A ScriptHookV plugin that enhances GTA V traffic immersion by increasing the variety of vehicle spawn colors, liveries, & decals.
Dynamic Traffic Colors is a native ScriptHookV mod that improves how traffic vehicles look in GTA V by giving them much better paint variety, stronger anti-repetition logic, and more interesting combinations overall.
Vanilla traffic leans too heavily on the same small group of colors, which can make the world feel repetitive over time. This mod fixes that by applying smarter color selection in the background while staying smooth and stable in actual gameplay.
The result is traffic that feels more natural, more diverse, and much more alive.
- Much wider spread of vehicle colors
- Less repetition across nearby traffic
- Strong anti-repeat logic for color families and exact combinations
- Better primary and secondary paint pairing
- Realistic mode for believable real-world traffic colors
- Non-realistic mode for more variety and less restraint
- Rainbow mode for maximum chaos and aggressive instant recoloring
- Optional livery variation
- Optional decal variation
- Optional wheel color variation
- Optional aircraft support
- Built natively for ScriptHookV
- Designed for smooth background operation
- INI-configurable
- In-game INI reload through cheat code
If you have ever noticed how often vanilla traffic reuses the same blacks, whites, grays, and repeated paint combinations, this mod is meant to solve exactly that.
Instead of letting traffic constantly fall back on the same familiar looks, Dynamic Traffic Colors gives the world a much healthier distribution of paints, combinations, and visual variety while still fitting the game.
