FAQ
Which one should I choose?
It depends on your priorities. If you want maximum features and don't mind complexity, go with the more popular option. If you want something lightweight and simple, the simpler option might be better. Both are excellent — you can't go wrong.
Can I use both at the same time?
In most cases, yes. GTA 5 mods are generally compatible with each other as long as they don't modify the same files. Always check each mod's description for known conflicts.
Do these work with GTA 5 Enhanced Edition?
Most major mods now support Enhanced Edition. Check each mod's specific page for compatibility notes. Legacy Edition generally has broader mod support for older mods.
