GTA V Modding: Making ADD-ON Car Mods to REPLACE

[BlackBearGamer]

Download:

Step 1: Download cars you want i.e https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/2015-bmw-i8
Extracting:

Step 2: Put the dlc.rpf into OpenIV

Step 3: Extract all requires file like tuning, vehicle and the data of the vehicle

Step 4: Download this (https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/carcols-ymt-converted-into-xml-format), rename carcols.xml to carcols.ymt and replace it in update/update.rpf/x64/data/carcols.ymt

Step 5: Your extracted file should look like this (http://imgur.com/a/BKRuJ), with vehicle in the vehicle folder, tuning with tuning and data with data

Vehicle File:

Step 6: Rename whatever the vehicle file name to the one you want. For example I will do dominator so the name of the file should change from:
i8.yft ---> dominator.yft
i8_hi.yft ---> dominator_hi.yft
i8.ytd ---> dominator.ytd

Step 7: Replace the vehicle file

Tuning:

Step 8: Find the mods.rpf file for the vehicle you want by pressing Ctrl+F3 and search
[car name]_mods.rpf

Step 9: Double click on it and remove all mods for that car and replace it with the included Add-On car tuning

Replacing The Data:

Step 10: (This is for the game to detect different files being but into the mods.rpf) Extract the carcols.ymt, edit with notepad++ (https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.4.2.html) and find the dominator in the file and replace everything with the included carcols by copying everything from <visibleMods> to </Liverynames>

Step 11: Replace the vehicles.meta file with the included vehicles.meta files fromm the Add-On

Step 12: Replace the handling.meta with the included handling.meta from the Add-On

Note

If want to replace a file in a dlc, simply edit carcols.meta file

If game crash, check for coding error that you have made in the handling and meta because copy and pasting can make duplicate code and caused game to crash
