• Ensure you have a fresh installation of GTA 5 Enhanced.
• Extract mods and commandline.txt from LWE Enhanced for Vanilla into your GTA 5 Enhanced game directory.
• Install ScriptHookV and OpenRPF.
• Delete args.txt from your GTA 5 Enhanced game directory.
• Launch the game.

• Ensure you have a fresh installation of GTA 5 Enhanced.
• Install NaturalVision Enhanced first.
• Open the LWE for NaturalVision Enhanced folder and copy the onigini folder into your game directory.
• Launch the game.

• Install QuantV Enhanced first.
• Clone GTA5_Enhanced.exe from your GTA 5 Enhanced game directory and rename the copy to GTA5.exe.
• Install OpenIV and set your GTA 5 Enhanced directory as the target.
• In OpenIV, navigate to mods/update/update.rpf/common/data and paste dlclist.xml from LWE.
• Delete the args.txt file from your GTA 5 Enhanced game directory.

If you want to combine different densities and regions, simply add or remove the desired dlcpacks folder and the changes will take effect automatically, without needing to edit the dlclist.xml file.

• Navigate to LWE Enhanced for Vanilla > mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks.

• Reduce Extended Distance Scaling. This setting renders dense vegetation at far distances and can impact performance. Lowering it ensures trees and props are rendered only when they’re within your visible range.
• Consider Disabling LWE_Props. The optional LWE_Props package may cause some FPS drops (around 6%). If maximum FPS is your priority, you can temporarily avoid this package until further optimizations are made. The rest of the mod does not significantly affect performance.
• Avoid NVIDIA PCSS shadows, as they can cause distant trees to appear without shadows.

These tweaks primarily affect the optional LWE_Props package. We’re actively optimizing props to maintain realism while improving frame rates.
