[GTA5] How to Easily Replace Vehicle Mods: "Easy Mod Folder" "EMF"
I think installing mods for GTA5 is often a hassle. Replacing things like real-life car mods or weapon mods is especially difficult, isn't it?
Depending on the vehicle, the installation location changes, such as mods / update / x64 / dlcpacks / ... or mods / x64e .... Also, when you want to recreate your mods folder, you might think, "I want to keep that vehicle as it is." When that happens, you might forget where you installed it, and you end up having to start from scratch.
This time, I will introduce Easy Mod Folder (EMF), which makes it easy to perform such difficult-to-manage replacement mods.
・Conventional method
mods > x64e.rpf > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf
mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday3ng > dlc.rpf > x64 > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf
mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday4ng > dlc.rpf > x64 > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf
Drag and drop into each location. Rarely, it may not be reflected.
・A method that is guaranteed to be reflected
Install in mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday28ng > dlc.rpf > x64 > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf.
The higher the number of patchday○○ng, the higher the probability that it will be reflected. If it is the largest, it is almost certain.
・How to replace using Easy Mod Folder (EMF)
┠ Download and installation
You can download it from here.
Unzip it and open mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks. You will find a folder named EMF, so please place that folder in GTA5 > mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks.
Next, open OpenⅣ, turn on Edit mode for dlclist.xml located in mods / update / update.rpf / common / data, right-click, and open it with Edit.
Go to the bottom and add <Item>dlcpacks:/EMF/</Item> .
The installation is now complete.
※ I will teach you a setting that you should all do, although it is just a bonus.
Open OpenⅣ, open mods / update / x64 / dlcpacks / EMF / dlc.rpf / x64, and in that state, press "Favorites" (or Favorites for the English version) on the top left, press "Add to Favorites" at the top, set it to your preferred name, and press Add at the bottom.
By doing this, the location of EMF will be added to your favorites, and you can jump to the EMF folder immediately just by pressing it, allowing you to work smoothly.
┗ How to actually replace
What you can replace with this EMF is
commonpeds : Mainly Peds models (police officers in town, etc.)
pessprops : Mainly hats worn by NPCs, etc.
vehicles : Vehicle models
vehicles_mods : Probably vehicle parts, etc.
vehshare : License plates and other texture files
weapons : Mainly weapon mods
These are them.
In the case of vehicle mods, just put the 3 or more files included in the download (yft, _hi.yft, ytd) into vehicles.rpf. This completes the installation, and it should be reflected in the game.
Other mods can also be installed using the same method.
When you need to recreate your mods folder, you can simply extract the EMF folder and paste it back after creation to apply it.
For syntax such as carvariations.meta and vehicles.meta, the installation method remains the same as before.
