Installation
----------------------------------------------------------
1. **Backup gameconfig.xml**:  
   Before installing WoV or GOLS, navigate to `mods/update/update.rpf/common/data` and **backup the existing gameconfig.xml** file. This is crucial for restoring the original configuration if needed.  

2. **Install World of Variety or Gangs of Los Santos**:  
   - For GOLS: Only install the **turfs part**, as the other components are optional.  
   - If using **5Real**, also install the provided compatibility patch after GOLS.

3. **Replace gameconfig.xml**:  
   After installing WoV or GOLS, replace the existing `gameconfig.xml` with a compatible version to ensure your game runs smoothly. Use one of the following links to download a working gameconfig:

   - https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/gta-5-gameconfig-300-cars

   **Important**: Skipping this step may result in your game failing to start.

4. **Test your game**:  
   Start your game to ensure everything is working. If the game doesn't start, verify the following:  
   - You backed up and replaced `gameconfig.xml` correctly.  
   - The compatibility patch (if applicable) was installed properly.  
   - LemonUI and ScriptHookV are up-to-date.

Troubleshooting
----------------------------------------------------------
- If your game doesn’t start after installing WoV or GOLS:  
  - Confirm that you’ve replaced the `gameconfig.xml` file as described above.  
  - Use one of the recommended gameconfig versions.
