MANUAL INSTALLATION
========================================

1) Start OpenIV and enable "Edit mode."

2) Navigate to update\update.rpf\common\data. Click "Copy to mods folder," (or "Show in mods folder" if you've already done that).

3) Right click and edit dlclist.xml.

4) Paste this line near the bottom, below all of the other dlcpacks: <Item>dlcpacks:/unitedplates/</Item>

5) Save.

6) Now navigate to mods\update\x64\dlcpacks. If the x64 and dlcpacks folders don't exist, create them.

7) Drag one of the "unitedplates" folders included in this download (located in HD version or SD version), into the dlcpacks directory in OpenIV. I recommend the HD version because the textures look a lot nicer, but the choice is yours.

8) Navigate to mods\update\update.rpf\x64\data.

8) Right click carcols.ymt and click "Edit."

9) Scroll down to line 70 where it says </Item>. Click on the end of the line and hit enter to create an empty line between </Item> and <Item>.

9) Open up the "add to carcols.txt" included in this download, and copy all of its contents. Paste them in the empty line you created in carcols.ymt.

11) Save.

12) Now, to add the files that make plates appear in traffic. Open up the "traffic files" folder.

13) Navigate to mods\update\update.rpf, and replace all three folders (common, dlc_patch, and x64) with the ones included in this mod.

14) Start up GTA5 and enjoy! Use your trainer to change your vehicle's license plates to the new ones.
