So if you have the same version of GTA V as me, The one that you buy from Rockstar its self. (Not steam) You will find that you cant put any custom textures!

 

It's a shame if you think about it, because every time you go to change a texture rockstar pretty much says nope! and automaticlly updates you games with the right files, so you crown vic is a default cruiser. Its a pretty much shame, Has anyone found a fix around this?

What about trying a mods folder. I know I had started using it and im not having a single update issue.

You can add Mods, I can use Ragehook and all that, its the fact that you can't change anything MAIN Files, you can add just not change, so I cant use openiv otherwise it changes it back.

What he's saying (and what you should do) is put a folder called "mods" in the root of your V directory. You then copy RPFs that you want to modify to the same place in the mods folder that they're in in the root folder; that is, you'd copy x64e.rpf to mods/x64e.rpf, update/update.rpf to mods/update/update.rpf, the heist stuff to mods/update/dlcpacks/mpheist/dlc.rpf, etc. You then modify *those* copies, and OpenIV will force V to load the modified ones instead of the real ones. Here are instructions.

And to add on, I'm also using the Retail 7 disc boxset of V

Also using the retail version (with all the discs) and haven't had an issue. I just use this - https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/gtav-mod-manager
