Follow these detailed instructions to create a backup plan for your GTA 5 installation.

1. Steam Users: If you acquired GTA 5 through Steam, navigate to your Steam library. Right-click on “Grand Theft Auto V” and choose “Properties.” In the “Local Files” tab, click “Browse Local Files.” This opens the directory where GTA 5 is installed.
2. Non-Steam Users: If you have a non-Steam version of GTA 5, locate the directory where you originally installed the game.

To ensure easy identification and management, consider labeling the backup folder with a clear and descriptive name, such as “GTA 5 Backup [Date].” This organization will make it straightforward to locate your backup when needed.

By meticulously following these steps, you’ve now established a solid backup plan for your GTA 5 installation. This precautionary measure not only secures your progress and settings but also grants you peace of mind as you embark on the exciting journey of enhancing your game with graphics mods through the FiveM platform.
