All cars despawn, and weapons are unselectable. It's been suggested it because they want to keep the three "hidden" vehicles a secret, but that'd be pointless when OpenIV can view the files anyways.

Oh my god... First they stopped adding the vehicles to the player's garage in singleplayer and now they completely block them? -.-
Why. Just.. why. (I could imagine that they do it so the players can't have a look at the cars in SP first before buying in Online.)

Though I'm sure that someone is going to extract all the stuff and make an addon-pack so we can install the cars a second time and actually have them usable in SP.

I forgot all about them not adding some of the recent ones to the garage list altogether.

It seems as simple as renaming the vehicle models will bypass the scripts that are causing it, but I don't know about weapons. Apparently the Revolver and Switchblade also do not save in characters inventories, and I guess are not available at Ammunation either.

So it looks like not only is R* probably not going to bother with SP DLC, they're going to slowly force new content to be Online only if this trend doesn't reverse.

Isn't the DLC intended to be MP only anyway?

Sadly, yes. As I said, they used to also implement this to SP (cars available in player's garage, weapon in the inventory right away) but at some point they stopped it and made it MP only.

They would go out of the way to do this because?

Do they not realise that modders will and already have in 24 hours managed to get them to spawn?

Its like building a fort out of cardboard and hoping that it will stop a tank shell from penetrating it

OMG YOU GUYS THEY ADDED NEW LOWRIDERS! I GOTTA BUY MORE SHARK CARDS RIGHT NAOW!

Kill me.

I hate how Rockstar have been treating their modding communities, without modding, GTA on PC would not be half as popular as it is currently, I detest what they have done with this, and how, for people playing singleplayer, they've made it completely impossible to use THEIR OWN CONTENT, WHICH THEY ADDED!

I think that is the point. They created it. They own it. We can't really dictate what Rockstar does with that. Is it a bit strange? Sure! But it's MP only content, which is their decision to make.

I know, but I really hate the way they're kind of hiding it behind the online paywall. I mean, I really like the new content, but I hate the way it's MP only, it seems really goddamn scummy to me.

It's not like I agree with it, but it is their choice. Modding is a very small percentage for them, and as such they have no need to cater the game for modders either.
