Now that Grand Theft Auto V is in the hands of nosey PC gamers a huge industry of mods has exploded for the crime sandbox. There are the more usual suspects, like cheats, but then there’s what can only be described as ‘other’.
Have you ever wondered what a giant whale body slamming a city looks like? Well your curiosity can now be sated! Maybe you enjoy triggering instant ragdoll for comic effect? What about music on-the-go?
Here are some of the quirkier mods on the scene today:
Put simply, this is one of those ‘why would I get this?’ mods that turns out to be pretty funny. At any time you can give the command to have Michael, Franklin or Trevor go completely limp. You can quickly activate it or toggle it. How’s this possibly funny? Well…

Script Hook V + Native Trainer
Not strictly about giant sea mammals belly flopping across a city but, the Native Trainer allows for some real crazy tweaks of the game on-the-fly. It lets you mess with practically everything that you could see and interact with, from the more gameplay-impacting cheats to just messing around with physics and other odd properties.
Thankfully Rockstar don’t mind you messing with the very fabric of reality in Story Mode, as long as you don’t try to take any of this to GTA Online, because then anything ‘not cosmetic’ will get you banned. And now watch a giant whale on an adventure in Los Santos…

Don’t you just hate it that boats, submarines and jet-skies lord it over the sea? Now you can take that super car and explore underwater as nature had intended, or race straight up a mountain in defiance. This mod will literally keep your automobile ‘stuck’ to the ground.
Ignore the ‘science magic’ at work keeping the ocean’s pressure from crushing you like a paper cup. Actually, why not take your boat underwater too? Or maybe a jet fighter?

Feeling lonely? With this patented friend-maker tech you can have up to seven dearest chums follow your lead in the game. Sadly having over seven isn’t possible, but they’ll remain friendly nonetheless. You can pick from a wide variety of Los Santos folk to act as your bodyguard.
Can your body shield of strippers, zombies, hillbillys and SWAT survive in today’s crazy world?

…because the digital revolution happened! Yes, Rockstar’s extensive radio station banter and music is no longer imprisoned in the metal casings known as cars, or indeed any vehicle. Now you can listen to thumping tunes while thumping through life in general across the state.
It’s a revolution indeed, especially when paired with the new Self Radio for PC.

There’s plenty of mod creations out there for Grand Theft Auto V, and we’ve barely scratched the surface. GTA IV enjoyed a smorgasbord of outlandish and just plain beautiful mods, so it’s only a matter of time before GTA V quickly catches up.
