Due to the rising concern of "Grand Theft Auto V" PC edition players regarding the use of single-player mods, Rockstar Games made an official statement and clarified that they would not be banning players who had been using single-player mods.
Rockstar Games even commended players for their creativity in making several mods for the "Grand Theft Auto" series in the past. In the official statement, Rockstar Games said that "we have always appreciated the creative efforts of the PC modding community and we still fondly remember the awesome zombie invasion mod and original 'GTA' map mod for 'GTA IV' PC among many other classics." They also added in their statement that they were not banning players in the game for using single-player mods, based on a report from Gamespot.
Meanwhile, Rockstar Games also cleared allegations that the current patch of "Grand Theft Auto V," which broke support for Script Hook V was "a deliberate attempt to curb the use of mods, which are not officially supported." Script Hook V was the tool used by "GTA V" players in creating various mods.
Rockstar Games clarified that they had not planned the latest "GTA V" patch to gravely affect the tool used by players to create mods. The game developer explained that "recent updates to 'GTA V' PC had an unintended effect of making unplayable certain single player modifications. This was not intentional, no one has been banned for using single player modifications, and you should not worry about being banned or being relegated to the cheater pool just for using single player PC mods," based on a report from PC Gamer.
On the other hand, Rockstar Games said that their primary focus was to protect "Grand Theft Auto Online" players from other players who planned to use mods to get an upper hand on the game, based on a report from Ubergizmo.
Other than that, the game developer assured "Grand Theft Auto" players that they could still create mods for the series and should not worry of being banned from the game.
