Since GTA V, one thing that has bugged me was the original "Vapid Stanier" (seen in GTA IV as the main police/taxi cruisers) being confirmed to be a car from the 1990's within the Lore, and yet it is still used as the primary service sedan of Liberty City even in 2008! This mod aims to bring its more modern successor model from GTA V, known collectively within the fandom as the "2nd Gen Stanier" to IV with some enhancements and inspiration from the iconic Crown Vic P71, while still being faithful to Rockstars original crafted lore and designs!
As of V.1.0. this mod includes the following models:
- 2nd Gen Vapid Stanier - L.C.C Taxi Car (taxi)
- 2nd Gen Vapid Stanier - LCPD Police Cruiser (police)
- 2nd Gen Vapid Stanier - NOoSE Cruiser (noose)
Features:
- All basic vehicle functions, full dirt mapping, proper LODs etc
- Overhauled 2nd Gen Stanier model, complete with GTA IV style panel gapping and stylings inspired by the original IV Stanier model
- Bug fixes, model and texture improvements, new HQ badge textures and interior details, etc
- Toggleable vehicle extras for greater model variety
- Models are fully livery mapped with a 4K template provided for making your own skins!
- Lore Friendly CVPI style steelie wheels for all models
- Optional models that will bring back the vanilla GTA IV wheels
- Optional texture that brings back the clear indicator lights seen on the original GTA V model
- Optional textures that give the Police model more PCT/Unit codes
- Optional texture that gives the Taxi model a more modern Lore Friendly NYC Taxi design
- Optional texture to revert back to GTA IV's PIA livery for Noose
- Optional texture to revert back to GTA IV's vanilla Taxi ads
A big thank you to GCT for letting me use his original IV Stanier base model, without him this mod would not be possible. If you like these type of in-universe, lore friendly mods, then go check out some of his content. They are well worth your time!
