[I'm not the author of any car of this pack, just a compiler. So all thanks to all of them for their work and giving permission. Car & author's list and links to their webs in an excel sheet.]

Yes, another car pack, but this is 'lightweight' (195 mb)

The humble purpose is to HELP with the 'disappear textures' problem when using ikt's TRAFFIC LOAD (The best taxi bug fix currently out there).
http://www.gta4-mods.com/script/trafficload-f9780

So, it's a pack thought for low/mid-end pc's and is a compiling of the best (quality/filesize) 'balanced' cars. Just about 50 cars replaced, and all are low/mid poly filesize. (2 mb WFT or less, the majority of them, just a few a little over 3 mb.).
If your system's got memory problems when using some mods simultaneously, IMHO this small car pack could help better than if you got all cars replaced. I'm just looking for equilibrium, not 'maximum quality'. And maybe your system could take a breath if it can load in memory some default cars sometimes.

* Reality, quality, variety and gameplay.
* All 4-door replaces 4-door, and etc.
* All cars look good with a good ENB (i think so).
* Famous Killatomate's 'Realistic driving & flying' included for all bikes and some other cars i didn't replace.
* Cargrp.dat & vehicles.ide tweaked for realistic traffic. (Supercars are rare).
* Real names of each car (5 languages).
* Bonnet & Trunk cameras tweaked.
* Tested on 1.0.4.0 version. Also another folder includes files for 1.0.7.0.
* Extra: Lambo sound for coquette.
* To be done: add EPM support, new cars, etc.

If this works for you, you can increase the number of cars till you find your performance equilibrium.

(As i said, not included in the pack)
Posted on January 29, 2012 4:25PM by Jotov_24
You should make a list of all the car replacements and post it up in the description man.
Posted on January 30, 2012 2:21AM by MarkC9
<= Updated list in the description too.

I forgot to say there is a small tutorial about common 'disappearing textures' problem (when using TrafficLoad) in the readme file and troubleshooting.

Don't forget this is a main purpose of this 'lightweight' car pack.

When is this gonna be aproved? Give us a link in the meanwhile man!

? It works smoothly for me.

Have you tried to download again using both links?. Be sure it's not your winRar or antivirus blocking the download.

Had anybody the same problem?
Posted on January 30, 2012 2:16PM by Jotov_24
it's finally approved! the download link had no errors for me, great job and the missing textures are fixed now. there are not much cars in the pack but it's better than nothing right, good choice of cars too. Only thing I replaced was the murcielago, I don't think it fits in the game, so I put a Corvette in there, but still good job 10/10
Posted on January 31, 2012 1:51AM by ShawnNL
Downloaded it again from rapidshare link its working now for me :) :) Great job Thank again
Posted on January 31, 2012 2:45AM by ratedxr
Tried making it work with no luck, since it only seems to be me I won't down-vote you. Looked like a good mod though.
Posted on February 2, 2012 7:27PM by cvpi
@cvpi: What exactly didn't work? Remember to be sure your game is moddable: (xlive, dsound, etc.) and respect every folder. Which GTA4 version are you using?

To the rest: Thx for the comments, glad to read it works. Consider this pack a 'starting point' to continue replacing cars by yourselves if you want.
Posted on February 3, 2012 3:35AM by Jotov_24
This means all cars are not modded?
Posted on February 3, 2012 2:54PM by Beamer
All good except a little too much luxury, try replacing them with old cars.
Posted on February 3, 2012 5:21PM by l3eans
Guy, I am trying to download this great Pack, but cannot do it.

I am new in this, please help!! :|
Posted on February 4, 2012 11:27AM by RodoMustang
I am being requested to pay for the download at the links the car pack creator posted, is that the way should be? by paying for the download?
Posted on February 4, 2012 11:52AM by RodoMustang
Pay?? both are free. If dropbox is busy use the rapidshare one. In rapidshare, just click the free one, the green button.
Posted on February 4, 2012 11:57AM by Jotov_24
Added new link to Mediafire if someone's having trouble with other 2. Thx admin for quick re-approve ;)
Posted on February 4, 2012 1:30PM by Jotov_24
This is a pretty good idea. Well done! WOn't use it (I like it high detailled), but its a usefull addition to the modding world.
Posted on February 4, 2012 2:00PM by Threepwood
Do I have to be registered in any of those links? sorry guys, I kind new on this, just trying not to be so stupid. :$
Posted on February 4, 2012 3:48PM by RodoMustang
Hey Jotov. I have downloaded your pack and love it. But would it be a biggie for you to upload your savegame too? I'd really really really appreciate it.
Posted on February 6, 2012 3:01AM by Extornia
@RodoMustang: lol, you don't have to register anywhere or pay anything, just download the rar file and follow the instructions provided in README_ENG text.

@Extornia: Don't know what savegame you talkin' about, but u got plenty savegames out there. Like this one:(Remember to delete all parked default cars as i said in read_me.)

http://www.gta4-mods.com/misc/100-save-files-f11224

@Threepwood: Appreciate nice words from a big name. Thx.
Posted on February 6, 2012 8:43AM by Jotov_24
hi what cars are there
Posted on February 16, 2012 2:45AM by tr550111
Game wont start up :/ keeps crashing, im on 1070
Posted on February 26, 2012 2:38AM by OneEightySX
@OneEightySx: Be sure the correct folders and using correct ScriptHook, xlive, etc. and they aren't interfering with other mods you'd have. Try again without text files (.gxt). Also check if you have all latest C++ & net.framework updated.

Btw, i still recommend 1.0.4.0 for better performance and compatibility with other mods, as ENB's.
Posted on February 26, 2012 2:36PM by Jotov_24
UPDATE FOR 1.0.7.0 ONLY:

--------------------------------------------------

I forgot to warn the language files (common/text/*.gxt) are only for 1.0.4.0, so maybe people using them into 1.0.7.0 could suffer crashes, like the guy above.

<=So i've uploaded a patch with new text files only for 1.0.7.0 version. There are new links below the main three, in the download file.

Greetings, hope this works.
Posted on February 27, 2012 12:56PM by Jotov_24
Really good upload, rated 10/10. :) Glad to see you kept the slower PCs in mind.
Posted on April 1, 2012 12:51PM by Geosmith

Great pack! finally i can use hd cars without disappearing textures or traffic load issue, thank you very much.
Posted on February 10, 2013 6:23AM by krueger96
Great pack, thanks! downloaded this instead of the evolved haha,

If i only use trafficload, i only meet 1 car or two. if i only use RealTraffic.asi, The game crashes. But if both, the traffic is normal. why

Thanks
