Modder Scrapper13 published the NFSMW12: Fairhaven PD PACK on VertexMods on April 4, delivering the unmistakable blue-and-white Ford Crown Victorias of the Fairhaven City Police Department into GTA V as a fully realized add-on vehicle pack, complete with custom siren soundbanks and pursuit-tuned handling metadata.

The Fairhaven PD name pulls directly from Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012), Criterion Games' open-world racer published by Electronic Arts on October 30, 2012. The nineteenth entry in the Need for Speed franchise, it set players loose in Fairhaven City, a fictional metropolis modeled on the architectural character and street layouts of Boston and Pittsburgh. The FCPD served as the game's primary antagonist force, deploying Crown Victorias in that distinctive blue-and-white livery out of their downtown district headquarters to intercept any driver committing illegal driving activity on sight. The game's cultural standing was formalized at both the 2012 Spike Video Game Awards and the 16th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, where it won Racing Game of the Year at each ceremony.

Scrapper13's pack replicates that aesthetic with high-quality exterior models, functional lightbar setups, and bespoke soundbanks that replace or augment GTA V's default siren audio. The custom handling metadata is tuned to the mass and dynamics of an emergency vehicle under pursuit conditions, which meaningfully changes how the cars behave in chases rather than simply reskinning existing GTA V police models.

Installation follows the standard add-on vehicle workflow: the pack drops into mods/update/x64/dlcpacks with a corresponding dlclist.xml entry to register it with the game. Scrapper13's page includes step-by-step instructions and asset credits. The prerequisite list covers ScriptHookV, Simple Trainer, a compatible gameconfig, and both the Heap and Packfile limit adjusters for stability. ScriptHookV, developed and continuously maintained by Alexander Blade, is the foundational utility that bridges custom ASI plugins and GTA V's native script environment; it runs exclusively in single-player mode and automatically disables itself in GTA Online to block cheating. Alexander Blade issues ScriptHookV updates in lockstep with each Rockstar patch, making it a living dependency for any vehicle pack built on this stack.

The listing also ships with a paintjob template and explicit FiveM compatibility notes, positioning it for the roleplay server market as well as single-player cinematics. FiveM, the Cfx.re-powered multiplayer modification framework first released in 2016, draws over 200,000 daily players and has become the dominant platform for police, EMS, and government roleplay simulations. A vehicle pack with ready-made FiveM integration can reach active server operators almost immediately after publication, giving Scrapper13's pack a potential audience that extends well beyond GTA V's base of more than 100 million copies sold since the game's original 2013 release.

Large vehicle packs strain memory limits, and Scrapper13's page flags the gameconfig requirement alongside the Heap and Packfile fixers explicitly; test in a controlled environment before pushing the pack into a live server build. With the FCPD's heat-level escalation and relentless pursuit AI still vivid in the memory of anyone who played NFS: Most Wanted in 2012, the Fairhaven branding gives this pack a recognizable identity that generic police reskins simply cannot replicate.
