📋 About This Mod
California licence plates for GTA V PC. Replaces all land vehicles' existing San Andreas licence plates with California plates. The texture resolution is identical to that of the the original ones. As such, performance should be unaffected. All include normal maps and all textures are made 100% from scratch by myself, lonestranger. Yankton plates and other special plates such as those acquired via contests (Sprunk, Liberty City, etc.) are not changed. Installation instructions and more info are in the included readme.
This mod replaces all land vehicle license plates in GTA V with California plates, matching the original texture resolution and including normal maps. It's a simple cosmetic change for players wanting a more authentic US look, with no performance impact. Despite being from 2015, it remains popular with 191 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple, clean cosmetic swap that adds a touch of realism
- No performance hit since textures match original resolution
- 191 endorsements and 16k downloads show it's a trusted, popular mod
⚠️ Cons
- Only changes plates—no other visual or gameplay tweaks

Perfect for players who want a more authentic American feel in Los Santos, especially if you're from California or just like the look. Also great for screenshot enthusiasts who want that extra detail in their rides. If you're after bigger visual overhauls, this won't satisfy you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install the mod using OpenIV and replace the plate textures in the correct directory (update/x64/dlcpacks).
- If you use other vehicle texture mods, install this one last to avoid overwriting conflicts.
- Test on a single car first to confirm the plates appear correctly before applying to all vehicles.
