Guideline 4.1

Mod Uploads and Submission Requirements

Upload only files you created or are authorized to distribute. You are responsible for every included asset, script, dependency, and component. Do not submit stolen, leaked, ripped, paid, or otherwise unauthorized assets; malware; deceptive installers; or files that behave in ways not disclosed on their page.

A submission must have an accurate title, the appropriate game/category, a useful description, supported versions or requirements where relevant, and representative preview images for visual mods. Credit collaborators and third-party assets clearly. Disclose important dependencies and installation steps.

The actual downloadable mod must be hosted through GPM's approved upload process; do not submit a placeholder whose sole purpose is to send members to an off-site download or payment gateway. File authors may specify additional usage terms on the mod page, but these cannot override GPM's free-download requirement or its Terms of Use.

GPM reviews uploads before publication and may reject, hide, or remove files that fail these requirements. Approval does not make GPM responsible for the uploaded content.

Allowed

  • Posting a complete, free mod with screenshots, instructions, and credits.
  • Uploading an authorized collaboration with documented permissions.
  • Describing optional compatible dependencies accurately.

Not allowed

  • Uploading leaked or paid assets without permission.
  • Requiring purchase before a hosted mod will function as advertised.
  • Linking only to an external paid download instead of uploading the file.
  • Concealing malicious or unexpected behavior.

Guideline 4.3

Downloading and Using Mods

All mods hosted on GTAPoliceMods are free to download for members. Files are created by their authors, and downloading a mod does not transfer ownership or permission to redistribute it.

Unless the author specifies additional permissions on the file page, you may install and use the mod for your own gameplay but may not reupload, sell, or present it as your work. If applicable, respect the author's stated license where consistent with GPM policy and applicable law. Ask the author if permission is unclear.

Mods are used at your own risk. Back up relevant game/server files before installing anything. Do not use mods in online services where they are prohibited, or use them to unfairly interfere with other players. GPM's Terms of Use explain the limits of our file-review process.

Allowed

  • Downloading a free mod to install and use personally.
  • Asking an author for permission to redistribute or adapt a release.

Not allowed

  • Reuploading someone else's mod without authorization.
  • Charging for access to a GPM-hosted mod.
  • Passing off a downloaded file as your own creation.
