I'm trying to install some cars into my police, police2, police3, and police4 slots. Police2-4 require a meta file, so I proceeded to take the, police2 and police3 lines from the vehicle folder, and copy/paste them over the police2 and police3 lines on the stock meta file (in a mods folder). I am making sure I am taking just the police2 and police3 lines. I then try to do the same for police4. The thing is the car I want in my police4 slot is "made for" the police3 slot. So I change all the vehicle model names, the VCF name, and in the meta file, I change everything that says police3 to police4, and do the whole copy/paste deal. After that, I save the meta file, and import it into my mods folder. I try to run the game, and when the loading screen says "Loading Story Mode", it crashes to desktop, and gives a crash report.

 

Is there anyone here that can see if I'm doing anything wrong? Very frustrating, because I don't want a Taurus to act like a Tahoe, a Charger to not have better acceleration, etc.

If the problem was the meta file, it'd be crashing on loading and populating world.  Are you able to load into GTA V via Steam or the GTA V.exe?

So, when I run the game thru RAGE, "Loading Story Mode", stays on the screen for about 5-6 seconds before it crashes. When I try to run GTA thru Steam, it still crashes before I get into the world.

 

if I replace the edited META file with the stock one, I can load in-game fine

Hm, replace the new meta lines with lines from vehicles that previously worked.  All you need to do is change the name and handlingid to match the vehicle you added.

Ok. I think that was my issue. Right before you responded, I changed the "modelName", "txdName", and "gameName" to police4. "handlingId" is still POLICE. If I change the handlingId to police4, the game crashes. I guess my taurus is going to handle like a CVPI. I can change the handling id to anything put police4. if any car has police4 as it's handling id, it crashes

Change the handlingid to POLICE3.  The police3 is GTA 5's version of the Taurus anyway,
