Please dont call me a dweeb, I know its probably something very little that I am doing wrong.

 

 

So I am trying to replace the police cars the AI uses to the ones provided here

 

http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/file/18857-los-santos-police-service-mega-pack-els/

 

So I do all the file replacing that I was told to do (vehicles.meta, carcols.ymt, carvariations.meta)

 

then I replace the original police car files with the ones provided, I replace all of them, the yfts the the ytds, and I double click on the files after replacing them, and they look perfect.

 

The problem comes when I boot up the game and I add a few stars to myself. The police come in the default police vehicles.

 

What am I doing wrong?

What location did you install them to? I suggest installing them to the latest patchday (patchday17) and it should work. Some tutorials will say patchday3 or patchday4, but it's easier just to put them all in the latest one.

 

Latest one is patchday 18 just fyi

I only have 17 in mine lol

Im so dumb I didnt know it overides the models if you put it in the latest patchday, thanks anyways guys!

Don't worry about it! I was the same way when I started a few months back.
