Vehicle Keeper
Save your favorite vehicles and they never despawn. A saved vehicle keeps its upgrades, paint, damage and fuel, gets a map blip, and re-saves itself as you drive. Compatible with the Single Player Apartment mod.
Vehicles are identified by model and number plate - saving the same model with the same plate overwrites the old save.
Mod data location
The log, VehicleKeeper.ini and saved vehicles live in %APPDATA%\GTA V Mods\KernelPryanic\VehicleKeeper. Upgrading from a version before 3.7.1: copy your old preserved-vehicles.json and VehicleKeeper.ini there from your old scripts (or game root) folder.
When updating to a new major version X.0.0, remove the old mod data first due to possible incompatibility.
Dependencies
Default keys
Settings
Key mappings and capacity can be changed in VehicleKeeper.ini file.
Installation
Just extract content of the downloaded archive to root of your GTA 5 directory.
Or use my Vortex extension for GTA 5.

Seems that the SHVDN issue was fixed in the build nighlty.115 (https://github.com/scripthookvdotnet/scripthookvdotnet-nightly/releases/tag/v3.6.0-nightly.115), if you got any issues, please try this or the newer one (>= nightly.115).
@iceniq the mod was indeed broken, I accidentally used the latest nightly built of SHVDN, so if the older version of SHVDN was used, mode was crashing, sorry! Now everything should be good, try the 3.6.0 version after admins approve it.
Color doesn't save properly. Matte becomes non-matte, metallic midnight purple becomes dark blue, pearlescent disappears...
Greetings, I really liked the mod, what I was missing, but tell me how to change the purpose of the key to save the transport, there is no Vehicle Keeper.ini file in the downloaded directory.
and one more question, after restarting the game, with a preliminary save, all saved cars disappear, how to fix it?
Bro can u pls say name of the garage and the purchasable houses. and I dk works it on enhanced or not, can u pls make instructions file?
Nice mod but freemode players can't save vehicles, will it be possible for freemode too, thanks for sharing
@aldian0, I'll take a look
@aldian0, the mod already works with any characters, it's not connected to the player identity
@null_pointer Yes the mod works well for main players but for freemode players when click spawn vehicle and the information on the bottom left screen says the vehicle has successfully spawned but the vehicle is not there, to be able to spawn the freemode player vehicle, click spawn first then click despwan then click spawn again then the vehicle will be available. I use gta 5 legacy, my suggestion is to remove the X and Z keys because the T key for that menu is enough. Save or Unsave is already in the menu so the X and Z keys can be used for other mods, in your mod description page it says "Key mappings and capacity can be changed in VehicleKeeper.ini file" in my script folder there is no VehicleKeeper.ini there is only VehicleKeeper.dll. I really like your mod because it can save modified vehicles, thank you for sharing
@aldian0 Hm, this is weird, maybe it's due to some changes in legacy, anyways please make sure you use the latest SHVDN https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/script-hook-v-net-enhanced as it should work with legacy too. Regarding unbinding - good idea, I'll add an ability to free hotkeys in the next update. Also note that configs are now at %APPDATA%\GTA V Mods\KernelPryanic\VehicleKeeper because GTA Enhanced locks game folder completely so it's impossible to update configs/logs that live in there.
@null_pointer Yes, I've been using the latest Script Hook V .Net Enhanced [Legacy + Enhanced] because if I use the nightly one it won't work, maybe it's because it clashes with other mods or for some reason I don't understand, this is enough for me but hearing there will be an update would be very nice, thanks for sharing
@null_pointer it's actually possible to update logs and configs by using DirectStorageFix by alloc8or!
@Chiheb-Bacha yeah, thanks for the info) I recently found this out, but let's keep configs in %APPDATA%, avoiding possible issues with updates from Rockstars and also this way they survive game removals, so next time you install the game and the mod - your vehicles and configs should be intact :)
i put vehiclekeeper.dll into scripts folder, dje json file is in my game root directory. still cant use it
@crxapple please make sure you installed correct dependencies and they're up to date
i already have everything needed as i started modding my game 3 days ago, i also tried the lemonUI shvdn3 and shvdn version, as also rage plugin version but it doesnt work
@crxapple make sure you installed this SHVDN https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/script-hook-v-net-enhanced It's the fork of the main one, but more stable and for both Legacy and Enhanced versions.
hey again, this is the one i already installed, i have the SHVDN files in my game root directory, as also the minhook file. the json file was in the root directory, and vehiclekeeper in scripts. i think the only reason it doesnt work could be the lemonUI mod. should I get the standard SHVDN folder, or the SHVDN3 folder? and do i put the files of it into the game root directory, or also into scripts?
@crxapple you need LemonUI for SHVDN3, if you will still have issues you can try https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/2023 - it installs base dependencies and my mods correctly once you drop an archive to it. Most of the mods here don't have a proper folder layout in their archives, so there's no guarantee it will work for them, but it works well with base deps and my mods installation.
