The Wednesday series is one of Netflix's most recent hit shows, and fans worldwide adore the characters. While Wednesday Addams stole the spotlight, the hand, officially known as "Thing," also plays a vital role in the story. Thing assists the character in her quest and is a close family member.
To lend a helping hand to GTA 5 players, Modder She Store created the "Hand from the Series "Wednesday" patch, which adds Thing as a wearable element for the in-game character.

Captain Price is one of the most significant characters from the Call of Duty video game series. Fans can rejoice as modder MAESTRE has brought the legendary character to GTA 5. The developer has also included the iconic hat with the character.
Players can now participate in combat missions as Captain Price, improving gameplay and giving the missions a new feel.
You can combine it with other CoD mods for Grand Theft Auto 5 to get a full Call of Duty experience with Rockstar Games' settings.
2) Cristiano Ronaldo
Although GTA 5 is primarily a crime-based game with only a few sports options, football fans can also enjoy it as Cristiano Ronaldo. Modder NovaX 3D Modeling created the Ronaldo patch that adds the real-life football legend to the game.
However, it is merely a skin mod that replaces one of the game's existing protagonists with Christiano Ronaldo. Players cannot play football or perform other football-related maneuvers known to the athlete.
You can only engage in grand theft auto, shooting, fighting, and other activities available to the protagonists.
1) Lionel Messi (Civ/Player)
Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer of all time, and GTA 5 players can play the game as the G.O.A.T. himself with the mod. Developer MAESTRE enhanced the mod to do more than just the activities in the base game.
While Messi can do all the in-game activities, players can dress him up in Barcelona FC's jersey, work out in gyms, and play football with other modded characters.
