INTRODUCTION: I like to play as SAHP more than any other agency, and after a while, the lack of a dedicated SAHP station makes the experience feel quite unimmersive—especially when using LSPDFR Enhanced/Extended. After searching on the internet for stations to download, none of them satisfied me (either too basic/unimmersive or too complex (e.g., poorly mapeditor/menyoo autoloads, FIVEM, extra dlcprops, paywalled)). So I started making my own ones. I took the Davis station as a base and remodeled it to better fit the SAHP aesthetic—removing unnecessary assets, resizing elements, adding blue window bars, SAHP logos, flags, some vegetation, and additional props to enhance realism. I usually play around the east side of the map, and after searching for a suitable location, I found an empty lot in Paleto Bay that seemed perfect. This location also provides flexibility in choosing which direction (east or west) to patrol to. WHAT'S NEW IN V2.7?: Reworked Parking Lot. Remodeled and fixed glitched polygons, custom HD textures with terrain blending, more decals, one more parking slot. Also improved the backyard/doghouse area. Added a custom edited security hut model (scale, textures, door, collisions) as an access control. Fully enhanced with props. Improved the stations banner, resized and added holes to match the hanging ropes. Beautified a lot of props and areas around the station. Hotfix 29/03/2025: Updated the dropoff location due to conflict with the booth. Now is: <DropOffPosition>-281.25f, 6127.16f, 31.31f</DropOffPosition> HOW TO INSTALL: Drop bpsahp folder in mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/ Add this line as the last item in mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/dlclist.xml: <Item>dlcpacks:/bpsahp/</Item> LSPDFR Station functionalities (Optional) (skip if updating): Add these lines to \Grand Theft Auto V\lspdfr\data\stations.xml in order to have LSPDFR station functionalities: <Station> <Name>Paleto Bay SAHP Station</Name> <Agency>sahp</Agency> <ScriptName>pbsahp</ScriptName> <Position>-289.5428f, 6120.8761f, 31.5151f</Position> <Heading>110</Heading> <CamPointOffset>-17f, -43f, 3f</CamPointOffset> <CamEndOffset>10f, -5f, 1f</CamEndOffset> <DropOffPosition>-281.25f, 6127.16f, 31.31f</DropOffPosition> <GaragePosition>-299.21f, -6131.80f, 31.50f; 121.31</GaragePosition> <GarageSpawnPosition>-297.41f, 6132.11f, 31.49f; 279.8097</GarageSpawnPosition> </Station> Skaters spawning in lot fix + Hwaycops ped ambient spawn. (Optional) (if updating replace cluckin_bell.ymt to add extra hwaycop in hut): Replace cluckin_bell.ymt in mods/update/update.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/scenario/ Add (not replace) the line bellow in mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/ai/ambientpedmodelsets.meta: (if you already have done this from any of my other SAHP station mods, then it's already done, skip it) <Item type="CAmbientModelSet"> <Name>SAHP</Name> <Models> <Item> <Name>s_m_y_hwaycop_01</Name> <Variations type="NULL"/> <Probability value="1.000000"/> </Item> </Models> </Item> KNOWN ISSUES & TROUBLESHOOTING Stop The Ped Conflict (Jail Drop-Off) Issue: Stop The Ped overrides LSPDFR’s jail drop-off system, making it non-functional with any new/custom station. Solution: Use the Arrest Manager plugin to add extra jail drop-off locations. Simply call for transport or use the nearby Sheriff Station for processing. Crash when nearing the station Cause: It happens because the game tries to call the added "SAHP" peds but they don't exist (aren't added). Can be due to installing a mod that replaces ambientmodelsets.meta therefore removing the added code for SAHP peds, or the existance of another new ambientmodelsets.meta that is loaded after this one Fix: Add the SAHP peds code in the last loading ambientmodelsets.meta or use the original cluckin_bell.ymt (backup provided in the .rar). FUTURE PLANS (TBD) Remove litter and grass props. Improve LODs. Add nighttime window emissions. Make an installer. Make spawned cars not stealable. Just had a carjacking event lol. Add interiors. 25/03/2025: I've made a garage interior and also have an office interior to add in. But I don't know how to activate the garage mlo once the player has selected vehicle and tp'd there via lspdfr (tping above a portal doesn't work), or to make it exterior but need to remove the original props (weeds) first that spawn inside without copying the whole rpf (3gb) to mods folder. Editing the props in hei_cs1_06_strm_2.ymap (and also it's LOD versions) directly and copying them into the dlc makes the hd/stream ymap not load while all area goes to a LOD level, editing using guid from my custom ymaps does't work either. Any advise will be helpful, until then I'm stuck and holding the new update/release. CHECK OUT MY OTHER STATION Whatever question, request or advise, feel free to share as everything can be improved (read TBD). Thanks.

INTRODUCTION: Sandy Shores feels small. And, for me, it's too small to be patrolling there for too long. After searching and downloading many different Sandy Shores map mods, I wasn't satisfied with any of them. The authors added buildings that seemed quite off: no props, no fences, no cars, or any signs around them; types of buildings that seemed out of place (houses that looked like they were from the GTA3 beta, others very polygonal with walls painted like in The Sims 2, none showing any signs of wear, suddenly expensive houses between shacks and dirt, buildings from another city, etc.). All of this broke my immersion. So, I decided to make my own. I managed to literally copy the already existing buildings in Sandy Shores and paste them into the many lots available for housing in the town, while also slightly extending the area near the Motel. For now, there are 24 added same-style homes that visually bring more life and density while maintaining immersion. HOW TO INSTALL: Drop the sandyplus2 folder into (mods/update/x64/dlcpacks) Open/Edit the dlclist.xml file located in: (mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/) Add the following line to the end of the DLC list: <Item>dlcpacks:/sandyplus2/</Item> EXTRA: INCREASE SANDY SHORES POPULATION (PEDS & CARS): Navigate to: (mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/levels/gta5/popcycle.dat) Customize the SANDY_SHORES settings. If you want to double the population, multiply each value in the columns (#Peds, #Scenario, #Cars, #prkdcrs) by 2. Each column represents a 2-hour time block (e.g., the first column is 12-2 AM, the second column is 2-4 AM, etc.), covering 24 hours in 12 columns. Note: Each value represents the percentage drawn from the base population preset in the gameconfig data. You can use my setup as an example: K9 SHEPHERD MODEL You can often see the shepherd model spawning around, if you have this model edited for k9 you can replace the spawn of this model for the whole game in ambientpedmodelsets. Navigate to mods/update/update.rpf/common/data/ai/ambientpedmodelsets and look for this item and replace the model. <Item type="CAmbientModelSet"> <Name>ANIMAL_DOG_SHEPHERD</Name> <Models> <Item> <Name>A_C_Rottweiler</Name> <Variations type="NULL"/> <Probability value="1.000000"/> </Item> ISSUES: Some buildings have low LODs and disappear when viewed from very far away. This will be fixed in the next update. NEXT STEPS: Add more buildings other than residences (shops, offices, workshops, amenities, etc.). Add emissions. Replace abandoned/ruined buildings with new habitable ones. Extend the town further west, near the gas station. Replace/Add more building variety. Beautify the already added residences. Optionally add a rework/enhancement to the sheriff station. Make an installer.
