@a63nt-5m1th I fairly certain I put the .meta in the right folder but I can always try again for safe measure. If the results are still minimal Ill go the manual route and update. Thank you!

@DugiHowser really?

Are you being sarcastic or trying to confirm?

@VinitBelam

This cannot be anymore fool proof. This was the first vid I watched before I got into mods and is very easy to follow. If you still have trouble, I mean no disrespect but maybe mods is not your thing.
P.S. Not all mods are created equal meaning some are out dated or not good of quality and will crash your game regardless how good you are and precise with installing them. That goes for ANY mod car, scripts, weapons, peds, etc.

@BurgerBoi I would assume exactly the same way you would install a addon car. Then spawn it via trainer.

@a63nt-5m1th I tried the Unmodifiedimicated Traffic and it didn't seem to work to well as I was still seeing glitched cars especially in Franklins street race mission. I have everyone of those cars in the cutscene and in the race replaced and still saw spoilers and bumpers glitching. Ill go with the manual route you mentioned and see if that does the trick. Just a side note, I am using NVE with the ENB Razed provides in his download. I noticed that NVE does something to the carcols.ymt. There is a NVE carcols in my dlclist. I pretty certain removing the mods won't affect it but I figured I mention it before I go off removing them.

Im no pro but perhaps I can help. Which car are you looking to use in particular, can you provide link? Are you looking to replace a car or add as a add-on?

@a63nt-5m1th Awesome, Ill look at all of that tonight. Thank you so much!

P.S. I believe this will need a new thread but, I am curious if there is any way to adjust the vehicles that are in the cut scenes. Meaning that some appear to glitch out with bumpers off etc.. I managed to mix match a few and some end up being perfect but others it seems I can do anything about. I believe I read its because of the vehicle extras and they have to be disabled? I am not sure. If you and can clarify that would be awesome. Ill open up a new thread to not confuse this one.

Try Unmodifiedimicated Traffic for a quick fix

It removes the upgrades from the pre-upgraded cars that appear in traffic. They can cause cars appearing missing bumpers etc (& crash your game) if you have replaced that vehicle with another.
It's generally caused by the 'car-name-here_mods.rpf' not being replaced correctly or the upgrades in the '<visibleMods>' section in the vehicle's 'carcols.ymt/.meta' file not being edited/removed.

The ideal way to solve issues like this is to make sure the '<visibleMods>' sections in your 'carcols.ymt/.meta' files are correct for the cars you have installed, but the Unmodifiedimicated Traffic mod will usually give you a quick easy fix.
Use whichever method suits you best.

Once again I thank you for the info. Always helpful. And I will try this as soon as I get home. I do have this already installed Im not sure if they will conflict with each other or not?

Also, if the unmodified traffic mod does not do the trick, can I just delete the vehicle.mods that are corresponding to the glitching car?

Hello again,
As the post title goes, I am wondering if there is anyway to fix my replace cars glitching out in SP cut scenes? I am working on replacing the vanilla cars and want to replay SP. However, Im noticing some of the cars glitching out with improper character and seat positions. Bumpers or doors would be off etc. For instance, the repo mission when Franklin repossess the BeeJay, that car was replaced with the real FJ counter part. During the part when Michael appears from the back to get Franklin at gun point was "glitched". Camera was off, seating was off, and when he crashed through the window the doors were off and bumpers. So, I tried another FJ model and bam worked perfect and everything looked good. I did this for a few others that ended up worked great but others not so much and don's see anymore models that I can try.
So that brings me here, and correct if I'm wrong but doesn't it have something to do with dummy placement? If so how can I adjust this for certain cars?
Your help is much appreciated!

@a63nt-5m1th Just wanted to update. After testing I replaced about 30 cars now + 3 addon cars that I made as spawn cars with your help (thank you). 3 of those cars on the list are convertibles with perfectly working tops. I was also brave enough to reinstall my SHV and SHV.net and retried my 6 scripts. No crashes minus the trial and error cars but that was resolved fairly quickly once removed. I think it is safe to say that I am on the right track.
Moral of the story to anyone who is having the same issue is, check all of your car mods as they can very much be the cause of your crashes.
