Hi guys!

I am new to the forum and have always looked for a video game to play as a police officer and came across this. It seems like there is a good amount of DL's and options for this.

Any advice or recommendations that people have? Must haves etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Well that really depends... I used to have tons of mods, but it always leads to crashes eventually. Now, I just have LCPDFR 1.0c, Wasteland callouts mod, and Simple Native Trainer. The other mods such as ELS, Car Mods, Sirens, ENB's (graphics) are nice, but you WILL crash your game. But if you have any ideas on what you're looking for (Cars etc.) I'll be happy to throw you in the right direction.

Nice to meet you Rob, it's always nice to have another member in the forums community. 

Well...

What are Wasteland callouts mod, Simple Native Trainer & ELS.

I will so some research lol.

The waste land call out mod is where in lcpdfr 1.0 you get more callouts. Smiple native trainer a mod that allows you to control the game like changing the weather and time and much more.

I have noticed that there are 2 different versions of a radar for the cars. Any one you recommend over the other?

Thanks guys!

I am still reading and researching. I want to have a solid game but not looking to crash my PC either, so I don't know what to download and what not to.

I definitley want a radar and nice detailed cars (wig wags, strobes etc) but on the same token I am not sure how many I can DL without doing that lol. I would like a busy city but AGAIN, I don't want to overload the PC as well.

hey new guy!! new guy here too!! you seem to be wondering like i was about what to get. okay so the videos you see on youtube that are crisp and amazing are not the majority of us. those are very nice computers that can handle alot of stuff. so chances that your police lights and the way they flash really fast probably won't be like theirs. what i am using is an HP All in One Pavillion 23. my game plays pretty good actually and i have done a little common knowledge tweaking to make it run a little better. i am so excited to have the game that it could crash every thirty minutes and i'd still be happy. right now mine will crash after about 1.5 to 2 hours. that also depends on how many "add-ons" you are using. So here, in a nutshell, is how i did mine.

 

 1. installed gta iv

 2. installed lcdpfr

 3. made a backup copy

 4. once i started gta iv up i went into graphics on the main menu and reduced everything that said "effects CPU usage" i also reduced the size of the screen.

 5. i installed game booster 3 to shut down some things that are unncessary to have running while gaming

 6. if you want to use the really flashy lights you will need to download ELS v8.0. if you are okay with normal police lights just use non-ELS ones. you can filter your option on the search menu

 7. made a backup copy

 8. i found and installed ELS compatible police cars. you will need to download Open IV to change those in your directory.

 9. i repaired my directory before i exited Open IV

10.i installed vH Helper. it is good for calling ambulances and fire trucks that are actually stable. It also lets you call the coroner, get a bait car, and set up barricades.

11. made a backup copy

 

now if you can get all this going then you are in a good position to start playing and having a good time. if your game is playing just fine with no problems then you can consider doing more things. the more you change the directory the more unstable it will become. you will just have to play and see how the changes affect your game as you go along. i found everything i needed here on the forum and any questions i posted were answered quickly. hope this helps just a little bit. good luck :D

As for mods, it's hard to suggest them, since everyone has different tastes. Have a look at the link Illusionary posted, and you're bound to find some you will enjoy!
