Update.rpf
That won't work. It's just a shortcut with a "-verify" command. For some reason the retail version doesn't verify update.rpf at all. The whole update.rpf could be gone from the folder and that thing wouldn't realize it, it'd only assume that the game "is ready to play" and proceed to crash.
update.rpf
The mods folder is located inside your Grand Theft Auto V folder. The archives inside need to have the exact same path as the original file. If you want to copy \update\update.rpf into the mods folder, it then needs to have the following path: \mods\update\update.rpf.
Installation: Car files to \update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday3ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\, Tune files (zentorno_mods.rpf) to \x64w.rpf\dlcpacks\mpbusiness2\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\mpbusiness2\vehiclemods vehicles.meta: Replace the file at \update\update.rpf\dlc_patch\mpbusiness2\common\data\levels\gta5\.

The solution, in big part of cases, its update the files update.rpf and update2.rpf copying them to mods\update folder, but first it's interesting backup our dlclist.xml and gameconfig.xml from mods\update\update.rpf\common\data to be able to add them back later and keep our added peds, props, vehicles, etc.
Sometimes it's necessary a new gameconfig.xml for the new game patch, in this link you may find the latest one, they commonly release a new version for each game update. Before adding the new gameconfig.xml file to your game, you need to edit a value to be able to have few added peds with working cape, you need to use a text editor and find the ClothStore variable and set the value from 60 to 600, then you can save and import in your "mods\update\update.rpf\common\data", you can see more about this process in this guide (step 2 and step 4).
Earlier we copied the update.rpf from \Grand Theft Auto V\update\ to Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update. Now we can move on and edit files inside. We need to edit two files: dlclist.xml & extratitleupdatedata.meta. They are located in Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data. Edit the file using OpenIV and add the following line to the Paths section:
Figured out where I was going wrong. Seemed to be a user error on my part. I assumed the folder structure inside this modloader's Mods folder was the same as the OpenIV Mods folder. However with this modloader all you do is put the dlc folder and the update.rpf for it directly under Mods. 041b061a72
