📋 About This Mod

Vehicles deform and break apart easier.

If you ever felt like GTA V's vehicle deformation was underwhelming, this mod is for you.  I tried to recreate the level of vehicle destruction that GTA IV had to offer.

This mod already existed for the Legacy version, however it was abandoned, so i decided to make my own for the Enhanced Edition.

I provided two different versions, Realistic and Exaggerated.

Realistic: vehicles get considerably more damaged than in the vanilla version of the game.

Exaggerated: vehicles will deform and get damaged easily. Too easily. Minimal impact is required for getting noticeable damage, which might be too much for most people.

INSTALLATION:

Natural Vision Enhanced IS REQUIRED FOR THIS MOD TO WORK.

THIS MOD IS ALSO COMPATIBLE WITH   Drive V For Natural Vision Enhanced. ( I took the handling.meta from Drive V as a base for my modification. Without this, i wouldn't have been able to make my mod ).

1) Download and install  Natural Vision Enhanced.

2) Download either of the two versions of my mod.

3) Copy "handling.meta" and paste it into Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced\onigiri\common\data.

I've made the final update for this mod.

Now vehicles engines last longer before exploding. Vehicles should not explode/stop working after 2-3 impacts.

Every armored vehicle will not deform nor break as easily now, preserving the vanilla intent for these vehicles.

The vehicles are: Baller LE, Baller LE LWB, Cognoscenti, Cognoscenti 55, Duke O'Death, Kuruma, Menacer, Nightshark, Paragon R, Schafter LWB, Schafter V12, Turreted Limo and XLS.

THESE CHANGES WERE ONLY APPLIED TO THE REALISTIC VERSION, NOT TO THE EXAGGERATED ONE.

I WILL NO LONGER UPDATE THIS MOD. IF YOU DISLIKE A PARTICULAR THING ABOUT IT, FEEL FREE TO CHANGE IT, YOU CAN USE THIS PYTHON SCRIPT(MADE BY ThePresident44) TO EASILY MODIFY ALL THE VALUES AT ONCE.

 1)More cars should be affected after the last update, however, not every single car is affected by this mod.
