LSPDFRExpanded (name might change at a later date) is set to greatly expand the roleplay abilities of LSPDFR. It aims to create a good sense of realism and progression to your average playthrough. 

 

For your average playthrough, you might go onduty, play for an hour or two and then log off again. Rinse and repeat. The only kind of "progression" you actually gain are from CourtResults from mods like PoliceMenu and StopThePed. However even that isn't really a good kind of progression since it's basically just a text that changes. You don't really get any feedback from it.

 

With LSPDFRExpanded your average playthrough will greatly change. Let's start from the beginning (For LSPDFRExpanded to work properly, it is advised to press F4 and type "ForceDuty" for it to load properly):

 

1. The first time you load up the plugin you will wake up in your own apartment. From here you have numerous stuff to do. For example you can take a shower to start the day properly. Go to your wardrobe and take your favorite clothing. Head up to the kitchen and start making breakfast. You are working the nightshift so you invite a colleague over to spend a few hours. Once your friend left you are taking your keys, bag and go outside to your vehicle.

2. After going outside you unlock your vehicle and head to the nearest gas station to refill your vehicle. You still have a few hours to beat so what could you do? Every shop inside Los Santos is at your disposal. Wanna get a new haircut? Sure go ahead. A new tattoo? Your boss might not like it but you do you. Maybe you want to check out the new shirt SubUrban has to offer. Your friend told you, your car is looking very bland, why not buy a new one and tune it up a bit? However you choose to spend your money, it's sure a great investment.

3. After spending your freetime it's time to go to work. When you enter your department you are able to chat with your coworkers, make new friends (or even enemies if you don't like a particular guy). Stamp in your time and go onduty, wether you do it uniformed or undercover. Don't forget you grab the keys to the squad car and your equipment! You'll receive a paycheck every 10 minutes with a maximum being 1 hour. After that you can of course keep continiung to patrol but you won't be paid. Remember, your work quality influences your life. Put your back into it and you'll receive promotions, with promotions comes a higher salary. After your work is done and you stamp out again, you can follow your coworkers to the local bar, invite them over to your place and so on.

 

 

Everything you do with LSPDFRExpanded is saved. Wether you buy a new car, change your appearance, make new friends etc. You'll never lose your progression and start from scratch like in vanilla. In addition to that, each character that you created with LSPDFR will have it's own savefile. Want to play as an FIB director with tons of cars, cash and more? Sure do that. Want to play as an lonely cop with no friends? Why not.

 

This should give you a good look at how I want this plugin to function and as you can imagine, there is a lot of work and love going into this plugin so I hope you are as happy with the endresult as soon as it releases as I am working on it right now 🙂

Okay okay, I'm sold! I will try this this weekend! My lord, this sounds amazing. No more 'fake' roleplaying when off duty hahaha. Is there a feature where you can go grocery shopping, or in the weekends helping a family/friend with a renovation or something?

 

Can't wait to try this out!

Hell yeah! I'm hyped hahaha. I've been searching and hoping for this kind of mods. Can't wait to try this out!

This sounds amazing! I mean check out the pic where the gas pump is actually attached to the car that's cool very realistic. I'm going to try this out it seems rad alot to do and alot to see lol. Nice job bro 

Checklist:
Could buy clothes and food, bring them to the apartment and store them there.

Hairdresser and tattoo store also work.

Could buy a car and tune a car.
Gas Station work (gas pump and gas can)

What else I noticed:

1. no option to "fix" the car at the tuner ("repair" would always drain some money, tuning already costs nothing).

2. for sex workers on the streets, I don't have enough money (the system doesn't recognize my "play money" here at all)

 
Please open this "new money income" a bit more for "Sex, Sweets and Rock&Roll"  - Sex&Club, Beach&Party and drinks and music should also cost something, undercover detectives might also meet informants here, but idk just yet ^^)

So fare so good .. it works well!
