Surrender and Serve (Beta) 0.9 (The big one)
4,145
80
A full overhaul of the original Surrender V mod, rebuilt from the ground up for a deeper, more authentic busted experience that mirrors vanilla GTA V while adding new custody, sentencing, and escape features.
Why Remade
The former codebase was riddled with issues that made updates a nightmare. This clean rewrite is faster, easier to maintain, and feature-rich enough to stand on its own.
Key Features
Custom Busted System: A rebuilt surrender and custody flow designed to feel closer to vanilla GTA V.
Surrender AI (NEW): Officers now respond more naturally when you surrender, moving in and holding their positions around the player.
Jail Escape (NEW): Attempt to escape the MRPD holding cell with a lockpick minigame.
Prison Escape (NEW): Break out during prison transport with help from a getaway crew.
Community Service: Serve lighter sentences by cleaning trash in different locations.
Trial System (REWORKED): Reworked trial outcomes based on the severity of your crimes.
Police Transport (NEW): Officers can transport the player to booking after surrender.
Settings / Debug Menu (NEW): Toggle and test different features in-game.
Controller Support: Play with configurable keyboard and controller inputs.
Better Chases Plus Compatibility: Built with compatibility support for Better Chases Plus users.
Installation Requirements
- ScriptHookV
- ScriptHookVDotNet 3.6.0+
- LemonUI
Enable All Interiors or MP maps enabled
Disable Busted optional, but highly recommended
Installation
- Drop the dll, pdb, and ini files into the scripts folder.
Controls
- Surrender is enabled once you reach at least 1 star.
- Press X on keyboard or Left D-Pad + A/X on controller to put your hands up.
- Hold the surrender key/buttons while on foot to force surrender.
- Open the settings menu with F11 on keyboard or Left D-Pad + Reload on controller by default.

Hey everyone,
Sorry for the lack of updates and responses lately, I’ve been super busy working behind the scenes. I’ve been putting a lot of time into a pretty big project that I’ll be sharing on my Patreon soon.
That said, I’m aiming to release a quick hotfix in the next few days to address a couple of bugs.
Thanks for your patience!

Amazing mod! I was only having an issue when going to jail the character would fall through the map, but by enabling MP Maps Enable in Simple Trainer, I was able to fix it. Would it be possible to make this mod compatible with Evolved Police Response?

Great mod, but with the mod enable all interiors I can open the Jail door in the PD. I hope you can fix that soon

Check out my next project by joining my Patreon (for free) which is set to release in just a couple of weeks:
I’ll also be sharing updates on the upcoming jail/prison escape update there, so stay tuned!

Amazing mod! Can you please delete the "press X to surrender" notification when the police called? It's killing immersion with players with no hud, or can you make it able to disable in the INI? I would really appreciate it! other than that, amazing job!

@Hotcake Mods If there is anything I can do with my Better Chases+ mod to make it more compatible with your mod let me know! I am making minor fixes to my mods now that there is a version of SHVDN that will work with GTAV Enhanced.

Hey guys,
I’m sorry for the lack of updates on this mod. Over the past few months, I’ve been job hunting, and it’s honestly made me feel pretty demotivated to work on anything else; even coding. If you’re in a similar situation, you probably know how tough it is to find any kind of employment right now.
I’m not trying to get personal for attention or anything, but I just want to make it clear that I haven’t given up on this project. I’ve just been busy with other things. I’ll be getting back to work on the next update soon, and hopefully, I’ll have it finished by the end of this month at the very least.
Lastly, if you’ve encountered any bugs, compatibility issues, or other problems with the mod, please leave a comment so I can address them. This will probably be the last update for a while until I’m fully back on board with it again.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I finally had the time to come back and work on this mod, so here's a quick briefing on what to expect:
0.9 is several updates beforehand combined into one. 0.7 was going to introduce jail/prison escape, 0.75 was going to be the halfway update and focused on balancing/improving different aspects (such as the trial system) and adding a settings/debug menu, 0.8 was focused on overhauling/adding to the surrender mechanics (most of which made it into this update, except for companion surrendering), and 0.9 was supposed to be the polishing update. However, since I haven't updated this mod in almost a year, I decided to cram all of these additions in one update (which is why its titled "the big one").
So whats next? At this point, I don’t have any major content additions planned. I feel the mod is in a solid enough state that it doesn’t need huge content updates. I’ve tossed around the idea of a full prison simulator, but that would be so large it could easily become its own standalone mod. So here's whats planned going forward:
-0.95 will be a large bug‑fixing and polishing pass. I know most, if not, all mods will have issues, but I want to track down and fix as many long‑standing issues as possible.
-Lastly, the big 1.0 update. This will likely be the last major update for the mod. It will introduce bounty hunters who can track you down (similar to how it works in Red Dead Redemption). I’m still in the planning phase and haven’t started implementation yet, but I already have some ideas for how to integrate it.
Anyways that’s about it. I don’t really plan on making new mods after this because I haven’t even had the time to keep this one updated consistently. I had big ambitions, but sometimes ideas that sound great on paper are hard to execute. That said, I’m aiming to release the hotfix update within the next couple of weeks, and the 1.0 update around June.
P.S. If you encounter any bugs/problems in this update, let me know so I can address them.
