Examining kiddions mod menu: An In-Depth Look at a Popular mod menu gta 5

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V), produced by Rockstar Games, has captured millions of users’ hearts since it was released in 2013 and later transitioned into a ever-changing online multiplayer environment through Grand Theft Auto Online. While riveting users with the game design, users have dabbled with cheating tools to avoid the rigid progression systems, repeated missions, and grindy economy. The introduction of Kiddion’s Modest External Menu (Kiddion) is a free, external cheat tool that has become a staple in the GTA V modding community. Modding communities can be found on places such as the UnknownCheats.me forums.

This mod contains a simple external menu mod to adjust gameplay, but it does not inject code directly into the game for the user. Thereby, it is popular because it is considered much safer than the use of internal mod tools. The objectives of this article are to birth of Kiddion as a mod, the various features, how to operate or use the mod tool, the risks of using it, and the community attention it has captured based on information at their convivial forum thread.

The Beginning of kiddions mod menu

kiddions mod menu was created by the user  Kiddion, and it began as a personal research project. Originally just a tool to look at GTA V’s memory structure and game scripting processes, it became a well-developed reliable, community mod for everyone when it bolted out of the page and server excessively on the UnknownCheats.me forums. The Providing of even more lacks forum thread “Kiddion’s Modest External Menu [Thread 5]” was created on 4/23/2022 as a continuation to the existing threads, which has spiked thousands of more links to be submitted to discussions regarding the mod. This increasing of thread, which is considered modding’s viable, demonstrates the success of the mod, which was down due to only a few people liking it, attracted more users who only wanted it for its printable, and were drawn with the mod due until it.

The philosophy of the mod is one of enhancement, instead of exploitation. Instead of providing numerous overpowering options like many cheat menus, Kiddion's provides “modest” alterations that give the feel of modding the GTA V world. The mod is entirely external, so it uses basic Read and Write memory injectors instead of using Rockstar’s basic functionality, meaning there is less potential for immediate detection. Updates are sporadically released and targeted; the recent mention update of v1.0.1 dated August 13th, 2024, was confirmed to properly run with GTA V build 1.0.3274.0, and would provide existing bug fixes and new features such as NPC Godmode.

The development is on-going; Kiddion periodically patches their menu, matching up Rockstar’s patched updates in the game as required. Earlier example patches v0.9.8 dated February 2023 was addressing allowable functionality. However, with certain game updates like the major build 2845 update in March 2023 forced all online services offline for a short, bug fixed period towards the game returning to service. Kiddion’s mod is free and Bitcoin donations are optional for upkeep; representing Kiddion is aiming at total accessibility and not profit maximizing.  

Core Features: Enhancing GTA V Gameplay

Kiddion’s Menu core feature is the interface that is a keybinding held menu for ease of access providing the player access to some element of the game. The Menu options are toggled using the F5 key, navigate the options using arrow and options engaged with Numpad 5. Absurdly easy to navigate especially if the user has a TKL (tenkeyless) keyboard, meaning the user can actively configure alternative bindings .  

Player and Protection Options Player features include toggling godmode to NPCs, auto parachute on aircraft and scuba gear on boats—which is arguably useful to avoid dying in missions or otherwise. The protections are pretty great. With options like "Kick to Single Player" and "Force Kick", you can avoid griefers or apologize for accidentally inviting someone to your session who does not belong there. These options have their merit in chaotic lobbies in GTA Online where people can sometimes try to crash you or kick you. The new ways of kicking sometimes bypass these protections, which led users to report in the menu to ensure compatible protection for their new kick methods in future menu updates.

Teleportation and Unlocks Teleportation has been taken to the next level with a new detailed list of blip locations, including saves for custom locations that you frequently used to navigate to. Instead of wasting time grinding for collectibles last-minute or hopping from one side of Los Santos to another, users can load the teleport locations to save time. The unlocks section has been expanded with new vehicles, weapons, and achievements that you can access while playing the game. The version v1.0.1 update added new unlocks for the significant new updates of the game.  

Vehicle Spawning and Customization Some user favorites are showcased with the external vehicle spawner. The vehicle spawns like anonymous and visible to other players if they are nearby or personal vehicles, which will take up an empty garage slot, to Pegasus requests that maybe fail to spawn, but the game will refund you. You can then customize the vehicle with godmode, gravity, and handling changes per vehicle, even per type of vehicle, to have fun driving experimentation ahead of others in the community. You will pay for it, but you might learn a story about others and perspectives. So each warning etc. but spawning near players may crash or draw unwanted attention, and also being aware of things like “Forge Model” at Los Santos Customs can trigger Sentinel XS events with multiple uses in a row.  

Online Services and Economy Modifications For you all online GTA Players, the menu provides the online services like missions interface that require CEO or MC boss to put in to play. There are some innovative ways to make money right now. Upgrading NPC money pickups, advertising mission rewards on a daily basis, removing the cooldowns on bunker and MC missions, are some examples. There is also a widely popular (and a bit risky) method called the Blow Up II mission—you set your minimum payout, blow the cars up with Numpad 5, wait, and restart—you can make about 100k a minute if you conduct this correctly. A few people say they have a “success rate” of clearing sessions or offline→online→offline, but this usually just to know this is AV blocking or the game had a recent update, and several options are grayed out. Other economy modifiers include dropping money on players (in the vicinity or spectating) and manipulating the slot machines or the lucky wheel at the casino, but both of these are high risk, exposing yourself to others, and getting detected.  

Visual and weapon modifiers Weapon modifiers provide infinite ammo or infinite clips, but with caveats: max ammo, will ruin MKII upgrades; unlimited clips script, will ruin heists, such as Prison Break. Visual toggles; such as thermal vision (longer bunker research) are awesome and add immersion, but can crash the online session if they are careless. Off-radar only lasts about a minute after heists and ghost organizations need to be utilized instead.

  Lua Scripting: Expanding Functional Utility The biggest headway is Lua integrated scripting allowing users to access Game Globals, Stats, Peds, Vehicles, etc. v1.0.1 now has new improvements; might include memu.getselectedplayerindex, for players to target, Player.getplayerid, to get player ids. The community gets together to create a long megathread for every type of scripts—ultimate unlockers, protection scripts, submenus; such as Storm’s Open Menu. This service allows the user to create your very own custom utility functions to execute certain behaviors; such as, money loops or protection loops, and use the Menu as programmable utility, and direct you to other dedicated threads for programming examples.  

Installation, Requirements, and Troubleshooting Basic use is straightforward but comes with caveats. Do not download from anywhere other than UnknownCheats.me to avoid scams, whether it be fake "premium" hired individuals or fake YouTube scam videos selling access. Kiddion even made a specific disclaimer that those other websites are fake, scams, discord impostors, and github impostors. Requirements are a GTA V instance set to full screen and NumLock toggled on, and the executable needs to be run as admin (particularly, after Steam updates). You should exclude any AV: all Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware procedures (even Windows Defender) are going to flag the mod due to it altering memory location, but moderators have said its safe. With Windows 11 make sure to also disable Core isolation. Currently, Virtual Machines are not supported, and make sure to keep GTA V in windowed or borderless mode so the menu can be displayed when you Alt+Tab.  

Common implementation troubleshooting:

Numpad unresponsiveness: Remember to keep Numlock on. Manually close menu endlessly: Hit Numpad 0 rapidly and then open menu again. Certain option does not work: Add AV exclusions for gta5.exe and the mod; retry / restart after update. Spawn issues: Place in proximity for anonymous vehicles or pick designated garage for spawned personal vehicle. Grayed-out spawn option (bunker sells): Clear session, toggle between offline / online mode, or interfere with the Grayed out spawning. If you are using scripts, place anywhere (desktop is valid), but in order to comply with lua instruction comply specify location using only community accessible items for lua.  

Risks, Warnings, and Ethical Implications While it is impressive, the Kiddion menu has danger. Rockstar’s anti-cheat gets smarter, because some external mods (like this) end up getting detected only during savestates or threads, report a player can lead to salebans. Notifying function such as godmode or teleports get flagged rounds during public session, and being subject to scrutiny.  

Community Feedback and Discussions

The thread is filled with user appreciation calling Kiddion a "hero" for free tools that work consistently. The user feedback ranged from praise of the mod’s stability to frustrated lamentations about slow release updates; some users begged for quick fixes for compatibility with the game post-2845 release, which was labeled “still pending”. Users were concerned about spam, even suggesting to delete low-effort posts and put in a reputation system. Many noted delays; specific ones mentioned inconsistencies with bunker money glitches working after cleared sessions, AV “waking up” relatively after updates, and whether scripts would be directed to mega or large threads. Users posted ban stories, alongside others for anecdotes; one ceremony about a nightclub ban was noted as regret. The community clearly enjoyed discussing the mod’s externality, and Kiddion’s quickly responsive, yet oddly-limited, ability to manage the thread amidst consistent forum limitations.  

Conclusion: A Modest but Powerful Tool

Kiddion’s Modest External Menu serves as an inspiration to grassroots file contributions closely associated with open-source modding for GTA V, offering features that blend a user-friendly approach to minor tweaks and advanced scripted modifications without the invasive development of injectors. The external nature of the mod with community-based extensions has helped contributed toward its ongoing popularity, even after the subsequent announcement as they fell behind the video-game patch. It offers liberation for players who are very tired of putting forth the obligatory and repetitious XB of GTA Online to the extremes of the curb – inadvertently or by design. With consequences. As Rockstar continues to update, the continuance of the mod will depend on Kiddion updates, and the watchfulness of users who are keen on finding fun, research, or boundary pushing. It represents the best ethos - a novice, but mighty tool. In retrospect, please be careful when downloading - and please bear in-mind that with Los Santos, you cheat, you get caught.
