This week on the Mod Roundup, the GTA 5 Redux mod has finally arrived, promising lots of changes to visuals, weather, physics, lightning, and weapons. Meanwhile, a much-beloved Halo mod for Sins of a Solar Empire makes its way into Stellaris, and a mod for Fallout 4 lets you eat items without having to find them in your inventory.
Oct 02, 2016 My friend got GTA V and I'd love to play online with him, but I need to uninstall GTA V Redux. I tried to reverse the guide, but Open IV installs a package, in which I am unsure of what it is.
Here are the most promising mods we've seen this week.
GTA 5 Redux
After a hacker-based delay, GTA 5 Redux has been released. The long-awaited mod overhauls the game’s visuals and features new textures, fire and particle effects, and reworked physics and weapons systems. There are also changes to lighting, weather, shadows, clouds, and tons more including over a dozen ReShade options.
Sins of the Prophets: Stellaris
If you enjoyed bringing the Halo universe into Sins of a Solar Empire, now you can do the same with space strategy Stellaris. The Sins of the Prophets mod introduces Halo-based assets like ships and structures for you to play with, and plans much more in the future.
Eating off the Floor, for Fallout 4
Hear me out: this isn't as gross as it sounds. When you find a food or beverage item in Fallout 4, you need to pick it up before you can consume it. Makes sense, but it's also a pain since picking it up adds it to your inventory, which means opening your Pipboy and scrolling through the list to find the item that, logically, would still be in your hand. With this mod, you can choose to consume something right off the table, shelf, or floor.

Over the weekend we told you about the release of the GTA 5 Redux mod which tweaked many of the game’s setting to make the game look so much better.
Since the mod went public, members of the GTA community have called out the mod author Josh Romito accusing him of stealing code. Romito has in the past been involved in project called The Pinnacle of V which was pulled by Romito after it was found that he had used assets and work from other mod makers.
When the Pinnacle project was pulled Romito stated:
“I was shocked to see some of the support I was receiving, and how generous people were. It turns out it was all lies and stolen content. I’m not sure how else to handle a situation like this, so I am simply shutting it down and releasing the honest truth. ”

Simply put, Romito claimed he had received help from the community and that help was providing stolen content for this Pinnacle mod.
In the case of GTA 5 Redux, mod author CP who created the Visual V mod, has accused Romito of stealing his code for Redux. A lengthy post on Reddit gives examples showing similarities.
The community is taking sides, some gamers have no problem supporting Redux as it brings the ideas of different mods into one package, while other are frustrated that Romito is using code/settings from other mods.
The problem as we see it is that Romito has not given credit to mods such as Visual V if he has in fact directly yanked the settings. Mod making communities are tight and it’s never a good idea to upset your peers.
Thanks Casey.
