Welcome in second part of first level of proper vehicle replacing tutorial. In first part we prepared all the files and we are ready to start replacing.

Replace models

From this moment I will be not putting every archive name between quotation marks because all the time when I’ll write ‘archive’ you will know I’m speaking about ‘.rpf’ file as for example was ‘dlc.rpf’, now I would call it only dlc.rpf archive or just dlc archive.

Let’s get started for the first easy step which is replacing a models we prepared. We got opened OpenIV and your folder with prepared files, so use search tool and search for reaper.yft as we did choose Reaper as the car we will replace.

As I mentioned in first part of tutorial, we got it in 2 locations and they should be with blue background in search results. If you see more or less locations where is this file, there are 3 possible reasons.

  1. You see 4 locations. Two of them have a bit blue background and two of them have no background, meaning white background color. You should know this but in case you don’t I’m explaining this as well. Blue color background
