I’ve had my cars set up on my game for months now, but all of the sudden there’s a glitch where when police (bots) cars they’re physically in, aren’t showing up. It’s literally showing the characters sitting like they’re in a car, floating in the air lol. Anyone else had that issue? I just find it super weird that my game was fine and it wasn’t a problem until recently. I haven’t touched that mod or added/deleted any other cars or files that would interfere with it.? TIA!

From what it sounds like, it's an issue with your LODs. Each vehicle slot has its own unique LOD, in simple terms model rendering. If you have recently installed any vehicle metas or the like, that can cause that. You can either do this manually or install this mod for increased LODs, which is just a preset instead of doing it manually. I would only recommend doing that if you haven't made changes to the vehicles.meta or have changes you're willing to re-add.

 

For doing it manually, follow the instructions I have provided below.

1. Go to \mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5
2. Find and edit vehicles.meta
3. Search for the model name of the car (Ex fbi2)
4. Change the values of <lodDistances content="float_array"> for that model. Depending on the computer, you may only be able to handle certain distances or could experience performance drops, though I have never encountered that issue. (See spoiler for preset)
