Safe Online Modding Guide

Force Save Local (FSL)

FSL is your first line of defense against bans. It forces the game to save locally instead of on Rockstar's servers.

• Always install FSL before any other modifications
• Verify it's working by checking the FSL folder for save files
• Keep regular backups of your FSL saves
• Never modify FSL save files directly

PinkEye™

PinkEye™ provides safe injection even with BattlEye enabled.

• Always use the latest version
• Don't use other injectors alongside PinkEye™
• Ensure proper antivirus exclusions
• Wait for game to fully load before injecting
