Hey guys, I've never actually commented on any LSPDFR thread, although I believe now is as important a time as ever since we're on the topic of negativity. I completely agree with everyone above's comments about how the negativity is just too harsh, and agree with what Sam said. If the devs of any mod were to give up whenever negative comments stack up, we wouldn't have any mods. I remember when LSPDFR .4 came out, the TERRIBLE criticism the devs got for updating it. I agree, LSPDFR .3 was working great, and when LSPDFR .4 came out it comparably had a few more problems. But I never complained or got mad, because without experimenting and taking the risk of trying, we wouldn't even have new mods or any updates for LSPDFR. Sometimes people will become so selfish that they forget the HUGE FAVOR the devs are doing for us. They don't have to do any of this and you could not have a single thing but the base game to play. But it's because of these peoples devotion and commitment that people like you and me can come home from work or whatever you do everyday and unwind and enjoy GTAV w/LSPDFR. That being said, I couldn't imagine pouring all my free time into something not only for myself but for others to enjoy.  To have someone who's only been modding for a week give you a 1 star review and complain because they most likely don't know how to install the mod and now it doesn't work. That would be VERY discouraging. I just feel sorry for these guys. It was said above they work so hard, and all they ask for is appreciation. Instead of appreciation they just get criticism for things people believe should be done differently, or just because they likely have conflicting mods or a bad install and it doesn't work for them. Just a shame. To all those out there who spend their time working hard to ensure we all have a fun time playing GTAV, thank you. I, along with the large majority of others on here, greatly appreciate everything yall do, and your work is very valued. I honestly have been playing GTA since the 3d era, and I have never had as fun an experience with the game as I have playing LSPDFR. All of your hard work is VERY appreciated by almost everyone, it's just a few unappreciative bad apples who complain and ruin it for everyone. I also agree that people under a week, maybe even a month, should not be able to leave reviews because they just don't understand everything that goes into this, and don't realize the damage they're doing by posting the negativity.  I'm sorry this turned into a book, but I feel it needed said. Again, thanks devs for everything you do to ensure we all have an enjoyable time playing LSPDFR, from Albo to Beojlio(might have spelled wrong) and others, you guys are truly a Great group of people who work hard to give us a more enjoyable experience. Just my 2 cents.

I suspect that this might be an unpopular opinion and I understand why, but I actually disagree with this sentiment.  I think it's a dangerous path to take if we make modding all about fame or rewards.  Popular mods and their authors will naturally become well-known and well-liked.  This is great, and it should certainly act as some motivation for people to get involved and put their work out there.  
 
At the end of the day, though, becoming popular or famous isn't what a modding community should be about.  People play game mods to have fun, and likewise people should make game mods because they think it's fun too.  It might be a hobby, it might be a nice technical challenge, or it might just be something that they've always wanted to see in a game.
 
If we become too distracted by things like comments, reviews, likes and let ourselves forget about the genuine fun that games and modding can bring, then we have completely failed as a modding community and instead have become something far more superficial.
 
And before anyone accuses me of not being in the same boat, I am.  Just look at any LSPDFR release topic and cast your eyes over the people screaming at us in capital letters.
 
I know that many people value Bejoljo's mods.  I do too.  But, that's not how things are going to work.  If he feels that it's an appropriate response to criticism - fair or unfair - to remove all of his mods, thereby denying them to the hundreds of new people who discover LSPDFR each day, then that is his decision and we will respect it.
 
We won't, however, pander to it.

pleas support the creators of the mods cars and parts equipment it take them a lot of hard work to do any of them its not magic PLEAS DO NOT LEAVE A 1 STAR Review of something you have no clue how to even install right and even if you do install it right that doesn't mean you wont have issues this is the nature of LCPDFR LSPDFR this game was not built for any of these mods and that they even work is amazing just because you dont like that 1 light isnt perfect and leave bad comments or reviews is pretty childish and not needed encourage them tell them well i have a issue here maybe they can fix it maybe you just have to live with it there no magic here Rock star doesn't come in here with dev team and say o lets fix every mod they didn't even want mods and thats why the file system is so completed in this game i been using mods and making YouTube videos for 5 years and i have reinstalled mods 100 thousand times some of it are compatibility with other mods or a issue that could be fixed later on when they figure how to fix or get it to work at the best of there ability
PLEAS TRY TO BE A GOOD PERSON AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS NOT HINDER THEM OR DISCOURAGE THEM OR WE WILL ALL LOSE OUT .

Just my 2 cents. 

Hey guys, I've never actually commented on any LSPDFR thread, although I believe now is as important a time as ever since we're on the topic of negativity. I completely agree with everyone above's comments about how the negativity is just too harsh, and agree with what Sam said. If the devs of any mod were to give up whenever negative comments stack up, we wouldn't have any mods. I remember when LSPDFR .4 came out, the TERRIBLE criticism the devs got for updating it. I agree, LSPDFR .3 was working great, and when LSPDFR .4 came out it comparably had a few more problems. But I never complained or got mad, because without experimenting and taking the risk of trying, we wouldn't even have new mods or any updates for LSPDFR. Sometimes people will become so selfish that they forget the HUGE FAVOR the devs are doing for us. They don't have to do any of this and you could not have a single thing but the base game to play. But it's because of these peoples devotion and commitment that people like you and me can come home from work or whatever you do everyday and unwind and enjoy GTAV w/LSPDFR. That being said, I couldn't imagine pouring all my free time into something not only for myself but for others to enjoy.  To have someone who's only been modding for a week give you a 1 star review and complain because they most likely don't know how to install the mod and now it doesn't work. That would be VERY discouraging. I just feel sorry for these guys. It was said above they work so hard, and all they ask for is appreciation. Instead of appreciation they just get criticism for things people believe should be done differently, or just because they likely have conflicting mods or a bad install and it doesn't work for them. Just a shame. To all those out there who spend their time working hard to ensure we all have a fun time playing GTAV, thank you. I, along with the large majority of others on here, greatly appreciate everything yall do, and your work is very valued. I honestly have been playing GTA since the 3d era, and I have never had as fun an experience with the game as I have playing LSPDFR. All of your hard work is VERY appreciated by almost everyone, it's just a few unappreciative bad apples who complain and ruin it for everyone.

Be the change that you want to see.  If you think there's something that you can do that people would like, then do it and share it.
That's exactly what StopThePed started off as - someone wanted to add more/different interactions with peds, so they did it.
 
Maybe people overthink about this.  We make a mod.  Other people make mods, and we make an effort to make both of these things compatible.  It's why mods like StopThePed even exist in the first place.  What's the fun in us trying to do everything ourselves when there are talented people out there, like you mention, who can make things too?
 
And to address the original topic, I think this whole situation is regrettable.  There are many people in the GTA modding community who would do better to keep their negativity and overzealous criticism to themselves.  There are others who would certainly do better not to take so seriously the words of a few internet trolls.
 
If we let ourselves be knocked down a step every time someone said something critical or bad about us, we'd have been stomped away into a different galaxy by now.
But we don't, we just keep doing our thing.

Oh I didn't see this, so he is taking a break due to some negative stuff.  I understand, biggest reason modders leave or take a break is due to the constant nagging from users to ''do this/do that''. 
 
Translated from his profile page it comes down to feeling underappreciated and undervalued. Also the fact that brand new users can leave reviews is bothering him, he wishes people only with a good reputation to be able to review. Seen many modders collapse due to this, hopefully he has the energy to still pick things back up, just sad that people can be so demanding and mean when someone is obviously putting his heart and soul into something...for free. 
 
You could get 10 comments about how people love your mod and 1 comment thats negative and you'll forget all about the other positive ones, it sucks.
