📋 About This Mod
"Real California License Plates" made by: outsid3r4 thanks to smokey for testing! Package includes: - present CA plate - black/yellow CA plate - blue/yellow CA plate - CA Exempt plate - Golden State CA plate - Nevada plate Installation: - using OpenIV go to the \x64e.rpf\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf and replace vehshare.ytd (only plates textures has been changed, rest stays untouched) Plates are done 100% from scratch by myself. They are not some pimped out plates cutted out from internet photos. They are marked with present dates and keep overall V plates look. I would appreciate if you would respect my copyrights. You also can't offer it to sell separately or as a part of mod. ================== © 2015 outsid3r4
This mod replaces the default license plates in GTA V with real California and Nevada plate designs, including present-day, black/yellow, blue/yellow, exempt, and Golden State variants. It's a simple visual customization for players who want authentic West Coast plates. Installation requires OpenIV and manual file replacement.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 259 endorsements and nearly 35k downloads show it's a popular, trusted plate mod.
- Five different California plate styles plus Nevada give you solid variety for roleplay or realism.
- Simple texture swap—no scripts or extra dependencies, so it's lightweight and won't hurt performance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015, so it may not be compatible with the latest GTA V updates or DLC vehicles.
- Manual OpenIV installation means you're editing game files directly—risk of breaking something if you're not careful.
- Only covers plates, not other vehicle customization, so it's a niche cosmetic change.
This is for GTA V players who want authentic California or Nevada plates on their cars, especially roleplayers or realism enthusiasts. It's also great for anyone who wants a quick visual change without adding heavy mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up the original vehicles.rpf file before replacing anything, so you can revert if needed.
- Use OpenIV's edit mode and follow the exact path: x64e.rpf > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf to find the plate textures.
- If you're on a newer game version, check if the mod needs updating—old plate mods can conflict with new vehicle models.
