@Epix At first I had zero interest to spawn the new DLC because I only use addon vehicles for cars (with a few exceptions such as the insurgent).
So many people were having this problem and at least 2 or 3 said they easily succeeded that I decided to try myself.
I followed their steps, launched GTA5 with all my mods, and tried 3 different ways (Menyoo, addon vehicle spawner mod, and c# with LemonUI) to spawn.
Either nothing happened (C#) or Invalid Model (Menyoo), or "Wrong version of GTA" from addon vehicle spawner because it correctly saw I had downgraded GTA5.exe to bypass the SHV that no longer works.
So I verified all my steps. Went into OpenIV.
Were the DLCs there? Yep.
Could I see the vehicles like Euros? Yep.
Was my dlclist.xml updated for MPTUNER without syntax errors (after about 300 manual entries, I think have the process down).
Next I experimented, Steam Version. Only constant was that GTA5.exe had to be the previous version - if not, no Mods.
I basically tried every combination, and they are limited, and nothing worked. Either game would hang during launch, or launch but not allow spawns.
In summary I tried.
The steps that those who had succeeded posted. Having MPTUNER also in my mods folder Downgrading my mods version of Update.rpf Upgrading my mods version of Update.rpf Downgrading my mods version of Update.rpf but adding MPTUNER, then downgrading game version of Update.rpf Made sure my gameconfig was properly loaded in Mods (each attempt) Tried with a lighter version of my dlcpacks A few more combos which I know probably didn't make sense out of desperation.Conclusion: I can't do this on my setup. Likely something is conflicting. My setup is highly customized and tweaked with many edits, a custom ped addon process which I created, etc. So my game is definitely full of variables.
Anyway, as I said before have no interest in this DLC but was hoping to create a tutorial - that won't happen.
