GTA update is always pain in the ass when it comes to the user who plays LSPDFR instead of GTA itself. Every single Rockstar update just ruin my gaming joy. I want to ask the fellow forum users that is there a way to get mods folder update after Rockstar Title Update of the game. Since I don't remember what mods I have installed through update.rpf. Is there a way to backup things up without messing around?

Your LSPDfr should not get messed up from an update, provided that you have one GTA5 folder for GTA5 and one for LSPDfr. That dual folder setup is recommended, and absolute a must if you play GTA-online!
What i do when R* makes a new update is to first update the game in my provider -I have EpicGame -After that has ended successfully id dl the zip-version of LSPDfr, and simply just copy everything to my LSPDfr installation GTA5-folder, and let windows overwrite all files -That include the new RPHook that is included in the dl, after that i am good to go.
The MOD-folder is not altered, but there may be mods that now are outdated, because they are not compatible with the new R* update. As user You cant do anything about that. The programmer that made the now outdated mod, need to make changes to it, and make the new updated version available for DL. Some modders always do that. some do not, and then the mod is dead.

So basically there is no way to secure mods folder. Everything should be done from the scratch for mods folder if file gets update from Rockstar.

what do you mean "secure mods folder". Was your mods-folder' content changed after updating?
The content should not be changed! The mods you have in that folder may not not work after an update, but that is a flaw that the mod-programmer need to fix. If that programmer does not, then the mod is, as i said -outdated. Over time a lot of mods has gone that way! Its like any other software update where there is no promised backward compatibility. R* only make sure their own stuff works. All the mods they dont care about -In fact they are said to dislike them, because they cant understand that mods help making the game popular.
What mod has stopped working after the latest patch?

If i recall correctly, only update.rpf needs to be redone. Not the entire mods folder.
