Im using .95 LCPDFR cause 1.0 Crashes but i think i found the problem on that part but every time i put a Police skin or New siren it crashes everything works fine until i put them in, im using OpenIV should i try Spark? and if i put the skins in how can i get it back to the normal ones cause waiting 8hours for GTA IV to re-install is just too dam long.

I found out that every time I make a change or add a skin I have to delete my saved game files and start a new game. If it tries to go to a saved game it always crashes. Took me three days to figure that out.

Well firstly as far as I'm concerned, older versions of lcpdfr are not currently supported, and only the newest version (1.0c) is.

 

Anyways, since this is car reated, when you say skin I think you mean car model. If you literally mean just a texture change I'm not sure because when I mod cars I mod the entire car, despite my low-poly pack.

 

Anyways, I think I see your problem as It's happened to me: When you use Open/SparkIV after REPLACING a file (Such as HORNS.ivuad or police/police2, etc), try rebuilding the archive. I always used to crash because I wasn't rebuilding, in edit mode click "File" or the equivalent in the top left, and go to Rebuild. Click rebuild and there you go, do this after you add a new file or replace something.

 

As for the other guy's reply, making a new save does help as well. i never play on a save after modding cars just because I get SMPA60 more often. 

 

Oh and, I suggest not using a manual install for cars, It's my personal preference but I think it would be easier to use GTAIV Vehicle Mod Installer. It has an option for ELS enabled cars which (may) make it more stable on install. It also automatically rebuilds the archive when exiting, which saves you the trouble.

 

If you want to revert to the original vehicle pack, you need to backup the file "vehicles.img" located in  pcmodelscdimages of your GTA folder. Copy and paste it somewhere.

 

If you don't want to wait "8 hours" (That's long...mine takes 2 hours tops) you can find a fresh vehicles.img online somewhere.

So Honestly u think its because of not rebuilding the archive? So if i get the mod installer is rebuilds it and does everything itself?

That's what I said 

 

Use the vehicle installer and check "Rebuild archive on exit" as well as the ELS box if you're installing ELS-Enabled Vehicles. 

 

The problems could be just the amount of car-mods you have as well. You can't overloard on them, especially if your system doesn't meet requirements set to the game itself.

 

See if it works.
