By default, GTA V is designed to handle only the assets that Rockstar Games shipped with the official version. When you install an "Add-On" mod (such as a new Ferrari or a custom skyscraper), the game treats it as an entirely new entity that requires its own chunk of memory.
If the world starts disappearing or roads turn invisible after installing add-ons, your system is running out of streaming memory. Open your new gameconfig.xml file with a text editor, find the streaming memory allocations, or switch to a version of the gameconfig labeled to free up system memory for your custom vehicles.

Go to the following directory path: mods > update > update.rpf > common > data Scroll down until you locate the stock gameconfig.xml file. Step 3: Choose Your Traffic Multiplier Open your new gameconfig
Always check your game version. Rockstar updates GTA V frequently (especially for Online content), and using an outdated gameconfig can cause the very crashes you're trying to fix.
