Description
Save or Sell your Vehicles crash fix for GTA 5 and GTA V.
ScriptHookVDotNet compatibility patch for current game builds. Fixes startup crashes, corrupt SavedVehicles.xml files, unsafe saves and vehicle-save failures.
Save or Sell your Vehicles by Hunk is one of the best vehicle ownership mods ever made, abandoned since 2022. It has a design flaw that eventually kills it for almost everyone: the mod can corrupt its own save file, and once that happens it silently never loads again. Users also report the game crashing the moment they try to save a car. That is why “just use version 4.2 or lower” floats around the comments as a workaround.
This is a small patch DLL. The original mod stays untouched and is not redistributed here. You need the original installed.
WHAT IS FIXED
- The death loop. The mod parses scripts/SaveVehicles/SavedVehicles.xml before it even starts. One corrupt or truncated file and the script fails to load, silently, every session. The fix catches that, preserves your corrupt file as SavedVehicles.corrupt-TIMESTAMP.xml, restores the last good backup if one parses, or writes a fresh save, and then starts the mod anyway, same session. Nothing of yours is ever deleted.
- The corruption itself. Saving now writes to a temp file first, verifies it, and keeps your previous good save as SavedVehicles.xml.bak before swapping. A crash mid-save can no longer destroy your garage, and there is always a backup.
- Crashing when saving a car. The save format builds its structure from the player model and vehicle names, and custom peds or addon vehicles can produce names the format cannot hold. That used to kill the whole script. It is now contained and logged, and the mod keeps running.
- Black screen traps. If an error is caught while the screen is faded out, the screen is faded back in.
- Startup work is held until the game is fully loaded.
34 methods are guarded in total. Verified against the exact startup crash in an offline test harness before release, including the automatic repair and the atomic save with backup.
REQUIREMENTS
- Save or Sell your Vehicles by Hunk, with its own requirements installed (NativeUI, iFruitAddon2, NAudio, ScriptHookVDotNet 3)
- ScriptHookV
- ScriptHookVDotNet
- .NET Framework 4.8
INSTALLATION
1. Install the original Save or Sell your Vehicles as normal.
2. Copy 0_VehicleSaveSH3_CrashFix.dll and 0Harmony.dll into your scripts folder.
3. Do not rename the DLL. The 0_ prefix makes it load before the original mod, which is required to catch the startup crash.
4. Right click both new DLLs, Properties, tick Unblock if shown, then fully restart the game.
5. Look for the green “Save or Sell Crash Fix loaded” notification after the game loads in.
