How can you change your character in GTA Online, even if you have already created it and have already completed the character setup? We were faced with this question some time ago and there is actually a trick to be able to change your character in GTA Online, at least in terms of appearance and all the little setting options. Everyone knows it, you can’t wait to get into the world of the online mode in GTA 5 and you quickly put together a character without paying much attention to its appearance and just want to get into the game as quickly as possible. Sooner or later you get to the point where you no longer like the way your character looks and you want to change it. Of course, you can also buy new clothes, hats or other accessories in the store, but the basic appearance can no longer be changed. Finally, at the beginning there was also a message asking whether you were sure that you had finished creating your character. Even if this isn’t the end of the world, it’s a shame that nothing can be changed afterwards. But after searching for some time in English forums, there is actually a trick to be able to change the GTA Online character later and you can find out how it works in a short guide under the following heading.
This is how you can change your character later in GTA 5 Online
Trick: Change GTA Online character appearance later
Let’s get straight to the important part of this guide and that is the following instructions for subsequently bringing your character back into the editor and being able to adjust the appearance. As is well known, the appearance must then be adjusted via the grandparents, as was the case when it was first created, and cannot be changed directly as in other games, at least this is not yet possible to this day. In the following instructions we have described all the necessary steps in detail. If you still have any questions, please write us your questions or additions in the comments section below this article.
- In the first step you have to create a second character, it doesn’t matter what appearance it has and don’t worry, your real character will not be deleted or overwritten.
- Once you have created the character, sooner or later you will be asked whether you want to skip the tutorial at the start of the game. Here you then select the menu item “Yes”.
- Now comes the exciting point and now you will be asked by the wizard during GTA 5 Online character creation whether this should be the final look. TO NOT CONFIRM.
- Now pull the internet cable out of your PlayStation 4 or PS3 or Xbox One or 360 or unplug the power from your router.
- Now, after waiting for a while, you should end up back in the single player of GTA 5.
- Now reconnect your PS4 or Xbox One with the network cable or turn the router back on and reconnect to the PSN or Xbox Live.
- If you now switch back to GTA Online from single player mode and select the main character, it should load in the editor and you can change your character and customize the appearance.
So far the trick has worked quite well for being able to change your character in GTA Online later. Since this is probably a bug, we cannot say how long this will continue to work. For us it works without any problems on the PS4 and there are also some reports from players with an Xbox One who were able to change the character’s appearance afterwards.
