GTA stuck on loading screen (mods)

[The Tickler]

When I try to load my game, it sticks on the "loading story mode" screen and won't load in
I assume it's because I have a mod or two that needs an update to work wit the current game version? I just don't know which one

When Smugglers run came out, I updated
-script hook
-enhanced native trainer
-upgraded MPgunrunning bypass to MPsmuggler'srun (that's the one that allows you to spawn DLC vehicles in single player

Here's some screencaps of my GTAV directory

I have some openIV mods, but just SP character cosmetics, no cars

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure if you are running a "mods" folder added by OpenIV, you need to update the .rpf file from the "new" updated file. In other words, GTAV is looking at that "modified" file in your mod fold, which is not updated, and contains your mod files. Ergo, it is not loading.

You should copy the new .rpf file from the GTAV over as it says on the tutorial. However, this also means you will lose your mods. Someone may have a better way, but that's what I go through every time.

Look at step 6, where it discusses copying over files into the mods folder

I'll try that.
You mean I'll only lose all the things I added with OpenIV, correct? making sure.

Yes, because you are updating that .rpf in the mods folder when you do mods in openiv. So when you have to copy over the new .rpf, it will overwrite. I just don't think there's any getting around that, but like I say, I'm not an expert at it.


So basically, any thing in your mods folder needs to be copied over from the updated GTAV folder.

In my mods folder i have common.rpf, and the entire update folder from GTAV

Actually you may be able to get away with just overwriting
GTAV\update\update.rpf >GTAV\mods\update\update.rpf
GTAV\common.rpf >GTAV\mods\common.rpf

Anyways, however you choose to do it, I think this is your problem

I decided to take a risk and do just that before I saw your reply- And it worked, and my mods are still there! thank you for your help!

i couldnt quite understand this one,where do i put the update.rpf from the gta 5 root file

^Gtav / update / update.rpf ---- gets copied into gtav / mods / update
This is common after any large update that modifies gtav / update / update.rpf
Game updates to not update files within the 'mods' folder.

Do note- that merely copying it will overwrite any modifications you've done to it and they'll need to be reapplied via tools/methods, etc. 'usually' just dlclist.xml contents but whatevs.

Sorry for the necro, but how exactly do I update my mods folder without having to go through the painful process of reinstalling each and every one of them?

if i can't avoid that, then how the hell do I replace my update.rpf file? I can't just drag/drop then replace it in OpenIV.
