CIT fix

A vehicle or weapon mod from /mods does not show, or others cannot see it

You picked a mod in /mods, but the vehicle or weapon still looks normal, or your friends cannot see it. First check that the mod is both Downloaded and Enabled.

Steps

1. Check Downloaded and Enabled

   Type /mods and open the Vehicles or Weapons tab. Each row shows if the mod is Downloaded and if it is Enabled.

2. Download the mod, then enable it

   Only if the mod is not Downloaded or not Enabled.

   For a vehicle mod, open /vehmods or CITPhone > Vehicle Mods, or press X, click yourself and use Vehicle Mods. Pick the vehicle, download the mod, then enable it.

3. Other players do not see it

   Only if the mod works for you but your friends cannot see it.

   This is normal. Vehicle mods are visual changes on your own game only, and gun mods are also only visible to you. Other players cannot see them.

4. A vehicle variant does not work

   Only if you want a vehicle variant and you have a mod for that vehicle.

   Only some vehicles have variants, and variants only work if the vehicle has no mods installed. Remove the vehicle mod first: type /mods, open the Vehicles tab and use Delete mod. The Vehicles tab has no Delete all mods button.

5. Weapons look different from normal GTA

   Only if your weapons look different and you want the original GTA weapons.

   The Weapons tab of /mods lists 17 built-in Server weapon mods. They come with the server, so their Size shows Included, and they are already downloaded and enabled. Disable them if you want the original GTA weapons.
