GTA V Modding Launcher 0.7.9 BETA
130.749

This launcher needs .NET 5 Desktop Runtime (x64) to work. It usually is not installed by default on most Windows computers
The launcher is open source on github.
This launcher enables you to easily switch between several sets of mods without having to move the mods yourself. It can also be used to move all your mods outside of your game directory automatically.
In order for the launcher to work properly, all vanilla files have to be genuine. GTA V can be modded without replacing any core file, which is, in my opinion, the best practice. Since the launcher works by moving files, it obviously won't work if core files have been modified.
For example, if you want to modify vanilla .rpf files, you must keep the original file as it is, and use OpenIV.asi for the game to load the modified version in the "mods" folder.
How to use the launcher ?
Simply create a new profile (with the + button), make it active (with a right click on its name) and put mods in your game's folder normally (while being sure not to replace any base game file).
When first starting the launcher, if your game is already modded, a new profile called "Modded Profile" will automatically be created with the current mods.
How does it work ?
The launcher searches for modded files using a provided manifest of all vanilla files. When you switch profiles, it moves the mods in the GTA V directory to an external folder, then moves the mods of the other profile to the game. Using this launcher, you don't need several "Grand Theft Auto V" folders anymore !

To where does it move mods to? I created a new profile, and then ran Vanilla so i could play Online, and now when I go to the modded profile all mods are gone.
@AVGUSERS Hi! The launcher moves the mods to the "Profiles" folder next to GTAVModdingLauncher.exe
All mods should be moved back to your game's folder when you switch back to your modded profile though...
needs to be updated since it removes the battleye files when switching to vanilla
@nodarthvaderwastaken Indeed - I'll do that asap
In the meantime, you can modify the GameManifest.xml file to include the new files
Mod need update with the new game version files
@nodarthvaderwastaken @RealSmoke I've just published an official update to include the new game files to the manifest - sorry for the delay
@Pursuit No need to apologize , Thank you very much for this really helpful launcher
@Pursuit Thank you so much!, this launcher has really been very helpful, appreciate the work that you do!
malwarebytes is now registering this as ransomware, why?
I've noticed that while the launcher is doing a good job moving the primary mod files and the trainer I use, it does not seem to work properly with the mods folder created by OpenIV. It seems to delete the mods folder outright instead of moving it to the profile folder, as it does not get restored when I re-enable my modded profiles that have it.
I really like this tool, has alot of potential, but it doesnt remove mod files, only folders from what I experienced. The gta v remove tool removes all files and folders. I like this one more because I can create different profiles and easily switch between them. If by the next update, you can have this tool remove files along with folders, it will be the ultimate tool for everyone!!
This is an incredibly detailed and helpful post—thank you for sharing! The launcher sounds like a game-changer for managing GTA V mods more efficiently and safely. The ability to create separate modding profiles and keep core files intact is such a practical feature, especially for avoiding issues with the game's integrity.
For anyone looking to dive deeper into modding tips, tools, and tutorials, I highly recommend checking out thestripesblog.com. They have a wealth of information on gaming, modding, and optimizing setups that could be a great resource for both new and experienced modders.
Has anyone here tested this launcher with different versions of the game? I'd love to hear how it's working for you! 🎮
@DrSeussInDaHaus Hey! Good question... I suspect it is a false positive. I can attest to the safe nature of the source code, which is partially open source (ie: the source code of the launcher itself is open & accessible on GitHub, but my personal PursuitLib library isn't open source yet)
@Jambopaul Oh really? That's definitely a bug. Is your "Profiles" folder in the same drive as your GTA V directory?
@skeeze415 It should definitely move files too, as long as they're not in the list of files from the vanilla game. That looks like a bug too
Looks like I have quite a few things to fix :D
@Wering1995 Thanks for the feedback! Happy to see you're finding this launcher helpful :)
@Pursuit thankyou, apologies about how bluntly i put that too its not that i don't trust you or anything just a bit tired and grumpy after some medical issues and all nighters at the ED, I'm normally alot less harsh i swear (sweaty laugh emote) anyway I've been using your mod for over a year and it makes modding so much easier i really appreciate what you do and really i didnt think you would suddenly decide to add malware after all this time just thought i should let you know it comes up that way
@DrSeussInDaHaus Hey! No worries :) - and thanks for the report.
To be honest I would completely understand a suspicion here, there have been multiple examples of bad actors implementing malware into an otherwise harmless application or library, even years after the initial release...
This issue simply highlights a broader security concern about software downloaded from the Internet in general, and in particular about tools like mine. The reality is that I don't have any way to guarantee without the shadow of a doubt that the code is safe. Coming to that conclusion today relies on the following hypotheses:
- That I am a trustworthy developer that didn't implement malware myself, or didn't program the tool in a grossly bad way that would put the user's computer or data in jeopardy (which I can only attest by putting my own reputation on the line, as my software hasn't been audited by any external party outside of the GTA5-mods verification system)
- That GTA5-mods is a trustworthy software distributor that didn't alter the file in any way, (which again, can only be attested today by looking at the website's reputation) - for what it's worth, it is my personal opinion that this website is indeed trustworthy :)
I'm trying to think about how I can increase the security guarantees I can provide to users of my applications. Cryptography (ie: signing my code) seems like it's a promising option, but it's only just a thought I have for now ^^
Hi. After updating GTA, trying to switch profile from vanilla says mods have been detected in my vanilla folder. Is this an error or do I just have to wait for the launcher to update to add whatever new files there are to the list of vanilla files?
@Van981 Hi! Looks like new vanilla files have been added... I will try to update the launcher to include them in the manifest. In the meantime, you can manually update the "GameManifest.xml" file yourself based on the list of files the launcher is moving by default
Thanks for the help! I love the work you've done with this launcher. Another question, are you planning on making it compatible with GTA Enhanced? If not, can changing the manifest myself be enough for me to use it with Enhanced?
@Van981 np! I haven't looked at GTA Enhanced yet, but Enhanced compatibility sounds like a worthy feature :)
@Pursuit Yes please ! I think that having a good way to switch profiles in order to adjust the mods and also quickly have a way to play Online by having a clean profile. It might actually help the modding progress on Enhanced. I hope you consider to develop the compatibility with Enhanced soon :D
