hi,

ive been trying to add different mods like emergency lighting systems skins for cops but everytime i download them it comes up as a file that cannont be read. i don't really know what to do. anyone  can help me?

 

thanks

Do you have WinRar installed? Because, the file you are trying to view is probably a ZIP file. Several files compressed into one. You need WinRar, or 7zip to open those files.

Then after that when im playing the game how do i get the car

To install cars, you will need OpenIV (http://openiv.com/We...guest.php?get=1) as I said before :)

im sorry :( im just new to this

It's okay :) Read the attached readme that comes with most mods, that'll help you. If there is none, this is the generic one: 

Open up "pcmodelscdimagesvehicles.img"  with OpenIV and search for the name of the car that you want to replace, then press import button and replace with the new one. Note: You must replace not add new ones. For example, if you have police.wtd and police.wtf, you need to replace those two inside the vehicles.img file

Also, create a backup of each original files, they are useful in future if something should go wrong. Hope this helps.

Also, is there a version for winx64

It depends. Read my instruction and it should not be hard. Also, read the OpenIV documentation.

 

Yes, it works on all Windows architectures.

Can you post a screenshot of the error you are receiving?

it says make sure i have windows XP (Service Pack 2)

I do not use any ELS cars, just vanilla cars. 

 

And I think that is the oldest operating system allowed. Taking screenshot of any error messages would help.
