A warning before we start: Rockstar has clarified its stance on modding, and has said it does not ban players for modding their single-player game. Still, don't ever use mods in GTA Online, and to play it safe, don't join GTA Online with single-player mods installed.
GTA RPG
This massive mod turns GTA 5 from a sandbox criminal shooter into a more traditional sandbox RPG. It adds dialogue trees, character customisation, level ups and perks. Don’t expect BioWare levels of choice, but it does make the game feel more like something made by Ubisoft or Bethesda than Rockstar’s usual fare. Download it here.
The Red House
I can’t imagine anyone feeling that GTA 5 doesn’t have enough ‘content’ for their needs, but if you do then The Red House is exactly what you need. This pack adds 20+ new missions and a full three-stage heist, including AI bodyguards to back you up while you take them on.
Army at Five Stars
In past GTA games, achieving the highest wanted level resulted in the army being unleashed to hunt you down. This isn’t the case in GTA 5. The worst opposition you’ll ever face is a SWAT team and the FIB. This mod lets the army join the chase again, coincidentally giving the player a better chance to hijack military vehicles. Download it here.
Fire Breather
This is the fire breather mod. It enables your character to breath fire. It also works if you’ve used a trainer to transform yourself into a dog, which means you can play as a fire-breathing dog. Curiously, the mod does not make you fireproof, so caution is advised when travelling forward lest you run into your own searing flames.
Car Jetpacks
Flying cars! Lazy joke about how we were all promised flying cars in the 1950s! Anyway, while we didn’t get flying cars we did get giant virtual crime sandboxes, which is probably a fair trade in the long run. Especially as we can now put flying cars in our giant virtual crime sandboxes, with the aid of this mod. Huzzah!
Single-player snow
For those who want something a little more Christmassy than the traditional GTA V, this mod covers San Andreas in a fine blanket of snow. It’s called Single-player Snow because there is also a GTA Online version of the mod, but I don’t recommend using it until Rockstar clearly explains its policy regarding mods and GTA Online.
Custom Number Plate
Only vacuous, egotistical nonentities spend money on personalised number plates, but since that’s who you play in GTA, this script makes a lot of sense. Simply get in a car, hit a key, and type whatever you want have it instantly appear on the number plate. Now you can finally put ‘l33t’ or ‘b00bs’ on the front of your million dollar sports vehicle. Download it here.
Vehicle Controller script
You drive cars in GTA 5, but now you can truly operate them with the Vehicle Controller script. Pop the hood and trunk, signal turns, turn on the hazard lights and even the interior light. I know most of this sounds cosmetic, but there are some real in-game perks, such as the ability to leave the engine running and the driver's side door open, useful for quick getaways. You can also toggle cruse control so you don't have to lean on the gas pedal constantly during long drives.Here's a video.
Gravity Gun script
Put a little Half-Life 2 in your GTA 5 with the Gravity Gun script. Equip the stun gun, aim it at something, and hold the E key, and you'll be able to lift and hurl your target really, really, really far. Works on cars, hapless NPCs, and other objects. You can watch it in action here.
FOV Mod
Gta 5 shipped with a fairly constrained field of view, but modder DrDaxxy got to work and produced an FOV mod. Now you can set your own custom FOV. Installation instructions are in that Reddit thread. Note: the FOV mod doesn't appear to have been updated since the last Rockstar patch, and may be out of date at the moment.
Nice Fly script
You won't look like Superman—not yet anyway—but you can fly like him. TheNice Fly script lets you sail through the air—in directions other than down—without having to steal a jet first. The mod requires you to be wearing a parachute, ironically, though you won't need to pull the cord. Because you can fly. Here's a video.
Police Mod script
Tired of battling the cops? Why not join 'em? The Police Mod script lets you reskin yourself as the police officer of your choosing, spawn any type of cop car you want (choppers included), and even spawn a loyal partner (or several). You can listen to the police scanner and report to high speed chases and shootouts to lend a hand. Best of all, you'll never get a wanted level because you're Johnny Law.
Car Cannon script
You've shot cars in GTA 5, but have you ever shot cars? Like, out of your gun? The Car Cannon script replaces your bullets with automobiles, letting you fire a stream of cars and trucks of all kinds, because why the hell not? It's Los Santos. Place is straight crazy.
North Yankton Loader
GTA 5 begins in the frigid climes of North Yankton, after which you're whisked to Los Santos for most of the rest of the game. If you'd like to revisit it on your own schedule, this North Yankton Loader is a modified version of the Native Trainer that comes with a submenu to let you race around the snowy streets whenever you like.
Ragdoll on Demand Mod
You've punished random pedestrians in all sorts of horrible, often lethal ways, but sometimes it's fun to just freak 'em out by flopping all over them with theRagdoll on Demand mod. This mod lets you turn your limbs to jelly whenever you want (even in cutscenes). It's a good way to amuse yourself, too, especially during lengthy exposition scenes.
Mobile Radio script
GTA games always have great radio stations, but it's sort of disappointing that you can only listen to them while in a vehicle or one of your houses. The Mobile Radio script lets you listen to your favorite tunes on foot as well. Just imagine your phone came with earbuds.
