Short description
This project aims for making roaming/exploring in GTA V a smoother experience, with less interrupting elements and no violence. Focus is on making the game have as little violence as possible but violence can be put back and customized in the configuration file if you like. Change the default settings when you want to do violent missions. You can also deactivate/activate the mod with a key. Some features when activated may unable you to complete your mission. Just like when you got certain features activated with a trainer.I highly recommend using this perfect start game save if you want as little violence as possible. OR If you want everything unlocked in game then use this one.

Make sure to install the configuration file (more under installation). And if you want even less violence, scroll down to "How to make the game even less violent".

Weapons are now removed from the player by default. Get them back by setting (works while playing): remove_all_player_weapons=0 and disable_all_firing_and_melee=0 in the .ini file and save it (scroll down to "How to make changes in the configuration file" for more info). The player also gets back all weapons when deactivating the mod with the key.

If you have ideas for new features and improvements I appreciate it.

More features and info in the in the configuration file that comes with the mod.

Installation
You need the latest version of the tool Script Hook V by Alexander Blade in order for this mod to work.

Put FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming 1.x.asi and FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini into your GTA5 folder where your GTA5.exe is located. Remove it again to remove the mods feature. Note that you can be banned if you try to use mods in multiplayer (GTA Online).

Always use the latest configuration file that comes with the mod (FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini). In order for the mod to work with the default settings you need to use a game save and I highly recommend using this perfect start game save if you want as little violence as possible.

If you want everything unlocked, for example be able to play golf, use this one. Do got a little violence though like for example randomly witnessing car thefts of other peoples cars in the area.

How to make changes in the configuration file
With the mod comes the file called FamilyFriendlyFreeRoaming.ini. As stated in the installation instruction, this file goes into your GTA5 folder where your GTA5.exe is located. Just like the mod itself. The file can be opened and edited just like a text file but you might have to right click on it and click open as. You can use any text editor, like notepad.

The .ini file is read from continuously and so when you make changes in it and save it, these changes will take effect when you tab back into the game. There is no need to restart anything. Just go Alt + Tab while playing and switch to the .ini file, make some changes, save and Alt + Tab back into the game.

How to make the game even less violent
-- If you don't want your child to be able to inactivate the mod, simply change the number after activate= in the .ini file to nothing. That way no key code can be found and nothing happens.

-- You might want to consider turning these features on: consequences_when_crashing_into= (1 or 2)
max_vehicle_speed= (anything above -1 will be used, -1 means off)

-- Remove the intro video of the game.
-- Install alternative loading screens.
-- With a trainer like Enhanced Native Trainer you can auto remove scratches on the vehicle etc. With the help of a menu you can customize your experience even further and for example also spawn all vehicle models, change the time and lock it and teleport. Note that some features exists in both my mod and these trainers.

-- Don't play as Trevor. :)

-- Turn off notifications under settings.

-- Turn off aircraft firing with airplanes by changing keys in settings, key bindings, aircraft.

-- You might want to consider disable more radio channels. Some are still on as default that are not so violent but to be completely sure you can instead use the self radio with your own music or spotify. You can turn music off in the game settings, if you don't want to do it in the .ini file.
Play your own music instead of the radio: In the configuration file, under [Radio], set all channels to -1 except RADIO_19_USER which should be set to 1. Here's how you set up your user music channel. If you don't want any radio or music at all you can go ahead and change OFF=0 to OFF=1 in the config file.

-- Now, while the "Ultimate 100% Perfect Game Save" linked to above got all random events completed, I have noticed that you still can witness random vehicle thefts. A pedestrian somewhere in your area gets his/her vehicle stolen and wants you to help him/her get it back. And while you can ignore these events, it is still a bit disturbing to hear and see the thief driving away and the victim call for help. The best solution I got for this so far is to use a starter game save instead . I have played with this game save for many hours without anything disturbing at all. Note that this save only got about 10% story completed which means that not everything in the game is unlocked in shops etc. But you can get those items with a trainer if you like, for example max out your vehicle. You can also only play as Franklin although that doesn't really matter and you can still change skin with a trainer if you like. The whole map is unlocked so it doesn't affect your exploring.
On the map there is a marker leading to a violent mission. Make sure to have set stop_cutscenes=1 (set as default), that way the mission will fail directly, before any violence occurs and the free roaming can continue.

A few interesting mods
I have not tested all of them yet so I can't say for sure that they are all completely violent free.
JobsV [.NET].
Trucking Missions.
Animal Ark Shelter.
Vehicle Remote Central Locking (no violence, made by me).
Koenigsegg Agera R. A totally amazing car mod with many cars included in a dlc/addon.
Open All Interiors. A must have.
Single Player Apartment.
Super Yacht.
Working Restaurants.
Travel to North Yankton.
Nice Fly.
Los Santos Airlines.
Premium Deluxe Motorsport Car Dealership.

If your computer can handle it, consider installing a graphics enhancer mod. It really makes it so much more fun!

I didn't get any FPS drop while using this setup:
1. ENB
2. VisualV, use the mod package in OpenIV
3. "The package called "ReShade + SweetFX 2.0". Only worked for me when installing manually, that is
moving Sweet.fx, ReShade.fx, ReShade64.dll and the SweetFX folder into the GTA V folder."
4. Presets

I like game brightness at about 40-50% with this.

Not yet implemented/ todo list
-- Remove more inappropriate pedestrian models if any are found.
-- With 1.1 all speech sounds are suppressed. With the help of OpenIV you can replace sound files. They got nice guides for this. It require some time invested though. The ambient sound files are in "GTA V/x64/audio/sfx S_". Normal male peds are in S_FULL_AMB_M and females in S_FULL_AMB_F
Players are inside S_MISC.

animations. The player is also given parachutes. When falling and close to the ground, the player is moved to the ground.

- 2.3
-- Performance optimization.
-- Changed default value of speech_sounds to the new value -40. -40 means same as -30 (no scripted conversations) except scripted conversations are allowed when inside a taxi. This is to avoid for example preaching soapboxers but still hear the communication with the central. Old default value was -10.

max_distance_to_new_vehicle=100
;A new vehicle will only be looked for within the distance (in meters).
;
new_vehicle_max_height_over_ground=100
;If a vehicle, for example a helicopter or a plane is above this height it will be ;ignored. This value needs to be lower or equal to ;max_distance_to_new_vehicle.

-- Improved disable_all_firing_and_melee. The player can no longer shoot with vehicle weapons.
-- Improved remove_all_ped_weapons. Ped pilots (not including the player) are no longer able to fly the military fighter jet called Lazer in the area of Fort Zancudo. This is because they shoot at the player. There seems to still be a script from the game which causes random explosions without any source if you fly inside the airspace of the fort.
-- Improved bussing_peds_with_horn. Peds should no longer keep running after players vehicle without entering it.
-- Fixed reset issues.
-- Various minor improvements.

- 2.5.1

2. new_vehicle_max_height_over_ground in the .ini file should be 100000 instead of 100 as default. Also, this value is not dependent of max_distance_to_new_vehicle as it's said before in the file.
