Rockstar Games’ GTA 5 is one of the most popular open-world games out there and has been praised for its open-world, engaging gameplay, quality of details, and much which made it the highest-selling game in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Rockstar finally announced the long-awaited GTA 6 in December 2023 with the 2025 release date but it’ll be long before it drops on PC.
The mods have kept GTA 5 interesting for almost over a decade but the community has outdone itself with time with very exciting mods and while players wait for GTA 6, they can play some of the best mods available. There are several diverse mods available that add new characters and vehicles, enhance graphics and visuals, and many more.
Although Rockstar doesn’t mind mods in GTA 5‘s single-player campaign, it does not like players messing with GTA Online multiplayer and has also banned players over this. There are several mods available and it can be hard to choose between them. Below are the best ones that you can play in GTA 5. Remember to take precautions if you switch between GTA Online and single-player.
6. Ultimate Outfit Pack
GTA 5 has three main playable characters; Michael, Trevor, and Franklin and while the game has several outfit options, some mods can add many more outfit options. The Ultimate Outfit Pack mod by Menyoo adds functional outfit options by using the trainer mods for single-player and allows players to change outfits whenever they want.
The mod comprises all the outfits available in Grand Theft Auto Online. There are several versions of the mod that players can choose from and has currently 2,154 outfits from The Doomsday Heist, After Hours, Arena War, The Diamond Casino & Resort, The Diamond Casino Heist, The Summer Special Update, and The Cayo Perico Heist.
There are also Flight Suits, Air Racing Suits, store-counter outfits from the Smuggler’s Run update, several mode outfits, and more. Although players go bald when they apply outfits using the mod due to an update, it is nothing big and players can fix it by choosing the outfit first and then the hairstyle.
5. Simple Zombies
Rockstar fans have been longing for some zombie adventure ever since the developer brought the Undead Nightmare DLC in Red Dead Redemption. The Simple Zombies mod transforms the game into a zombie survival game where players go through Los Santos filled with hordes of zombies, build a camp to survive, gather resources by hunting and looting, and recruit survivors.
Players can manage sleep and weapons and build walls and barricades to keep the zombies away from the safe zone. They can also manage survivors so that they do not shoot unless players want them to. The tasks can be applied to all survivors at once. Remember that noises attract the zombies and don’t fire on friendly groups. The mod is quite exciting but is also scary at times.
4. LSPD First Response
While the game lets you wreak havoc across Los Santos, the LSPD First Response mod takes you to the other side as you become a member of the Los Santos Police Department. Players get a police uniform, badge, police-themed weapons, vehicles, and more to enjoy the full police experience.
Players also get a partner accompanying them to protect the city. The mod has several other features including a police station interior with a locker room and jail cells, a “Stop, Identify and Arrest” system that helps players in arresting or letting people go, gunpoint takedowns, and more.
Players can also let suspects go without doing anything, arrest innocent people, and do what they please. The customization options allow players to customize the police experience as they want. They can create custom police agencies, change police vehicles, and even give police officers rocket launchers to blow up things just for fun.
3. Gang and Turf
Gang and Turf mod makes things more exciting and thrilling if the in-game world seems too calm for you. The mod creates a gang and turf system and allows players to take part in gang wars just like in San Andreas. Players can create their gang, name it, recruit members, and control it. They can fight with rival gangs, take control of the territories of San Andreas, and earn money from it.
Players can also register vehicles and help other gangs by sending out members of their gangs. The rival gangs are marked on the map to engage in battles and there will be more gangs as players keep playing. The map keeps changing and players can also get surrounded by other gangs so they need to be wary of that. Players can also start a fight between NPCs by calling their gang back.
2. Open All Interiors
GTA 5 has a variety of buildings in Los Santos but the majority of them are not explorable and players have been upset about it. The buildings are inaccessible for players with locked doors and that’s where the Open All Interiors mod comes in handy. This mod opens up almost every interior in the game with fully functional doors for players to explore every nook and cranny.
The mod also brings some interiors that were cut from the game but were in the game files and they are explorable too. The mod pins a marker to the interior of every location on the map and also pins locations of the stores that can be robbed. There are also two elevators added to the FIB building including the Union Depository and the Humane Labs, which takes players to the upper/lower floors.
Players can simply go to the interiors, enter the places, and explore. There are no doors for some interiors so there is a marker placed that will help players go inside. Some of the explorable interiors include LifeInvader offices, Tequi-la-la, Sandy Shores sheriff department, Paleto Bay sheriff department, Lazlow’s stadium, The “Humane Labs”, Jewellery store, Sweatshops, and many more.
1. Home Invasion
Home Invasion mod allows players to do armed robberies of Los Santos residents with over 75 home invasion location categories including mansions. But it’s not all easy as some residents fight the players. Players can choose how they want to rob a place whether they will take a stealth approach or just confront them.
There are also alert messages if the residents try to call the authorities and the player mask feature will automatically put or take off masks from players’ faces when they enter and leave the house. Players can intimidate the residents into giving the money or even kill them fast enough if they call the police so the police don’t arrive. Also, the same house can not be robbed back to back.
