I personally use the value of around 8000 to 10000.

INSTALLATION
OpenIV is required for installation.
Installation instructions are included in the download files, the installation is not very difficult and just requires to replace 3 files.
The EASY BASE CONFIG version is only for changes in spawning NPC groups and new DLC cars added to the traffic. It should work on every GTA 5 Version.
The FULL version comes with an FiveM support, increased traffic density options, additional options and enhanced support instructions.
It might be less compatible with other mods or game versions than the one mentioned in the README.
This features both support for
- GTA 5 (Legacy)
- GTA 5 Enhanced
This mod also supports FiveM.
An package installer for OpenIV is included.
The newest 2. 2. 5 FULL version of this mod was mainly build for GTA 5 Legacy v. 1. 0. 3788(Online 1. 72)(A safehouse in the hills update)(Legacy support) and GTA 5 Enhanced v 1. 0. 1013. 34 (Online 1. 72) (A safehouse in the hills update). It might be not fitting with your personal GTA version.
This mod will improve your ingame traffic and ped density and level of realism.
There are several points this mod will change ingame and enhance them, for example:
1. DLC-Cars and new non-DLC cars will now spawn in traffic. There is a variety of new cars, like sportscars, suvs and busses to spawn. For Example:
- liberator truck
- new boats
- new busses
- new bikes
There won't spawn all dlc cars available, because i saw now point in adding futuristic stuff that doesn't fit the game. For this kind of game, there is gta online. All DLC cars will spawn in parts of the city where it's realistic.
2. Police officers are now active in the Streets of Los Santos Country.
For example, there are:
- Police Officers of the LSPD patrol the streets of Los Santos and the freeways around Los Santos by car and on foot.
- Police Oficcers of the LSSD patrol the area of Los Santos County, Sandy Shores and parts of the suburbs of Los Santos, like Davis, on foot and in cars.
- The SAHP will now patrol the highways outside the city by motorcycles
- The Police will use regular police cars on patrol. At night, at dangerous areas, like the Gang Areas of Los Santos,they will also use heavy vehicles, like armored transporters.
-Also, Police will prefer to patrol the high-risk level places more often than other parts of the city (For Example: Gang Areas or very prouded places)
- Juristiction Fix - Sheriff will now also patrol the streets of Davis (Los Santos)
Sometimes, FIB Agents are walking around in PIllbox Hill (Downtown Los Santos) near the FIB skyscraper.
- Prison busses are also rarely driving between the police stations in Los Santos and the Prison. They prefer to drive at night, or at midday. As an alternative, sometimes prison busses are replaced by LSPD Transporters for Prisoners that are transfered between police stations in LS, or NOOSE Trucks for very dangerous inmates.
- NOOSE (SWAT) Teams are sometimes driving in RIOT Trucks in the city at night, like they are on their way to a high level arrest or patrol very high risk, violent areas. They are mainly operating at Davis and Rancho, Gang Areas of Los Santos, or rarely at Sandy Shores between 1 and 4 o'clock at night.
- The military is now also equipped with squaddies, stationed at Zanduco Military Base
- There are a couple of other additioins in the Military Base, like armored marines patroling in the base, or Noose Operators rarely interacting with military stuff
3. The density of the traffic and the amount of pedestrians that walk around is way better improved, enhanced and expanded
- in some parts of the city and the county there won't spawn a lot of cars and vehicles, also at certain times, like at 3 AM, there is a rapid decrease of traffic in most areas.
- in other parts, like the freeway, there are a lot of ca
