So I haven't played before but heard that something has to be installed to actually make the game moddable?or do you just apply the lcpdfr ?

not really you can just go to c:/programfiles/rockstargames/grand theft auto IV

right click it and click properties, and untick read only and click apply.

after that go to security tab and click on

users (YOURNAME\Users)

and tick all of the boxes.

now do the same you did there for the c:/programfiles/rockstargames/grand theft auto IV to the

C:/programfiles/rockstargames/grand theft auto IV/data

that method is the quickest and easiest way to make gta moddable

hey thanks,

the read only wont go off for me..i can only change the security..why is this? everytime i go back, its still on read.

ok the issue is that i have two folders where it says my username/users.

one of the (YOURNAME\Users), says *not inherited", and i have another (YOURNAME\Users) and that is under drive D: where I have the game. That one won't go to full authority. (just execute and read)

go into your directory and find gta iv and do the same thing

not sure what you mean, that is where the game is installed (drive d, not drive c)

i did the gtaiv folder, then specifically the data folder. but it just keeps going back despite applying changes.

right click gta 4 then open file location and you should see bunch of files

not working for me.

is there any other way to do this? im updated to 1.0.7

it should work...look for the gta 4 folders and the steps above do that to every gta 4 icon...main one on your desktop then the ones in directory its says application on the side

I think I might have done it.

I might be confusing the "read" being ticked on the folder as opposed to making sure its not ticked on the applications?

When I actually click on the folder and find properties, it always goes back to being checked. but if i do what you said, and simply right click the applications, its not read only.
