GTA 5 mods let you do crazy things to the Story Mode that even Rockstar Games did not think of. The modding community for the 10-year-old game is very big and offers a plethora of mods for all kinds of gameplay. While fans have been asking the developer for a Story Mode expansion for ages, Rockstar has shown no signs of it happening.

But, you can expand the Story Mode using various third-party mods. This article lists five of the best GTA 5 mods that you can use to expand the single-player experience.

Note: All the mods are available on the GTA5-Mods website. The listing is not in any order.

Speed Radar is one of the most interesting GTA 5 mods if you are into roleplaying. In the mission “I Fought the Law…” Rockstar Games allows you to chase three speeding cars. This mod expands that feature and allows you to act as a highway patrol officer.

The Speed Radar GTA 5 mod allows you to impose speed limitations on certain parts of the highway. You can then observe the NPC vehicles and chase anyone that goes over the limit. You can confront the violators using various options provided in the mod, such as providing a ticket, towing their vehicles, and many more.


5) GangMod
