OpenIV Package Installer guide - User Guide

Now we can use the OpenIV package installer feature to make easy to install mods in GTA IV or EFLC, the use it's very simple.

*To install mods in GTA it's interesting use last patch update to have all native methods, or at least patch 1.0.4.0

First download the OpenIV here and install it, at first startup it will ask to you to set the path of your GTA IV or EFLC games, choose the folder where the file GTAIV.exe or EFLC.exe is located, commonly at:

                                C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV
                                                           or for Steam users:
                     C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\grand theft auto iv\GTAIV



*Remember: It's recommended do those steps with the game closed :)


When you download a OpenIV package you will have an .oiv file that must be opened with OpenIV:

Open the OpenIV and click in Package Installer and select the .oiv file:

You will see the initial screen that will have buttons to choose the game version, click in the game version that you plan to install the mod:

In the next step you will choose what to install, commonly the mod will come with one option only, my mods goes with two or three, depending on gta iv/eflc choice, basically what we need to do first is install the mod, then, if necessary, install the additional files:

So, after installing the mod (first option) you need to install the ScriptHook if you don't have it installed.
