Use the search (Ctrl+F) to help find what you need.
Huge part of issues are in user side due to other mods or messed up windows/drivers, when the scripts/plugins have a issue I update them fixing the issue and make a post about it or add a note in Readmes case I can't fix it.
Most common issues are NIBMods menu not appearing on Ctrl+N press and game crash at loading story mode due to added peds.
I will list in this post all issues and possible solutions I know and also some tips.
When i mention "Readmes" I refer to any text file included in the mod's ZIP files, it's always good read them, it's boring but the solution may be there.
#1-NIBMods menu not appearing on Ctrl+N press-Mod doesn't appears in NIBMods menu-Mod menu doesn't appears-Powers not working-GTA.Native.MemoryAcces error-Thread being aborted error
1 - Before anything, reload the game to test, a new mod may not appear in NIBMods menu in his first load or antiviruses may block his actions in first tries causing lag (read/write files and connect to servers)
2 - Make sure that you have the basic installed: ScripthookV and NIBMods menu, make sure you installed correct release for your game type (GTA 5 Legacy or Enhanced), read the Readmes in both ZIP files.
2.1 - Those are the ScripthookV files you should have in main game folder: dinput8.dll, ScriptHookV.dll and xinput1_4.dll 2.3 - Those are the NIBMods menu files you should have in main game folder:
2.4 - In "GTA 5 Legacy" scripts folder you should have the file "NIBMods.net.ndll", in "GTA 5 Enhanced" scripts folder you should have the file "NIBMods.net.ENdll":
3 - Update NIBMods menu and his plugins
4 - Set Rockstar Launcher to run as administrator: -With game and Rockstar Launcher closed use windows explorer (or any folder in your computer) to navigate to "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher" (Or wherever your rockstar launcher is installed) -Right click the file "Launcher.exe" (or just "Launcher") and click in "Properties" (the .exe part may not appear with default Windows settings) -Click in "Compatibility" and check the box "Run this program as an administrator" then click in "Ok" -Restart your PC to make sure rockstar launcher will restart running with admin rights
If issues still, add the game (or the Scripts folder) to the exceptions list of your antivirus and reinstall NIBMods menu and the mod, if the mod's .ndll or .ENdll file isn't in gta Scripts folder, your antivirus deleted the file, restart your PC
#2 ScripthookV critical error
This issue may happen each time game receive a big update, we need to wait for ScripthookV update or use our own backup of GTA5.exe (in Steam release, the backup always works 😎), using backups from others recently started to have issues related to key bindings or crashes. For Steam users there is a guide showing how to manually downgrade your game version, I didn't tested this method, so, do it at your own risk.
#3 Ped models - "Error ped model" in Suits list or game crash when loading story mode
-Always install the mods choosing MODS folder (openiv.asi must exists in main game folder for this, check item #T5), if you are manually installing, copy the RPF to mods folder ("copy to mods folder button") when requested by OpenIV (Or click in the "show in mods folder" button). This applies to any mod that modifies RPF files, ped models, scripts, vehicles, etc.-Verify game files integrity using your launcher case you installed things not choosing MODS folder-If the ped model isn't installed or game failed to load his model, the "Error ped model" text will appear in the mod's Suits list-No, my mods doesn't includes ped models (yet), I make the powers/skills/features, not the ped models-If, eventually, the mod includes a ped model to use the powers, this will be clearly mentioned in Readmes or release post-The only ped model included is the "corpse" ped model by TheMadBreaker and it's used in some feature of some mods, isn't a suit-My mods goes with links to ped models that you can use with the provided Suit config setup that goes with the mod, but you can use any ped model you want
-Adding peds to the game WILL MAKE it more unstable and can result in GAME CRASH at loading or when playing, this is why it's necessary apply the know fix for added peds: # https://www.patreon.com/posts/added-peds-limit-123679009 #
-My tool to add peds to game makes easier add/remove peds to game and also allows to generate a default suit .ini file to make the ped appear in the mod's Suits menu # https://www.patreon.com/posts/35298524 #I made this tool because Addonpeds mod never worked fine for me and for some users.
#4 Suit doesn't appears in the mod's Suits menuSuits and menus
-Only ped models that have a suit .ini file in the mod's Suits folder will appear in the mod's Suits menu-Some ped models comes with suit .ini files that you should use in the mod's Suits folder-This guide shows how to create a suit .ini file manually (Case you don't have one): # https://gtaxscripting.blogspot.com/2019/05/adding-ped-model-to-one-of-my-mods.html #-To spawn a enemy/ally/killer you must have the ped model appearing in the mod's Suits menu-The mod's Suits folder will be located in GTA Scripts subfolders, in a folder with the name of the mod on it, example for Superman mod:
#5 Game crash at loading or game crash when playing
Game crash at loading story mode is commonly related to added peds, the fix is mentioned in the item #3 (In the added peds game crash fix guide)
Game crash when playing for a while, like 20 minutes may also be related to added peds, removing more official MP entries from dlclist.xml may help. Using a different gameconfig or updating your actual one also may help. Remember to always edit the gameconfig.xml ClothStore thing mentioned in the added peds game crash fix guide, it's necessary for peds with working cape (Cloth physics)
#6GTA 5 Enhanced game crash when trying to use a custom ped/vehicleGTA 5 Enhanced "Error requesting ped model" then game crash
-GTA 5 Enhanced needs converted models to use, you can't simple install a GTA 5 Legacy model, game will crash when trying to use the model, the conversion is simple and fast: # https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QvNSnrWQ-o #
To convert a OIV file, check this post
You also need to convert vehicles (not all vehicles work), textures, particle effects and props case they are for GTA 5 Legacy
My mods already goes converted in their GTA 5 Enhanced releases, so, you just need to worry about converting the peds/vehicles models you plan to use
Make sure you didn't installed same ped in different DLC packs, so, if you installed a not converted one, use the Uninstall OIV file generated by my tool to remove it
#7 GTA 5 Enhanced game not starting: Error "Init1 failed"
-You can't use openiv.asi from OpenIV in GTA 5 Enhanced, you will obtain a error on startup, you MUST use openRPF.asi renamed to openiv.asi: # https://pt.gta5-mods.com/tools/openrpf-openiv-asi-for-gta-v-enhanced #
The Readmes of my GTA 5 Enhanced mods have detailed instructions about this
#8 GTA 5 Enhanced game not starting: Game already running
-Outdated .asi mods like menyoo.asi can make game unable to start, it not even starts loading, stops in rockstar launcher screen.Updating menyoo.asi or removing it solves the issue: # https://pt.gta5-mods.com/scripts/menyoo-2-0 #
-Using openiv.asi from OpenIV in GTA 5 Enhanced will result in a error in startup too, you must use openRPF.asi like mentioned before (item #7)
#9 GTA 5 Enhanced OpenIV can't find gta5.exe
We need to trick OpenIV to make it think we are modding GTA 5 Legacy, to do this we need to make a copy of GTA5_enhanced.exe in main game folder and name this copy GTA5.exe, then we will be able to select this folder in OpenIV when setting the game directory
#10 GTA 5 Enhanced error messages when player appears on screen after game finish loading ("Error writing to file...")
Some people have issues with Direct Storage technology and need to install this fix:# https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/directstoragefix #
#11 Mod errors or mod menu not appearing after selecting it in NIBMods Menu
-Update NIBMods Menu and his plugins:# https://www.patreon.com/posts/22783974 #
-Case issue still, update the mod:# https://www.patreon.com/posts/julionib-mods-34679963 #
#12 Enemies/allies/player with low health or dying with one hit
-"pedDamageOverhaul.asi" mod seems to be causing issues with peds health recently, it may come with mods setups from others. Case you have it in main game folder, remove to test.
You can see how much health a ped have using NIBMods Menu > Dev. Tools > Show peds health
#13 Superman lasers not appearing or flickering
I don't know yet what causes this issue but a solution is change Laser FX Type in Suit Config: -Equip the suit -Press Ctrl+N, select Superman mod, then select Suit Config -Choose "Current suit" -Use the filter to find the option "Laser FX Type" and change it
Case your Superman mod doesn't have this option, update it
#14 Lasers/Effects appearing in wrong location
This happens if you don't use a configured suit .ini file for the ped model, you can fix this in the mod Suit Config menu, they commonly have a Editor to help, this guide shows how to do it in Superman mod. If the ped model came with a suit .ini file, you should place it in the mod's Suits folder
#15 "Sending toggle powers command" (or "Sending spawn... command") but nothing happens
This issue may happen when you use Ctrl+zero menu to toggle powers and the target mod isn't installed or isn't working
First thing to do is test the target script selecting it in NIBMods menu (Ctrl+N)
If script doesn't appears in the list, reinstall the script main OIV file
#16 Very long time loading when you toggle powers or spawn a AI
Issue apparently related to antiviruses making silent checks when you try to use the mod
Solution may be add the game (or Scripts folder) to the exceptions list of your antiviruses
#17 Very low performance/FPS (LAAAAAAG) when powers are ON
-Same possible solution explained in item #16
-Possible graphics driver issue, update it
#18 Sound issues: Repeated or robotic, lag and eventual game crash
Change the "Sound play method" in the mod's Options menu, if the mod doesn't have this item, you can try finding it in the mod main .ini file in the mod folder inside GTA Scripts folder, the item name may change with time, actual name is "playSoundMethod_o1", the accepted values are:
simple = 0 soundplayer_3d = 1 directsound_3d = 2 naudio_3d = 3
Default value is 1: playSoundMethod_o1=1
Case you edited the .ini file, save the changes and, to apply the changes, press Insert button on keyboard to reload scripts or load a saved game (or reload the game)
#19 "Error connecting to server..." when trying to use my mods
Issues with your internet/pc (commonly), things like Firewall, Proxy, DNS and VPN may be causing the issue
Game must be allowed in your Firewalls to connect in public and private networks
DNS may be pointing to a wrong IP or not even giving a result, change your DNS servers
Proxy or VPN may be blocking the connection, try to connect without proxy or VPN
#20 Powers not working
First check the items mentioned in the item #1
If issues still, reinstall the mod
#21 Error creating prop/models or error playing anims (animations issue)
1 - This error happens if you didn't installed the mod OIV files choosing MODS folder when requested by the setup screen of the OIV file, make sure you have openiv.asi plugin in main game folder (check item #T5) and reinstall the OIV files of the mod choosing Mods folder.
Verify game files integrity using your game launcher case you installed things not choosing MODS folder that should be installed in mods folder
2 - It also may happen if your game have too much custom DLC packs or HUGE custom DLC packs, removing official MP entries from the dlclist.xml may help, in last case, remove the huge custom DLC packs entries
3 - Updating gameconfig.xml may help too
4 - Other possible issue is a corrupted dlclist.xml file in mods\update\update.rpf\common\data, it must end with those lines:
Each must end with , example:
You can use this site to validate your XML file and see if it's all ok
#22 BattleEye issues
Case your game shows a BattleEye window when opens, you must deactivate it to use mods, ScriptHookV readme have instructions about this:
[Option 1] - Remove "GTA5_BE.exe" (Or "GTA5_Enhanced_BE.exe") from the game's main folder - Launch the game - When the launcher pops up saying about missing files just click on [Retry] button.
[Option 2] - Windows start menu -> Rockstar Games Launcher - In the launcher click [settings] in the top-right corner - Uncheck BattleEye checkbox on the settings screen you are - In the list of games in the settings click on GTAV - Scroll down to [launch arguments] and put "-nobattleye" in there (without quotes)
#23 Game doesn't launch - "Game already running" message on Rockstar Launcher - GTA 5 Legacy and GTA 5 Enhanced
1 - Update or remove menyoo.asi from main game folder
2 - Case issue still, completely close rockstar launcher and temporarily remove your user profiles from "Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V", rename the folder "Profiles" to "Profiles backup"
3 - Case issue still, completely close rockstar launcher and temporarily remove the Rockstar Launcher profiles from "Documents\Rockstar Games", rename the folder "Launcher" to "Launcher backup")
#T1 How to open/find game folder
To find and open your game folder you can use your game launcher, find the game in the list, right click it and search in the items/subitems for something like "show local files" or "manage local files", this is what google says about this at this moment:
#T2 How to update a mod
Case you already have the mod installed and want update it, first of all take a look into Readmes to see if there is a specific instruction related to this, case there is nothing about it, just install the mod main OIV file (They commonly starts with "1 - ")
Case you have a Addon installed, like for example the Sentry and Void addon for Superman mod, you also need to install his main OIV file
#T3 Official Addons for my mods (Sentry/Void)
At this moment, only Superman mod have official addons by me, they are located in Addons folder and may have extra Readmes about it
To install a Addon you need to install their OIV files, follow his Readmes instructions too
#T4 Hotkeys for the powers/features of the mods
I commonly list the hotkeys in my Readmes or in blog posts linked in the Readmes of my mods inside their ZIP files
#T5 How to install mods choosing MODS folder (How to install openiv.asi plugin)
openiv.asi plugin must exists in main game folder to let you install OIV files choosing MODS folder, in GTA 5 Legacy you can use the one from OpenIV (Tools > ASI Manager), in GTA 5 Enhanced you need to use the OpenRPF.asi plugin renamed to openiv.asi like mentioned in item #7
#T6 Installing mods into GTA 5 Enhanced that have NVE Enhanced with onigiri
I made a tool to convert my mods OIV setups for this situation, I didn't tested all my mods, but in theory, they may work 😁
#T7 How to uninstall the mods?
Case you are planning to do this to fix a game crash issue, probably wont solve your issue, big part of time the issue is related to added peds or custom huge DLC packs.
Uninstall the mods may not be a easy task considering all that can be done in a OIV setup like the one for Superman mod, i will make a tool for this later. To completely uninstall one of my mods, check this postYou can easily disable the script in the NIBMods menu > Enable/Disable mods, the mod and his files won't be loaded next time game launch if it's disabled in NIBMods menu.
#T8 TikTok integration
My mods doesn't have a feature to interact with TikTok gifts in lives, but, people use TikInfinity to press hotkeys of my mods, to set the hotkeys to toggle powers, spawn enemies/allies/killers, you can use the ctrl+zero menu from my NIBMods menu.
