However, the problem is its quite a lot of hassle to do and requires a lot of internet searches and in some cases OpenIV to extract or input the files.<\/p>\n<p>Rockstar who made the game really dropped the ball on this one and made it really quite difficult to do this and if you use a PC usually gamepad for driving and keyboard for when out of the vehicle, or you use a mod in GTA like LSPDFR then you will find just using a program like Joy2key will still not only open your selections but the default ones too for example you remap a key to say shift on the controller and that alerts a ped to pull over their vehicle but it also aims a driveby weapon at them at the same time!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1686\" src=\"http:\/\/www.samanthajohnson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/gamepad-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.samanthajohnson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/gamepad-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.samanthajohnson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/gamepad-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.samanthajohnson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/gamepad-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.samanthajohnson.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/gamepad.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To over come this the solution is to create a mod folder and and place an update file within it then edit a common file from the original game (encrypted) and then save that copy to the mod folder else it kinda breaks the game if you try to overwrite the original.
