Thanks I appreciate your help

Hello , ( the moderators in here are top notch 👍🏽) good job with the quick responses guys lol You said : The only exception to this is if the model is not available anywhere and you have permission from the author to upload it. 👇👇 But thats exactly what i mean though. Ive done this before in the past . Normally what i do is I speak to the author about purchasing a vehicle that has not yet been uploaded to LCPDFR nor anywhere else. So that once i buy it , i can upload into the "model" category with my livery attached to it. In simpler terms , i BUY the vehicle model that has never been uploaded, you can say i buy the permission as well if you wanna look at it that way. Sometimes i even pay for them to CREATE one for me from scratch and once i upload it I make sure to give the creator(s)/author their credits under the "credits" section. It may sound crazy but im basically willing to pay good money in exchange for a vehicle AND authors permission to upload. I do it all just so my own personal livery creation gets the exposure i want it to get . We all been in this community for years so I think we can all agree when I say that vehicle livery category gets WAYYY less exposure than vehicle models section. Which is why I never had an issue paying someone what they ask for when it comes to selling me their work. So when you said you've never seen someone who sells vehicle models allow someone to reupload their paid model for free , its never free lol . I dont just pay for the model, its almost like im paying for the permission to re-upload as well. As long as i mention them in the credits the creators/authors dont mind. Except i dont expect you guys to know that part because payment process and negotiations all happen in DMs or behind the scenes ( Discord etc ) So i understand where youre coming from too.

Hello, Thank You for the quick response , I am very aware that if I purchase/use and re-upload a vehicle model, i need explicit permission and/or licensing from the original author. I usually ask them that BEFORE i even purchase the vehicle because if they dont give permission that literally defeats the purpose lol Im also aware that if i upload a livery i cannot upload a model with it . Other than that , you gave me the answer i was looking for 👍. All my liveries are STRICTLY made by me and myself only so thats not something im anywhere near worried about. My goal is simple : buy vehicle , re-upload into the "vehicle model" category with MY livery attached to it. one last thing , i understand i can share my Discord in my profile , but what did you mean when you said forum signature ? can you provide a quick example ?

its live now , i appreciate your help brother . I do have another question though , as you can see , ive uploaded my livery to the vehicle skins category . but what if i buy a vehicle model from one of the people (owners) who upload their stuff to the "vehicle models" category ? Am i allowed to upload to upload to the vehicle models category as well ? ... "vehicle models" get more exposure than "vehicles skins" do . If i can apply my livery creation to a purchased vehicle model , that will definetely send more followers my way towards my Discord channel. P.s : Ive done this before , but i retired for a bit ad closed my Discord, but now that GTA 6 is coming , i want to build a following again for future VCPDFR purposes. I only bring this up because i want to make sure i dont break a rule here on this website.

long story short : i uploaded a livery under the vehicle skins category and it remained hidden for moderator approval but then it went from that , to "pending deletion" . im sure i put the link of the vehicle model in the description but for some reason it the livery was never uploaded.

Lmfaoooo say it louder for those in the back who couldnt hear you LMFAOOOOOOOO .

if you don't mind me asking , how long after GTA 5 PC release date were you and your team able to actually go live with LSPDFR ? ... this is a very interesting topic . i started playing LSPDFR maybe about 3 and half years ago . its a really fun mod ( plugins and add-ons make it even more fun ) . I barely play it anymore because I'm a very busy father/husband . IM actually excited for GTA 6 and its really heart-warming seeing you guys talk about VCPDFR . It actually gives us all something to look forward to. Damn thats actually a good point lol

good question

How can i downgrade back to legacy ? 😞
