After 0.2 LSPDFR update, I downloaded it to check it out. It worked perfectly, so I decided to put some additional mods (like brighter lights, weapon models, ped retexture). After that, Rockstar Launcher refuses me to launch the game and starts to download 5 GB of files. I tried to launch the game in Offline Mode, but Rockstar Launcher also refuses me to play it, seeing error. Can someone give me a hand with this or do I have to download this creepy 5 Gb?

You have to use a mods folder for a lot of game data modifications, otherwise it just redownloads the original stuff. See: http://openiv.com/?p=1132

I did use the mods folder, but it still downloads the files. Maybe I'm installing them wrong, tho I followed the instructions. I have no idea. Is it possible to play offline?

If it is downloading files then you installed them wrong. You need to modify files in the mods folder. Make sure to read this part very carefully:

5 – In root of your GTA V folder create new folder and name if “mods” (lower case)

6 – Now you have to copy RPF archives into “mods” folder. For example, if you want to modify “Grand Theft Auto V\update\update.rpf” you need to copy it like “Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf”.

The following table is explain how you need to copy archives to mods folder. The path to RPF archive in “mods” folder must be the same as in real GTA Vfolder, here is some examples:

 

Grand Theft Auto V – Original archive path	Path in “mods” folder
GTAV\update\update.rpf	GTAV\mods\update\update.rpf
GTAV\common.rpf	GTAV\mods\common.rpf
GTAV\x64\audio\sfx\SCRIPT.rpf	GTAV\mods\x64\audio\sfx\SCRIPT.rpf
GTAV\update\x64\dlcpacks\mpheist\dlc.rpf	GTAV\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\mpheist\dlc.rpf
GTAV\x64e.rpf	GTAV\mods\x64e.rpf

7 – From this point if you want to install mod or edit some file you need to do it in archive from “mods” folder.

 

Now all your mods will be in separated folder, and original files will stay not modified.

Kay, I'm back. I still can't get it working, I'm still doing something wrong or just DVD version don't want mods. Even on clean GTA V with installed Open IV plugin and mods folder, the game refuses to run. After I uninstall Open IV plugins, it works perfectly. Is there some video tutorial or something, cause I also can't find it..

Can you take a screenshot of the contents of the mods folder? Because if you've done it correctly then it should work. =/

I finally found some helpful video, which gave me a hint, how should I do it properly. Looks like I was creating normal folder for everything, even files with .rpf. Haha.. .x[ Anyways, thanks for the backup! If something will go wrong again, I'll let you know. At this point I'm only curious about this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gJkDVFdBSc&feature=youtu.be . The lights here are very bright and do not have the yellowish effect, as for my, after using Corona Lights.

Would be cool if you could share your solution...
