LSPDFRExpanded (name might change at a later date) is set to greatly expand the roleplay abilities of LSPDFR. It aims to create a good sense of realism and progression to your average playthrough. 
 
For your average playthrough, you might go onduty, play for an hour or two and then log off again. Rinse and repeat. The only kind of "progression" you actually gain are from CourtResults from mods like PoliceMenu and StopThePed. However even that isn't really a good kind of progression since it's basically just a text that changes. You don't really get any feedback from it.
 
With LSPDFRExpanded your average playthrough will greatly change. Let's start from the beginning (For LSPDFRExpanded to work properly, it is advised to press F4 and type "ForceDuty" for it to load properly):
 
1. The first time you load up the plugin you will wake up in your own apartment. From here you have numerous stuff to do. For example you can take a shower to start the day properly. Go to your wardrobe and take your favorite clothing. Head up to the kitchen and start making breakfast. You are working the nightshift so you invite a colleague over to spend a few hours. Once your friend left you are taking your keys, bag and go outside to your vehicle.

2. After going outside you unlock your vehicle and head to the nearest gas station to refill your vehicle. You still have a few hours to beat so what could you do? Every shop inside Los Santos is at your disposal. Wanna get a new haircut? Sure go ahead. A new tattoo? Your boss might not like it but you do you. Maybe you want to check out the new shirt SubUrban has to offer. Your friend told you, your car is looking very bland, why not buy a new one and tune it up a bit? However you choose to spend your money, it's sure a great investment.

3. After spending your freetime it's time to go to work. When you enter your department you are able to chat with your coworkers, make new friends (or even enemies if you don't like a particular guy). Stamp in your time and go onduty, wether you do it uniformed or undercover. Don't forget you grab the keys to the squad car and your equipment! You'll receive a paycheck every 10 minutes with a maximum being 1 hour. After that you can of course keep continiung to patrol but you won't be paid. Remember, your work quality influences your life. Put your back into it and you'll receive promotions, with promotions comes a higher salary. After your work is done and you stamp out again, you can follow your coworkers to the local bar, invite them over to your place and so on.
 
 
Everything you do with LSPDFRExpanded is saved. Wether you buy a new car, change your appearance, make new friends etc. You'll never lose your progression and start from scratch like in vanilla. In addition to that, each character that you created with LSPDFR will have it's own savefile. Want to play as an FIB director with tons of cars, cash and more? Sure do that. Want to play as an lonely cop with no friends? Why not.
 
This should give you a good look at how I want this plugin to function and as you can imagine, there is a lot of work and love going into this plugin so I hope you are as happy with the endresult as soon as it releases as I am working on it right now 🙂

Hello everyone! As you’ve seen, the new “Bottom Dollar Bounties” update introduces several new vehicles that we’ve integrated into LSPDFR. Alongside these additions, there have been a few behind-the-scenes changes necessitating updates from developers for their mods.
 
In this news post, I’ll outline the updates for the most commonly used mods in the LSPDFR community and provide guidance on what needs updating. While the focus is on the LSPDFR community, I’ll also include general information beneficial to any user of GTA V modifications.
 
LSPDFR and RAGEPluginHook (RPH)
Both LSPDFR and RAGEPluginHook required updates for this new patch:
The fixes are included in LSPDFR build 8943 and RPH 1.110, both of which are part of the latest LSPDFR download. This update includes support for the new “Bottom Dollar Bounties” vehicles, adding five new police vehicles to the default LSPDFR loadout. Additionally, it includes general quality-of-life fixes from our maintenance branch, reduces the spawn chance of the gauntlet, and addresses an oversight allowing the gauntlet to spawn for prisoner transport. Update 30th June 2024: Microsoft Defender has incorrectly introduced a false positive detection for RPH in a recent definition update. If you're affected, you'll see RPH briefly mentioning 'Verifying Hook' and crash. It may not be sufficient to just exempt your GTA folder; To start RPH, it may be necessary to temporarily disable your AV. You can re-enable your AV when RPH starts and hooks successfully.
 
Scripthook V (SHV)
SHV typically requires an update for each new patch. Alexander Blade, the creator of SHV, has updated his hook, available on the Scripthook V page. Many non-LSPDFR modifications rely on SHV, so updating is essential.
 
Emergency Lighting System (ELS)
Well, this is the update that finally broke ELS! However, luckily the file that needed an update was @LMS’s AdvancedHookV.dll library. This new file, which you’ll need to use ELS on the new patch, is available from the ELS download page.
To install it, download the AdvancedHookV_b3258.zip file and extract the included AdvancedHookV.dll into your game folder.
 
SirenSetting Limit Adjuster (SSLA)
Users have reported SSLA causing game crashes. If you use RPH, your game might crash during the "Initializing Game Support" stage. To resolve this, remove SirenSetting_Limit_Adjuster.asi from your game folder until an update becomes available.
 
Community Scripthook V .NET (SHVDN)
The latest game update also caused problems with SHVDN, including crashing when trying to open the SHVDN console, and scripts refusing to load. The fix for this and other SHVDN issues are included in their nightly builds, which you should install if any of your mods use or require SHVDN.
 
OpenIV File Mods (mods folder)
If you’ve installed file mods through OpenIV, you’ll probably need to at least update update.rpf in your mods folder. This usually involves deleting the file and recreating it, and reinstalling any modifications that you put into that file. This is the downside of using the OpenIV mods method, unfortunately.
 
LML File Mods (lml folder)
If you’ve installed file mods through LML, you won’t need to reinstall or update your mods in general.
Just make sure you've got the latest LML gameconfig.xml, which you can find here:
 
 
gameconfig.xml
Please note that using an outdated modified gameconfig.xml will crash loading into story mode. An updated gameconfig.xml can be found on GTA5-Mods. 
 
Other Honourable Mentions
Heap Adjuster, PackfileLimitAdjuster, and Weapon Limits Adjuster do not require updates at this time and should continue to function normally if installed.
