How do you deal with modded update.rpf after official updates?

[aradeth]

vehicles.meta, handling.meta...etc.

I have to change these files to get my vehicle mods work after every official updates.

 

Do i need to change codes in these files after an official update everytime?

 

What is your strategy?

 

Installing a pirated copy of GTA V for mods? Or is there a simple tool for this?

I have 100+ mods, i like playing with them but when an update hits i have to modify these meta files.

 

Please share your ideas.

Get a "acquired through questionable methods" copy for just mods and such. R* is too primitive to have created a proper system that lets players play online legitimately and mod singleplayer to their heart's content. Might as well have the "Acquired through questionable methods" copy for single player, and a legitimate copy for online. Assuming of course that you have enough storage. 60+ GB for each copy is quite insane as is.

 

edit: I also believe that open iv has a system that backs up orginal files and can reinstall mods. I never tried since I do it manually.
