reloads it. Recent commenters report a frame rate drop in heavily modded games and cars vanishing when locked, so test it with your setup. Creator: ImNotMentaL. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, Community Script Hook V .NET, Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, .NET Framework 4.5.2. Status: not updated since October 2020 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Persistence II on GTA5-Mods.

97. Added Traffic

Added Traffic spawns DLC and add-on vehicles into regular traffic, so the cars you install actually show up on the streets. Version 2.1 added a vehicle swap that turns any vehicle in the world into an add-on, plus spawn locations you can set, and it comes with a simple editor for its .xml file. An August 2026 commenter praises how it despawns cars once they are far away and gives them a chance to be modified, though a September commenter reports crashes. Creator: ImNotMentaL. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V, Community Script Hook V .NET. Status: not updated since June 2020 (checked October 21, 2026). Download: Added Traffic on GTA5-Mods.

98. Fumes

Fumes gives every vehicle a real fuel tank that stays empty when you come back to the car later. Refueling is physical: take the pump nozzle, walk it to the car’s filler cap, fill up and hang it back. It also adds fuel grades, diesel for trucks, siphoning with a jerry can, and traffic that pulls in to refuel, while electric vehicles are left alone. It runs on both editions from one build, and version 1.0.4 arrived on September 15, 2026. Creator: spitmux. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V .NET. Download: Fumes on GTA5-Mods.

99. LeFix Speedometer

GTA 5 has no speedometer, and LeFix Speedometer adds a customizable on-screen gauge that you configure through an in-game menu. It also has a speed multiplier option for a more realistic sense of speed. Ikt took over maintenance from LeFix to keep it working on new game versions, with no new features planned, and version 1.4.0 (April 2026) updated it for both editions. Creator: LeFix and ikt. Editions: Legacy and Enhanced. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: LeFix Speedometer on GTA5-Mods.

100. NFS Gauge

NFS Gauge adds Need for Speed-style gauges that show your speed, RPM and current gear, with Hot Pursuit 2, 2015, modern and custom skins, and with more than a million downloads it is the most downloaded speedometer on this list. Its author returned after almost nine years with version 2.7.0 on October 3, 2026, which supports game version 1.0.3889.0, and a commenter notes the main download button still points to the older 2.63.2, so pick 2.7.0 from the version list. Press the * key above the numpad to open its menu. Creator: XMOD. Editions: Legacy; Enhanced is not mentioned. Needs: Script Hook V. Download: NFS Gauge on GTA5-Mods.

Install Order

Install these first, in this order: everything else on the list builds on them.

1. Script Hook V (entry 1), the script loader nearly every other mod needs.
2. A mods-folder loader, so file mods never touch the game’s original archives: OpenIV on Legacy (entry 2) or OpenRPF on Enhanced (entry 3). RageOpenV, a newer open-source loader by Chiheb-Bacha, works on both editions.
3. Script Hook V .NET Enhanced (entry 4), plus LemonUI (entry 6) for the menu-based scripts. Legacy scripts that ask for the community version’s nightly build need entry 5 instead.
4. Memory and limit fixes: on Legacy, the custom gameconfig, HeapAdjuster and Packfile Limit Adjuster (entries 8 to 10). On Enhanced, use either those or Resource Extensions, never both, because its page says it replaces them.
5. A trainer: Simple Trainer (entry 16) or Menyoo (entry 17).
6. Then pick a direction: Map Fixes and Bugstar Fixes for polish, NaturalVision Enhanced or VisualV for looks, and LSPDFR for a whole new way to play.

How to Install GTA 5 Mods

There is no official mod manager for GTA 5, so most players install by hand. The order matters more than anything else, and it is the same on both editions.

1. Back up first. Copy your save files before you start (our guide to saving your game in GTA 5 covers how saves work) and never edit the game’s original archives.
2. Check your edition. Legacy runs GTA5.exe and Enhanced runs GTA5_Enhanced.exe. Download the file for your edition on every mod that offers two.
3. Turn off BattlEye for Story Mode. Rockstar added a setting for this in the Rockstar Games Launcher, and script mods such as Menyoo and LSPDFR say they need it off.
4. Install Script Hook V. Copy ScriptHookV.dll and its ASI loader into the main game folder. RageOpenV’s page notes the loader file is dinput8.dll on Legacy and xinput1_4.dll on Enhanced.
5. Add a mods-folder loader. OpenIV.asi on Legacy, OpenRPF on Enhanced, or RageOpenV on either. File mods then go into a “mods” folder copy of the game’s archives instead of the originals.
6. Add Script Hook V .NET and LemonUI if any of your scripts need them. .NET scripts go in a “scripts” folder in the game folder.
7. Raise the game’s limits. On Legacy, add the custom gameconfig, HeapAdjuster and Packfile Limit Adjuster. On Enhanced, use those or Resource Extensions, not both.
8. Install packages with the OIV Package Installer. The free OIV Package Installer from CoreFX and CodeWalker installs .oiv packages and add-on DLC packs on both editions, registers add-ons in dlclist.xml for you, and can uninstall them later. It still needs OpenIV.asi on Legacy or OpenRPF on Enhanced.
9. Add one mod at a time and launch the game between each, so a crash points straight at its cause.

After every game update, update Script Hook V first, then your .NET hook and limit adjusters, then check each mod’s page before you load a save.

Legacy vs Enhanced: Compatibility Notes

• Legacy and Enhanced files are not interchangeable. OpenRPF’s page warns that Legacy files crash Enhanced unless converted in CodeWalker, and the OIV Package Installer’s page warns that installing a mod made for the other edition will crash the game.
• Script mods often run on both. Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET Enhanced and most scripts updated in 2025 or 2026 support both editions. Older scripts (marked “Enhanced is not mentioned” above) were written for Legacy.
• Builds: Script Hook V’s current release covers Legacy 3889 and Enhanced 1158.13. Mod authors report Enhanced 1.0.1158.16 from mid-September 2026, and Resource Extensions already requires it, so check that plugin’s page if you are on an older build.
• LSPDFR is the big exception: version 0.4.9 is Legacy-only, with Enhanced available only as a separate preview, so the plugins in the LSPDFR section are Legacy picks too, and Emergency Lighting System’s page says it does not work on Enhanced.
• Older mods can still work. Many scripts here were last updated years ago, and their 2026 comments include players still running them on Legacy. Each carries a status line with its last update; add them one at a time so a broken one is easy to find.
• PC only. None of these mods work on PlayStation or Xbox, and Rockstar’s guidelines cover single-player mods on PC.
• Story Mode only. Script Hook V closes the game if you go online, and nothing here should go near GTA Online.

How We Chose These Mods

We started with the most downloaded and most liked files on GTA5-Mods.com, the main host for GTA 5 single-player mods, and for LSPDFR plugins with the most downloaded files on LCPDFR.com, the official LSPDFR site. We checked the original 50 against their creators’ own pages on September 21 and October 13, 2026, and the 50 we added, along with every original entry, on October 21, 2026. For each one we checked which edition it supports, when it was last updated, and whether its page or recent comments say it works on the current build. Mods get updated after game patches all the time, so loved mods that a recent build may have broken stay on the list, each with a status line saying what its page supports as of October 21, 2026. We left out the original Menyoo and Open All Interiors (Menyoo 2.0 and Enable All Interiors replace them), World of Variety (it adds nude beaches), Manual Transmission (its author moved the builds that work on current game versions to Patreon), anything for GTA Online, roleplay servers, adult or paid-only mods, and mods that port content from other games or use other companies’ licensed cars, characters or brands, which Rockstar’s guidelines rule out.

Only download from the creator links above. Re-upload sites and “mod pack” bundles are the usual source of outdated files, fake versions and malware, and a mod you cannot find on its creator’s page should not be installed. If you are new to Story Mode and want to know how the game plays before you change it, our guides to switching characters and the best GTA games put it in context. For the rest of Rockstar’s open worlds, see our best GTA 4 mods and best Red Dead Redemption 2 mods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the must-have GTA 5 mods? Script Hook V, Script Hook V .NET, a mods-folder loader (OpenIV on Legacy, OpenRPF on Enhanced), a memory fix such as the custom gameconfig or, on Enhanced, Resource Extensions, and a trainer like Simple Trainer or Menyoo. After that, Map Fixes, a graphics mod and LSPDFR are the most popular additions.

Will GTA 5 mods get me banned? Not in Story Mode. Rockstar’s guidelines cover non-commercial single-player mods, and Script Hook V closes the game if you try to go online with it. Never take mods into GTA Online, and remove them (or run a clean copy) before playing online.

Should I mod GTA 5 Enhanced or Legacy? Legacy has a decade of mods behind it, and LSPDFR’s main release and its plugins are Legacy-only, as are many older favorites on this list. Enhanced has ray tracing, and most of the actively maintained mods on this list now support it, including Script Hook V, the big trainers and Alex106’s fixes. If a specific mod matters to you, check its entry above first.

Do Legacy mods work on GTA 5 Enhanced? Not automatically. Script Hook V and many scripts support both editions, but file-replacement mods made for Legacy crash Enhanced unless they are converted in CodeWalker and loaded through OpenRPF or RageOpenV. Check each mod’s page for its edition.

What are the best LSPDFR plugins? Among the most downloaded on LCPDFR.com are Emergency Lighting System, EUP Menu with the Emergency Uniforms Pack, Traffic Policer, Arrest Manager, UnitedCallouts and GrammarPolice. Traffic Policer and Arrest Manager are discontinued and built for older LSPDFR versions, so on LSPDFR 0.4.9 start with the uniform pack, Ultimate Backup, UnitedCallouts and GrammarPolice.

Do old GTA 5 mods still work? Often, yes. Many scripts on this list were last updated years ago and still have 2026 comments from players running them on Legacy, which is why we keep them with a status line instead of dropping them. Others break after a patch until their authors update them, so update Script Hook V first after every game update and add older mods one at a time.

Why did my GTA 5 mods stop working after an update? Every game patch changes the code that script mods hook into. Before you load a save, update Script Hook V first, then your .NET script hook and limit adjusters, then check each mod’s page for a new version. On Enhanced, also make sure you are not running Resource Extensions alongside the heap and packfile adjusters.

Can you mod GTA 5 on PS5 or Xbox? No. Every mod on this list is for the PC version only, and there is no mod support on PlayStation or Xbox. Rockstar’s guidelines cover single-player mods on PC.

Are these GTA 5 mods free? Yes. Every mod here is free to download, though a few creators give Patreon supporters new builds or extra features first.
