Looking for Car Parking/Saving mods

[Lain]

One of my main pet peeves of GTA IV is the low amount of parking spaces. I have been using a Parking Mod (for v 1.0.7.0) but it is a bit glitchy that it can run for a while, but randomly decides to error out and a reload is needed.

The Native trainers I found had a lot of car spawn options, but it looks like they only are capable of saving a singular vehicle.

Are there any reliable mods to save cars (more than 1) for the game?

U can park up to 3 cars or 2 longer vehicles on ANY safe house parking, NO MATTER if house is active or not (locked/unlocked), and at any time during game (i mean game progress), including X house before and after X missions, and starting parking after Romans Sorrow.
Edit: Maybe even more if u park it parallel. (not tested)

The max is 2 (at least up to v1.0.7.0) per safehouse parking spot. But you can save up to 4 during a continuous game. Only 2 save on a load though, so best to make sure only 2 are remaining before leaving, or the game will just remove the surplus ones.

That is just 10 spots in the whole map.

Edit: I found that i dont need to reload the save btw, I can reload the script from the command to make it work properly again. Still, any tips are welcome.

U need to "nudge" them little to park 3, 1 in the middle and other 2 can be a ~1/3 on a street, just keep them mostly on the parking spot, game will keep them. It doesn't need to be full car exactly.
And btw, why do u even need so many cars parked? Doesn't matter anyway.
I can't remember, but I think Simple Native Trainer had multiple slots for saved vehicles.

Is this for v1.0.7.0? Because this only used to work for me during a continuous game, until I would reload the save. As long as less than half of the vehicle was out of the spot, I could travel to the other side of the map and the vehicles would still be there.

I tested this like 5-7 years ago with cars, and also motorcycles.

Idk for version, but it worked for me normally, like save, quit game, come back later, and all cars are still on a parking. W/o any script/mod related to car saves/park.

I have not tried SNT out, it was promising when I saw it had a save car option, however it looked like it only contained 1 (or 4?) slots so i didnt try it out. More akin to a personal vehicle rather than a garage. I could test it out after all.

And for the why, I find that i run out of parking spaces very quickly. Keep a couple of unique cars, a few more common ones like Comet, Infernus, Sabre GT and Banshee in a nice colour, add maybe a SWAT van and it is already easily up to the limit if you also need to leave some space for 'ditchable' cars that are still decent to drive. Also i find it fun to collect them.

The limited saving space for vehicles has always been part of the GTA series, which was fine, but in IV i find the balance between space vs. what I'd like to have in my garage much more challenging compared to the older versions.

I will test this again then in the coming days. Thanks!
