I'm not sure if this is possible but it would be nice to be able to download a complete LSPDFR setup with all of the popular mods and vehicles/audio/peds already installed. Maybe just by sharing your game directory. It seems lately that I've been spending more than half of my time just trying to get all the mods installed and playing the game less and less. 

It's really become such a burden to keep every mod updated and to change out vehicles for the proper slots, etc.. 

Has anyone tried this? Would anyone else be interested? I'm sure there are a lot of people that have perfected their setup, it would be nice if there was a way to share them with a simple drag and drop.

This sounds like it could be a really cool concept, especially for those who don't like taking the time to make their own custom setup. With the OpenIV packages, I bet this could be easily done.It would take five clicks to install an entire department.

Even though I agree that some sort of game sharing alternative would be pretty cool, changing your files is just a part of modding. The more custom you want your game, the more you'll have to do man. This is why I will never reinstall the game. For one, the game takes forever to install. Then I've got to put each mod in one by one. From cars to guns, sirens, weapons, peds, traffic mods, scripts. Then I've got to edit the individual settings for every single file to my liking; and to make matters even worse, I use a controller. So I've got to change the controls to be compatible with my controller, and keys are conflicting all over the place. I find myself constantly going in and out of the game, adding and removing things after patrols as I see fit. It's just something you'll have to deal with bro.

This is not something we'd allow, as it would mean re-uploading of mods. As TheDivineHustle said, modding is part of the experience and it is next to impossible to create what you say.

I get that re-uploading mods is an issue that would need to be overcome but I don't agree that "modding is part of the experience" is a very good counterargument.

Maybe the real problem here is that there are hardly any standards among each mod and updating each one is still a very manual process. I don't think people really enjoy downloading 50 different files, dragging them all to different directories, trying to set keybindings, fix errors, etc...

The real problem is probably not having a "package of mods" but rather LSPDFR setting better standards so that modding is less of a chore.

Things like

- 1 click / auto updates

- Standard call out menus 

- Standard keybindings

Right now it seems like things are such a mess that it makes the game that much less enjoyable. In game play, I'm constantly having to stop and guess which key it was that ends a callout, or opens the call out menu. Was it F5? Or F9? Was it "T" to talk to the ped or "Y"? Was there a key modifier? Then you have two menus from different call outs opening on top of each other.

I could spend a few hours trying to find unique keys for everything but the next time there is an update I'll have to do that all over again.

Something that I would like to see is increased collaboration between mod creators. We don't really need four different calls for a prostitution sting. 

We are starting to see that with things like update manager and albo's troubleshooter.... I would love to share my setup with the world
