I was thinking it might be cool for LCPDFR or another modder to make a detective mod. Add basic questioning for peds, add lineups, collect evidence, examine crime scenes,etc. I was wondering what you guys think of this idea or what you would add.

suggested, I even replied but nobody gave a sh*** about that so I'll repeat: fully doable but you have to simplify a lot of things, even with basic attempt of making dialogues it would take some MASSIVE amount of work. I have a simple script (rather 5% of a script) which is based on "fedex-like" missions and a summary after each stage of investigation (eg. "Response to the scene", "Report of the 1st Officer on the scene") which make it more like a text adventure game + driving. It took me a lot of time to get it actually working. Just think about one thing: how would you develop a full case which consist of many stages when LCPD:FR is using mainly a callout system?

As I've already said once about this matter:

It's a nice idea, but the LCPDFR mod is about a beat cop, and providing the tools to be a beat cop. Maybe it can be done with the API :)

In the future, please use the search button. Most likely, like in this case, what you're looking for has already been posted.

That's why I said "or some other modder". Either way beat cops do question people. I think, no offense, but LCPDFR needs to realize being a beat cop is more than hey theres a homeless man make him leave or hey a lady is being mugged arrest the mugger. Sometimes you're the first on scene to a murder and you need to block off the area etc. I understand that gta iv has its limitations,but, once again no offense, you shouldn't be so dismissve of other people's ideas. I know Im a little out of line right now but I think it needed to be done, espically since gta 5 is coming out soon and the LCPDFR community is going to need something to different to keep is fresh. End Rant.

I'm not dismissive, it's just that there is a limited amount of things you can do with GTA IV without breaking it.

Also, not everyone might have the patience to do "real" police work (i.e cordon off areas, question people, find evidence etc).

I'd recommend playing LA Noire if you're interested in the detective line of police work. 

I agree that does sound nice

While this sounds cool, ineseri is right. There is only so much you can do with GTA IV. Let's hope GTA V is moddable, and let's see if someone has the time to create a "First 48" type mod.
