This is what we need--less. Less is more. If Rockstar gives us a good port, then I want "LSPDFR," a trainer, and nothing else. The problem with GTA IV was once you have a handful of mods running, the game crashes and acts up all the time. Rockstar has already given us A LOT in GTA V. I think the police lights and cars are fine and do not need to be modded (even though people probably will anyway.) Swat teams already will repel in after the player when you have a high wanted level, use tear gas, pull wounded out of the fights, etc. The visual look of game is AMAZING, even better on PC, so there goes the need for ENBs.

 

As far as LSDPFR goes, we just need a way to switch to a police model, not get a wanted level, arrest people, get in pursuits, and call for backup. That's really it.

 

A lot of the problems people have in GTA IV, with LCPDFR, is that the great modders here had to put in a huge amount of work to get the game/mod to do what it does now. It seems that with GTA V, Rockstar has already done a lot of the work, and given the game a lot of policing toys for us to play with. The game requires far less mods, and thus should run all the more stable for it. If the shotcallers behind LCPDFR are reading this..development-wise, it should really be about utilizing the police system that's already in the game, not hot-wiring a custom system. If you pay close attention to GTA V, it's not like GTA IV when fat cops just run up to you and shoot you, cops will repel out of choppers, throw tear gas, THROW SPIKE STRIPS, to do that in GTA IV you need a mod, and it doesn't always work.

 

The only question now is, will the PC port be like GTA IV? I do not think Rockstar will repeat that disaster, but I think they will go hard with some new, heavy DRM, and the game will not want to play nice with mods, given the way they have aggressively patched GTA Online.

 

Other than that, I want my GTA V on PC to be as vanilla as possible. It's already a great game, and everything we need is there, except for LSPDFR.

 

Just my 2 cents.

 

Thanks.

The only mods I use with GTA IV is LCPDFR, police vehicles replaced (With LCPD Varients of the GTA V Police cars), area livery's and a script to repair/wash my car ... that's it.

 

Also, aside from rapeling out of helicopters (Which I don't even remember if the LCPD actually do or not), I've not the seen the LSPD do anything different from the LCPD, at all. I don't even know if the LSPD are capable of arresting people as I've never actually been arrested, just shot.

This - the police will have to be a lot less lethal. They shoot on sight no matter what. I had a cop hit me in a car once and he immediately killed me.

Well, I just looked it up and no, the LSPD aren't programed to arrest people, they just kill them. Apparently the arrest script was something that was cut out for the sake of improving performance. Will they re-add it for the PC version? Unlikely, they'll probably just add another car instead or something.

 

Also, theres no "Times Arrested" or "Times Busted" or anything along those lines in the stats pages either.

The visuals are pretty bad actually, compared to some next gen games. Most gta iv enbs are 2-3x better than GTA V graphics. Thats my opinion though

You can get arrested, but its VERY hard after 2 stars. it only seems possible on 1 star only, ATM though

Well there is this too:

R* also removed the wounds system, people just die now, paramedics don't heal, police don't patrol. I think it's not a performance otimization. R* clearly state that GTA V is about killing people, shooting cops, creating havoc, everything beyond that is removed. It's highly unlikely PC version will have those issues changed.

 

So I'd definitely like a mod that alters the said above. And another one for the Interceptor texure to make that P O L I C E nightmare gone! :D

 

And probably a separate livery for Blaine county sheriffs. Like LSSD will have black cruisers and SUVs, BCSD - white. 

 

 

 

I've not the seen the LSPD do anything different from the LCPD

 

Pursuits (so lame now, oh), shooting tear gas, roadblocks (I really like them), speed checkpoints (poor guys, they don't know there's no speedometers in GTA), and tactics in shootouts. That one is really cool.

I won't be happy until I get a Rwanda mod and an IRA mod.

Pursuits were only really different because the detection system was different (also they can sometimes see though walls when it suits them which really annoys me), never seen them use tear gas, LCPD did roadblocks they were just really limited, LCPD have cars parked up on the side of the road although again they were really limited and I've not seen anything different from the shootout tactics (They still tend to just get to cover and shoot in your general direction).

Nah, I mean vehicle tactics during chases. They just ram your car in V, don't even try to overtake. With a car like Dozer or Tank it looks sooo stupid. 

 

I never had it too but read at Wiki and guess I saw a video.

 

Only at bridges. I never said LCPD didn't do roadblocks, did I? Now it's everywhere and spike strips are in it too.

 

yeah, two. 

 

Well, I do see. Hard to explain here, but they act more professional, use cover more often, drag fallen officers behind cars, and generally are more efficient that gangs. 

I don't think the question should be, "how many does it need" but instead, "how many will it have?"

In terms of mods for GTA V, I would only use the following:

• Simple Native Trainer (for Time sync in SP mode and model switching)
• LSPDFR

In terms of what I would modify myself:

• Modify the vehicle population files to include the Police Stainer, Police Buffalo, etc.. There are too many Vapid Police Interceptors!
• Remove Police ramming feature (if possible; this feature is a bit unrealistic, as cars don't have sudden bursts of speed... Unless it's a Tesla)

Other than these changes, I am very content with GTA V. 

My answer would be "not many"
