5 best GTA 5 mods for more money in 2023

Making money in GTA 5 is slightly easier than in its multiplayer counterpart. Rockstar Games offers decent money for almost all missions in the game, and the economy is also in line with the earnings. This also means there are fewer opportunities for profit than in Grand Theft Auto Online, and players must rely on default income methods. However, the modding community has created a slew of mods to address this issue.

Although money hacks are illegal and unjust in GTA Online, there are no such rules in Story Mode, and players can enjoy the game however they see fit. This article lists five mods in 2023 that help increase one's earning potential in single-player mode.

5) Loot

If you kill any NPCs with this Grand Theft Auto 5 gameplay mod enabled, you can loot them to collect useful items such as snacks, money, and other items. The developers also added proper animation to make the characters appear to be looting the dead NPCs.
