Thank You Mod developers - Each and every one of you!


Recommended Posts

I just wanted to give my sincere thank you to everyone in this fine community...especially those here who have developed mods and continue to develop and improve mods for LSPDFR. Yes I have said this in a separate post shortly after I joined the community. Why do I feel the need to say it again? For one, because I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work. However, there is a much deeper and more personal reason for this post. 

just a short 6 months ago I got back into PC gaming, and instantly became fascinated with LSPDFR. GTA V is by far my favorite game. The addition of LSPDFR, and all that goes with it has turned a great game in a never ending world I can use to fuel my hobby of making gaming videos, to escape to for stress relief after a rough day, and to customize my GTA V experience into something as unique and individual as I am. At the time, my life had taken a great turn for the better after enduring more than a decade of some of the craziest, most insane things for someone to live through. I suffered through depression, self doubt, and in fact several time I came close to just ending it all. But I survived, and came through it stronger and a better man for it all. 

Everything was looking up, and things had improved greatly. I was no longer a slave to my thought and emotions, no longer held down by the struggle of life. I had beaten down severe depression and came out the other side victorious. I had turned a seasonal job into a career, began working to become an auxiliary officer with my local PD and there is no need to say I was feeling extremely blessed, proud of myself and proud of my accomplishments. I no longer hated the man in the mirror. Things were great and I felt once again like superman. 

Recently, I had gotten really sick. The doctor said it was a viral respiratory infection (something I have had several times in my life), but something was not right. It was not the same this time it was different. Then began the tests, blood work, mri's and more. Health issues began adding up, the more they looked to try and figure out things, the worse the news got. two weeks ago, I was told that I am facing cancer. Granted I do not have cancer yet, but just like the perfect conditions to spawn an f5 tornado, so it is with my potential cancer. Any time now, it could hit and hit hard and fast.

45 years old and staring down cancer....F#$% Me. 

As the last two weeks have progressed, it has become apparent that something is seriously wrong here. my energy levels have dropped significantly, I m find myself ever tired, constant headaches and muscle aches. I am not currently fit for duty with my local PD  so that is on hold. I have had to step down from the manager position I worked so very hard to achieve. I find I have more and more days spent home recovering from a treatment or testing, etc. I lose sleep wondering how I will handle everything for my family and my job. Id be lying if I disagreed that life has turned a slightly darker shade of grey. Dont get me wrong here, I am blessed and happy to be alive. I have a great wife and kids, Some great friends in the department, amazing employers and co workers and the few brothers in my gaming crew who are so supportive and help keep my spirits up as I move forward through this newest life trial. I am in no way whining or feeling sorry for myself. I am not seeking sympathy or heavy hearts. I am happy for every day I get to live, love and laugh. 

Why am I sharing this on a modding forum? because I wanted to express my gratitude to the mod developers for creating something I can immerse myself in to forget these issues and continue to enjoy life on my worst of days. You mods and scripts give me something very enjoyable and constructive to do with my recovery/downtime and idle hands. It helps me relax and stress less over what I am facing. 

Sam, LMS, Albo, Buggs, Virzza, Finkone, Stray, Hurk, Alex, Stealth22, Gravel road cop;  I literally could make a list of these guys a mile long here and probably still not cover every who contributes so unselfishly to this community. Thank you all from the bottom of my old rebel heart for what you do. All the long hours, hard work and seemingly endless energy to continually develop and update these mods so guys like me can enjoy them. You never expect a dime for it. You are all class acts in my book. I thank you guys in my videos frequently.. not because I am trying to be something I am not, or give the internet a false identity rather because I just a normal down to earth country boy truly am in awe and words are insufficient to accurately portray my gratitude. 

I thank you graciously for reading the book I have written here. I hope this post will serve as an example and testament of how awesome this community is. I will continue to support this community with every once of energy I can muster, and spread the word about the mods you all create and this great community here. 

Thank You, Thank You. Thank You.

Hey!

It's massively sad to hear that just after conquering your demons and starting to enjoy life as everyone should and deserves to that you've been hit with yet another obstacle in your life. It's incredibly inspiring and uplifting to hear someone who has been faced with very daunting prospects to speak so positively about things, this post has given me a drive to not only continue to work on my mods and make them the best they can be but also make myself the best that I can be and settle for nothing less. 

I think I can speak on behalf of the LSPDFR community when I say we are right behind you with whatever battle you may face and thank you for your kind words. If you need anything I know am I always a PM away and I'm sure that many others will also be willing to help you if need.

Best wishes,

Scott
