True Night Mode makes nights in GTA V feel more realistic and atmospheric by significantly reducing traffic and pedestrian density during nighttime hours.
The city becomes quieter and more immersive at night, while daytime gameplay remains completely untouched.
This mod is lightweight, script-only, and designed to be compatible with most singleplayer mods.
------------------------------------------
Changelog V1.2
Added:
.ini configuration file
Custom night start and end time
Custom traffic density values
Custom toggle key
Players can now configure the mod without rebuilding the DLL.
----------------------------------------------------
Changelog V1.1
Added: F8 toggle (ON/OFF in-game)
Tweaked: Night traffic reduced slightly for a calmer city vibe
Improved: Timecycle strength lowered to avoid dull/too dark colors
---------------------------------------------
Features
Reduced pedestrian density at night
Reduced vehicle traffic at night
Reduced scenario NPCs at night
Optional darker night atmosphere (timecycle)
Automatic activation based on in-game time
No menus, no keybinds required
----------------------------------------------------------
How it works
Activates automatically between 22:00 and 06:00
Daytime behavior remains 100% vanilla
Changes are applied dynamically and safely every frame
If you set the target value to 1.0, that corresponds to the standard GTA value, and at 0.0 you have a empty city.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The following features are planned for future updates of True Night Mode:
Multiple night presets (Standard / Dark / Ultra Dark)
Improved nighttime atmosphere based on weather conditions
vehicle frequency at night
Performance optimizations and improved compatibility with other mods
NPCs using flashlight
---------------------------------------
Installation
1.Copy TrueNightMode.dll and TrueNightMode.ini to: GTA V/scripts
2.Start the game
------------------------------------------------------

colors become to dull like the brightness sink by a lot
@slaxer The mod is designed to create a darker, more realistic night atmosphere. I'm currently considering adding a lighter preset or adjustable brightness in a future update
@SH2
I really love this mod. I used to spend my time in story mode saving up money, buying modded cars, and hanging out in crowded places taking pictures, so I do miss that part a bit. But now, when I’m doing contract assassinations, I can fully immerse myself in the game like never before.
I usually take on contracts late at night, and everything feels so clean and smooth that it genuinely makes me happy.
I guess it’s time to go enjoy some more kills. Thank you for giving me such unforgettable memories of this experience.
@kimdusics So, what are you using for the contract assasinations though?
@thalilmythos
I'm using JavelinV.
@kimdusics Just asking to fuck around, I made it and all the contracts, just wanted to bask into my success, enjoy it haha
@thalilmythos good ! Let's get it!
@kimdusics Wow, thank you so much for this comment. Reading this honestly made my day. TrueNightMode was made exactly for that kind of immersion, so it really means a lot to hear that it enhances your experience during late-night contracts.
Enjoy your time in Los Santos - and stay safe out there😀
Dude this mod is awesome! Really gives a nice boost of immersion when it turns night time in game. Which is perfect for my LSPDFR. Have you considered adding a .ini so we can configure when the start happens and when it ends? That would be awesome!
@AlexDoesGFX Yes, an .ini file to customize is always appreciated!
