File Guidelines Every part and contribution must be properly credited, and may only be used with permission granted by the author before upload. For car mods, this includes: Origin of original vehicle: Original game, and those who helped convert it. Texture creator(s). Credits for every single part (rims, computer, centre console, lightbars, lights, spotlights, antennas, etc). Descriptions must only advertise features and content present in the uploaded file. Authors using AI tools to support development or the creation of modifications must verify that all advertised features actually exist within the mod. Credits should be entirely complete. "Unknown" authors are not permitted. Credits should be posted in the "Credits" area of the upload page. If you have a text file with full credits, these should be copied to that area. "Credits included" or similar text is not sufficient. File updates must be published as updates, not brand new submissions. At least one in-game or OpenIV screenshot is required. For texture, car or ped packs, every vehicle, skin or ped must be shown in the screenshots. However, if there's one valid screenshot plus a detailed video in the description showing every component, that's generally okay. The main screenshot on any file should always depict the mod itself. Real-world images, while not prohibited if in game shots accompany them, should not be the main image. Do not upload packs containing mods not created or edited by yourself. Do not upload improper file types in the wrong categories (no weapons in vehicle models, etc.). If uploading a pack of files you made yourself, create separate submissions for each type (vehicles, weapons, etc.). When uploading texture submissions, do not include the model that they are made for (only a link instead), and include only the raw texture (in png, bmp, jpg, etc. format). Do not upload wtd or ytd files. Do not upload executable files, unless absolutely necessary. For example, you should never use a self-extracting .exe archive, or an installer, for Vehicle Models and Vehicle Textures. OIV files are okay. We typically do not permit launchers or standalone executables unless the security risk is clearly justified. Before uploading any such files, please obtain approval from management. Note that the criteria for approval are strict. Do not upload on behalf of another person -- work you upload must be contributed to in some way by yourself. If you used AI as part of your modification, you must disclosure it using the AI disclosure options. There are separate options for description, images and mod content. More information can be found here. Reviews must contain a valid review text (No "1 star" comments and so fourth). Reviews may only be made after you have downloaded and used the file. File reviews should relate directly to the item at hand. Comments written as reviews, and off topic posts, will be removed from the Reviews section of files. Do not just upload text files with a link to the file elsewhere, without prior agreement from LCPDFR.com Management. Files must be uploaded to LCPDFR.com, and cannot be simply text file links to off-site content. Contact @Cyan if your file exceeds the maximum file size, or you're having issues uploading your file. We can now increase the limit to 4GB on a per-account basis if this is needed. The following are forbidden from being uploaded to or shared on our network: Files and tools which we deem to be malicious in nature, such as spyware, adware, viruses and other inappropriate content. Game modifications or other files which interfere with or otherwise adversely affect the game or the playing experience for yourself or others. Any other content which we deem poses a threat or risk to our services, members or communities. A reminder: Our advertising guidelines We've clarified our policy on advertising on files. You can see this on the Wiki page here. Please also note that file comments are not exempt from our advertising rules either. This does not mean that you cannot ask people to reach out to you directly or through Discord for specific or complex problems, but if the answer is as long as your Discord link, you might as well post it directly. File Listings On occasion, files may be delisted if we do not think they are intended for a general audience. This can include, for example: In-jokes only relevant to a small population (e.g. a Discord server specific joke, fringe political jokes, a joke intended for another member). Files which have excessive implied profanity or implied sexual content which does not otherwise violate the Community Guidelines. April fool's content in good jest, e.g. submissions which are something else than their description applies but with no malicious intent. (we may for example delist the file post April 1st) Description/screenshots which are on the border of NSFW, for example, particularly revealing anime which is not hentai but suggestive. Delisted files will continue to be hosted and available via their direct link, but will not appear on the site via recommends, in categories, in search or in activity feeds. A file being delisted does not penalise the submitter in any way.

Gallery Guidelines Don't use the GTA IV or GTA V Categories to upload images not taken directly from GTA IV or GTA V, respectively. Images may not be edited in a way that detracts from the in-game content, but edits that enhance the in-game content is fine. For example, editing in a news overlay is fine, but editing in Darth Vader fighting on an in-game CVPI is not. Renders/ZMod screenshots may not be posted in our gallery (use forum threads instead for showcasing WIP projects). Don't use the Gallery to advertise your YouTube accounts or websites. Don't use the Gallery to direct users to download modifications from other websites. Real world images are strictly prohibited. Showing off models you have no intention of ever releasing on LCPDFR.com is prohibited. Images may be removed if they are uploaded repeatedly or if they otherwise spam/clutter the site. Images may not spam the gallery. The random gallery can be used for any game except GTA IV / GTA V.

Site Wide Guidelines Don't be abusive or discriminatory No trolling Don't post porn, nudity (partial, full, or censored), or be overly profane Only post things that contribute to the discussion at hand Do not involve money in requests - we cannot guarantee the validity of transactions and our site is not for you or others to make money from, outside of the donation function. Asking for reputation is not allowed Refrain from posting short replies such as "lol", "+1", "cool", etc. Keep the site tidy - use spoilers for logs, attach images only when needed, don't deviate from the standard font unless necessary Don't bump your threads or reply to threads older than 30 days (unless they're pinned) Do not add images to posts unless those images positively contribute to the discussion at hand No advertising of external communities or discussions/rants/drama regarding them (advertising is only permissible on your profile and signature) Don't post or share stolen mods Report all potentially infringing content - do not attempt to address it publicly Don't make or use multiple accounts Do not conduct any form of piracy (uploading original game files, sharing cracks and so on). Do not obstruct moderator investigations or otherwise interfere with the operation of the site. This includes telling other members what to do. Impersonation of any staff member is prohibited All content is subject to moderation when necessary. Content can potentially be removed at any time for any reason. Do not send members PMs asking for support. We have the forums for a reason. If you have reported something and noticed that nothing has been done about it, think about what you are reporting. It may not have been in violation of the Guidelines. Feel free to message a moderator and inquire about the report. Do not file another report. These guidelines are an easy to read abbreviation of our full Terms. They are not a substitute.
