Request: "Propify vehicles" feature
Just looking through my asset list (for stuff to unsubscribe as I have way too many assets lol) and noticed that I have huge number of "prop vehicles" (prop versions of vehicle assets).

While this request would ideally be separate mod, I suspect it would just be a lot easier to implement in LSM.

Specifically, an option (or options - per vehicle type) to create prop versions of all vehicles during loading process.

Doing so would mean I could unsub a load of prop assets. While this wouldn't save any memory (as LSM will be reusing meshes and textures, etc.), it would drastically cut down the amount of subscriptions I need, and it would also yield me props of literally all vehicles. It might possibly even turn out a little faster (depending on how long it takes to do in-memory creation of prop from vehicle asset vs. load a vehicle prop from disk).

There are some fringe cases, for example:

* Some vehicle assets already contain a bundled prop version (maybe this could be detected and?)

* There are some strange vehicle assets that won't convert to prop easily, most notably the "Honda Stpwgn" by R69: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1572311768

Anyway, it's just random idea for your consideration. :)

@aubergine18 Yeah, it is a good idea although not a straightforward one because vehicles are more complicated (trailers, sub meshes). Wish I had the time for these features. I'm working full-time.
