I'm new to modding and I've got most of it down. I've successfully downloaded LSPDFR and a lot of Albo's plugins but one thing I can't get down are vehicle mods. I've looked at countless tutorials including Jeff's and Steve's videos, but I just can't get vehicle mods to work. I've tried everything, done exactly what all the readme's say and they just won't work. I can't even get vehicle skin/liveries. Anyone have any advice?

If you've read and watched all the tutorials but still can't get it, you're doing something wrong.  I'd triple check your steps.

 

What is the process you're doing?  Type it out.

Ok, so for starters I've tried to install the Impala that Jeff used as an example, It was a replacement for the police2 slot. I looked at all the readme's and did what they said; The vehicles model and textures went into x64e>levels>gta5>vehicles. I replaced both the ytd and ytf closed OpenIV, opened it back up and opened police2, The impala is fully modeled and the textures look proper. Next is the carvariations the read me says to go to:GTA V/update/x64/dlcpacks/mpchristmas2/dlc.rpf/common/data and replace the current carvariations.meta with the one provided in the mod. step two done. that should be it for the impala right? I don't care about the liveries right know as it comes with some. The only issue is when I load in, and use simple trainer to spawn police2, its still the default car. I really appreciate the help.

Maybe try putting the vehicle in the latest patchday. You may be putting it in the game and then it's getting overwritten by a latter patch/dlc.

 

Place the ytd and yft files in update/x64/dlcpacks/patchday18ng/dlc.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf

and see if it then shows up in game.

You were right for the first part, but not the second.  Always use the newest patchday and only the newest patchday.

Thanks

Ill try it
