I really wish EUP cops looked bulkier. The models/uniforms are therefore dated but still cool. It was fun to make. Hope to improve as I create more.

If you have been playing this game as long as I have you have probably arrested everybody in the city by now. Some twice. These days I am making little humor bits out of staged scenes. Enjoy.

LSPDFR 4.08 -LOVE IT! ...all is well expect for some annoyances that I can't sort out, so ... lil help? The game stops recording when I use the default keys for STP and UB. Even stops on the default key for stopping suspect. (E). I have been playing this cop sim for a few years.. this is a new issue... I am stumped. Any tips?

I found my custom LAPD versions of "s_m_y_cop_01"/ "s_f_y_cop_01". Also shown to where to edit ".xml files" (of said models) so that responding officers wear the same LAPD uniform. All good. ...mostly. The officers of color in short sleeves all have default forearms. Thoughts?

Trying to learn how to create a new agency in order to enjoy my LAPD cops as a single player. Yes I can spawn the model afterward, but there must be a way to edit textures for security guard. The guard model is also used by the game as the Port Authority Cop. ....watch this minute long video. ....What's not to love?

At the end of the day, I want to play LSPDFR 0.4 as LAPD... stand alone... single player. Now comes the hassle of properly deleting EUP files from my MODS folder. Miss one and the whole game goes sour. OR..... Modify the Los Santos Port Authority Police officer. Locate the PAP model files. (the policeport texture files), copy back the dss file and edit it in Photoshop. Swap out the Port Authority badge with an authentic LAPD badge, and black out the shoulder patches. Save texture file as a .PNG file. Replace that file. Add to the realism with a proper "Sam Brown". complete with silver snaps and detailed walkie talkie. To be found in an "acc_diff_000" file. The agency would remain PAP in name only. OR.... you could edit it's name in the menu.xml. I am still stumped as to where the PAP files are in my mods' freemode files.... or are they?

What drew me to this LSPDFR was the authenticity. It's visual realism. Now things are wonky. ...for me. Here's the deal. I have a custom LAPD cop (male/female). I am rolling with LAPD units, as well. Thanks to some VERY SMART folks (here in the community) I am ale to have sorted out getting the LAPD characters to play in LSPDFR 0.4 with EUP. One trades up in the trainer. The caveat is that you can't enjoy the custom characters within EUP due to geometry of the model's apparel. And then I remembered something. My custom cops are build on the PAP model. (Port Authority Police) That means, All one needs to do is swap out the badge, the belt textures, etc. IT IS FORBIDDEN TO GO ONLINE WITH CUSTOM GOODS. Therefore, playing off line would begin with making a back up of "eup_componentsped.rpf". This is where I need help. Do you know where the PAP officer bits can be located "mp_m_freemode_01" folders?

LSPDFR 0.4 hurt my feelings when I found that I could not put my custom LAPD cops back in the game. However, it appears that if you are adept enough, one might be able edit the EUP accs and task files. The question is, where ARE those files? All I know at this point is that they are in EUP's mp_m_freemode_01_male file folders. In the process of finding them, now. As I have said before, I am NEW at GTA V/LSPDFR having only played and mod'ed it for the past 3 years. Sure, these changes are a challenge and maybe that's the fun in this issue. The challenge to solve it! This is what my cops looked like in the days of LSPDFR 0.3.1. The video was an exercise scene editing. Run Time 5:36

I have always played as single player. custom LAPD cars/cops. All great models. looks like I will need EUP if i want my LAPD uniforms back. I can use my custom cars but not LAPD uniform. Based on GTA V cop. Will EUP allow me to use that uniform?

....moving on to the next item that is tripping me up. That is, having my custom LAPD cop / uniform appear in my AGENCY selections. Turns out the game is drawing the cop model/uniform from one of the x64 folders within GTA V and not the MODS folder. Therefore, basic cops appear as LAPD, but your character and other LSPDFR related AI officers are decked out in default GTA apparel. I have read through the existing XML files (openIV) but I don't see a path to "s_m_y_cop_01" anywhere. Any tutorials on how to use the CUSTOM folder?

Try this... In my case, LSPDFR 0.4 only wants UPDATE folder in MODS folder. Nothing else. I ran RPH without auto load LSPDFR to see how game would play with MY custom cars in place. Game plays fine.. F4, loadplugin lspdfr first response dll... IT WORKS! .... alas you begin as a cop where you stand - not in your crib. Still to be resolved is getting my custom LAPD uniforms to work with LSPDFR 4.0. I need to find our where it is pulling the default game cop from. Is this where CUSTOM folder comes into play? More reading and question asking....

SOLVED! LSPDFR 0.4 only wants UPDATE folder in MODS folder. Nothing else. I deleted x64 folder. I ran RPH without auto load LSPDFR to see how game would play with MY custom cars in place. Game plays fine.. F4, loadplugin lspdfr first response dll... IT WORKS! .... alas you begin as a cop where you stand - not in your crib. I am going to re-config RPH to auto load it now. ALL COMMENTS helped me understand how to work this out!

I do thank you for this but I have been changing cars via MODS folder for years. In prep for 0.4, I deleted all plugins and deleted the original MODS folder. I loaded 0.4 via set up, not manually. I then reloaded RPH. Scripthook V - v1.0.1604.1 GTA V is retail and up to date. Game plays fine. So, to put my custom things (cars/officers) I created a new one and pasted in the UPDATE & x64 folders. Added the files. No different than before. However, it appears that as long as a MODS folder exists (for me) with - UPDATE & x64 folders - LSPDFR freezes GTA V as it attempts to load. Thoughts on what I may have missed?

LSPDFR 4.0 has me confused. I am using a vanilla retail version that works just great with LSPDFR 4.0 but missing the coolness of my LAPD cars, their ELS radiance and the authentic LAPD officers in my collection. Can anyone please tell me how to replace game version police cars, etc with what I used with 3.0?

I felt the best course of action was to delete all the 3rd party plugins and the MOD folder. (wow, did THAT free up HD space!) 0.4 installed and configured. The game plays as it should. Bare bones. No radiance enhancements, etc. Now, I await tutorials on how to put my LAPD cars and LAPD cop uniform back in the game. As well as plugins updated for 0.4. Looks like a whole new learning curve to MOD this game. Dang! - Just got the hang of 0.3 modding. I am a 3 year player - having never played this type of game before. But I am VERY literate with my computer. So show me once and I am good to go - you know?

I have a clean retail version of GTA V running LSPDFR 0.3. Before I change up, am I to dump all my Albo1125 plug in's, etc and delete the Mod folder with all my sweet LAPD units & cop uniforms? ("update" and "x64" folders) I am good with that - IF we can put them back. ...Can yah?

Issue resolved! GTA V screen resolution was set to a config that Adobe PP didn't like. Reset to a conventional setting and all good again.

This issue presented itself about a month ago. Hate it when I get stumped. I am all up to date on this WIN7 64bit. So why is that the latest version of "GTA V / Rock Star Editor" rendered videos crash adobe Premiere Pro. Cs5? Three edits max and 'crash'. The crash faults" ImageRenderer.dll". Gimme a hint?

Somewhere in the game proper's X64 folder must reside the cop who seen in the station berating a "suspect" against the wall with the city seal. His is the only uniform that will not pick up the edits I have done to textures. Where is he hiding?
