# SP Automatic Installation (OIV)

## Before we start

{% hint style="info" %}
**OIV** files (**OpenIV Package Installer**) are packages used to easily install mods on **GTA V** and other supported games through the [**OpenIV** program](https://openiv.com/). OpenIV is an essential tool for modifying game files and is widely used in the GTA V modding community.

An OIV package contains all the necessary files for the mod, along with automatic installation instructions, making the entire process simpler. Instead of manually installing individual files into game directories, the OIV automates the process of copying files to the correct folders, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Before we start going thew the process, there's something else we need to install first: [Simple Trainer for GTA V](https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/simple-trainer-for-gtav),  a mod menù that removes certain restrictions for GTA Online vehicle that would otherwise prevent them from spawning in the Single Player mode of the game.

This trainer can easily be installed by dragging and dropping it's files into the "Grand Theft  Auto V" folder.

As any other script mod, this trainer requires [Script Hook V](http://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/) to be installed as well.

## Installing Traffic Plus+

As we are using the automatic installation method there are not much stuff we need to do, so here's the steps listed one by one.

### Step 1 - You have just downloaded the mod

You now have a .rar archive, double click to open it, you should see something that looks like this:

<figure><img src="/files/ryG9ZpiZREwPM98cUxlG" alt=""><figcaption><p>inside the .rar file</p></figcaption></figure>

what we really care about is the folder, open it and navigate thew this path: "Traffic Plus+ Lore-Friendly 3.0 / Get Traffic Plus+ Lore-Friendly for / GTA V - Single Player / Automatic Installation (OIV)".

### Step 2 - Starting the automatic installation

Once here, we should see a file called: "TP+LF.oiv", grab that file with your mouse and extract it from the .rar archive and put it where you want.

### Step 3 - Use OpenIV to install Traffic Plus+

Now you can close the .rar archive, we have taken what we wanted already.

Don't do anything particlar, just open OpenIV, activate the Edit Mode (on the top right corner).

Now drag and drop the OIV file into the OpenIV window, if you have done everything correctly a window like this should appear:

<figure><img src="/files/L0H0hTLUzqEedsR0BttP" alt=""><figcaption><p>What we actually care about in all this is just the "Install*" button</p></figcaption></figure>

Once you press on install, OpenIV will ask you this:

<figure><img src="/files/0gmbGkCpT2Z9Psaneuzj" alt=""><figcaption><p>Game or mods folder?</p></figcaption></figure>

We're gonna select our mods folder for this installation, so we are never gonna touch original game files.

Once the process has finished, TP+ is installed correctly into your game.

## Please Note

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you install other big mods using OIV installers, depending on what they are, they might overwhite some TP+ files, make sure TP+ is alwasy the last OIV you install before running the game.
