Right, you are extracting the carvariations.meta from mpluxe2, removing the corboxville, saving, and putting it back, thus restoring the file to it's original condition. Then you're taking the current carvariations.meta from mpchristmas2, adding the corboxville, saving, and putting it back into mpchristmas2. That is what I said above, sorry if it's worded confusingly. ;)

Actually, you probably don't want to put the carvariations.meta file meant for mpluxe2 into mpchristmas2. The problem is that mpluxe2 after the newest update doesn't seem to work for addon vehicles anymore. Just extract the carvariations.meta file from mpluxe2 and cut this out: Then save it, and reinsert it back into mpluxe2. Extract the carvariations.meta from mpchristmas2 and after <variationData> paste the cut you just took from mpluxe2 above. Save it, and put it back in mpchristmas2

Edit: Follow the instructions below.

Do this: Export your current saloon_7_us_v8.awc as openFormats to a blank folder with OpenIV. In that folder, replace all the files in \saloon_7_us_v8 folder with the .wav files from the crown vic sound mod you're installing. Now with OpenIV reimport the .oac file from said folder. That should be all you need to do as the latest OpenIV update fixed the issue with importing the sound files.

Here's a short video I made after using my instructions to import the sirens... as John23 stated if necessary I can make an installation video, but if you do exactly as I said, it works.

Odd, I just tested it following the procedure I outlined with a fresh unmodded RESIDENT.rpf, and everything worked beautifully. I'm not sure why it's not working for you.

Thanks, I understood your instructions (mostly) but you know, sometimes you gotta make things really simple. Was nice of you to help and offer to make a video though.

@SheriffDandy For those having trouble, I've simplifed the instructions that @John23 posted. Do this: Export your current vehicles.awc as openFormats to a blank folder with OpenIV. In that folder, replace all the files in \vehicles with the .wav files from the siren mod you're installing. Now with OpenIV reimport the .oac file from said folder. That should be all you need to do as the latest OpenIV update fixed the issue with importing the sound files.

Pretty sure for sirens it's PostFX that needs to be on very high or ultra, not texture quality.

Make sure <sirenSettings value="2"> for whatever vehicle you replaced.

Strange, never seen the issue myself, but I don't use a partner too often.

Yeah, check the readmes of this mod.

Not sure if it's related, but I see Vehicle Search warnings before the pedsearch crash. There is a newer version of Vehicle Search. I know using that and pedsearch, I'm not experiencing any issues.
