I dont need to fill out the rest, basically I have 3 installs of my game, soon to be more, and I have one specifically for fivem named Grand Theft Auto V - FiveM. Is there a way to have FiveM launch the game from that directory instead of Grand Theft Auto V because it is very annoying to have to keep changing the names of the folders every time I want to play fiveM or lspdfr or online. Is there a way to change this? Thanks

There is no reason to have it set up the way that you do, fivem makes NO changes to the gta v game meaning you can play fivem and then without changing anything go play gta 5 online. Fivem even supports installing all of your menus in the fivem application data folder. Also when you make a copy of your game it makes your game illegal as you’ve only bought 1 copy of the game.

It overlaps with my LSPDFR, that is why I want to make its own installation

Browse to your FiveM installation folder (mostly at %localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.app ) in there look for a file either called citizenfx.ini or citizenfx (file with gear icon)

Open the file in notepad, there should be IVPath= behind it set the path to your gta fivem directory
