Table of Contents & Introduction

  1. Requirements

  2. Mod Loader

  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!

Never run the game with more than 60 FPS as physics, animations and even missions start to break!

Improvising this mods list should be done ONLY if you know what you are doing and AT YOUR OWN RISK!

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.

GTA SA: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ljcgttkj7eogh4ghr39ls/GTA-SA-Enhanced.zip?rlkey=txdqlosd1zdsg3ktj40erdnp7&dl=0 GTA 3 and VC : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gmj3yxPWqkmnxFtRZFOIGXt1lCWoLvJD/view?usp=sharing

@Lethality5001

Thank you for providing this.
GTA III launches and I havent encountered any issues yet.

GTA Vice City does not launch.
The Dropbox link for SA is temporarily disabled.
