How To Install Menyoo for GTA 5 in 2025: Easy PC Mod Tutorial
If trying to spice up GTA V’s single-player… you know, spawn cars, teleport around, or just mess around with your own chaos, then Menyoo is pretty much the MVP. But let’s be real — installation can be a pain, especially if you’re new or it’s been a while since the last update. This guide is meant to help nail down the exact steps so you don’t end up staring at a black screen or wondering why your menu isn’t popping up. Doing this right means smoother gameplay, less frustration, and way more fun once the mod is running.
How to Fix Menyoo Mod Menu for GTA 5 in 2025
Open GTA V’s Installation Folder Correctly
First, find where GTA V is actually installed on your PC. Usually, it’s in Program Files or maybe in your Steam or Epic Games folder. To make sure you’re in the right spot:
- Right-click on your GTA V shortcut, either on desktop or in your game launcher library.
- Choose Open file location. This should pop up the folder that holds your GTA V executable (
GTAV.exe)
It’s kind of weird, but sometimes the game can be tricky if you don’t actually open directly from the installed directory, not just the shortcut. On some setups, a shortcut might point somewhere else or be a delegated link. So, be sure you’re in the real deal folder.
Download the Required Files, Carefully
Next, grab the essentials — Menyoo and Script Hook V. Make sure you get the latest versions. Downloadable from the official pages or trusted repositories like Menyoo’s GitHub and Script Hook V official site. You absolutely want the latest stable releases, especially for 2025, since updates break compatibility sometimes. Downloaded files tend to be .zip archives, so don’t forget to give them a quick check for malware or corruptions — not that they’re inherently risky, just cautious.
Extract and Prepare Files — The Clunky Part
Once downloaded, extract these files into a folder you can access easily. Right-click MenyooSP.zip and pick Extract All…. Pick a destination — I usually just put it on the Desktop for now. Repeat for Script Hook V files. Be sure to keep things organized so you can clearly tell what’s what. Because of course, Windows has to make it harder than necessary by dumping files all over the place.
Pro tip: Double-check the extracted folder contents. You want Menyoo.asi and a MenyooStuff folder, plus all the Script Hook V files.
Install Script Hook V — Important
This is the backbone that lets GTA V load scripts. It’s pretty straightforward:
- Navigate to the extracted Script Hook V folder. Inside, there’s usually a bin folder.
- Copy these specific files:
ScriptHookV.dlland oftendinput8.dll(for mod injection). On some setups, there might beScriptHookV.xml— you can ignore that. Just deliver the DLLs into your GTA V folder. - Paste them right into the main GTA V installation directory (`Steam/steamapps/common/Grand Theft Auto V` or your custom install path). Say yes to overwrite if it asks. If the game is running, close it before copying over these files—better safe than sorry.
Why? Because missing or outdated Script Hook V is often the cause of the menu not appearing or the game crashing. On some machines, the first try might fail, and a restart or re-copy fixes it.
Install Menyoo Properly — Almost There
Now, grab those Menyoo files:
- Open the MenyooSP folder you extracted earlier.
- Drag
Menyoo.asiand the MenyooStuff folder into your GTA V folder. This folder is the main directory with the game’s executable. Be sure to replace any existing files if prompted, especially if you’re updating or reinstalling.
It’s kinda weird, but sometimes the game just refuses to load the menu if the files aren’t in the right place. So, keep it simple and put everything directly into the main GTA folder—don’t mess around in subfolders that aren’t meant for mods.
Launching the Game — Crossing Fingers
Done with the installs? Good. Launch GTA V as normal. To activate Menyoo, press F8. If it doesn’t pop up, double-check that the Menyoo.asi file is in your GTA folder and that you’re pressing the right key. Sometimes, other programs or key bindings might conflict, especially if you use custom controls or mods.
On some setups, pressing F8 doesn’t work right away. In that case, try disabling other overlays like Steam or NVIDIA GeForce Experience, which can sometimes interfere with mod menus.
Use Menyoo and Troubleshoot
Once the menu’s up, you’ll see options like spawning cars, changing weather, or activating cheats. Use the arrow keys to navigate; hit Enter to select. Easy, right? But if something isn’t working — like the menu never appears — recheck your files and installation steps. Sometimes, a quick game restart after copying files helps. Also, ensure your game version isn’t too far out of sync with the mod — on new updates, older mods might get broken without notice.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
- Always keep backups before installing mods. That way, if something goes sideways, you won’t lose your saved games or have to reinstall everything.
- If the mod causes crashes, try removing
Menyoo.asior the entire MenyooStuff folder, or update to the latest files. - If you run into issues like game not launching or blank screens, make sure your Visual C++ Redistributables are up to date, and consider running GTA V as administrator.
Wrap-up
Getting Menyoo to work in 2025 isn’t super complicated once all the files are in the right spots and compatible with your game version. It’s kinda hit-or-miss sometimes, especially with key bindings or new game updates, but after a bit of trial and error, it usually clicks. Just remember to keep backups, double-check paths, and don’t run other mods that might conflict. With that all set, run the game, press F8, and start causing some chaos.
