Sorry for the late response.
If you're talking about EMF and EMFsp, there are video guides for those.

Sadly not yet. Haven't found the time to give it another go.

@3x1t-5tyl3 @TotallyZoe The recent update broke ScriptHook stable release. I recommend using nightly builds for the time being.
https://github.com/scripthookvdotnet/scripthookvdotnet-nightly/releases

I'll update the list just in case.

@I-Smell-Bugs-Dude ignoring scripthopk all is well?

@3x1t-5tyl3 @I-Smell-Bugs-Dude Perhaps one of you two can help me out here. I am unsure to tell if it is scripthook or my poor understanding but long story short I am using the latest nightly scripthook and as far as I can tell RPH and NativeUI etc are all doing what they are supposed tp. The issue is nothing in my mods folder is showing in game. I cannot get Menyoo or SimpleTrainer to work. None of the mods on this list function etc. anything in the plugins folder works fine I just cannot understand why the mods folder is not working. I know this is a poor place to ask but Discord and Reddit have proven either useless or uninterested.

@TotallyZoe I think it was because Rockstar updated the game once again. Script Hook V was just updated yesterday, so you should try again.

Jak zainstalować Pickups v2.2 ? nie umiem modować gta, do tej pory modowałem tylko pojedyncze mody z poradników

ogólnie to potrzebujesz aplikacji OpenIV, także potrzebujesz folderu mods na yt znajdziesz bardzo dużo na ten temat. Gdy już masz utworzony folder z modami otwierasz open IV w prawym górnym rogu widzisz coś takiego jak EDIT MODE klikasz zgadzasz sie na wszystko i następnie otwierasz folder Pickups v2.2 i poprostu przerzucasz plik OIV z folderu Pickups do open iv. Następnie otwiera ci się okienko i dajesz tam że chcesz zainstalować do folderu mods i gotowe

Is there a specific game version recommended to ensure compatibility for this Z experience?

Sorry for the late-response, but I think you should just stick to Legacy Edition, since Enhanced Edition came out like two months ago (as of this writing) and modding that version is still relatively new and not a lot of mods support it.
As for game version, just about any version will do fine.
