Description

This launcher needs .NET framework 4.7.2 to work. It should be installed by default on most Windows 10 computers.

The launcher is open source on github.

This launcher enables you to easily switch between several sets of mods without having to move the mods yourself. It can also be used to move all your mods outside of your game directory automatically.

In order for the launcher to work properly, all vanilla files have to be genuine. GTA V can be modded without replacing any core file, which is, in my opinion, the best practice. Since the launcher works by moving files, it obviously won't work if core files have been modified.

For example, if you want to modify vanilla .rpf files, you must keep the original file as it is, and use OpenIV .asi for the game to load the modified version in the "mods" folder.

How does it work ?

The launcher searches for modded files using a provided manifest of all vanilla files. When you switch profiles, it moves the mods in the GTA V directory to an external folder, then moves the mods of the other profile to the game. Using this launcher, you don't need several "Grand Theft Auto V" folders anymore !
