Description:
This mod allows online cars to spawn naturally in traffic accordingly to their nature (off-road cars spawn in the desert, expensive cars spawn in downtown, etc....).
!!!!! GTA Online version 1.73 installed is highly recommended !!!!!
!!!!! Tested on the Legacy version, should also work on Enhanded version too !!!!!
Installation :
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE REPLACING. You'll need OpenIV, copy ""popgroups.ymt"" found in the archive to your ""Grand Theft Auto V > mods > update > update.rpf > x64 > levels > gta5"" directory, and replace the original file.
Known issues:
After a cold start of the game, it can take a couple of seconds to see appearing the new cars, just drive around and the new cars will spawn.
If the player stays long enough in an area, the game can/will start to spawn a lot of the same vehicles, my file doesn't edit anything else other than which cars spawn in which area. The game stores those parameters in files called "vehicles.meta" and "vehiclemodelsets.meta".
To alleviate this problem, editing the file "settings.xml" found in "Documents > Rockstar Games > GTA V" and change the value of "VehicleVarietyMultiplier" from 1.0 to 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 can help, note that changing this value will slightly increase the video memory usage of the game.
Notes:
0.5 :
Updated to latest version of the game (1.73 September 2026) and added the new vehicles.
0.4 :
Updated to latest version of the game (1.68 December 2023) and added the new vehicles.
0.3 :
Updated to latest version of the game and added the new vehicles.
Other changes, nothing big.
0.2 :
Added motorbikes.
Quick changes here and there.

Notes:
- Some online cars will spawn with the same color (mostly black, orange or some weird patterns), the game stores car colors infos in another files. To correct this, I recommend Skysder's updated mod colors .
- If the cars despawn when you get close to them, download sjaak327 Simple Trainer and the problem should disappear.

5mods on Discord
@TheFantasticLoi The file has just been uploaded about an hour ago, and I don't have Discord.
Is there a fix for or another mod i need to use so cars dont disappear when you get close to them?
@ripndip Hi, I think I've seen someone having this problem, answers said just download Simple Trainer and it should fix it
cars disappears when I get close to them
@Guokr233 It's Rockstar's fault, just install Simple Trainer and you should be good
ah man i want to install this but i feel like itll ruin some police mods that use the popgroups file. I will try anyway
this mod broke my game, gotta reinstall because of this. please include a vanilla version of popgroups, not really practical to backup such a small file and have it on ur pc when it could've been included in the install of this. cool mod nonetheless.
@jewsluvcoins At first I misread the conditions to upload a file on this website, the condition said : interdiction of uploading ONLY original files of the game, somehow I didn't notice the "only" part, and thought I couldn't upload a backup file.
However, in my description, I specifically said you should backup your file before replacing, furthermore, the path that I gave for installing this was "MODS" > update > ..... So you could have easily restored your original file from the game directory.
So please learn how to use basic modding abilities and basic programs before whining.
It just works!
Perfect, I love the lightweight of this mod! I combined it with "Cops: Back on the Beat" and it's great!
It's brilliant
Sorry, the ratings got removed by mistake
It's not perfect Michael and Franklin's cars should spawn in traffic too its unrealistic that only Franklin and Michael drive a Bravado Buffalo S and an Obey Tailgater in all of Los Santos, also bikes should spawn more too but not all bikes one of the bikes I always see spawning the Nagasaki Chimera does not belong in normal traffic, also I hope you add police cars to spawn in the next update too and all type of police vehicles even the undercover cop cars.
Hey does this work for any custom maps that don't have traffic nodes?
@Starfox1993 I haven't tried it, can't tell, but if there is no traffic or traffic with the standard cars, there will be no dlcs car either.
@DD35_19 Oh ok, understood. I will have to try it out. Thanks
is this like sparky's where you see the same car like 6 times in in the same lane or sum or at one parking spot? cuz if thats so i really wonder what in gta is causing it, i might then try to fix it
Does it still work in current version of the game ?
No police cars at all. As if the police no longer exist.
Commenting just to save this
