@klshnpple one way you can find out is by checking the original file that it replaces, and trying to find that hat ingame.

nvm, your mod replaces the firefighter outfit hat. You cant normally get that in single player outside of a heist IIRC. You will have to download a mod menu (like Menyoo), and customize your character to use the hat.

@The_Her0br1n3 there are no issues with disabling/enabling mods, though it probably would be a good idea to clear your garage of any addon vehicles (Ive personally never experienced any issues, but just in case wouldnt hurt to backup your saves I suppose).

I guess for the time being you could disable the mods folder, complete the missions, and then re-enable it and proceed as usual.

iirc the gameconfig.xml file included in Vanillaworks Extended is causing those crashes. Try downloading another gameconfig file and see if you can progress through the mission

youre better off verifying your gamefiles and redownloading them that way

An update from more "testing"; the low-quality models/scenery pop-in issue came back when I started adding more vehicles to my popgroup (Im sitting at some 250+ added vehicles now iirc). I tried bumping the physical/virtual memory values higher, but to no avail.

While testing different traffic density values to get more parked cars to spawn around the map, I found out that upping the ped- and vehicle- memory multipliers in <configpopulation> in the gameconfig apparently helps control those memory issues (I think).

I set them to 5000 each (again, probably overkill) and now I have almost no "low quality" model issues, or scenery pop-in when looking in different directions quickly.

So what does the physical/virtual memory control? Past a certain point, upping these values seems to give diminishing returns (if any to begin with), atleast for my game.

I have left them back at 1500/5000 for now since it doesnt seem to be harming my game, but I probably could lower them (or perhaps reset them to default values). Maybe someone with a more "intensive" mod folder (4K textures for everything, real car models, etc.) should test those if they have issues with texture/model pop-ins.

You can define your own popgroup

The way those balls are positioned (yeah yeah) makes it look like a debug option for some script. What ASI script mods do you have?

Try using either

https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/simple-trainer-for-gtav#description_tab

or

https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/add-on-vehicle-spawner

whichever one suits your needs. They can both co-exist if you want.

@InfiniteQuestion out of curiosity I bumped up the Physical Mem to 1500 and Virtual to 5000. Im sure its complete overkill (assuming changing it does anything to begin with), but the game seems to run just fine with these changes on my rig. CPU/GPU usage sat at around 30/40% -ish respectively, temps were sub 50/80 C for the same. My HeapAdjuster values are still at 2000 as recommended by your thread.

Since doing so, I havent witnessed any oddities such as low detail vehicle interiors/models; there is the odd environment detail "pop-in" if you look behind the direction your facing quickly, but its a rare occurence and doesnt affect anything afaik.

For the same test, I added more vehicles to my popgroup, bumped up the traffic density, raised my distance scaling, installed some other misc. mods like audio stuff, road traction, AI driving speed, etc.

Free roam works just fine, missions/side quests function properly (or atleast the ones I played).

@Harui what mods do you have installed?
