Directly: You can run mods in Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced on PC for single-player, but there is no official, fully-supported modding workflow for GTA Online. Rockstar’s stance on PC single-player mods generally allows non-commercial, offline mods, but explicitly excludes use in multiplayer or online services. This means you should not mod GTA Online or use tools that impact online gameplay, or you risk penalties. Rockstar support on PC single-player mods.
For the Enhanced edition specifically, legacy mods from the old version aren’t automatically compatible. Rockstar and its community ecosystem are working toward better compatibility: a mod-conversion tool from a Rockstar-owned team (to help port mods to the Enhanced edition) has been announced, signaling official efforts to bridge the gap between legacy mods and the Enhanced build. In the meantime, expect mod compatibility to be evolving and proceed with caution. GameSpot coverage of the mod-conversion tool.
For context on what the Enhanced upgrade brings (and where modding fits in), note that GTA V Enhanced adds features like ray tracing and faster loading on next-gen platforms, with PC support expanding over time. This upgrade framework is part of a broader push to keep GTA V current across platforms, while modding remains primarily a PC/SP activity until official tooling fully lands.
