Plug-ins and scripts heads up

Good evening everyone. I am here to advise everyone who is new to the platform, and to share what I know to assist newcomers with this important tip. All mods (Plug-ins) you download and move to your main game directory (Open the mod folder and drag the plug-ins folder into your main game directory, make sure it's not into another folder) your plug-ins (Mods) will automatically be added to your gta5 plug-ins folder (If you do not have one, make one and most importantly name it "Plugins") from there you can open the folders ini (If it has one) and customize your settings. This works with most plugin mods. Now for OpenIV, you must download the file, and find its oiv files. Follow the pathway it shows in it's readme (If it has one) and then drag those files into OpenIV (Tip:Drag and place the oiv files on your desktop home page, drag it from your homepage and into openIV if it won't let you drag directly) after you do this, it should work, do not drag Readme file into OpenIV. It should work after this. (Special Tip) When you verify your game all OpenIV mods will be deleted from your OpenIV, you will have to add them again. Any plugins mods you use, will not be affected by the verification. However, deleting and downloading gta5 again will delete all mods (Plugins) you have in your main game directory, so please make a folder outside of your gta5 main game directory and place them there including they're ini files and essential content. Once you do these steps carefully your mods should be correctly installed as long as you follow the readme files. And taking steps before deleting your gta5 or verifying. Thank you, I hope this helps you.
