How did you replace the Ford logo to a real one instead of DASH?

The model actually doesn't have an emblem on the trunk lid. I just added one on the skin I made, its not part of the model itself.  There is a way to replace the emblems on the front and the steering wheel by editing some of the texture files in .ytd files. I didn't include those because I didnt want to mess with his model.

Oh thats right, I forgot that it didn't have one on the trunk! Thanks!

Anybody else having issues installing this template? I have the model installed to the POLICE slot, and it spawns fine with the default liveries. When I install the LAPD ones from this download, every time I try to spawn the car via simple trainer or the rage console it just pauses for a few seconds and then nothing happens.

Awesome! Thank you very much for the SAHP liveries. I really appreciate it.

What do I do with the carvariation file when I want to use "police" and "sheriff"?

Hmm thats odd.  Does this only happen with the LSPD files and not the SAHP ones. Ill check it out.

If you read the readme in Bxbugs123 download you need to edit the carvariations file in mpchristmas2

I haven't tried the SAHP skins. I typically replace each file individually rather than a bulk import; not sure if that's related. In this case the base model has 8 liveries but there were only 6 included in your skin pack, so I reused 1 and 2 for slots 7 and 8. I found that when I resized the PNGs down to 2048x2048 and imported then it worked. Perhaps there's some maximum file size for YTDs or something which it was exceeding?

I believe there is a file size limit, I'm not sure what it is though. I have had issues with any skin when i use the same skin twice in the same .ytd. I deleted two of the livery spots, I only have 6 total.

I tried using the bulk import rather than importing individually, and I deleted two of the liveries. Seems to work fine now. Not sure what exactly the issue was, but it's working now. Cheers!

@Krame86 Awesome job. These BCSO liveries are absolutely amazing.

@Krame86 Can you do some sheriff skins?

Yes I did mean los santos sheriff.

I don't like bxbugs's skins because I would like for the skins to be stock as possible (like the ones that came with the game). It would be awesome of you if you could do some. Thanks :)

EDIT: just noticed that you already done some. Thank you very much! :D

Also if it's not to much to ask could you do some skins to this model of the CVPI? 

If you could it would be very appreciated.

Quick question... Any chance you might make the blue "Paleto Bay" skin just for Blaine County? What I mean is, would you mind changing the "Paleto Bay" on the skin to "Blaine County"? I love the skin, but can't bring myself to patrol the rest of Blaine County with it lol. Either way, great skins overall man, I really look forward to seeing more from you because WOW!!!

I do not have a video. The different folders contain different types of liveries(LSPD,Blaine county, etc...). Inside the .ytd file there are 8 files named vicz_sign_1... etc You need to replace each of those with the skins in the .rar I made skins for each type of livery so you will need to delete 2 from the .ytd file

I installed the skin but does anyone have this problem?

I recently got into GTA modding and am somewhat unsure of what I am doing, I downloaded the pack but did not see a readme included with Bxbugs123's file. I saw Documentation (a file I could not open) and mod related files. I found the carvariations file but I don't know exactly what to edit? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I want to use your vehicles very badly!

I embarrassingly need help as well.

Slightly-Related Information:
I have a background in IT and I'm yet again embarrassed to say that modding GTA IV or GTA V are two things that's always intimidated me, for whatever reason. Skyrim is about the only game I've had trouble with because of all of the overwriting and room for error. I have no problem modding other games, from ARMA 3 to Fallout 4. I even remember, somewhat, installing mods on GTA III when I was younger. I've never used OpenIV up until today, though I have used LSPDFR and other 'script' mods with and without the mod manager.

What I Did:
This morning, I tried adding cars to GTA:V for the first time. To my relief, it didn't make my PC explode. The first mod I installed was an oiv installer, which I didn't see in-game (I now know this was because I replaced the Buffalo and not the vanilla CVPI, I believe) but I did see the lighting effects on the vanilla CVPI and other vehicles which I'm not sure I liked or not but I digress because I uninstalled the mod as to avoid OIV's in the future and any conflicts that may arise . I successfully manually installed two mods, one being F5544's 2012 Ford Police Interceptor which I even took the extra step to install the 'extra' clear lightbar. I was rather pleased with myself and moved on to replace the vanilla CVPI because it looks rather wonky to have one vehicle modded and no others, let alone one police vehicle that's not even the most common police vehicle. 

Obviously, I moved on to Bxbugs123's 2011 Crown Victoria LASD/LSSD. I couldn't quite get the extraction of the files from the provided oiv to work, so I thought 'what the hell' and installed it via the provided oiv installer. Knowing I'd need at least an LSPD version, I just happened to come across your amazing textures and downloaded them with confidence but came across several issues before finally coming to the final issues:

After making a copy of four of Bxbugs123's files, I placed them in  "\Grand Theft Auto V\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday4ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\" where I thought the files were needed and renamed all four of the "police4" files at my disposal to just be "police" as I figured this would replace the vanilla CVPI. I then replaced 6/8 of the textures in the YTD, the last two being Park Ranger liveries that I thought were unnecessary, and loaded back up GTA:V. I haven't installed a trainer or even LSPDFR as to not get ahead of myself and actually tackle this dream of mine so I rushed over to the nearest station and saw a couple of 'slick-top' LSPD Crown Victorias using Bxbugs123's model and your texture. At first I thought they looked amazing but I immediately realized that it was unlikely I got two 'slick-top' CVPI's to spawn that I didn't know were a part of what I downloaded. Well, as you can imagine, the cars were just missing their lightbars and the lighting was all sorts of misplaced around the vehicle, with the lights of the light bar being in the interior of the vehicle.

So, a tl;dr and a few questions if you can bother to do more than just help me get this working:
I installed Bxbugs123's Crown Victoria via his provided oiv, I then copied Bxbugs123's files to " \Grand Theft Auto V\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchday4ng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\" and renamed them all from 'police4' to 'police' before replacing the textures and deleting unnecessary ones. I then had no light bar and misplaced lights.
1) What did I do wrong?
2) How would I go about installing each of these liveries individually - or is that not possible? I wondered where all of the vehicles are located and how they'd all go to one police model and know which area's CVPI's to apply to so I only tried the LAPD textures.
3) What does 'OSS' stand for? (When I installed Bxbugs123's Crown Victoria, I used the OSS version. I didn't think it stood for open source but I could be wrong...I believed it to have extra features and blindly took it.)
4) Do you have any tips for me or anything to add that may give me a 'ah, I get it now' type of understanding to all of this? I'm under the impression, based on the number of people that do this (even streamers/YouTubers that don't seem to have the most technical know-how), that I'm way overthinking this or overlooking something extremely simple.

Don't worry, I could open the documentation file but it's just a screenshot of the mod description page like a lot of other mods. I didn't see anything asking to change 'carvariations'. I'm rather new to this as well. I hesitantly used the provided oiv installer, I'd been avoiding them to try to learn things myself and to avoid any unwanted conflicts but didn't ever figure out how to extract the files from the OIV let-alone install them.
