✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 56,040 downloads show it's a popular pick for football fans in GTA V.
- Full rigged means the model moves properly in-game, not a static mess.
- You get both add-on and replace options, so you can slot him in however you like.
⚠️ Cons
- Face is still in alpha—expect janky facial animations until the author finishes weight painting.
- Last updated in 2016, so it might not play nice with newer GTA V patches.
- Only one model version, so if you want Messi in different outfits, you're out of luck.
This is for GTA V players who want to see Lionel Messi roaming the streets or take control of him as a playable character. It's also for modders who don't mind tweaking alpha models and want a base to work from.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the replace version, back up the original ped model files first so you can revert if needed.
- Since the face is alpha, you might need to use OpenIV to tweak the model if facial animations look off.
- Check the mod's comments section for any known issues with specific GTA V versions before installing.
