Hey @Hunk, love what you've done here, essential for a car obsessive nut like myself. Glad to see you're still active.
I'm having an interesting issue I'm hoping you can help with. I've had no issues until all of a sudden when ever I switch to Michael I get an error message and the "phone app" disappears as well as all of my saved cars for Michael. If I switch back to Franklin or Trevor their saved cars are still present but the "phone app" is still missing. I can load back to a previous save where I'm Franklin, "Phone app" present and working. I can switch between Franklin and Trevor no problem, but the moment I switch to Michael I get the error again and it removes the "phone app" for all characters.
It states the following:
Unhandled exception in script "VehicleSaveSH3.VehicleSave SH3"!

NullReferenceException at VehicleSaveSH3.VehicleSaveSH3.loadData(VehiclevehicleToLoad) in
C:\Users\Hunk\source\repos\VehicleSaveSH3/VehicleSaveSH3_PROJECT\VehicleSaveSH3.CS:line 2524

@ChickenMan68 Did you replace clean SavedVehicles.xml file from latest version archive? It can occur cause of old vehicle save structure

I did not. I just noticed you've released a few updates since 4.0. Going to do that.

i tested with addon cars, it still doesn't save tint, rims and livery changes everytime it reloads, I haven't tested body kits such as bumpers yet but plz fix

i would love for it to save bumpers and spoilers but if that's a stretch, the rims, tint and livery is most important

yup i tested both addon and vanilla cars, no tuning parts are being saved at all only the colour saves

@Hunk I can confirm the issue @jerome74 is encountering. It seems to be a new issue all of a sudden. Everything was fine up until yesterday I believe. Suddenly the wheels on my saved cars are reverting back to stock when they load in. It seems as though some of the other parts are doing the same. The only thing consistently saving is the paint job. Let me know if there's anything you need from me to help investigate this.

@ChickenMan68 did the version before this work better for tuning parts?

@jerome74 I missed the middle updates. I went from 4.0 to 4.4. GTA had a minor update I think and 4.0 started having issues. I'm not sure older versions of this Mod are going to be compatible with the current version of GTA.. I could be wrong

This shouldn't let you sell cars unless you own it. There's a flag for that in the data structure. (Same rules as impound determine "own" - you've invested money in it, or garaged it.)
For cars you don't own, it should let you chop shop it. $50 goes into the "Towing Impound cash" (there's a variable for this) , $50 goes into the Scrapyard cash (again, another variable), and 1% of the car value goes to the player.

Can this fully replace Persistence II ?

working great. i am experiencing one problem... my car often won't start even with plenty of gas, i have to select 'repair vehicle' in Menyoo to get it started, although it's not damaged.

Good mod. But I have a problem, the saved cars won't start until you turn on the engine manually through the vehicle control menu. Is it possible to fix this or make a shortcut key to start the engine?

Having the same problem as @Saddas

@Hunk @Saddas i don't know if i have a different mod that enables me, but my engine start keys are X on keyboard and controller (unless its the manual transmission mod)
the cars need to despawn if I am at a certain distance away though, I'm not sure if that's the case but it eats way too much memory, another persistence mod did this.. all these persistence mods have great potential but they always end up adding too many unnecessary features rather than keeping it simple and fixing current problems, they all did this free and no one asked them to initial, we are truly grateful. but we cant truly appreciate something that's broken.

@O-MATIX if the car sits for long enough, like through character changes or getting a certain distance away the car wont start with out using the "phone app". I found using the F6 short cut was easiest, select the car you're in and then "turn on engine" with DEL(delete) key.

some addon cars crash the mod, any solution?

Sell car features error & stuck,please fix it

Best vehicle mod, love the way people come to buy the car gives a touch of realism, I use this mod with Los Santos Red and I feel like playing a rp

The car service often disappears in the address book. Please Fix it.
