High Life Update
The High Life Update is an expansion for GTA Online released Tuesday, May 13th, 2014. High Life offers additional?Weapons, Vehicles, Property options, and a new Mental State feature which significantly alters open-world game play.
The update also introduces some interesting tweaks, including the incorporation of a few GTA Online features in GTA 5 Story Mode.

Mental State
Mental State is an expression of a character's mental condition based on recent player behavior and play history. Mental State comes in several tiers, and is indicated on the map by colors between white (peaceful) through pink and into red (Psycho).
Violent activity increases the aggressive nature of Mental State. Property damage increases it in small increments, while PvP activity quickly elevates Mental State aggression.
Killing players with an aggravated Mental State grants bonus RP. Icing Psychos has no negative effect on your Mental State, so you're free to clear them out and reap experience.
This distinction is creating a sort of cops-and-robbers feel to GTA Online open world, with the usual chaos replaced by defacto factions dynamically forming in response to player activity.
While Rockstar already partitions especially offensive players to segmented servers, Mental State provides an in-game means for players to instantly identify just what play style characters around them tend to engage in. No longer will the approach of a stranger be an exercise in fight-or-flight reflexes. Rockstar also promises Mental state will be used to help inform session matchmaking, placing you with players who share your aggression level.
Property Changes
Players are allowed to own multiple Properties across the span of Los Santos. Several new properties are available, including new luxury apartment complexes. This includes the new ability to own multiple Garages, allowing players to hoard more Vehicles. Each player is limited to a maximum of two Properties.?
