i downloaded BXbugs cvpi and UMcvpi they work awesome in game but the default Liveries show up...i go to open IV and it shows my skins i put in? lost as to how and where its overwriting them

they are there ingame. easiest way to get to them is from simple native trainer in the vehicle options there is a tab called 'liveries' or something along the sorts. another way is when picking the car in the lspdfr police station garage hit enter when you have that police car selected which will cycle through paint jobs, instead of hitting left or right to select new cars. its also possible that your carvariations.meta has a limited number of liveries set to that vehicle. there should be a bunch of lines of code along the lines of this, one 'true' for each livery available.

I'm still not sure about that myself. I swear that I see a variety of liveries spawned on vehicles even with only one color item entry.

Did you put his vehicles in patchday3 for the sheriff model and x64e for the unmarked? If so, try looking in patchday8, that's where I found his vehicles (both sheriff and police4) and only then my textures I wanted in game actually showed up when I replaced those models.
