Luke Ross said that the mod is not built with any software made by Take-Two Interactive and did not provide any clarification as to why the strike occurred. The mod has been taken down.

5 major GTA mods that have been shut down by Take-Two
By Arunabha Shome Modified 25 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share There are many mods that Take-Two took down (Images via gta.fandom.com) The Grand Theft Auto (GTA) modding community is arguably one of the most popular and thriving modding communities. This can be directly attributed to skilled modders who have consistently produced amazing patches that transform every GTA game into something new and exciting. Unfortunately, the modding scene is not openly accepted by many companies, especially when modders decide to involve any form of monetary transaction. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has been very restrictive with mods that have come out of the GTA modding community and have attempted to prevent them from being released. To shed some more light on the matter, here are some prominent GTA mods that have been shut down by Take-Two Interactive. Note: This article reflects the writer's subjective opinion.Here are five of the biggest GTA mods that have been stopped or entirely shut down by Take-Two Interactive

Ozark Mod Menu
Ozark was a popular paid mod menu used by many GTA 5 players, offering multiple options and features that they could use to manipulate gameplay. Thus, players could become invincible or rich in the game. But last year, it was taken down by Take-Two Interactive. The creator also provided an official statement explaining the situation to the Ozark Community. The main reason for the take-down might be due to the rampant use of this mod menu in GTA Online, as mods in the multiplayer mode are strictly not allowed and players caught using them get instantly banned.3 Vice Cry
