The way I approached LSPDFR was to go one step at a time. Of course other than a few FPS mods, I was fairly new to modding when I installed LSPDFR. But I knew I wanted go slow so that when the inevitable crash came, i didn't have a tangled web to unwind. 100% agree with Kallus Rourke, you can't go wrong with Albo's mods, especially since most are essential to RP / immersion. I have them all installed. I also have a hand full of callout packages installed along with a visual mod, siren mod and character mod. And with the exception of a couple of slots, I replaced all the law enforcement cars in the game. The other thing I did religiously was watch YouTubers play the game with mods I was interested in. They give great real time feedback on mods after the install them, But like I said earlier, I went one by one. I installed and played that mod our used that car for a long session. If I didn't run into any issues, I built on top of that. Welcome to the LSPDFR community!

Hi, my name is thecove and I am a non-els holdout.... This was a great discussion. I read through the chain and nice to see some of the model makers on here discussing the pros and cons of ELS. If any of you have read my reviews / comments, I follow the KISS philosophy when modding my game, (Keep It Simple Stupid). I really take my time before adding a mod to my game, reading reviews, comments and watching YouTubers use the mods before I add anything to my game. When ELS first released, I saw some of the things mentioned above that I wasn't ready to deal with so that kept me from being an early adopter. And this is probably a big reason why I'm hesitant to change my fleet to ELS. I've painstakingly pieced together my fleets : model by model, skin by skin, meta by meta; department by department : LSPD (city), SAHP (state) and LSCS (full map is county). With the help of the some of the larger skin packs, each department is uniform and it really helps the immersion in my mind. I'm just not ready to start over. And having just added EUP to my game, I'm having a blast creating different characters in various levels of their careers and RPing through that. I've got my game in a good spot, able to get 2+ hr sessions in until good old GTA memory suck begins to drop frames and create terrible draw in distance. But I completely agree with an earlier post that there is still a lot of non-ELS choice out there, in fact I upgraded my FPIU fleet to Hurks 2016 FPIU pack the other day (it took a little trouble shooting to get right. At some point, I will convert, no-doubt because there are things I want in my game, especially environment lighting and control of light patterns. That's the beauty of modding, you tune your game to your tastes. Great topic.

Hi All, So I'm at my wits end here. Prior to updating to the latest RPH and GTAV, all the vehicles lights were working perfectly. I'm not running ELS and every car I have in my game are non-ELS cars. After updating, I reinstalled RadianceV and my vehicles and carvariance metas. However, I noticed the lights for my Police3 vehicle were broken, the lights in the light bar were dim and the lights were flashing outside of the lightbar, around the vehicle. FYI - the vehicle is the 2013 Ford Explorer from TheHurks CHP Mega Pack. But I figured that's okay, I wanted to upgrade my FPIUs to 2016 models and downloaded TheHurks 2016 FPIU pack (non-els) and installed into Police3. I swapped out the Police3 vehicles meta with the lines that TheHurk supplied and used the carvariations lines for Police3 that TheHurk supplied Still the same issue, see images below: This issue is only affecting cars in my Police3 slot, I dropped a charger into the slot, thinking that a sedan might work correctly, to no avail. All other cars in all my other slots are working perfectly. TheHurk and I believe something happened in the update since this is only affecting my Police3 slot. Any help or ideas are truly welcome. Thanks to anyone that can help. My carvariation meta is here:
