Every other Google search result for this is actually about add-on cars and replacing the actual police car models and textures, so here's a question that no one has apparently asked before.

 

So, I'm using a mod that replaces police4 with an unmarked LAPD Crown Vic (props if you know which one I'm talking about). Good stuff, right? I like that mod. However, for some reason, the SAHP units that spawn on the highways and stuff all drive police4, and I don't know why. That means, in realistic terms, the CHP is using nothing but unmarked Crown Vics from a different department, and that's something I kind of don't want.

 

My SAHP vehicles are fbi and fbi2, and I'd like to use those for SAHP spawns instead. I also want to reduce how often police2 spawns in the city, as with the mods I'm using, the vehicle I use for police2 isn't really as common in real life as it is in-game. How would I go about doing this?

 

If it helps, I have Ultimate Backup and EUP, though I don't have EUP outfits applied to AI police and I edited my Ultimate Backup xmls to spawn the proper cars (meaning the SAHP using police4 isn't an issue for backup).

 

As a side question, how would I also change which vehicles show up under each department in the police garage? Because in the garage, police4 is under SAHP; likewise, I also want to remove what appears to be three versions of fbi2 from NOOSE, since with the mod I have for fbi2, practically nothing changes between each NOOSE variant.

grammar or wording or something

You will need to edit the agency.xml file (make an "agency_[blabla]" file in the "custom" folder so that you don't edit the original). As to the vehicles in your garage, it's all again in the "agency" file ; every single car you put below an agency will appear in the garage in that same agency you put it into.

 

More info in the official LSPDFR guide for the agency file and the custom folder.
