Unfortunately, without telling the community, Take-Two modified the agreement to be more stringent and included stipulations that no “new games, stories, missions, or maps” could be made. Additionally, the agreement didn’t put rules on older RenderWare titles like GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas, so they were freerange for any mods.
However, after massive backlash from the community, Take-Two modified their stance and posted an agreement stating fans were free to mod its games as long as it didn’t affect GTA Online and it wasn’t to port content from older titles to GTAV. In 2017, the company went after GTAV mod tool creators OpenIV and several high-profile mod projects for that game.
The GTA modding community and Take-Two have had a tenuous relationship.
