GTA V Enhanced Mods Are Outgrowing Miscellaneous

[iammrmikeman]

Hi Nexus Mods Team,

I'm iammrmikeman — I’ve uploaded a few mods for GTA V Expanded & Enhanced that have done fairly well, and I wanted to suggest something that could really help keep things organized as the section continues to grow.

Right now, all GTA V Enhanced mods are placed under “Miscellaneous.” With the amount of new content being made specifically for this version, it’s becoming harder for users to browse properly or for modders to label their work in a meaningful way.

Other GTA-focused sites like gta5-mods.com and gtainside.com already separate things out in a way that works well. I think Nexus could benefit from a similar approach, tailored specifically for Enhanced Edition and how it's actually being modded today.

Here’s a breakdown that I think would make things clearer for both users and creators:

Scripts (by loader):

• ScriptHookV (ASI)

• ScriptHookVDotNet (.NET)

• RAGE Plugin Hook

• FiveM-compatible (Single Player friendly)

• Standalone, Lua, or other formats

Gameplay and mechanics:

• General gameplay overhauls

• Combat and gore systems

• Driving and handling tweaks

• Physics adjustments

• Realism and immersion mods

• AI and wanted level behavior

Content mods:

• Vehicles (add-on or replace)

• Weapons (custom, rebalanced, or retextured)

• Player and pedestrian models

• Clothing and accessories

• Missions and scenarios

• Maps, interiors, and new locations

Visual changes:

• Graphics overhauls and visual presets

• Timecycle and weather mods

• ENB and ReShade setups

• Lighting tweaks (shadows, night lighting, fog)

• Texture mods (roads, vegetation, interiors)

• Blood and gore textures

• Particle effects and explosions

Audio:

• Gunshots, vehicle sounds, ambience

• Voice or dialogue replacements

• Music and radio edits

UI and HUD:

• Radar and map changes

• HUD redesigns

• Interface mods

Tools and utilities:

• Installers and loaders

• Development tools

• Compatibility patches

• Base templates and resources

Even adding a few of these would go a long way in making Enhanced Edition mods easier to find and properly sort. More and more of these mods go beyond simple tweaks, and right now they’re just getting buried.

Thanks for all the work you do behind the scenes. Hope this helps.
