I got it running finally. Can't recommend enough Criminal Justice (YouTuber)'s install video that is over 90 minutes long but goes step by step mod by mod including editing of INI files to avoid conflicts he knows (but I didn't) were going to happen through experience. I followed along and when all was said and done had LSPDFR and all the essential mods running. I didn't know what I didn't know and was rushing tbh not reading lots of important readme's etc. Spent hours changing CompuLite ini frustrated I couldn't get it to run only to finally read the read me instructions where it clearly says you have to hold, not just press the activation key. I can't tell you how many various keys and modifiers and controller options I tried before I realized the problem was I am an idiot not that the mod or my PC or karma was blocking me lol. Appreciate the help. Best advice I can give anyone new like me is take your time, understand this will take a good day, check out that video, don't be impatient or you'll end up reinstalling crap and wasting hours of time only to be frustrated. In this case haste really does make waste.
