compatibility
- Coroner Service
- Vanillalworks expansion pack
- Lively World 0.5 (to be updated)

Basically, when you're a police officer, the towing service doesn't proactively look for vehicles, letting you tag them yourself rather than taking over your job.
- Compatibility - Developers
This script uses two decorators to handle vehicles, applied to player peds:
- [boolean] HandledByTow: When false, this vehicle will have a Tow assigned to it. When HandledByTow is true, it means that a tow truck has been dispatched and is working to get the car off the street.
- [boolean] DontInterrupt: The script will not send a trailer for this vehicle.
- [boolean] TSActiveSearch: If this script is disabled, the script will not look for vehicles to tow.
Command/Cheat (tilde or º key)
- "Call towing": Calls the tow truck of the nearest vehicle.
- "TSActiveSearch": Toggle active search. When enabled, abandoned cars will be towed automatically.
feature
Separate NPC and player services
NPCs will have their vehicles towed automatically, and options in the .ini define what vehicles are towed.
If his car breaks down, the player will be prompted to call a towing service.
The script uses Skylifts, for large vehicles, Towtrucks for regular vehicles, and flatbed trucks for destroying vehicles.
You can have your car secured in place by a towing service or towed to the nearest LS Customs. If you have the service repair your car on site, the cost will depend on the amount of damage to the vehicle ($50 per tire, $200 for the engine, and $100 for the gas tank).
Manual service call for any vehicle you want

Provide towing services for NPCs
A tow truck will come to any vehicle that has been damaged (smoking engine, dead driver, any tires blown). While they actually drive to the damaged vehicle, they can only actually back it up if there isn't much traffic around them. If anything, they'd skip the fallback to avoid traffic jams because the AI is a bit wonky.
Don't worry about your vehicle, this part of the script is not considered.
Any car is called towing service
Approach the vehicle and enter the "Call Tow" cheat.
Provide towing services for players
If your vehicle is severely damaged, you can call Tow service by holding the handbrake and pressing it (press E). Wait until the tow truck arrives and the driver repairs your vehicle.
*The player fee is $50, plus the cost of actual repairs to the vehicle.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
