[ELS] The State of California: Complete Law Enforcement Pack for RDE, LSPDFR, & Story Mode. 4.2.4

The True Law Enforcement of Los Angeles, California, is here and ready. I present to you... The Complete California Law Enforcement Pack, the pack that retrieves the law enforcement vehicle lineup from LAPD, LASD, CHP, NDPD, LAPP, LALG, LAFD, LAMD, MWSC, DHS, & S.W.A.T., all from real life, designed specifically for LSPDFR, yet completely playable in single-player (story mode). Now, you might be wondering: how is that possible? There are so few vehicles in the vanilla GTA 5 game already. How could you possibly add more, especially an expanded police force, such as the California Highway Patrol as its own agency, and more natural LAPD & LASD vehicles?

 

---> Simple answer: ⛤ Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced ⛤

 

This is my first ever time releasing a vehicle pack for LSPDFR, so let me know if there's anything that requires fixing or debugging. This may be continued, or it may not; I don't know. If I get time, I'll attempt to update this pack if there's anything buggy or wrong with it.

 

REQUIRED:

• Before installing this vehicle pack, do a tutorial on how to completely and safely install Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced (RDE) and add the LSPDFR Config in order to make it collaborate and work with LSPDFR well. Sadly, this does not provide an automatic OIV file, so if this pack is desired to be implemented into your Grand Theft Auto 5 Legacy, you must follow the steps STEP-BY-STEP.

•  

 

⛤ ATTENTION! ---> ALL VEHICLES GET REPLACED! EVERY VEHICLE INSIDE THIS MEGA PACK REPLACES A VEHICLE! IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY THERE ARE SO MANY VEHICLES COMPARED TO THE VANILLA GTA 5, INSTALL REBALANCED DISPATCH ENHANCED 4.1.5 BEFORE CONTINUING ANY FURTHER, AS THIS MOD REQUIRES IT.

VERY IMPORTANT: There will be 2 vehicles.meta files, a carvariations.meta file, and a dispatch.meta file; they are REQUIRED! If not added, vehicles WILL disappear and bug out! Read the Informational text at the opening of the pack to find out where to put the vehicles.meta files.

VERY IMPORTANT #2: This entire pack replaces nearly every law enforcement vehicle besides USCG & Military vehicles from Rebalanced Dispatch Enhanced 4.1.5, allowing all vehicles to show up. Though, if you play this with Story Mode, I would recommend this mod for that as a fun add-on:

===> READ THE INFORMATIONAL TEXT. THE FIRST VEHICLES.META DOES NOT GO IN THE ORIGINAL VEHICLES.META LOCATION IN "UPDATE/UPDATE.RPF/COMMON/DATA"! ONLY THE VEHICLES.META INSIDE THE "MAIN V.M" FOLDER GO INSIDE THE MAIN VEHICLES.META LOCATION WHICH IS LOCATED IN "UPDATE/UPDATE.RPF/COMMON/DATA/LEVELS/GTA5"! BOTH ARE REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED FOR VEHICLES TO FUNCTION PROPERLY! <===

👇👇👇👇

• Installation Location for the FIRST Vehicles.meta:

---> MODS/UPDATE/X64/DLCPACKS/RDE/DLC.RPF

• Installation Location for the SECOND Vehicles.meta:

---> MODS/UPDATE/UPDATE.RPF/COMMON/DATA/LEVELS/GTA5

• Installation Location for the carvariations.meta file:

---> MODS/UPDATE/X64/DLCPACKS/RDE/DLC.RPF

• Installation Location for the visualsettings.dat file:

---> MODS/UPDATE/UPDATE.RPF/COMMON/DATA

And in case you're wondering where the FBI folder is, it's mixed with the S.W.A.T., basically saying that S.W.A.T. and the FBI work together with their unmarked vehicles and tactical operations.
