@vazlu2804 Glad it worked for you too. I always wanted this mod to work properly, finally I was able to figure out why it wasn't working properly. I wish the authors would've provided the right installation procedures in the first place but, oh well, someone like myself had to come along and fix it.

@JAM102970 Thanks again. I wish someone does some animal texture conversion from other games like ARK or Jurassic Park. I love prehistoric marine animals !!!

@JammersXAM Hello. Thanks for the great mod. It has been working great. Unfortunately, I have a much larger mod that also replaces the popgroups.ymt file. Do you happen to still know which lines are edited by your mod and their values so that I can carry them over to the larger mod?

TOP 5 BEST MODS EVER! we RP that scuba life with friends thanks to you. SALUTE

IT'S WORK, the mod seem not work because Author add too few, all you had to do is copy and paste the Fish in that file, make its to 10GB and you will had full 10000+ Fish in that small ocean

Thank you! Sea life is neglected too often. I wish someone would make a mod to increase dolphin intelligence and events, the game doesn't do them justice. They also die if they touch the air -- they're mammals they can BREATH air. Someone needs to fix that :)

!!ATTENTION EVERYONE!! The "popgroups.ymt" file goes into two different paths in the gta 5 directory. Not only does it goes into: mods\update\update.rpf (as they mentioned here) but, also must be installed into > mods\update\update.rpf\x64\levels\gta5.

Why would this go in updates.rpf? There's no popgroups.ymt there. There is one in update.rpf\x64\levels\gta5 though.

For the ones with already modded popgroups.ymt, you guys may want to try this

1. Use OpenIV to navigate to mods\update\update.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\popgroups.ymt

2. Export popgroups.ymt to desktop, make a backup, and edit it with Notepad as follows:

3. Search for "<flags>POPGROUP_AMBIENT POPGROUP_AQUATIC</flags>". You should see the model name A_C_FISH

4. Replace the content between equivalent <Item> and </Items> lines (containing the above flag) with:

<Name>Fish</Name>
<models>
<Item>
<Name>A_C_FISH</Name>
<Variations type="NULL"/>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>A_C_FISH</Name>
<Variations type="NULL"/>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>A_C_FISH</Name>
<Variations type="NULL"/>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>A_C_STINGRAY</Name>
<Variations type="NULL"/>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>A_C_DOLPHIN</Name>
<Variations type="NULL"/>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>A_C_SHARKHAMMER</Name>
<Variations type="NULL"/>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>A_C_SHARKTIGER</Name>
<Variations type="NULL"/>
</Item>
<Item>
<Name>A_C_KILLERWHALE</Name>
<Variations type="NULL"/>
</Item>
</models>
<flags>POPGROUP_AMBIENT POPGROUP_AQUATIC</flags>

5. Save & Use OpenIV to put it back

@Aquamarina it's a bullshit

@votrinhan88 I have an edited popgroup, would you help me add the fish to it ???

@kushkronik Give it a try, pal :) I swear it is that easy. Just remember to backup first and read the text structure carefully, you'll figure it out

@JAM102970 that is rather frustrating that the authors didn't specify about that second part. very lazy indeed

@decbee I know JammersXAM, the reason why he didn't specified the second path for this mod is because at the time when he uploaded the mod, back in January 2017, the patch at that time was the 1.37 "Import/Export" and that version only had the popgroups.ymt located at one path, which is the one he specified in the instructions, later on Rockstar added the popgroups.ymt at a secnod path with subsequent patches and that's when the mod began to fail because people weren't aware that the popgroups.ymt also went into a secondary path but, it wasn't really JammersXAM's fault. However, he should've updated it since though.

@JAM102970 ahhh yeah, that makes sense. it is not their job to be constantly updating it I suppose. appreciate your help with that extra step ^^

@Qwazori Why tho....

hi i feel like ive loaded this wrong and tryed several times but ill keep trying if it is an active thing so is this up to date thank you!

Is there any mods like this i can use? this is actually good but kinda weird seeing sharks and orcas spawning near beach they should be more far away, small fishes should be near the beach

Very fun mods it makes submarines actually appealing to use.

@votrinhan88 absolute HERO
