Project Props 3 Community is the official release, based on the community branch by Zeneric which itself was based on Project Props V2.2 Fixes — now with fixed object.dat merging with modloader. (no need of Fastloader)
With version 3, the mod is bigger, more beautiful, and more stable than ever before.

If you’re just starting your journey with modding:
- Essentials Pack
Without it: you won’t be able to run any script mod.
Mandatory:
- Open Limit Adjuster v1.5.9 – use with default settings
Without it: Don’t even try.
Highly Recommended:
- fastman92 limit adjuster – improves stability. Requires a small configuration (see below). (Remember to always install it in the main directory of the game!) Without it: For some users you can start a new game, but loading saved games will fail. Many props will be spawned twice, game will be unstable.
Make sure to use these settings in your fastman92limitAdjuster_GTASA.ini:
Object info entries = 200Apply ID limit patch = 1FILE_TYPE_DFF = 50000FILE_TYPE_TXD = 60000Count of killable model IDs = 42000;For reporting purposes, also set:
Register global exception handler = 0This ensures you get proper crash messages from the Essentials Pack.

Proper Fixes comes with two different procobj.dat files, which is confusing – and they do completely opposite things. Since Project Props heavily depends on this system, here’s a clear explanation:
Files in Proper Fixes
-
Proper_Fixes\(optional - increase vegetation distance)\Increased Vegetation Distance\data\procobj.dat
Purpose: disables all procedural plants/rocks, because Increased Vegetation Distance (IVD) places them via.iplinstead.
IPL has greater draw distance, so vegetation doesn’t "pop in". This file is basically empty. -
Proper_Fixes\Proper Fixes\Misc\data\procobj.dat
Purpose: fixes Rockstar’s original vegetation placements to avoid floating objects.
But with IVD installed, this is not necessary, since IVD replaces vegetation anyway.
Our procobj.dat
Project-Props\modloader\ProjectProps 3.1 Community\Custom Props\Procedural Objects\procobj.dat
Does what Rockstar never finished: a proper procedural system that spawns small details (garbage, weeds, cigarette butts, shells, etc.) automatically across surfaces, avoiding manual placements.
Recommended Setup (Maximum Compatibility: Project Props + IVD + Proper Fixes)
-
Copy
procobj.datfrom Increased Vegetation Distance into the original game data folder (replace the vanilla one).
→ All vegetation will then be handled by IVD.iplfiles = no duplication. -
Delete
Proper_Fixes\Proper Fixes\Misc\data\procobj.dat.
→ Not needed anymore, IVD already manages vegetation.This way you get:
- Proper Fixes bug corrections
- Increased Vegetation Distance with high draw distance
- Project Props procedural small details
If you prefere Urbanize Mailboxes, Hydrants and Parking Meters - Use default settings If you want the best experience disable Urbanize Mailboxes, Hydrants and Parking Meters in the modloader/Urbanize/Map/Loader.txt Delete or #comment those lines:

All merging was performed using a custom script. The script performs smart collision detection, thanks to that we were able to merge many mapping projects and assure Urbanize compatibility. If you notice any object collision, visual glitch, or bug:
- Please report it!
- Include a screenshot and exact XYZ coordinates
- We patch bugs quickly and consistently !
