This update focuses on improving the overall quality, reliability, and immersion of Los Santos Alive following the AI Callouts update.

A large amount of work has gone into refining existing systems, expanding NPC behaviours, fixing long-standing issues, and making interactions feel even more natural. While this isn't a major feature release, it lays further groundwork for the next wave of AI systems currently in development.

As always, thank you to everyone testing the update, submitting bug reports, sharing clips, and helping shape the future of Los Santos Alive.

New Features

New NPC Commands

NPCs can now:

• Walk backwards towards the sound of your voice.

• Turn around.

• Sit on the ground.

• Dynamically lean against your vehicle, intelligently selecting the hood, trunk, or side depending on where they're standing.

These additions make conversations and roleplay scenarios feel significantly more natural.

AI & Behaviour Improvements

Completely Overhauled NPC Archetypes

Every default archetype has been reworked and the list of recognised archetypes has been significantly expanded.

Citizens now better reflect the diverse personalities, occupations and lifestyles found throughout Los Santos, resulting in conversations that feel more authentic and better suited to the world around them.

More Independent NPC Behaviour

NPCs are now even more likely to:

• perform actions on their own initiative

• make independent decisions

• react naturally without waiting for direct player instruction

This makes the world feel increasingly alive, with NPCs behaving more like real people than scripted characters.

Smoother Animation States

Numerous NPC animation transitions have been refined to produce smoother, more believable behaviour during interactions.

LSPDFR & PR Improvements

Complete Compliance Overhaul

Compliance is now fully controlled by Los Santos Alive.

Rather than relying on static scripted behaviour, suspects can now naturally escalate or de-escalate encounters based on the evolving situation, creating significantly more dynamic police interactions.

Performance & Stability

Traffic Stops Completely Fixed

Resolved the remaining issues affecting traffic stop reliability.

Traffic stops should now operate consistently and reliably across all supported scenarios.

Conversation Performance Improvements

Fixed the occasional performance drop that could occur while talking to NPCs.

Conversations should now remain consistently smooth during extended interactions.

Hidden Local Server

The bundled local server now launches hidden by default, eliminating the command prompt window during startup.

For developers and advanced users, the console can still be enabled at any time through the configuration file for debugging purposes.

Miscellaneous Improvements

• Improved overall interaction reliability.

• Various behavioural refinements throughout the AI runtime.

• Additional polish across numerous NPC systems.

Development continues at a rapid pace, and we're incredibly excited about what's coming next. We're not quite ready to share more just yet, but we look forward to revealing what we've been working on in the near future.
