HELP! Car Mods (Spark IV), Worked Fine, Now lost a

[AlecMK]

Hello,

 

OK so I've been installing mods for a few months now and recently while playing about with some new mods, then restoring previous mods backup it screwed up the game. I would load the game and 1 of 2 things would happen, either it would load in but no vehicles exist (also noticed other things missing like the phone) or it would crash in the loading phase. I own GTA IV on Steam, so I deleted local files (uninstalled) and re downloaded the game, it worked fine with no mods installed and my last save games, then when I installed the mods that I had previously used before any issues (so they should all be working fine) it goes back to the problems. So I then got rid of the mods by loading my backup database of the car mods back in (again using Spark IV) yet the problem still exists.

 

I have no idea what's causing it or if there is any fix. Any help from the experienced users here would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

did u restore the handling dat, carcols dat and sh*t

I restored the entire 'vehicles.img' folder (GTAIV > PC > Models > CD Images > Vehicles.img) So I'm not sure if that's included in the .wtd / .wft files.

Just another thing, in the 'vehicles.img' directory, I noticed that the 'Resource' column all says 'No.' I'm sorry but I'm a complete newbie to this, and wasn't sure if this was right or not.

i mean the handling.dat and the carcols dat -.-. they are located in common>data. and no you cannot use sparksiv to access them. if you did not even modifiy carcols or handling or vehicles.ide, the game will not run smoothly.
