Hey guys, so this is what I am trying to do, I have fought with installing LCPD:FR for about 2 weeks now and am getting now where but getting LCPD:FR installed but I feel as if I am not even doing that right. So I am reaching out to the LCPD:FR Forums for help and this is what I am wondering what can happen.

 

1. I am wondering if someone can give me an EXTREMELY detailed, step by step, dumbed down instruction on how to install the necessary mods for LCPD:FR, for example, the police lights, cars, police chases, arrests, issuing traffic tickets, frisking pedestrians, speed radar, police database to check for valid licenses, etc....

 

I have tried the YouTube video thing and seem to get no where trying to watch it over and over again making changes because mods did not work "in game". I know Alt+P starts the basic LCPD:FR mod to get the uniform and such. But I am just needing help installing this mod because I have no clue how to do it. I am not a computer genius but it would be nice to give me the basics and a step by step instructions to get me started with the basic list mentioned in number 1. 

 

2. if you can make the mods in lists so I can either screen shot it and save it in case something happens I have instructions to fall back on and not have to come back to the forum lol. I will be checking this post daily to see what I can get help with. I don't know if team viewer might help but I do have Team viewer if anyone MIGHT be able to help me but I try to avoid using team viewer due to that lack of not knowing people on this forum....

 

Thanks everyone

 

Here is a tutorial for the manual install package:

Read the user documentation included with LCPDFR if you need more info on the mod and its features. Police chases, arrests, issuing traffic tickets, frisking pedestrians, and the police database to check for valid licenses are part of LCPDFR, not separate mods.

 

For car mods, you need to use either OpenIV or SparkIV. There are tutorials available in our tutorial database, as well as other places on the internet. A lot of vehicles are ELS enabled, meaning you will need ELS installed. >Here is that download. Again, read the user manual for an explanation of everything.

Also, be advised that LCPDFR is not supported with third-party mods, such as vehicles. The more mods you have, the less stable the game will be.

So if I understand this correctly, LCPDFR installation itself has call outs, arrests, towing, approach driver window, issue tickets, etc?

Yes, except for towing. You can use >LukeD's Callouts+ for that.

 

The ELS folder is part of the installation. Just drag all of the files and folders from the INSTALLATION FILES folder into your main GTA IV directory.

Forgive me for questioning and making this difficult, but would ALL mods go into the GTA Directory like I did with the LCPDFR mod? or would they have a designated location for it? Because, you said ELS "Installation Files" can go in the directory? Am I understanding that right? And would ALL mods go into the Directory or is there a designated file they have to go in for some or specific mods?

Depends on the mod. Script mods that end in .asi generally go in the main GTA IV folder. Script mods that end in .net.dll go in the "scripts" folder. If it is a plugin for LCPDFR, like Callouts+, then it goes in the plugins folder, which is inside the LCPDFR folder. Mods that change the content of the game (vehicles, peds, etc) are a different story. They need to be replaced using SparkIV or OpenIV.
