You can do just about everything thanks to GTA V’s mods community, so to give you a helping hand on where to start, we’ve put together some of the best we’ve seen.

On PC, though, GTA V becomes a completely different beast thanks to mods. Whether you’re completing some of the story missions, or just taking in the attractions that Los Santos has to offer, there’s something to keep you occupied for hours. Maybe it isn't all that impressive but it is for an old gamer like me – as far as I am concerned the graphics of old games actually were quite impressive because they had far less resources to make use of (and perhaps because I grew up on them).GTA V: 20 Mods You Absolutely Can’t Play Without Quite impressive that there's over 41k mods for that game alone. Perhaps that's why I still prefer text based games (when not considering emulators) that I either grew up (Colossal Cave Adventure for example) with and/or am directly involved in developing (still for a long time).

So I am truly ignorant of the games of today in this regard I miss the arcades and book stores (as much as each other which is a lot) but I also miss the older type of games (they're just not the same for me). The only games that come to mind (immediately) that might have had mods (and I really cannot verify this any more because I no longer have them, or if I do I don't know where) would be DOOM, Wolfenstein and/or Rise of the Triad. The last video game console I owned was PS1 and the first was the Atari 2600. In addition, I would recommend that it would also be wise to be much more wary before installing mods and other unknown software on your computer in future.įurther reading: Warning posted on GTA Forums.įound this article interesting?

By all accounts, the mods did what they claimed – but they also secretly installed a file called fade.exe, which connected to the internet and resulted in malware stealing keypresses from victims’ computers.Ī report from VirusTotal suggests that many anti-virus products are now detecting the malware, but not before the mods had already been downloaded and run by hundreds of thousands of GTA fans.
