Installing mods, generally, is almost always going to go something like this, but you’ll get some variance. If you’re confused, your best bet is to dig through the Read Me file that typically comes with any mod you download. Let’s start with a basic example: The FOV mod that enables you to change your field-of-view in all situations.I save my files to a simple “GTA V mods” folder to keep everything organized.Once you have the file saved, extract its contents into a new folder.You then need to drag the pertinent files into the GTA V file folder.That folder will typically look something like: c:\program files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Grand Theft Auto V.If you see GTAV.exe and bink2w64.dll, you’re in the right spot.For the FOV mod, this means I need to drag fov.ini and dsound.dll into Grand Theft Auto V folder.You can then adjust the variables in fov.ini to get exactly the field of view that you desire.Right now, the mod scene is looking a little underfed. OpenIV, the hacking group that released the tools that enabled easy modding of Grand Theft Auto IV, has just released version 2.5 of its software. This enables anyone to get into and edit GTA data files.
