I'm trying to install cars and following so many videos, but I'm confused.

 

Do I put them into the newest patchday folder? Or a specific one? I have ELS installed. And Simple Trainer. But I can't see the vehicles in the spawn list. And how can I add them to slots? Or overwrite other vehicles?

Disclaimer: Ensure you put all replacement cars inside the MODS folder of OpenIV... if you place them outside of the mods folder it will cause your game to crash you will have to do a fresh install of GTA V.

 

When playing LSPDFR this is where I put my cars and they appear in the garage (expect for police4, which you have to manually spawn)

 

police, police2, and police3: All cars spawn in police garage

OpenIV > GTA V > mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday4ng > dlc.rpf > x64 > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf

 

Police4: You must manually spawn car by hitting "F4" and type "Spawn police4"

OpenIV > GTA5 > mods > x64e > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf

 

fbi & fbi2: Cars will spawn in police garage

OpenIV > GTA V > mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday11ng > dlc.rpf > x64 > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf

 

sheriff & sheriff2: Cars will spawn in police garage

OpenIV > GTA V > mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > patchday3ng > dlc.rpf > x64 > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf

 

pranger: Car will spawn in police garage

OpenIV > GTA5 > mods > x64e > levels > gta5 > vehicles.rpf

So they need to go in specific patch day folders?

As far as I know... yes I always put them in the folders I listed. I know some many say "Place in patchday21" but I never do that.. I always put them in the folders I know they work in.

You need to show how you get all that stuff. Its really confusing.

They say to put it in the latest patchday.  The game reads the vehicles installed from the latest patchday to the oldest.  Oldest being patchday1 and the latest being patchday23 I think.  I think there is a police2 or police3 in a patchday1, patchday3 or patchday4 for example.  The game is going to pull the vehicle from, for example, patchday4 instead of patchday1 because patchday4 is the latest.  So if there there is a police2 in patchdays 1 and 4, the game will take the vehicle from patchday4 since it is the latest.  If you put the police2 in the latest patchday23 then it will pull the police vehicle (police2 for example)  from patchday23 instead of patchday4 or patchday1.  Hope you followed all that.  Yeah, it is confusing.  I have had a problem with the first police vehicle where it would not show up in game unless i put it in the x64e.rpf file.  I had to copy the x64e.rpf to the mods folder because you don't want to make changes to those types of files in the Main GTAV folder.  The full path is x64e.rpf/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf.  There you can drop your replacement vehicles in there if they don't show up in game when you drop them into the patchdays folders.  At least that is what I had to do to the Police,Taxi,Train,Bus vehicles when I replaced them.  I don't know why, but that worked for me. 

 

If you are doing ADD-ON vehicles, that is a lot more complicated.  I suggest using Lenny's Mod Loader (LML) or Albo's Modding DLC.  I use Albo's because I haven't tried Lenny's yet. 

HAHA, I just noticed after typing all that, this is an old post.  Well, there you go.  😆

Wow that was very helpfull thank you!
