Hello friends, 

 

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, I have look for hours and cannot find the information I am trying to find.

 

Some of the DLC packs I add into the game tend to replace some (or all) replacement files in game.

 

For example, I have all LAPD replacement cars for police and fbi slots. But, later on I add a new sheriff pack as a standalone DLC, suddenly I have a 2011 Crown Vic Sheriff car in my police slot. 

 

When I check in the patchday that I use, the ytd files still show the LAPD car that I want to show in the police slot, meaning somehow in game the DLC sheriff car is overriding the LAPD replacement file.

 

I also checked within the DLC pack to make sure the Sheriff crown vic isn't named police. It is not, its named 11cvp.

 

I am sure the DLCs giving these "issues" are designed that way by the creators of the mod, but how can I change that where it won't override the replacement files?

 

I also understand I can just steer clear of those DLCs, but call it the mod bug but I'd love to know if its something I have to live with?, files I need to edit?, or even the order I mod. Maybe I need to do all the DLC packs before doing the replacement cars?

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts and thank you for taking the time to read this!

 

P.S. Feel free to roast me if this is obvious haha, I'm less than a year into LSPDFR, but I have as much fun installing mods as I do playing!

The order of whether you install addons first last or in the mix won’t have any effect on their functionality. All that matters is that they are installed correctly.

 

I’ve never heard of add-on vehicles automatically overriding replacement vehicles on their own, however I’m not fully sure what pack you used, and I supposedly it could have come with another file that allows for this. If you don’t mind linking the pack I can take a look to better understand how this happened

This is the pack I was referring to in the post, apologies I thought about linking the pack but than just didn't. Oops.

 

Just to eliminate the obvious issues I did download the Addon version and not the replacement version as I already have the cars I want in their respective slots.

 

Also, I did notice the LAPD replace car in the police slot and the sheriff car in the DLC that overrides it are both crown vics. However the replace car is named "police" in game and the sheriff DLC car is 11cvp.

 

I would link a video but I am in the process for reinstalling lspdfr for a fresh game.

 

I've also read thru the comments on this pack and it seems at least one other person had the same issue. Just not sure how it can happen without any files recognized as police in game.

I'm not able to download the file myself at the moment, so I cant view the exact issue, but it sounds like it potentially has to do with the vehicle.meta entry. 

 

Check the vehicles.meta and change the game name and TXD name to the name of the CVPI (or whatever the value of "ModelName" is, though it should match the model file).
