Spoiler

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I've spent way too much time trying to find a solution through google, YT, or anything else I can search through and I just cant seem to figure it out. Im trying to download a police car through the lcpdfr website. I download a file, and Im given a few folders: Data, with the meta files(carcols, carvariations, and vehicles), a Stream Folder with the Models, also a resource.lua(which I have no idea what to do with). Im using and following Albos Modding DLC Pack guide but regardless of what I do, the models just will not load properly. Most of the time it'll be the car, but no skin/livery. I add the carcols and carvariations to \mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\MODDING\dlc.rpf\common\data and the vehicle.meta to \mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5\vehicles.meta and/or \mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\MODDING\dlc.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5\vehicles.meta but still to no avail. I've read the Albo Modding DLC Pack guide and I believe I followed the steps correctly. I've tried just adding the models straight to the \mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\MODDING\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles\vehicles.rpf with the original model name. But what Im wanting to do is replace an existing police car so it spawns in game as an officer controlled car. I've changed the model name to sheriff in the meta files and model files but still doesnt work.

Im sorry if this is confusing, but I've even searched videos but everyone seems to get a pack thats already named police, sheriff, etc. I just don't get what to do with these files to make them work.

My main goal: REPLACE existing Sheriff, Sheriff2 with an ADDON police car.

I dont know how to take this out of a spoiler. I copied it from another post I almost put in the wrong section.

Those are FiveM cars you are describing. 

You can still use them with GTA V singleplayer but it will be a lot harder, especially if they come with carcols files.

Alright, first thing first. You are working with non-ELS vehicles, which means they will have extra's such as in this case a spoiler, but their can be additional extras like light bars, etc. That doesn't mean you can't use it in the base game, it just means you have to fiddle around with a few different things.

The first thing you need to do is change the name of the vehicle in your .rpf to Sheriff (or whatever your wanting to change it too). Once you've done that do the same in your vehicle.meta, carvaration.meta and carcol.meta file. Now, as far as where they should go I have mine placed as follows:

dlcpacks -> modding -> dlc.rpf -> common -> data -> carcols.meta & carvariations.meta

dlcpacks -> modding -> dlc.rpf -> common -> data -> levels -> gta5 -> vehicles.meta

 

Also make sure you are referencing the load sequence in content.xml it's in the main directory, if you aren't you need to add these lines:

    <Item>
      <filename>dlc_modding:/common/data/carcols.meta</filename>
      <fileType>CARCOLS_FILE</fileType>
      <overlay value="false" />
      <disabled value="true" />
      <persistent value="false" />
    </Item>

 

<Item>dlc_modding:/common/data/carcols.meta</Item>

 

After you've done all that load your game and see if it works. As for the spoiler, you can remove that manually with simple native trainer (or any trainer). If you want the car to load with preset extras your gonna have to go into the vehicle.meta and force load whatever extra's you want for example if you only wanted extra 1 and extra 2 to load you would do:
 

 <extraIncludes><Item>EXTRA_1 EXTRA_2</Item></extraIncludes>

 

It's a lot to take in, I learned this all on my own and I swap back and forth between ELS and non-ELS cars, so if you need anymore help just ask.

Do you have a guide I could follow?

I've done those things and they still dont work. This is how they load into the game: https://gyazo.com/dc05121f132758cdd4bdbb80ce4ba63b
