### Why is this vehicle still using the default profile even after I created a table in SIRENS\_ASSIGNMENTS?

The most likely cause for this is the use of an incorrect key in SIRENS\_ASSIGNMENTS. The key in siren assignments needs to align with the vehicles `<gameName>` as found in `vehicles.meta`. The keys first 11 characters also need to be unique due to base game limitations.

To verify this look at these two methods:

* **In game using LVC debug:** Enter the car in question, use command `/lvcdebug` this will display a notification with the gameName and log other useful information to the F8 console.
* **In game using menu**: Enter the car in questions, navigate to 'Storage Management'. The description of the 'Save Profile' button will read "Using DEFAULT profile for "*\<gameName>*". Ensure this matches identically (case-sensitive) to the key as outlined in SIREN\_ASSIGNMENTS.
* **Out of game using `vehicles.meta`**: Locate the `vehicles.meta` file and verify that the vehicle in questions `<gameName>XXXXXXXX</gameName>` = \['XXXXXXXX'] in SIREN\_ASSIGNMENTS.

### How do I fix "SCRIPT ERROR: @lvc/UTIL/cl\_utils.lua:XX bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)"?

This indicates that there was a problem loading your SIREN\_ASSIGNMENTS table from your SIRENS.lua.

What causes the table to not be loaded?

* Invalid symbol present:
  * You have accidentally made a typo and left a random symbol somewhere.
  * You pasted text from a website. Typically `RequestScriptAudioBank(“XXX”, false)`. Where the the website uses UTF8 `“` instead of ASCII `"`.
  * You have mismatched curly brackets. For every open bracket `{` there needs to be a closing bracket `}`. Too many of either will result in failure to load. Use a smart text editor like Notepad++ to highlight brackets or an online tool.
* Missing SETTINGS.lua or missing SIREN\_ASSIGNMENTS table in SIRENS.lua
