Well, there's your problem. Unless you use the "Traffic Flow" mod or any other script mod that's meant to actually fix that issue, then installing ANY mods that change cars results in the infamous "Taxi/Police bug". Basically, the game has a limit on how big the size of the cars in-game can be. If any car uses more than I think 10 MB, then it thinks it's out of RAM and space for the game and starts spawning only taxis and police because they're the smallest size vehicle in terms of file size. Keep in mind script mods were broken by patch 1.0.8.0. So you'll need to downgrade your GTA IV to version 1.0.7.0 if you want to use car mods and the script that fixes the taxi bug.

So, if i replace cars with less than 10 mb there ill not be taxi bug issue? And do you know how i can downgrade to 1.0.7.0. ? Thank you for your answer

Not exactly. There's few if any car mods that will ever be less than that size. The fact is, if you want to mod ANY car at all, you have to use one of the script mods to get rid of that bug. You can even have that bug without any car mods if the game gets modded extensively enough that textures on existing cars, traffic, or roads are large enough size that the game can't keep them all in memory. Car mods simply immediately exacerbate the problem because they're usually the biggest mods in terms of size. With regards to downgrading, I'm not sure myself.

What I did do once when Rockstar patched my game to 1.0.8.0 is to reinstall the 1.0.7.0 patch (and its associated exe. file and other patch files). But downgrading from Complete Edition might be more complicated. Plus, you have to go online and look up unofficial 1.0.7.0 patches (which veers into crack territory, which of course Steam does not condone or support) and I cannot under the Steam TOS recommend any. I can only tell you to look up guides on how to downgrade to a lower version, which may exist on Steam guides here or online.
