| Summary | 0000658: Adding options in the [Copy to 'mods' folder] drop down menu also for 'x64' and 'update' folders. | ||||
| Description | Adding options in the [Copy to 'mods' folder] drop down menu also for 'x64' and 'update' folders. Adding this option will allow you to create copies of original files faster in these locations and to securely edit them later. Sometimes, when you install the .OIV modification, you do not get all copies of files and folders. When later we want to use or edit a new file or folder by modification, we need to manually create new folders and the location and send the original files for editing. If it will be available and will work as you have with archives like x64a.rpf etc. it will help / speed up and simplify a lot. | ||||

The latest version of OpenIV and OpenIV.ASI provide support for “mods” folder that can be very useful in the following cases:
- You have DVD or Rockstar Games Warehouse version of GTA V and every time you edit files Launcher download original files back;
- You want to have original GTA V files unmodified;
- You want to have fast way to switch between original and modified files.
- If you open OpenIV as admin drag and drop wont work, but you need admin (in my case at least) because the gta 5 installation folders security settings. If you change the folders security settings so the user can modify files and then open OpenIV without admin, should work.

Required software:
Detailed information regarding the installation of vehicle mods using OpenIV. After downloading a car mod, in the most cases you'll receive an archive including all required files. After unpacking said archive, there're usually model and texture files and sometimes also configuration files or instructions to edit configuration files.
- OpenIV (2.6.3 or newer)
- OpenIV.ASI (1.1 or newer)
- GTA V ASI LOADER (build “May 2 2015” or newer)
Instruction:
1 – Download and install OpenIV. Configure it to work with your copy of GTAV.
2 – Navigate to ASI Manager using menu “Tools” > “ASI Manager” or “ASI Manager” button on tool bar.
Through ASI Manager, you can install, update or remove ASI Loader and OpenIV ASI plugins.
3 – Install ASI Loader and OpenIV.ASI
4 – Open your GTA V folder in File Explorer; you can do it fast in OpenIV
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 Vupdateupdate.rpf” you need to copy it like “Grand Theft Auto Vmodsupdateupdate.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

folder, here is some examples:Openiv Copy To Mods Folder Windows 10
| Grand Theft Auto V – Original archive path | Path in “mods” folder |
|---|---|
| GTAVupdateupdate.rpf | GTAVmodsupdateupdate.rpf |
| GTAVcommon.rpf | GTAVmodscommon.rpf |
| GTAVx64audiosfxSCRIPT.rpf | GTAVmodsx64audiosfxSCRIPT.rpf |
| GTAVupdatex64dlcpacksmpheistdlc.rpf | GTAVmodsupdatex64dlcpacksmpheistdlc.rpf |
| GTAVx64e.rpf | GTAVmodsx64e.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.
If you want to switch back to original files just go to ASI Manager and remove OpenIV.ASI. In addition, you can remove ASI Loader to disable all ASI plugins that you have installed.
You can use ASI Manager any time to switch between mods and original game. You no need to remove “mods” folder every time.
