📋 About This Mod
Real L. A. Peds Overhaul is a complete rework of GTA V’s gang and law enforcement ecosystem. It transforms how gangs, law enforcement, and civilians look, behave, and interact—bringing the world closer to the gritty realism of South Central Los Angeles.
This mod brings new life to the streets with revamped peds, smarter AI, scenario support, and custom textures rooted in authentic L. A. culture. From gang turfs to emergency services, everything is grounded in a modern, immersive L. A. vibe.
Key Features:
Character Enhancements:
- Crip-themed retexture for Franklin, including blue clothing and a matching blue leash for Chop
- New 2K face texture for all three protagonists for a fresher, more detailed look
- Variety clothing packs for all three main characters inspired by real L. A. fashion
- High-quality 2K body textures for Franklin, Michael, and Trevor

- Replaced gang peds (Families, Ballas, Vagos, etc.) with realistic models and colors
- Updated police, sheriff, and SWAT peds to resemble real-life L. A. law enforcement units
- Added L. A.-style service peds: L. A. County Lifeguards, EMTs, Paramedics, and Firefighters
Scenario & Vehicle Integration:
- Gang vehicles now spawn properly in traffic and parked locations
- Scenarios and ambient behavior fully integrated using:
• ambientpedmodelsets.meta
• scenarios.meta
• vehiclemodelsets.meta
- Gang peds now correctly appear inside gang vehicles in the world
Advanced AI & Combat Behavior:

- Gangs take cover, shoot in short bursts, and behave less recklessly
- Shooting behavior is faster and more lethal — expect more violent encounters
- loadouts.meta defines realistic gang weapon loadouts
Every element is designed to immerse you deeper into the streets of Los Santos — inspired by the people, style, and intensity of South Central L. A.
