Hey guys,

My problem today is related to spark iv for gta 4. So what happens is that I mod the game cars and put in different ones.

I modded under all these cars, ambulance, FBI, firetruk, noose, nstockade, police, police2, polpatriot, and pstockade.

So I go into game and all the cars spawn and everything. After a while though not all the cars spawn through simple native trainer like they were before, which is really weird. Any help would be appreciated.

What do you mean with that they do not spawn? Are you pressing the spawn key and nothing happens? Are the models very high poly? If yes, then that is most likely the issue. 

It says unable to spawn requested model.

Are you running the game as administrator? Is it a legal copy of the game? 

Since you are using SparkIV, take your time to press "save" & "rebuild", this will solve some issues when importing cars.

If that does not work, consider reinstalling the mods using a different software, for example OpenIV. 

Yep and I bought gta retail.

Some people say to not use the rebuild option, should I?

If you are using SparkIV, you need to. 

So what are the steps you use?

This section is for issues with the actual LCPDFR mod itself.

I don't use SparkIV to start with, I use OpenIV (http://openiv.com/WebIV/guest.php?get=1). Then I read the readme to know which file to replace. 

Okay, how many cars can files can you replace at a time?

As many as you'd like to, but of course that is not the way to do it since installing mods in a bulk is never a good idea. You install one car, test the game. Install another car, test the game. And so on. 

Okay, thanks for your help I will try using openiv instead.

Do that, and if you run into any issues do not hesitate to ask. Just read all readme files first. 

I tried with open iv, still the same issue. Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are your system specs? Most times when it says that, your PC is out of resources and the game won't spawn the car to stop itself from crashing. If your specs aren't very strong, that could be your issue. If your specs are good, try reducing the Vehicle Density in the Option menu, or try moving to a different area when you try to spawn new cars.

Okay I'll try that

 

Didn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!

The exact message is,

Unable To Spawn Requsted Model, Please Check Model

Can anybody help please!!!!!

I'm still using openiv and I changed all my cars, exact same problem, Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I know why, your game is out of memory. Is it in all slots, or just one slot this happen? 

When I first open the game all the cars spawn and it works fine. Later I try to spawn some cars and not all of them work. The only time when I can spawn all the cars is when I first open the game, then after awhile not all of them spawn.

I see. I do apologize for the late answer. I think your computer is running out of memory when playing the game after a while, hence causing the models not to load. Fortunately, there may be a fix. To circumvent a less powerful computer, and maybe get the game up and running, create a txt file called “commandline.txt” (without quotes) in your main GTA IV installation directory and insert the following lines:

-renderquality 0 -shadowdensity 0 -texturequality 0 -viewdistance 0 -detailquality 0 -novblank -norestrictions -percentvidmem 100 -minspecaudio -novsync -renderquality 0 -frameLimit 0 -nomemrestrict

Now, this will make the game look pretty bad. If you feel an improvement with this commandline, consider switching out all the contents to this instead: 

-novblank -norestrictions -percentvidmem 100 -novsync -frameLimit 0 -nomemrestrict
