Use Mod Loader to install the mods unless stated otherwise!
Install the mods one by one and test the game each time to make sure it works!
Never run the game with more than 60 FPS as physics, animations and even missions start to break!
Improvising this mods list should be done ONLY if you know what you are doing and AT YOUR OWN RISK!

(Solution from GTAForums)
- HD Weapons
Tri-Pack already comes with it's own HD weapons. If you want to play with these ones, you'll have to combine their files together. From my experience, this caused instabilities and is therefore not recommended.
For any additional help, join my Discord server and write your questions in the #🔧support channel.

Very good but I think Tri-Pack mod could have been used better (it has better car detail than the Xbox)
