Mod Manager for GTA 5 - is a tool designed to simplify the installation, management, and removal of mods for Grand Theft Auto V on PC, ensuring a seamless experience for single-player modding while protecting the game’s online integrity. It stores mods in an external folder, symlinking them to the GTA V directory only when needed, which helps prevent conflicts and accidental bans when playing GTA Online. The tool supports a wide range of mod types, including RPF files, ASI, LUA, DLL, and more, and is designed to be user-friendly with features like drag-and-drop installation and automatic mod cleanup.

Features Mod Manager:
External Mod Storage:

• Mods are stored in a configurable external folder (e.g., C:\Users\Documents\GTAV Mods\) rather than the GTA V directory, keeping the game’s core files untouched.

Modded/Vanilla RPF Hot Swapping:

• Includes an RPF Installation Wizard for easy swapping between modded and vanilla RPF files, with automatic backups of original files to prevent data loss.

Support for Multiple Mod Types:

• Supports ASI, LUA, FX, DLL, VB, CS, and PY files, with automatic import to their correct folders (e.g., .asi to the mod folder, .lua to scripts\Addins).

GTA Online Safety:

• Automatically removes all mods when launching GTA Online, ensuring no modified files remain to avoid bans. It also sets Social Club to offline mode and blocks GTA5.exe from internet access via firewall rules when mods are active.

Drag-and-Drop Installation:

• Allows users to add mods by dragging and dropping files into the manager, with automatic placement in the appropriate directories (Windows 8+ UAC may limit this)

Mod Enable/Disable Functionality:

• Users can individually enable or disable mods from the manager’s interface, providing flexibility to mix and match mods without manual file management.

Configuration File Detection:

• Automatically detects and allows editing of mod configuration files directly within the manager, simplifying customization.
• Firewall and Performance Tweaks:
• Creates firewall rules to block GTA5.exe from the internet while mods are enabled (Windows Firewall only, configurable). Also includes a high-priority adjustment for GTA5.exe to optimize performance.
