Where Does GTA V Store Mods?
GTA V mods live in a mods folder via OpenIV plus scripts beside the exe. Save files stay separate per the saves post.
Last updated
Save files hold progress while mods change the city. OpenIV routes package installs into a mods folder mirroring game paths. Script mods live beside the executable instead.
The existing saves post covers story progress; this one covers the mod side. Online play bans modified installs, so keep a clean copy for multiplayer. ASI Loader version must match the game build.
Where Grand Theft Auto V stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
How do I install GTA V mods?
Install OpenIV with ASI Loader, create the mods folder on first use, and copy vehicle or map packages inside mirrored paths. Script mods drop .asi, .dll or .lua files beside the exe instead. Keep a vanilla backup before the first mod.
How do I back up a modded install?
Copy the mods folder plus scripts beside the exe with the game quit, plus saves from the saves post. Mods travel as mirrored archives while saves reference vanilla content. Updates break ASI plugins first, so check loader compatibility.
