Hey guys! I am new the to LCPDFR community and with modding games as well. I am curious if there are any must have mods to download? or any good/useful ones in general :P I'm also curious if anyone has any tips on how I can mod successfully without having to many bugs or errors? 

 

Thanks! :)

Welcome to the forums, glad to have you. Look through this thread ('?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>) and I guarantee you will find something that will skrike your fancy. Also, modding without having errors is tricky. Rule of the thumb; Use lightweight mods, or no mods at all. GTA IV is very unstable and prone to crashes, even without mods.

It is indeed. Me myself, I use all kinds of mods E.G. Tow truck service, Coroners, ALPR script, ELS v7, police helper etc...

 

So, it can work, but what I've done is not downloaded any ENB since it seems to make my PC crazy, and it's a good gaming PC. 

 

And while we're at it, don't forget to download CVPI's and fill your game with that beauty

 

 

Edit: Wish you best of luck, and download as many mods as you want. Just make sure you have a back up of the GTA IV folder, just in case... *Before you start downloading mods*

Yeah, always make backups. Very important. Actually, to reduce some crashes, try download non-els vehicles. I do not personally use ELS, only Ekalbs vanilla cars + extra skins and they look great, in my opinion.

Thanks for the help! :) I just checked out the vanilla cars pack and they look great! ELS kind of bothers me at times (maybe because I'm not fully sure on how to work it), but these non ELS cars looking amazing! I also found a few mods I like :) Again thanks for the help! 

Yes! Another vanilla user then! Glad to hear you found some you like. Happy gaming, and glad to be of assistance! :)
