Hi guys, 

my names Cowboy10uk, I've just found this mod, as I don't really follow GTA 4 on PC, and it popped up during a YouTube search for police simulators. 

 

Im primarily a Single Player, and while I've completed every GTA game, since it's gone 3D, I've got all versions on the console.  But don't let that fool you, I do love the PC.  Anyway this mod looks very very cool indeed, But may I ask how much work is it to get a new game to look and play like I see on YouTube.

 

it appears that everyone is using an awful lot of different mods, and I'm sure you can appreciate its rather daunting to someone coming in totally fresh like myself.

If you guys and gals don't mind, may I ask if 

 

A. This mod is worth purchasing GTA 4 for, as I already own it twice on both consoles. 

B. With GTA V now out, have I totally missed the boat.

C. Is there some megamod compilation that I can download to provide everything I need in one hit, or if not is there a definitive list of mods I need to install.

D. Any problems running this on Windows 8.1 

E. How stable is this mod in single player, I know there is quite a few crash posts but they seem to do with the multiplayer side of the mod. 

 

Basiclly, I'm after the best and most realistic police experience this mod can provide.

hope no one gets offended with me asking these questions.

 

many thanks in advance

A. I enjoy playing it quite a lot. Although, I would wait for it to go on sale, first. You can get quite a deal at certain parts of the year. 

B. I wouldn't say so. GTA V is brand new, and not many mods have been made for it yet. GTA IV has thousands and thousands of possible mods to use, making it still relevant today.

C. http://www.lcpdfr.com/topic/12353-list-of-mods-to-use-with-lcpdfr-with-links/

D. I have 8.1 but I haven't received any errors.

E. It all depends on how many mods you have in your game. I found LCPDFR 1.1 by itself is pretty stable. Once you start adding car mods, and scripts, your game is more likely to crash.

Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forums!

In answer to your questions:

A. Absolutely yes, it is worth buying (if money is an issues, you can get it from a site like G2a)
B. Nope, the boat is still very much docked - mods are still be published and discussion is still lively for GTA4
C. I don't believe there's a mega pack, but there is this thread with all the essentials condensed into: http://www.lcpdfr.com/topic/12353-list-of-mods-to-use-with-lcpdfr-with-links/
D. Apart from the inherent crashes, I have experienced no major issues running it on 8.1
E. It depends how many mods you install - the more you have, the more likely crashes are to occur

Put simply, this mod is fantastic, I and many other users have spent hours on this!

Thanks for your answers guys. 

I downloaded and installed GTA4 on Steam late last night, and installed LCPDFR, ELS 8.0 and a couple of vehicle mods. 

I must say, when it's working it is fantastic fun, just love patrolling and getting into chases.

Sadly I am getting a lot of crashes to desktop when I just get the standard GTA4 has stopped working message or a complete freeze, can hear music but can't do a darn thing apart from a hard reset. 

Not to worry to much though, hopefully a few days surfing these forums may just supply the answers I need to get her running without crashing.  But damn, what a mod. It really is all I dreamt it would be. :)

​What are your PC Specs?

Have you tried playing with the compatibility settings and running as an administrator? I know I was having similar problems until I did those things.
