Can using too many mods slow down the game performance?

Will adding a lot of mods to my GTA V casino game mod cause lag? I want to create a wiki and walkthrough guide for a real-life casino heist, but I’m concerned that loading up the game with too many assets and custom code might affect its performance. Do any modders or players have advice on how to avoid slowing down the game while also enhancing its functionality?

Yup, lots of mods does increase the likelihood of lag, particularly if they have a lot of visual effects or high-poly meshes (you can minimize these by using mods like the Low Poly Pack). Your casino job mod sounds great; just try to keep it lean as far as content goes – remember, less is more! For instance, use the “minimalist” versions of mods instead of ones with extra content. Also, make sure the mod’s compatibility is not causing any issues. If gameplay is slowing down, adjust draw distances and simplify objects. Keep an eye on how it performs during playtesting. And always backup your files – modding can be a bit risky. Let me know if there’s anything specific I can advise you on!

Right, lots of mods will slow down GTA V if they are resource-heavy. With the casino mod and heist walkthrough, you should try to minimize it, select only what you need, then test it out. If it causes any lag or crashes – remove it. Also, make sure your mod folders are tidy and you use a mod manager such as Simple Trainer. Don’t overdo it with textures or NPCs in the game world, and be sure to monitor the FPS while playing.
