You should be using the els file provided in your vehicle's download

i downloaded els from lspdfr so i didnt need to do that

emergency lighting system

Then the carcols.ymt or carvariations.ymt for that vehicle may be incorrect, search for police3 and restore it to default values from an unmodded version

Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data

ok ill try that thank u

When I try access it through the Open IV Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data it shows this error message. However, when I try to access the default with Grand Theft Auto V\update\update.rpf\x64\data it allows me to open it. What does that mean?

Should I just drag in the default file of carcols into the Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data

To edit the file you need to drag it onto your desktop(or anywhere) and right click open with notepad to edit.

But yes you can also drag the default carcols and carvariations into the mods versions. Just be sure to back the files up.

You might've used an automatic installation into openiv where it does the work for you quickly. That's called an openiv package installer. If you saw a big car pack for example and it had a file ending in .oiv that's an automatic installer that might have contained the carcols/carvariations files. Or maybe you did it manually following a text document's instructions one day and probably forgot you edited it

ok so if happens again i will just fallow the steps u showed and thank u again also i marked your answer as a solution wish i could do more to help u thank u
