• GTAIVModSetup1.0.0.1
• Realistic Car Pack v4 [USE 4SHARED Version]

• Winrar or similar

Directions:

Step 1: Update GTA IV to patch 1.0.7.0

Step 2: Install GTAIVModSetup1.0.0.1
This will do 3 things that you need for modding GTAIV

1. It will install xliveless and another ASI loader
2. It will install ScriptHookDotNet
3. And it will install 2 sample mods:
1. Simple Income: 1.0.0.0
2. And Bodyguard Script v1.4.0.0B

Step 3: Delete the sample scripts (GTAIVMODBodyguardScript.net.dll - GTAIVMODBodyguardScript - GGTAIVMODSimpleIncome.net.dll) from the scrips folder located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTAIV\scripts.

Step 4: Extract Realistic Car Pack v4 files

Step 5: Copy every file from the Realistic Car Pack v4 to its corresponding folder in your GTAIV directory EXECPT FOR THE FILES american.gtx, newveh.img, and vehicles.img!

Step 6: Use OpenIV

1. Go to file, create new archive, GTA IMG Archive(.img), save it as newveh, in the location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTAIV\pc\models\cdimages
2. Close OpenIV

Step 7: Use Sparks IV

1. Go to browse
2. Scroll down to GTAIV\pc\models\cdimages
3. Click on newveh.img
4. Click import and search for newveh.img in the files you extracted in step 4
5. Click save
6. Repeat steps 1-5 but instead of newveh.img chose vehicle.img

Step 8: Install Traffic Load by extracting the files into your GTAIV directory or simply  copying mscr100d.dll, Trafficload.ini and TrafficLoad.asi to your GTAIV directory. This will remove the taxi bug and generate cars more randomly.

Step 9: Create a notepad file with the following  text and save to your GTAIV directory. Save as commandline.txt. This will help load textures regardless if you run the mod or not.

That should be all you need to run Realistic Car Pack v4. There may be some redundancy in this guide but this is how i got mine to work and it should  be 100% guaranteed to work for you if you follow the steps. Make sure your computer is up to date and your graphics card can handle the new car textures. ALSO MAKE SURE YOUR GAME DOES NOT HAVE ANY CARS IN ANY SAVE LOCATIONS.
