GTA 5

Description

A Vortex game extension that adds Grand Theft Auto V modding support and preserves the mod archive's folder structure when installing.

If a mod archive contains a file at scripts/some.dll, it lands exactly at <GTA5 root>/scripts/some.dll. No flattening, no name-map guesswork, no broken installs because a mod author nested their files differently than expected.

Main features

• []Structure-preserving installer — every file is copied to its archive-relative path under the GTA V root. A single wrapping folder named after the mod (e.g. "Cool Mod v2/scripts/x.dll") is stripped automatically, while real GTA folders (scripts, update, …) are kept intact.[/]

  []Smart handling for common mod types:

  []ScriptHookV — its bin folder contents are flattened to the game root.[/]

  []LemonUI — only the correct variant (SHVDN3 / SHVDNC) is installed into the scripts folder; the rest is discarded.[/]

  []ASI / Script Hook plugins (.asi, dinput8.dll, ScriptHookV.dll, …) recognised and placed in the game root.[/]

  []DLC add-on packs (archives containing dlc.rpf) routed into update/x64/dlcpacks.[/]

[/]

[]OpenIV .oiv packages — detected, staged, and you're guided to apply them through OpenIV (they can't be deployed as loose files).[/]

[]RPF-replacement mods — loose assets (.ymt, .ytd, …) meant to be injected into a packed .rpf are staged, and you're guided to apply them with OpenIV / CodeWalker.[/]

[]Automatic game detection for Steam, Epic, and Rockstar installs.[/]

Installation instructions

• []In Vortex, hit Mod manager download on this page — Vortex picks it up automatically.[/]

  []Restart Vortex.[/]

That's it. Once installed, Vortex will recognise GTA V and let you install GTA V mods like any other game.

Alternatively, download the .zip from the GitHub Releases page, then in Vortex go to Extensions → "Drop File(s)", drop the .zip, and restart.

Requirements

• []Vortex mod manager.[/]

  []A legitimate copy of Grand Theft Auto V (Steam, Epic, or Rockstar).[/]

  []Some mods additionally need ScriptHookV, ScriptHookVDotNet, or OpenIV — install those as the individual mods require.[/]
