Thanks everyone for the kind words!
 
We hope to have some more news on this soon to make reloading/testing out new models and textures even easier than currently. Stay tuned!
 
It is already available, please check the top of the forums section - you should see a new forums for Community Insiders. Feel free to PM me if you are still having issues.

Hey all, I was recently asked where someone could get the flashing LSPDFR splash screen I use in my videos recently. I decided to upload it and make it unlisted. Feel free to download it with any means you need to and use it in your videos if you want!
 
 

It's been a while since our last major update, and as you might've guessed from the title, there's a good reason for this... It has taken us a lot of work to get to this point but we can finally proudly announce our latest project: Lenny's Mod Loader.
 
Modding. Reinvented.
Most people on this forums will have had their fair share of issues when it comes to installing mods, be it that you replaced the file in the wrong place, forgot to reinstall mods after an update or just found yourself in a situation without any installation instructions at all. We aim to make this a thing of the past and focus on what modding should be: fun! With Lenny's Mod Loader you can replace files and load new mods with just a few clicks - without ever touching an RPF. Many mods, such as addon vehicles, can even be loaded directly from the website into your running game, allowing you to quickly test our new vehicles in a matter of seconds.
 
Many mods can be loaded directly into your running game - just one click away!
 
 
Release Information
Lenny's Mod Loader will be released later this year as a beta test. We are currently looking at a public release around December, but might release a little earlier if testing goes well. Being a completely new project, we would like to get in as much test coverage as possible to ensure a smooth public release. This is why we will make LML available as early access software for our Community Insiders.
 
Future Development
We are only at the beginning of our journey and there are still many things that we would like to add to Lenny's Mod Loader. Ultimately we hope to provide you with a fully-fledged user interface to easily manage your mods, all integrated into our website to make sharing and discovering new mods as easy as possible. We hope you will join and support us on our way and are looking forward to your suggestions on how we can make modding more fun for everyone!

Absolutely.
 
I don't think it'd be a bad idea. I've noticed more and more people making textures, myself included. A template with the doors might help out a lot of people (myself included, I hate doing doors) and increase the quality of skins. 
 
Keep it up, mate! 

Great tutorial, man! 
 
Having the door templates would be a pretty sweet idea, I think. 

I noticed there wasn't  a lot of new options for the community the Halloween, and knowing how YouTube can be... you really want to have New content to keep that audience retention. So here is a little demo of 3 vehicle skins! Enjoy!
 

skin for a pack I'm making for a good friend of mine:)

HAHAHA Hilarious Lundy! Sad that it needed to be said though. 

Good evening!

Just scoping out whether a SHERIFF variation of my West Buechel /Los Santos Police Department skin would be of interest for the community :)

I'm thinking Los Santos Sheriff's Department and Blaine County Sheriff's Office skins with a dark gray/black two tone look? Perhaps a solid color with the appropriate decals differentiating between the agencies. 

Yay or nay ;)

Can anyone please help make this ford explorer sound mod.. M67v found the best sounding one but no one converted it to GTAV yet.,

We designed the download system to be a bit modular that enables us to turn stuff off when there is a problem. The "Inside your File" feature has some bugs that we're ironing out and as a result we've turned it off, but once it's fixed it will return.

Good evening :)

I've been really enjoying making skins/textures for vehicles over the last couple months. It's also very gratifying to see the attention posts get when are on the "Latest Files" section under downloads. This definitely shows a higher level of traffic (+ for creator), and more people get the opportunity to see what has been posted (+ for community). Win-win for everyone! :)
 
Unfortunately I've noticed over the last few weeks there are a lot of uploads of skins/textures for individual vehicles. But then the same skin for about 4 other vehicles, also in individual uploads... so now out of the 14 spots, one person has taken up 5 "Latest Files" in a matter a an hour or so, depending on whether they completed all of them first. 

My thought is... why not put them in a pack. You'll get the same exposure as everyone else, and everyone can enjoy the "Latest Files" feature. It's discouraging to watch a file that I upload disappear off the list within a matter of hours because a few of us use it for individual files, followed by a wave of files from one or two people. 
 
Just a growing pet-peeve of mine that is becoming all too common it seems like. I realize I'm new to the environment compared to others who have been involved since GTA IV. (I joined Oct. 28th 2016), but I'd like to think we would all get better use of the features of the site if everyone respected the space? Create a skin pack for a group of vehicles and add two that upload. 

My two cents :P

Thanks,

Kahlandir

Componentpeds.img, then go to the model which to want to add textures too, like cop, fat cop, traffic cop, strooper (state trooper)

It’s spotlight time again!  Over the next few months, we’ll be sitting down with a couple of well known, and lesser known, names in the LSPDFR community.

In this edition of the Community Spotlight, we got to chat with one of the biggest names over on YouTube, SteveTheGamer55.
At the time of writing this article, SteveTheGamer55 has published 1,430 YouTube videos and has over 480,000 subscribers - insane numbers!
 
For those unaware of you who are, can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Hello, I’m a full time YouTube content creator, I started my YouTube channel about 5 years ago as a hobby and have grown over time to the point that I am at now. 
 

 
How'd you find out about LCPDFR and can you give us a rough estimate about when that was?
I found out about LCPDFR after testing the Police Pursuit Mod by Team-NeO around 5 years ago, and then soon after decided to switch to and primarily use version 0.90E of LCPDFR due to its stability. 
If I remember correctly I found out about it through a YouTube video, I was watching some videos about NYPD vehicles ported to the game and somehow stumbled across an LCPDFR gameplay, but I cannot remember who that video was by.

We were lucky enough to have you apart of our first ever LSPDFR Stream, for the release of LSPDFR 0.3, what was that like to be a part of?
That was an amazing experience, and I would love to be a part of any future live streams!

What did it feel like playing LCPDFR for the first time?
Amazing! Being in the shoes of a (digital) officer and getting a small taste of what some of them go through day to day was very new to me and a great experience to be had. Game crashes, which we all knew about very well at the time, could become a bother but never really took the fun factor out of the overall experience for me.



What was your experience like with Police Pursuit Mod compared to LCPDFR, what made you enjoy LCPDFR more? 
I have always thought that LCPDFR has been a more stable and feature rich modification, even though the team behind Police Pursuit Mod were doing some pretty neat things with their project at the time. The continuous updates and improvements to LCPDFR was really the main factor for me, and that's one of the reasons why I have stuck around here since.  
Roughly when did you start getting into YouTube/producing LC/LSPDFR videos?
I started recording videos with 0.91 back around September 2011 as a hobby and haven't stopped since. But I just recently became a full time YouTuber/content creator as of June 2016.
 

 
What made you love LC/LSPDFR so much?
I had wanted to become a cop when I was younger but just never did follow through with it since I had decided to pursue another career as a bio-medical engineer which gave me some of the best experiences in my life. Even though LCPDFR/LSPDFR was not an official game, the mod did provide one of the best police simulation experiences out there for me personally, ever since playing it for the first time I have been addicted.

What's been your favourite and/or most used vehicle to use on patrol so far?
My preferred vehicle of choice would have to be the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (CVPI), simply due to its power and durability.



You pretty well specialise in both LCPDFR and LSPDFR, how do you think LSPDFR stacks up against the original and classic LCPDFR?
Other than the crashes, I am still in love with LCPDFR due to the fact that GTA IV's location is based off of New York City, which is where I currently reside. The experience that it provides me is true to life. The experience that LSPDFR provides is similar in nature, I just can't wait to see what's in store next!
 
Anything you'd like to see added into LSPDFR next? Whether it be a feature that didn't make it to LS from LC, or something new you've thought of yourself?
One thing that would be great to see added to LSPDFR would be a way to track stats and compare them with other players, something like what used to be offered for LCPDFR back in the day, but with more detail.



What motivated you to start making LC/LSPDFR videos and what was it like starting out?
I was inspired by one of the emergency vehicle modelers of the time, GFXLE. Starting out was hard and nerve-racking as the LCPDFR/LSPDFR community is sometimes very vocal and provides a lot of valuable feedback, being new to voice overs and being in front of the microphone was also very difficult in the beginning. Over time things just become natural and you truly come to enjoy the experience.
 
How long did it take, in rough estimates to reach the one thousand subscriber milestone, also ten thousand, fifty thousand, and the most recent milestone, a whopping four hundred thousand subscribers?
In truth, I never went into it expecting to gain any following, it was all for fun. So yes, When everything began to grow at a consistent rate it was crazy to watch, and I am still amazed! I hit my first 10K Subscribers roughly one year into it, 50K in just under three years, 100K in about three and a half years, and I am where I am now with 450K+ Subscribers after around four and a half years.  

Do you play any games outside of the 'Police' genre, if so what are they?
My main focus continues to be LCPDFR, LSPDFR, and my Let's Go To Work series within the GTA franchise. Outside of that, I do sometimes play other games such as American Truck Simulator, Forza Horizon 3, Watch Dogs 2, NBA 2K17, and a handful of others when I have some free time. I absolutely hope to branch out and try some new games on my channel(s) at some point, I just want to be sure that it is something my viewers would want to see.
 


So, what's your daily schedule like now that you're full time on YouTube, does filming and editing take up most of your day?
I always try to pick a schedule that gives me the chance to have a regular lifestyle and that also allows me plenty of time to focus on creating content for YouTube. Although, some content can take many hours to produce and losing track of time is inevitable in those cases.
 
Can you let us in on some of your goals for 2017?
My primary goal for 2017 is to keep going strong at what I do and to continue uploading the best content possible for my fans, and anyone else who decides to check out my videos. 



Anything you wish to say to the community?
Sure, I would just like to say thank you to the community for providing me with this once in a lifetime experience, without your support and feedback I would not be in the position I am now. I truly hope that everyone continues to provide the valuable feedback that they do and remain engaged with me for as long as this ride lasts!



That’s it for this edition of Community Spotlight! Massive shout out and Thank You to @STEVETHEGAMER for letting us interrogate him and  @Bozza, @Mikofiticus, @Sleepwalker and @Wilson Sellars for the amazing gallery images!

Yamhill Co. Oregon?! Haha. I live in Yamhill County, and used to be a Cadet. While we don't have Tahoes, we do have a Suburban for Mac PD. That's as close as you could get. Sidenote, I think Sherman, Co. Looks a little cooler.
 
This is a pic, It appears since we're such a small county, we don't have a lot of pictures of our sheriff cars.
