⭐ *_How To Install Car Mods in GTA IV (2021 - GTA 4 Mods Tutorial)_* ⭐ In this tutorial, I show you how to: - [A] Install Car Mod - [B] Install Handling Line (handling.dat) - [C] Install Vehicle Data (vehicles.ide) - [D] Install Car Colors (carcols.dat) This is literally how to install cars the proper way in Grand Theft Auto IV!

I'm getting back into GTA 4 modding, I got one mod to work but it crashes as I'm driving down the road in one of the cars (all car replacement pack) and the game gives me a fatal error to restart the game. I don't know how to downgrade GTA 4.
This is awesome, but I would like to know how to add cars to the game without replacing the already existing in game vehicles. Also, thank you for being so thorough. I'm a dope when it comes to this stuff, but your video was so clear and simple.
That is very much possible, but there's a certain way to doing it. When I have the chance, I'll produce a video on how to install add-on vehicles to the game. It heavily is differentiated from just replacing one of the current in-game cars. And thank you so much! I try to ensure that the videos are short, concise, but also detailed in making the user understands the video before proceeding to mod his or her game. And besides, I find pleasure in knowing that GTA IV continues to stay alive with all the fun in modding :)
im glad to see you are still responding to users. When i install my car mod and go to spawn the vehicle in game, nothing pops up. I tried replacing the comet and spawning it using the phone cheat code in TBOGT. The car model and textures open perfectly fine inside of OPENIV but not within the game. I'm just trying to play the game in a vanilla state with a couple car mod replacements to resemble what i drive irl to feel more immersed. I recently got the game running smooth as butter just using some command lines and nvidia control panel, no extra patches or assistances. A year ago i had downloaded car mods and they worked without issue.
It is likely that the size of the car is incredibly large (in terms of MB). But if you install the ZolikaPatch and enable the option where the game accepts any car without limiting or restricting the sizes on it (in terms of MB), then you can freely use those cars. I would caution/advise that you set a commandline of some sorts to counter any texture loss problems.
Thank you so much for the feedback and support! 👍 I’m glad this has helped! Considering you’re modding GTA IV for the first time, are there any tutorials that you might suggest that I could make?
Blue Star Line! Wow, that name brings back memories, man. Welcome back to the channel, and thank you! I certainly could :) Next one will be pretty... interesting!
its a shame we cant install all Car-Mods cuz the Vehicle Memory gettin filled up very fast... i hate this Vehicle Memorty Limit.... Thanks Rockstar :/ but anyway nice Video Dude👌👌
So a few observations on my end...i installed a few cars, (in Grand Theft Auto Episodes from Liberty City. TBoGT) and I have experience modding GTAV. I replaced a couple cars and my game now has major render problems and the GTA effect is amplified 1000x. Either a million taxis interspersed with a police car or two or a million of whatever you're driving. It's driving me insane
It's a very common error with GTA 4, but what you need to do is install something called 'TrafficFlowR2' by G17 Media! Can be found on the LCPDFR website :)
Wierd thing: I downloaded a Mitsubishi Fuso tow truck that replaces the mule (I didn't have to rename the file, pretty handy) but also, the only files included in the RAR were the wft and wtd files, a text file that only has instructions, and a .png file. I'm not complaining though, the mod works great, and so does your video. So far I've replaced 2 cars, and both work flawlessly. Thanks man.
Wow! That’s probably because the tow truck and the Mule might share the same type of handling! But I’m happy that it works :) Happy modding and thanks for the love!
That's one reason, but it's also because it ends up being the most simplest method as opposed to any other. Adding vehicles are certainly not difficult, but they typically can be challenging for those who are especially new to modding. I hope to make a video soon unveiling the method on how to install add-on vehicles.
@@NotAJ Yes bro i did everything perfectly ( handling, colours etc) and also i am using Gta 4 the complete edition and i downloaded it from Steamunlocked
Good question-I use Notepad++. It's extremely useful. When you download and install it, you can right click on those DAT files and open them with Notepad++.
Hello, your video helped me a lot, everything is fine except that now only the one mod car is driving through the city and the taxi, what could I have done wrong?
Quick question, will every car mod have the handling and stuff like that that I need to install? I want to install the Mercedes CLA and am not sure, please help lol I'm a noob at this. Btw how do I download the trainer thing? Also will my mods work in the episodes of liberty city extension or will I have to do something else to get them in there?
Hey, Carter. Not every car mod will come with a handling line provided. Sometimes I often just Google up for any available handlines that are out on the internet :) And all you need to do with the trainer is just to install the files (from the zipped file set) into the directory, given that you don't install anything with ".docx" or ".pdf" as the file extension! I hope this helps you.
I dont know what i did wrong, but all the mods i install have issues with the colors. Like all the windows are white, the car is white, but the wheels and tires are working normally? And everything else with the cars works fine, just the weird color/texture issue
That’s very odd. Did you replace the car with a vanilla car like the way how I did in the tutorial, or did you add it in as another car? And did you install the WTD that comes with the car?
@@NotAJ I did everything like you did on this video but somehow the "colors" are messed up, then I tried different car mod on different vanilla car and it had sort of same problem, but this time all the black parts were white
Hey there! You mean replacing cars, or actually ADDING them into the game? If you add them into the game, then they would need a vehicle, color, and handling line each.
ik you prob busy but i could use some direct brief help, i’m sure you could figure what im doing wrong.. “access denied” when i’m in edit mode & try too replace files
Sorry for the late reply - so this has to do with administrative rights to your GTA IV folder, to which you (as the user) seems to have none. Simply take your GTA IV folder and move it to some place like "My Documents", try it then :)
My Question is, why replace the Comet when the Banshee is literally made to replicate the Viper? Wouldn't you just replace the Banshee with the new Viper?
So the “ACR” verbiage is specifically there in my video because the Dodge Viper is an actual model codenamed with “ACR”. That’s why it’s like that. But the formatting is the same for most vehicle data provided, given that the name is different. Your vehicle data might say “CIVIC” or “BLISTA” if it’s like a Honda for example. And sometimes when developers put out vehicle data, the spacing isn’t always equidistant. Sometimes the spacing is irregularly adjusted.
Just tried it and only ran into 1 issue, after i have completed the handling and etc of the car of my liking... i jump into gta 4 and hop on the mod menu and choose the car yet its the original car that its supposed to be, not the modded car i chose. Is it because of the openlV? No clue what i did wrong and followed every instruction yet no car:((
@NotAJ yeah I enabled edit mode and transferred/saved the car setting and mod and when I click f7 and go to spawn vehicles I choose the "sultan RS" which would be the audi tt car mod yet the actual sultan pops up.
i did the same way as you showed in the video, but when i joined the game all the cars became modded. In other words all cars became the same modded car as i tried to do only with the schafter. Any solutions?
Are you saying that only the car mod showed up in the in-game traffic? Download and install Simple Traffic Loader (does require an ASI loader). This should remedy that problem for you.
@@NotAJ no need to apologize for the late reply, i understand that everyone is busy🥰, and thank you for letting me know, I can finally drive the streets of liberty city in a Bugatti 😁
ive done everything as instructed in the video but my cars arent showing up, no error message nothing. just doesnt show up.. nothing happens, what do i do ? i dont use the old native trainer i use a different one. what do i do ?
i installed almost every period correct car mod i could find for gta 4 but it either crashes every 3 minutes, missions softlock/take a very long time to load, or the map starts to disappear not willing to settle for playing with the dogshit vanilla cars btw i have commandline.txt, 16gb ram, core i5 9th gen processor, and an rtx 3070
To my understanding, ZolikaPatch should fix this! There’s an option in the configuration file that you can enable to increase the texture limit for vehicles and etc. Try that! If not, then make sure that the cars you’re downloading aren’t excessive in size (like file size).
I installed a mod from the gtaall website, its an aston martin to replace the supergt, I added it to the supergt file and saw it increase in size, I wanted to check it out without installing the handling but now my gta 4 wont open, it initially opens to a black screen loading and then it crashes, need help
It is likely that the car mod is way too overpowered for your game to handle. But to mitigate it, you can always exercise two options simultaneously: (a) get a command line in the game that has no memory restrictions, and (b) install ZolikaPatch to overcome the issue.
Hi, does it work with any model? like a ferrari can they put it on any 2-seater car or is it better to put them with his original name? I have many cars that i hate but I can't find anything that has its name to replace it, if I put a Ferrari in and change its name and put data does it get better or does it always stay slow? some question with muscle cars/Suvs... can i put supercars here or better put only something similar, thank you and sorry for my english
It does absolutely work with any type of vehicle model, especially if the original vehicle (vanilla) was a 4-door (let's say) SUV. However, , it would be wise to replace a sedan/sports vehicle with another sedan/sports vehicle, which makes it easier on you. It's highly recommended to install vehicle data so you can gain the best experience from it. Having a two-seater Ferrari installed without the vehicle data can certainly make the experience sluggish and not so 'game-changing' if you will. It's not easy getting these types of data files in, but you get used to it after some time. I hope that explanation helps.
I ve got a question do I need to do the handline and car data after replacing the car ? if so I suffer from a problem on the game after installing a car when I drive it always the same car show up on the road and doesnt load up other cars i hope there is a way to prevent this or to fix it that will help a lot of people with the same problem thank you in advance and I hope you answer bro!thanks
This is for the retail copy, which I own and have. You can actually buy a disc version from Amazon and believe me... it makes life 10x easier without a Steam copy. However, this method works on Steam WHEN downgraded properly (may have to look up a tutorial to do that) -- the retail copy requires no downgrade.
Yo buddy, why in game only appear taxis instead of different cars? I checked my handling.dat with the mods i've just installed and those numbers are correct, any suggestion about that? Because is weird to see many taxis spawing
You’ll want to install the Simple Traffic Loader mod into the game. This helps eliminate the multiple taxis from spawning in. I believe FusionFix should do something very similar, in a sense.
Ok, i already knew how to replace cars, but you need to cover issue with the game, where game IS NOT spawning modded cars, and i/we need solution for that, i tried script hook files but game is crashing when i try to load the save. That explanation/guide is needed.
Could be possibly due to the size of the car itself or the texture files! If the texture files are big, then make sure for reduce them :) I’m glad that this helped!!
@@NotAJ Oh, okay! I already did it like 1 month ago so yeah, I had problems with spinning and other stuff yk....I did the Handling script and Problems just disapeard!
@ appreciate the response, managed to change the cars but having textures/map lags when running a traffic loader as well, I’m only on a low budget i5 with iris xe with 8gb ram, do you have any solutions apart from lowering the size of the vehicles.img file, removing the traffic or upgrading gpu?
Oh yeah, that’s very common with car mods unfortunately. This is because GTA IV does have a limit. I would suggest having a commandline if you don’t have one already! Check this video out for further details (at the commandline segment): ua-cam.com/video/xBDfdO4TIgE/v-deo.htmlsi=XV3DpNTDlnTiucDZ
Hey there. Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear that you're having some troubles. This seems to be a problem that can occur if you accidentally messed up one of the data or meta files, such as "handling", "carcols", or "vehicles". Did you alter any of those when installing a car mod?
Hi, works for me but, in 4 or 6 cars doesnt work, i tried to spawn the car and doesn't appear nothing, i need help with that pls, some custom cars doesnt have handling ide or carcols, only the Texture replace, and doesnt works for me
I am sorry, but I don't understand what you're asking. Are you asking what you would if you had a config file (.ini) that came with a police car? If that's what you're asking, then yes, there should be an ELS folder where you dump those into.
Hey, Daryl! Download this mod that will prevent that completely, called TrafficFlow: www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta4mods/scripts/13-traffic-flow/ It does require ScriptHook, ScriptHookDotNet, and dsound.dll or xlive.dll :)
I just realize that I can only install 2 car's wtf wtd and then don't need to change anything in 3 note, the car works fine, I can use carcols for colors but I was wondering what vehicle.ide do? Cause I already install handling mods for all vehicles
The vehicles IDE file basically allows you to map a few things - such as what car model and texture have what handling and what type of sound. So you could make the Feltzer in-game have the sound of an Infernus if you so wished. Or have motorcycles sound differently. It also maps what type of vehicles can have sirens, liveries (like decals and all), exhaust pops, etc.
@@NotAJ Cause I already install GTA V handling for all cars, so I just don't edit the handling one, all work perfect, I tried to edit the vehicle.ide one but spot nothing diff so I have to ask
You can certainly add new cars! It’s just a completely different process, however. You’d need to add their handling.dat and vehicles.ide lines, and optionally carcols to have different colors set :)

Very helpful gang @@NotAJ
Hi! This video helped me alot but can I know how to open the trainer please? and how to downgrade it?
Will this work for GTA IV: The ACTUAL Complete Edition?
I think it could, but you'd have to be very careful and make sure you're installing them correctly.
is there a mod to save more than 10 vehicles? 10 parking spaces are few, considering all the cool unique, special and gang vehicles in the game
what is the function of installing car color? Will the mod car have color variations?
EXACTLY THAT. It will provide color variation 🫡
My mods vehicle data didn't come in acr format, and its alot shorter than the one you're showing, is that an issue? and should i still skip 4 words
So the “ACR” verbiage is specifically there in my video because the Dodge Viper is an actual model codenamed with “ACR”. That’s why it’s like that. But the formatting is the same for most vehicle data provided, given that the name is different. Your vehicle data might say “CIVIC” or “BLISTA” if it’s like a Honda for example.

@@NotAJ ohhhh thank you, i was overthinking it haha. thanks for gettign back so quick :)
No problem!
Do i have to actually add the handling etc or is it optional
It’s optional, but if the car flips or does weird things, then you’ll definitely wanna get it :)
where do you got that car cheat menu i need those so much😔
It is called "Simple Native Trainer V6.5". However, I would recommend "ZMenuIV" by Zolika1351.

Does this replace Mpc cars as well or is this just for mod menu?
Thank u roo
Of course 💪
Hi, does it work with any model? like a ferrari can they put it on any 2-seater car or is it better to put them with his original name? I have many cars that i hate but I can't find anything that has its name to replace it, if I put a Ferrari in and change its name and put data does it get better or does it always stay slow? some question with muscle cars/Suvs... can i put supercars here or better put only something similar, thank you and sorry for my english
It does absolutely work with any type of vehicle model, especially if the original vehicle (vanilla) was a 4-door (let's say) SUV. However, , it would be wise to replace a sedan/sports vehicle with another sedan/sports vehicle, which makes it easier on you. It's highly recommended to install vehicle data so you can gain the best experience from it. Having a two-seater Ferrari installed without the vehicle data can certainly make the experience sluggish and not so 'game-changing' if you will. It's not easy getting these types of data files in, but you get used to it after some time. I hope that explanation helps.
Can I know the name of the music you use in your outtro 8:11

I ve got a question do I need to do the handline and car data after replacing the car ? if so I suffer from a problem on the game after installing a car when I drive it always the same car show up on the road and doesnt load up other cars i hope there is a way to prevent this or to fix it that will help a lot of people with the same problem thank you in advance and I hope you answer bro!thanks
It's usually recommended to install the vehicle's handling line and the car data to potentially avoid crashes or errors! It's not required, though.
is this only for steam? cause you can't buy it on steam anymore and I brought it from the rockstar website, is there a way to mod it from there?
This is for the retail copy, which I own and have. You can actually buy a disc version from Amazon and believe me... it makes life 10x easier without a Steam copy. However, this method works on Steam WHEN downgraded properly (may have to look up a tutorial to do that) -- the retail copy requires no downgrade.
@@NotAJ any possibility on that tutorial on how to downgrade properly? Thanks
youre goddamn perfect dude
Thank you so much ❤️ Glad everything worked!
Yo buddy, why in game only appear taxis instead of different cars? I checked my handling.dat with the mods i've just installed and those numbers are correct, any suggestion about that? Because is weird to see many taxis spawing
You’ll want to install the Simple Traffic Loader mod into the game. This helps eliminate the multiple taxis from spawning in. I believe FusionFix should do something very similar, in a sense.
Nice video! But it says "SYS 00000005 error" and that the access is denied... What can I do?
need help as well, ik i’m not special and i redowngraded from version 0.4 too “recommended” 0.8… no help
Ok, i already knew how to replace cars, but you need to cover issue with the game, where game IS NOT spawning modded cars, and i/we need solution for that, i tried script hook files but game is crashing when i try to load the save. That explanation/guide is needed.
It's worksss! But sadly after playing for 2-3 mins it gets crashed. (Fatal error). Any solution for that?
Thank you
Could be possibly due to the size of the car itself or the texture files! If the texture files are big, then make sure for reduce them :) I’m glad that this helped!!
@@NotAJ thank you🙏!
Does it still work if you only replace the car model and nothing else ?
A mod I got for an Alfa Spider didn't come with data for car colors is that ok?
That should be fine. Not all of the car mods that you download will come with every file like this Dodge Viper ACR did :) Only a few!
Is there any mod that change the AI cars too?
Thank you too much
it words well
I'm pleased to know that everything worked for you! Thank you for the feedback.
Can I replace Comet car with the Modded Mazda MX-7 and will it be an problem if I dont get the Handling thing?
Sometimes, it can be a problem if you don't get the handling file, since the car might flip over or spin out easily :(
@@NotAJ Oh, okay! I already did it like 1 month ago so yeah, I had problems with spinning and other stuff yk....I did the Handling script and Problems just disapeard!
Question. If I want to replace the fine of the car with another model would it work
Hey there! The “fine” of the car? If you mean sound, then yes!
@@NotAJ sorry bro let me rephrase, I’m probably talking about the model of the car to another
Ohhhh! Yes you can! You most certainly could :)
@@NotAJ say less thanks for the info brotha I sub
Thank you so much ❤️ I appreciate the sub! I’m glad to see everything works :)
Does this mean I have to install iceEnhancer after I update these vehicle files?
Installing an ENB (such as iCEnhancer) should not conflict with any of these files shown in the video :)
@ appreciate the response, managed to change the cars but having textures/map lags when running a traffic loader as well, I’m only on a low budget i5 with iris xe with 8gb ram, do you have any solutions apart from lowering the size of the vehicles.img file, removing the traffic or upgrading gpu?
Oh yeah, that’s very common with car mods unfortunately. This is because GTA IV does have a limit. I would suggest having a commandline if you don’t have one already! Check this video out for further details (at the commandline segment): ua-cam.com/video/xBDfdO4TIgE/v-deo.htmlsi=XV3DpNTDlnTiucDZ
can you do it with gta 4 complete edition?
Yes, installing car mods works on every version of GTA IV.
@ oh yes thank you i figured it out 🙂
does anyone know how to change the car sounds?
That all depends. Are you trying to change the sound of the car to something else that's in the game, or are you trying to add sounds into the game?
Hey how do you delete the car mods if you want all cars back to normal?
You should back up the original vehicles.img file, as well as any meta or data files prior to their modification.
this is not rly related to the vid. but do you know how to fix the drunk cam bug? i have a real copy of the game but that bug just happens
Really? That's so weird! Never thought that the drunk cam bug would come across. Did it happen upon downgrading?
I know how to fix..
Bro We can use only one cars or we use more cars
You can use multiple cars!
i followed all the instructions dutifully but still im crashing when im opening gta. it loads my save file for 4 secs , freezes and than crashes
Hey there. Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear that you're having some troubles. This seems to be a problem that can occur if you accidentally messed up one of the data or meta files, such as "handling", "carcols", or "vehicles". Did you alter any of those when installing a car mod?
@NotAJ yeah I guess I did. I started all over and kept out of the car mods.
Fair enough. Car mods can be a little tricky to work with sometimes, especially if they come in complex forms.
hey man, how do you open that vehicles.img?
Hi, works for me but, in 4 or 6 cars doesnt work, i tried to spawn the car and doesn't appear nothing, i need help with that pls, some custom cars doesnt have handling ide or carcols, only the Texture replace, and doesnt works for me
It’s likely because the car might be too big in size. That’s why you have to be very careful about what car mods, or how many, you install.
@@NotAJ Tysm ^^
@@NotAJ New sub btw
Thank you so much!! ❤️ I appreciate the love!
i went to the TBOGT handling file but it does not have the .dat. i changed the handling for the apc and now it wont load the game.
Is there a way to download vehicle addons for Gta 4 but PS3 version?
Unfortunately, I’m not aware of any methods that would modify the vehicles (or add on) to PS3.
where should i put the els (the .ini folder) in els compatible police cars? within the gta directory
I am sorry, but I don't understand what you're asking. Are you asking what you would if you had a config file (.ini) that came with a police car? If that's what you're asking, then yes, there should be an ELS folder where you dump those into.
I'm unable to change car handling and another one, i tried all the way but couldn't install any car.
does this work for the complete edition on steam??
Unfortunately, as aforementioned, you must downgrade your GTA 4 copy to 1.0.7.0. or 1.0.8.0.
@@NotAJ the process works until you put in mods, it crashes Everytime
Hey i'm not sure if you can help me, But i installed car mods and all the traffic cars are that mod lol
Hey, Daryl! Download this mod that will prevent that completely, called TrafficFlow: www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta4mods/scripts/13-traffic-flow/ It does require ScriptHook, ScriptHookDotNet, and dsound.dll or xlive.dll :)
I just realize that I can only install 2 car's wtf wtd and then don't need to change anything in 3 note, the car works fine, I can use carcols for colors but I was wondering what vehicle.ide do? Cause I already install handling mods for all vehicles
The vehicles IDE file basically allows you to map a few things - such as what car model and texture have what handling and what type of sound. So you could make the Feltzer in-game have the sound of an Infernus if you so wished. Or have motorcycles sound differently. It also maps what type of vehicles can have sirens, liveries (like decals and all), exhaust pops, etc.
@@NotAJ Thank u a lot, never think this man still reply to cmt after 2 years 🤣🤣
@@NotAJ Cause I already install GTA V handling for all cars, so I just don't edit the handling one, all work perfect, I tried to edit the vehicle.ide one but spot nothing diff so I have to ask
Of course, my friend! No problem :)
Can I have the name of the mod that is making rain stay on the screen, please
Hey! I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about. Can you describe more information please?
what application do you use to open .ide files
i think you don't need to replace cars, you can just add new to the game did i right?
You can certainly add new cars! It’s just a completely different process, however. You’d need to add their handling.dat and vehicles.ide lines, and optionally carcols to have different colors set :)
