---SA More People v4 by Nebucha---


Description:

This mod adds significantly more peds to the streets and vehicles to the roads by editing CustomSettings.ini and popcycle.dat. Increasing vehicle traffic comes at a slight trade-off to vehicle spawn distance, which means cars will pop in to existence closer to the player.

*****WARNING*****

This mod modifies these same parameters as Better LOD Config:

gta.peds.distance
gta.cars.distance
gta.cars.density (OPTIONAL. Delete this setting to have car density handled by SAMorePeople, or set it to 80.0 to maximize car density always)

Setting the same variable more than once in CustomSettings.ini will likely cause the game to crash. If you have other mods (ex. Better LOD Config) that alter these same variables, make sure to overwrite or delete them before using these.

*****WARNING*****

Why decrease vehicle spawn distance? San Andreas DE seems to spawn and track vehicles within a circle around the player with a radius determined by the car spawning distance (gta.cars.distance). Decreasing this distance a little bit will greatly decrease the area the game has to track vehicles, and so it can fit vehicles more densely into this region before hitting the engine limit. That's the understanding I gather from my tests, but feel free to mess with the .ini values and see for yourself what works best.




Changelog:

v1 - Initial
v2 - Adjusted to fit to vanilla popcycle.dat distributions with increased density
v3 - Adjusted popcycle values and added CustomSettings.ini settings for denser traffic
v4 - Adjusted popcycle values for more realism, reduced dealer frequency, added warning
