Would love for someone to be able to add these cars to the game, I'm pretty sure there are models already out there from other games i.e Forza Motorsports........but I wouldn't know how you go about gaining these model files.

@LeeC2202 No problem thanks for that link but for the ymt files, that link won't be able to do the job.

I've managed to get to find a xml converted version of the vanilla carcols.ymt on here, it didn't contain data for all the vehicles in the game, i.e the one i'm currently after data for is the Emperor.

I have also just noticed on the OpenIV website they have got working the functions to convert the ymt files, so its only a matter of time that OpenIV will be updated.

Getting these ymt files decrypted can open up a hell of alot more modding.

@LeeC2202 The ones I'm trying to access are the files in x64a.rpf, seem like they are still encrypted through OpenIV, wasn't sure if someone had found a way of decrypting them, I'm guessing those carcols carvariation etc etc are the main files of the vanilla cars?

Not sure if this has been asked before but if it has sorry but I really want to know if these files are accessible or still encrypted and no chance of getting them? Theres a few car replacement mods, that I want to make as addons, seeing as there are already car addons, are the modders just making up there on files or are they based on vanilla cars?

@Akila_Reigns Well at first you would of thought 16gb was enough but it doesn't seem to be, but what lee mentioned about replacing the files with larger files does make sense, I will revert back to the 1x traffic, but to late now to check to see if the game was stable with all the mods I had because I have already started to put back in the original files, but it would be nice to actually have a lot of modded cars in the game to use, I'm not worried about them being used by the AI.

How did you manage to stop the cars you replaced from spawning in the traffic? Maybe I could use that, but surely stopping those replaced cars from spawning in the traffic it would reduce the variety of cars driving around?

@LeeC2202 To be honest, at first I wanted the cars to spawn in traffic but now it is causing a few problems and I can't keep the game open any longer than 10 minutes ( that was the final test ) think its best to just add the cars as dlc addons and spawn them when I need them.

I saw on the comments on the https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/gta-5-gameconfig-300-cars that people have had over 400 cars replaced and x amount of addons and the author stated that he has 1100 cars in the game but he doesn't say whether they are replacements or addons......So would be good if someone with experience of using addons came on in.

Haha no worries, were all getting old still never solved that "invalid model" issue but the other worked good

@LeeC2202 Yeah I actually agree with you there and now you mentioned it, it seems so obvious that replacing this amount of cars with bigger files will cause problems, I have seen alot of the cars I replaced spawning in the traffic and one of them I did replace the Futo, I replaced it with the Ford Sierra Cosworth, guessing the way forward and a better option to use cars in the game is to add them as DLC's but I have had a few problems with getting DLC cars to work.

I've already downloaded that config, I'm now using the 2.5x traffic config.

Been getting these crashes now that are happening from like 5 seconds to around 3 minutes of when I enter game.

I have around 24 mods installed so far, all made up of about 5 car addons, 18 car replacements and 1 texture mod pack, all was running smoothly but now I'm getting all these out of memory errors -

[ERR_MEM_EMBEDDEDALLOC_GUARD_1]
Game memory error. Please reboot and restart the game.

[ERR_MEM_EMBEDDEDALLOC_GUARD_2]
Game memory error. Please reboot and restart the game.

My PC specs are

Intel i5 2500k @ 3.8ghz O'Ced
GTX 970 4GB
16GB RAM
SSD
Win 10 anniversary

I noticed when playing using the msi afterburner overlay that when in-game the RAM usage is shooting up continuously, it never lowers or stays stable, I'm watching it go up from 4750 RAM used to like 8934 RAM used and still climbing, vRam used is around 3200 in-game. Surely I can't be running out of memory with 4GB of video RAM and 16GB of RAM?

I have tried different gameconfig.xml's
