I have a steam account and I was wondering if I download and buy the game and put this mod in will steam ban me or not? I'm also new to this modding stuff and I'm very interested in this mod! I just don't know where to start and download this mod! Can someone help me please!

No, you won't be banned. Click on downloads and you'll find that from there it's pretty self explanatory. :happy:

Thank you for commenting back! Any other tips?

All you need to do is change the install directory when prompted from the default one (in a rockstar games folder) to the steam one (steamappscommongrand theft auto ivgtaiv). It will run fine. A bonus with the steam version is if you screw up installing it somehow and can't play the game you can just verify the games content through steam and it will fix it.

In terms of the mod itself just install it as is and play for a while, then make the decision if you want to install other cars (you'll need sparkIV) or mod it in any other way. Always make sure everything functions correctly before you mod anything further in case you break anything and can't figure out what the cause was. Personally I just watched some videos and followed the LCPD:FR and GTA Police Mods forums and picked up some cars and textures progressively, which then led me to install ELS (for custom cars with different emergency lights), the Area Livery Mod and a traffic mod.

If you're using the steam version it might also be an idea to turn off automatic updating in case steam applies a patch one day that breaks the mod.

Also, before you install the mod play the original game until you get your phone and apartment. If you get further in the game that can also be helpful (so you can use car washes, paynspray, gun shops, etc.) but the mod should unlock all the islands for you.

Not needed. The installed will find the GTA folder if GTA is installed properly.

I installed the mod today and everything is working perfectly expect my game runs really slow but hey it still works! I like using this mod but now I want to put some custom police cars on there. Where do i go to do this?
