Alright, buckle up, because the feature we’ve all been waiting for is finally back in Grand Theft Auto Online: custom number plates! Remember those days of cruising around with a truly unique identifier? Well, dust off your creative caps, because we’re diving straight into how you can get your very own personalised plate.
Getting Started: The License Plate Creator
First things first, you need to head over to the License Plate Creator website. It’s your gateway to customisation, so make sure you’re ready to unleash your inner designer.
Once you’re there, you’ll need to sign in to your Rockstar Social Club account. This is essential, as it links your creation directly to your in-game profile. After logging in, you’ll be greeted by the main screen. Now, I may have had a questionable plate design from my younger days lurking there, but let’s not dwell on past mistakes. We’ve all been there, right? The important thing is that we’re moving forward!
Crafting Your Masterpiece
Click on “Start New Order” to begin the design process. You’ll see a selection of different number plate styles available. I’m sure they’ll add more in the future, but for now, the options are a solid starting point.
Next up is the fun part: entering your desired text. I went with “TGG,” which is just a small nod to this blog. Get creative! Think about what you want your plate to represent.
After the text, you need to select the vehicle you want to initially equip the plate on. I chose the Pegassi Zaruso. Once you’ve made your selection, you’ll receive a confirmation message stating that your order has been received. You’ll also get a prompt in game as well.
LS Customs Awaits
Time to head to LS Customs! The game will notify you to visit as soon as you log in. It’s time to bring your virtual ride to life.
Upon arriving at LS Customs in your chosen vehicle, you’ll see an option to “Process App Order.” Don’t worry, it’s free! Now, here’s where things got a little confusing initially. The number plate that was automatically applied was a default design, not the style I had selected on the website.
Customising Your Style
But fear not! After applying the custom number plate (even if it’s the “wrong” design), simply navigate to the “Plates” section within LS Customs. Here, you can freely choose from all the available designs. So, it doesn’t matter which style you initially select on the website, you can always change it later within the game. Phew! What a relief.
Important Considerations and Tips
Be Creative, But Appropriate: While it’s tempting to go wild with your custom plate, remember that there are probably some filters in place. Keep it fun and original, but avoid anything that could be considered offensive.
Plan Ahead: Before you start the process, think about what text you want on your plate and which vehicle you want to showcase it on. This will save you time and ensure you’re happy with the final result.
Experiment with Designs: Don’t be afraid to try out different plate styles within LS Customs. You might be surprised at how a particular design complements your vehicle.
Take Advantage of Future Updates: As the game evolves, there’s a good chance that will continue to add new number plate styles. Keep an eye out for these updates to further personalise your ride.
Adding Visual Flair (Hypothetically, of Course)
Imagine the possibilities of visual enhancements for a blog like this! We could include:
Screenshots: A series of screenshots showcasing the License Plate Creator website, the various plate styles, and the process of applying the plate at LS Customs.
Vehicle Spotlights: Images of different vehicles with custom number plates, highlighting how the plate design complements the overall look.
Custom Plate Gallery: A collection of the most creative and unique custom number plates created by players.
Step-by-Step GIFs: Short, animated GIFs demonstrating each step of the process, from signing in to applying the plate at LS Customs.
Video Integration: Embedding short video clips of the process, showing the vehicle arriving at LS Customs and the number plate being applied.
Conclusion: Personalise Your Ride and Hit the Streets
The return of custom number plates to Grand Theft Auto Online is a welcome addition for anyone looking to add a personal touch to their virtual vehicles. The process is straightforward, and the ability to change the plate design within LS Customs provides ample customisation options. So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the License Plate Creator, design your dream plate, and hit the streets in style!
I personally think that the custom number plate feature is one of the best ways to make your cars feel truly yours in the game. Seeing other players with unique and creative plates adds another layer of personality to the online world.
