@kwolf288 No, you can have other mods in the folder, but it is suggested that this mod be the FIRST mod you put into your mods folder. Mod authors of "larger" mods tend to recommend this for several reasons.

@andyneedles I believe there are instructions for correcting this in the README file of the download.

Do you need an RTX 3090 and an i9 9900k to play this mod at a stable 60 FPS? I have tried this mod on two hardware configurations. A GTX 1050/i5 9300h/8GB RAM laptop and my current 1660 super/ryzen 5 2600/16GB RAM desktop. They both run the exact same with this mod installed. Frame drop central. Graphics settings makes no difference in performance. It shocks me that nobody is talking about this. I have an easier time running RDR2 or even GTA 4 at ultra settings than playing GTA V with this mod installed.

@wyruzzah
Interesting. There's no difference between the compressed and uncompressed versions. How do you compress them though? What textures does the mod replace?

Is this compatible with Vanillaworks?

@MicahBell Dont be fooled, there is definetly difference.. its depends on colors, like black and grey is ENEMY of dds compression.. example https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/attachments/sample_03-jpg.48514 , but you can try hide some artifacts with strong materials that game applies (specular colors) or other tricks (try add some graphic noise, different brightness etc.), but police (ped) faces dont need uncompressed textures, its pointless and 10x bigger textures not worth it :) I can understand uncompressed textures for really black textures etc., but i still dont use them and WOV could remade a lot of textures to DXT1/5..

How do you compress the textures? Do you have some kind of pack that already contains the compressed textures? Sorry for the noob question, lol. I really want to get this mod running good because it's a good mod but the performance drops kill me, especially considering the fact that my current setup is way better than my last one yet performance hasn't changed at all

@macmoosie
I used this mod and vanillaworks (default settings, current version) and it worked just fine. No crashes.

@MicahBell yea fps drops to 50

@MicahBell You need Photoshop / GIMP plugin to properly save .dds as compressed textures (which is default for GTAV) or you can convert it with OpenIV, but it will look like sh*t - no disrespect its just not for graphic stuff), this is not really place to talk about it. Maybe i could convert all textures (only peds and textures that needs it) from this mod, but only with permission from authors and there will be artifacts as i said before (even more if texture was artifacted before saving as uncompressed / was several times saved as compressed without backup of uncompressed texture for next editing).

Work perfectly but who the fuck told you to replace The Families with some white gang damn it

@SSevenbrand Thanks for the reply. sucks I gotta redo my other mods but it seems worth it.

How to get to the island?

how to fix peds limping when they walk??

@O_Mandias I would start by uninstalling WOV and installing Gangs of Los Santos. GLS was integrated into WOV and is likely the trigger. If you can't duplicate it there but you can with WOV only then you've narrowed down the cause.

I really cannot understand how to install this. You have to create a new mods folder, so other mods simply won't work with this???? I have already Los Santos Life installed. I hope it won't collide with other mods

Anyone have problem with the prolouge when starting a new game?

I seem to be having issues installing the wov file to my mods folder with OpenIV. When I click the wov in the package installer, nothing happens. The menu to choose the installation location doesn't even appear.

should i install the gameconfig after or before wov?

@MrSun26 Not only on prologue but in every mission, i've tested it and yeah it messes up when you're starting another save game again. I'm just doing the drag and drop my mods folder whenever i'm doing some missions
