3. Main Mods

4. Optional Mods

Use Mod Loader to install the mods unless stated otherwise!

Install the mods one by one and test the game each time to make sure it works!

Pre installed game folder:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KhL5mzycMrbVe5iGjYoRahLN4fi08Uaf/view?usp=sharing

This zip contains all main mods except realistic footprints because I just don't know how to get it to work. I have chosen to exclude optional mods so you can pick and choose which ones you want to install which shouldn't take too long.

To install copy everything inside the folder to your game directory.

ps: I accidentally left my mp3 files in the mp3 folder

also I recommend downloading stories animations

Is there a way to make the traffic spawn more? It feels pretty empty on the roads

I dont know nothing about that. I just followed the list.

Anyone has tested this with RcVC

RcVC has new symbols, it wont work.

Hey, can someone help me? I've been playing for a little while and got nearly to the end of the game, the mission "Cap The Collector" specifically. But right after the cutscene of that mission ends, my game crashes with the error message:

unhandled exception c00005
at address 004dff3c

Hey bro, appreciate you for this!
Any chance you've done a similar premodded build for San Andreas and GTA IV?

for GTA IV I just use my icenhancer 4 copy but for san andreas the mod lists take forever to complete but I downloaded a mod folder from someone on this site and whilst it didnt work at first I made it work and ive so far gotten to las venturas with this modded copy. Its 21gb so give me until tomorrow to upload and I can have that for you.

I got that sa folder for u. it works for me. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HgCvFxj0v1jGwjZiIbliEweRWA2s--Od?usp=drive_link

I got that sa folder for u. it works for me. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HgCvFxj0v1jGwjZiIbliEweRWA2s--Od?usp=drive_link

Thanks for this, but I am having trouble downloading this thing. GD supposedly tries to zip up this directory and then provides a 633,6MB download (?) which then gets stuck on 3,2MB downloaded. Finally the download just fails.

Would it be possible for you to first compress this directory with something serious (such as 7zip/LZMA) and then upload?

For anyone that wants the pre-installed of all GTAs
GTA SA, 3 and VC
Everything was taken from these links and FIXED because Gesha doesn't test his mods apparently. 3 has been fixed and so was VC.
Also tweaked everything that didn't really fit in or was just bad to begin with.

I have an issue in Vice City where there's a pixelated "heat haze" blur around the car after driving for some time with sharptrails removed. I love the PS2 motion blur effect so that's why I deleted the sharptrail.asi inside scripts. Do you have any what causes this issue and how to fix it? Really appreciate the download links by the way.

I thank you for this because I just recently played the game and been finding mods that can improve the game, one problem for me though for Vice City is that the audio of the is sometimes choppy, not that major but its really been bugging me. Really appreciated if this gets fixed.

Just heard about the Netflix Definitive Edition.
How do these mods hold up to it?
Unfortunately it's only playable on tablet, so it can't be modded.

Hey guys, is it possible to fix whatever this is?
