I been having a lot of stability issues with GTA 4 mods and LCPDFR, and already I have uninstall it to do a complete reinstall ( I could get a hour at most, but now it crashes every 20 minutes). After reading through some threads, installing mods in a certain order may help?

 

So what would be the best way to install these mods? 

 

LCPDFR 1.1

ELS V8

TrafficFlowV5

Simple Native Trainer v6.5

& Vehicle and Ped modifications

 

Also are any of these mods know for crashing, ELS, TrafficFlow?

 

I don't think order much matters - just ensure you install LCPDFR after ELS.

And GTA4 is inherently unstable, the more you add to it the more likely it is to crash. ELS is a tad known for the infamous SMPA60, though.

In general, only "copy and replace" files that are marked as "newer" than the existing files. This way, the order you install really doesn't matter.

 

For example, I would click "don't copy" because the existing file is newer:

The game is still crashing, even after re-installing and deleting saves, but I notice now how every crash error is this "SMPA60".

 

After some research its supposedly saving a modded car at a safehouse, but people said they where still getting it with a un-modded game.

But it also could be your vehicle mods causing it.

 

I been using 3 vehicles made by Luxart, I could run the game for 30-60 minutes, or more without a crash.

 

But at some point it started crashing more often, around the same time I added a NYC bus mod. Another point is, I played through the first missions, because I started a new game, and ran the game for over a hour without crash. It seems to crash when I'm playing LCPDFR...

 

 

I can't find a culprit for the crashing...

SMPA60 := car extra spawn error.

The game remembers which extras your car has when saving them at a safehouse - Let's say you have a Hakumai with a spoiler and foglights. When the game loads, it loads that Hakumai with the spoiler and foglights. If you mod that Hakumai, the game doesn't know where the spotlights or the spoiler go, so ultimately crashes.

This can ALSO occur with ELS, which - you guessed it! - uses extras for lighting.

I removed the bus mod, and I was able to run LCPDFR for 30-35 minutes, then I ended my shift and saved.

 

I think that may have been the culprit.

Ok, so it wasn't the bus mod...

 

But I was able to play LCPDFR for 45 minutes(which is the usual amount I used to get)  till it crashed with the new ELS V8.5 update, that was just release today.
