Thank you both for all the pictures. The CARE stuff is really sweet and I now have a reason to make another variation. The county FD stuff is quite suitable but I won't make every vehicle. Maybe a few engines. More civ cars:

Hi everyone! Progress on the lights has been good and steady so far. Didn't have time to make a video of them tho, but they're quite a view. Also done the unmarked CVPI. EDIT: I can't show you yet the slicktop CVPI because lights pattern seems a bit "erratic" to me. I have to double check them. EDIT 2: anyone knows where I can find any assets for american taxis? It would be much appreciated Credits: Terrow (Terrow Rambar)

Looking good, itchboy.

I decided to delete my FD folder, and restarted. again. the only vehicles moving on are E111 (pictured below) and the USAR trailer i had made previously. T116 is a new vehicle i made using THVFD's tanker body and Itchyboy's Peterbilt 330. I also rebranded from 'Platy County' to Hendrick County. although, after just glancing at my images it would appear my brain does not work, and it's both Henderson and Hendrick county. Will be fixed. Platy County EMS and Medstar will be staying (of course being renamed to Hendrick County EMS), and LVPD will be staying. I'm thinking of ditching PCSO's livery for something new, but i'm not sure what. I will however be adding Tennessee State Police (my favorite looking ones, and as Logi-Valley is entirely fictional, it works for me.) Something else i've been working on, is a Publix. it's pretty barren at the moment, though. And with that, i'll crawl back into my den. Incase you havent seen it, check out my updated UI too we're at V0.0.5 now! Have a good day! 2023-04-05_00-14-14.mov

I'll just lay it out here before things get too heated - any mod has the right to be called unspec. That's freedom of speech and no different than say, me calling any other project as unspec. I look at things and call them unspec all the time. However, calling something unspec and gatekeeping are two separate issues being conflated into one discussion. I'll be watching the thread for now; it gets locked if people can't play nice. The usage terms of the mod are to be respected, that's just it. Not up for debate. That's not gatekeeping. That's respecting individual rights. What is allowed though, is the creation of any other Miami themed project as long as it doesn't infringe on others' asset usage terms. Nobody has a monopoly on a Miami project. If you can do it better, go for it. If I were to suggest a healthier point of discussion - make a new thread about a new mod idea, featuring something else like mainland Miami City, the 'glades or any of the suburbial areas in the county area. Option C would be a team effort among the factions to create proper spec for Miami Beach FD and PD. I leave it to you people to work this out moving forward.

What an insulting comment and show's what kind of person you really are I would like to say more but I will avoid getting myself banned. I would of thought you are one of the first to complain that there isn't enough modders out there anymore, and your comment is the reason why most modders have left. Emc has given a whole lot of his free time ( more than most ) to create a mod for the community to play free of charge and what for? to be insulted by someone like you? If you don't like it why not make something yourself? I guess you can't and don't have the talents of EmC, but are much better at disrespecting people and there work. You are laughable and it's a shame you are part of this community

What confusion would accurate edits cause? I find you a lot more confusing, working on Airport apparatus without planning an Airport (?), French Missionspec vehicles (?) and so many more vehicles that make absolutely no sense + that you do not even plan on releasing. You work on Nicklaus ambulances but have completely ignored the Miami Beach Fire Rescue ambulances in its entirety - even though the map is set in Miami Beach. Nicklaus isn’t even anywhere near MB. What even is FHP doing there? There is no FHP in MB. You rarely ever see MDFR in MB - where is the MBFD? A second firestation doesn‘t fix the inaccuracy. You‘d rather see red Miami FR Ambulances than a Dade one. It’s just all so wrong I strongly believe anybody out here making edits makes them for the sake of finally bringing some accuracy to the mod. You make edits for… I don’t even know for what. 99% of the time it makes no sense. These downvotes also just add to the comedic effect, honestly.

If you believe what I said was insulting; then that is on you. There absolutely aren't enough modders because mods are being gatekept like this. Any sort of criticism in this community is being met with a shocked Pikachu emoji. People get offended at the smallest things. Ego's crushed by retexturing apparatus. Do you even see what's happening? Have you even read your response to my comment? Did you even fully understand my comment at all? This mod is a living example of why the community is the way it is. "Don't edit" - "Don't retexture" - "Don't showcase". If this mod would be the epitome of a Miami experience, I would understand. But it is FAR from. Different opinions exist, I am not judging yours. I'm just really tired of the way it's already normalized to gatekeep mods due to fragile ego's. So no, I'm not bowing down. If you believe that's a shame and laughable, keep going. Edit: Also, I don't see how I've insulted EM-C. Stating facts is not insulting, it's really needed. Criticism is needed. If we all keep affirming bad practices, we get nowhere. What you get in the end is the EM4 community. Maybe if we wouldn't act like fragile snowflakes, we'd be in a much better position. Admitting when mods aren't the way they're supposed to be and blaming lack of content and skilled modders on gatekeeping the simplest things. Sayonara ♥

Just do it. Realistically, what is EM-C gonna do? Gatekeeping a mod which is extremely mid (nobody dares to admit it) and so unbelievably off in basically every way imaginable is just plain insulting to everybody who lives in the Dade area. This mod is a fever dream of somebody who has no interest in accuracy and completely disregards the actual look and feel of Miami / Miami Beach. EM-C made his own weird version of Miami with this mod - How this has taken over 10 years is still absolutely beyond me. I understand the map texture itself was unchangable until I released my reverse-engineering tool, but it is so incredibly basic and inaccurate. I've talked to A LOT of people in the community over the past 12 months regarding this mod, and nearly every single person agrees (while not always publicly) that this mod is... "not as it should be". Everything about it is wrong. From the bottom of everybodies heart: showcase the edits! Downvotes just prove my point btw. Gatekeeping sucks.
