Sep 27, 2011 Well it being 2013 and major strides have been made in modding for GTA 4 I figured I'd breathe new life into this thread in hopes that those with intrest and especially the skill set; will dive in feet first and see what is possible with this amazing open sourced game. Can someone help me with a list of mods I can use for playing GTA 4 I never fully played through the story mode I would really appreciate the help Shyavi author Oct 24, 2019 @ 10:40am This is a list of my favourite mods from 2015. GTAinside is the ultimate Mod Database for GTA 5, GTA 4, San Andreas, Vice City & GTA 3. We're currently providing more than 80,000 modifications for the Grand Theft Auto series. We wish much fun on this site and we hope that you enjoy the world of GTA Modding. Check Out This Mod. Back when GTA IV first came out, the Hummer H2 was notorious as a luxurious vehicle people would use to flaunt their money around. Luckily, it’ll cost you precisely zero dollars to get it as a mod for GTA IV. This model was converted from Full Drive 2 by creator Stiopa, bringing the H2’s authoritative aura to Liberty City.
After you have finished downloading the files. Open the patch installer, then install/patch it. (be sure GTA 4 and RGSC is already installed) 5. Copy the 2 files (1911.dll and LaunchGTAIV) in Crack folder, paste it inside the folder of Grand Theft Auto IV. (C:Program FilesRockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto IV). Then click REPLACE.
The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most accomplished crime simulators ever created.
My first contact with the series was when I was still a child and my irresponsible parents got me a copy of GTA: Vice City for PC. To this day I still thank them for never reading ESRB ratings.
Released back in 2001, the sixth game in Rockstar’s famous franchise was a blast.
It kept the same engine as GTA3, but presented a stylish world of conflicting cultures and criminality in the totally tubular 1980s Miami.
Modding as a whole was still in its infancy back when Vice City came out. But a lot has changed since then, and it seems like now there’s so many mods for Vice City that it’s tough to know where to look!
Luckily I’m here to weed out the good stuff for you.
But before we get down to business, I recommend installing the CLEO library first. It’s totally free and it’s a base requirement for most Vice City mods.
30. Custom Radio Station
Mods are all about changing the way the game plays. And while setting up your own custom radio station doesn’t require you to download anything other than your favorite songs, I’d say it’s worth mentioning.
It’s actually one of the game’s base features (although mods do exist too).
But you may not realize this comes with the game if nobody tells you.
To do this, you’ll need songs to be in an mp3 format.
Once you have that just drop them in the “mp3” folder in your main GTA: Vice City directory.
It’s such a simple thing to do, and yet so many games neglect to give users that freedom!
29. HD Radio Icons
Since we’re already messing with the game’s radio stations, consider installing HD Radio Icons by modder Firefly.
A lot of mods here aim to make your GTA: Vice City experience look out of this world. If you’re already going through all that trouble, it makes no sense not to address every little detail – even if it’s just the radio icons.
It’s a short and sweet mod with an easy install that will seamlessly improve your cruisin’ experience.
28. Vice City Hi-Res Loadscreen
Another small but meaningful improvement for your GTA: Vice City is this High-Resolution Loadscreen, created by modder UJibU4.
What’s the point of adding HD effects, particles, and textures when you’ll be met with ugly low-resolution artwork? We can do better.
This HD load screen uses only original artwork from Rockstar, restored from both official wallpapers and high-quality box art scans to keep an authentic Vice City aesthetic.
27. GTA: Vice City Ultimate Trainer
Something I’ll never forget about my formative years is how I’d always buy cheat code lists from my upperclassmen, then hurry home to try them out on my PC games.
Nowadays you can find that everywhere on the Internet.
But why would you waste your time entering cheat codes when you can just set every cheat to a key on your keyboard?
That’s what this Ultimate Trainer by modder LithJoe helps you do.
With it you can control the weather, replenish health and armor, grant yourself awesome weapons, and even manage your Wanted level with a simple press of a button. Nifty!
26. Vice City HD Effects
Vice City HD Effects by Nobeus does exactly what its name suggests.
It adds many new visual effects, such as realistic blood splattering, and also improves others like water, gunshot flashes, and even the traces left by burnt tire rubber.
One of my favorite features is the addition of clouds of smoke from both cars and weapons, which float up into the sky in a really organic manner.
It’s unlike anything seen in games from back in the day.
25. Windowed Mod
Nowadays most games let you start them on windowed mode.
Not only do many games just run better on lower-end PCs this way, but it gives you a bit more freedom regarding which resolution you want to play in.
This mod by ThirteenAG simply adds the feature for GTA: Vice City, which becomes really important when you consider that the base game doesn’t support widescreen aspect ratios.
Other than that, it’s also handy for streamers. And anyone who just likes jumping between programs on the fly without the hassle inherent to fullscreen games.
24. Widescreen Fix
But making the game run in windowed mode isn’t enough to solve all of your resolution issues. Especially if what you’re trying to achieve is a game that runs on a modern 16:9 ratio.
Also made by ThirteenAG (you’ll see that name pretty often in GTA modding), this easy-to-install fix will let you take the resolution up to Full HD and beyond with no problem.
It’s also available for San Andreas and a bunch of other old-timey games, so if you’re ever in a pickle with an outdated aspect ratio, you know exactly where to look.
23. Frame Limit Adjuster
The last of the fundamental adjustments you’ll need to install to get your Vice City up to modern graphical standards is the Frame Limit Adjuster, released by ThirteenAG.
This nifty tool frees your game from its default 30fps cap so it can take full advantage of your modern gaming rig and run in a fluid 60fps.
Granted, this one is a bit harder to install. You’ll need to get the previously mentioned CLEO library and set a couple of things up manually.
But there are countless tutorials on YouTube so you’ll have it up and running in no time.
22. New Vice City 2011
There’s only so much content and detail a single development team can put into a game while keeping up with release dates.
Luckily, modders have no such constraints. And their work can help make our favorite games considerably deeper.
New Vice City 2011 by modding group Modstar goes a long way towards a more realistic city life by introducing a fuel system for all vehicles.
If gas is too expensive for you, there’s also public transportation throughout the map. And you can call taxis to your location too. This is a big overhaul!
With this mod you can even call 911 to get police protection, as long as you’re not the one committing crimes.
There’s too much to cover by myself, so go on and give it a try!
21. Light Saber
GTA: Vice City features a wealth of weapons to impose your superiority over other criminals and police forces.
But can there ever be enough?
One of the most unique options in terms of melee weaponry is RC12’s Light Saber, which lets you wield an energy blade like those featured in everyone’s favorite space-fantasy epic.
With this flashy saber, you’ll feel like a low-poly version of No More Heroes’ Travis.
It really doesn’t get any cooler than this.
20. GTA: State of Liberty
The Grand Theft Auto games all take place in an alternate version of the USA. Most of them in the fictional State of Liberty, where you can find San Andreas, Vice City, and Liberty City.
This massive mod endeavors to bring together the settings from GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas into a single, gigantic, playable map. Complete with iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty.
It’s huge, seriously.
Due to the unpredictable nature of fan-projects, the mod is still in development even after 10 years!
But there are several playable builds with most completed features. Definitely worth a try!
19. GVBP ReShade
The GVBP ReShade injects Vice City with improved lighting, shadows, and other effects that give the game a much more modern look.
It was made by the GTA Vice City Beautification Project (hence the name) for use with several other graphic mods to achieve the best-looking Vice City possible.
If you’re interested in what they’re offering, swing by their website for more information and an easy-to-follow guide!
18. GTA Vice City – Definitive Edition
Generally I’d tell you to stay away from anything calling itself the “Definitive” anything.
But this mod by Qualcom does a lot to justify the self-congratulating title.
It brings together many mods covered in our ranking, such as the Widescreen Fix and Windowed Mode, along with some other tweaks to create an easy-to-install catch-all build.
It even includes the CLEO library, saving you a lot of troublesome setup in the first place.
If you’re looking for a quick update to your game so you can go back to playing in no time, this is it.
17. GTA Vice City: Updated Classic
The thing with universal fixes such as the “Definitive Edition” is that every mod creator has a different view of what’s essential and what can be left alone.
Another great build that’ll make your game feel more fluid and fix several issues is this “Updated Classic” by Philips_27, which includes functional headlights on your cars, fixes the sound of grenades, and adds better weapons and radar icons.
Other than that it also restores several features present in the console versions of GTA: Vice City, such as rotating loading screens and much more.
This comes with a lot, so yeah you’ll have to try it for yourself to see.
16. Nitrous Oxide
No, this mod won’t make Tommy Vercetti laugh uncontrollably and have mild hallucinations.
This is a 2001 game people. Have some decency!
This Nitrous Oxide is for your vehicle, and you can get it by going to the NOS Garage next to Washington Pay’n’Spray.
Once you’ve installed it on your car you’ll have access to an unlimited speed boost. Perfect for pulling off stunts or just losing the cops fast.
You can activate or deactivate the mod at your leisure by typing NEEDFORSPEED, which is appropriate considering all sound effects are from Need For Speed Underground 2.
15. Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4
And what better to try out your newly-installed NOS than with one of the coolest, fastest supercars from the last decade?
The Lamborghini Aventador is my favorite car ever. Which is why I picked it for the ranking.
That said, there is an array of custom cars you can mod into Vice City for a personalized cruisin’ experience.
You won’t find anything cooler than the Aventador, though.
14. VC Wardrobe Mod
Speaking of customizing your Vice City experience, why not add an expansive wardrobe to express yourself through stylish threads?
This mod by Rocky24pl introduces a functional wardrobe just like the one in Liberty City Stories, letting you change your looks whenever you feel compelled to.
Outfits will gradually show up as you progress through the campaign, in a way that’s so organic you might even forget this isn’t a vanilla feature.
13. First Person View
One of the most significant gameplay additions made by the super-famous GTAV is the possibility of playing in first-person, only possible in the PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions of the game.
This fantastic mod by GeniusZ introduces the feature to GTA: Vice City. Despite some bizarre details like steering wheels that don’t move and twisted arms when driving a bike.
It’s surprisingly competent, and it adds a lot to the experience.
Murdering pedestrians in cold blood has never been this immersive.
12. Mod Loader
Sometimes it can be hard to keep track of every mod you’ve ever installed. Let alone find out what’s going on if they ever start conflicting with one another (which is definitely more common than you’d think).
The binding of isaac: rebirth complete bundle download for mac. To streamline the GTA: Vice City modding experience, creator Link2012 offers us this nifty tool.
The Vice City Mod Loader will let you install and uninstall mods with a click of a button. And it removes the need to mess with your base game’s directories, making it remarkably safe.
It even lets you load certain mods while the game is already running and see the changes in mere moments. Perfect for when you go mod-hunting and want to try stuff out efficiently.
11. CLEO Parkour
After you’ve installed the CLEO library we mentioned at the beginning of the ranking, the doors open to a wide variety of complex mods. One of the best is CLEO Parkour by Ford1986.
This mod won’t turn your game into Assassin’s Creed or Mirror’s Edge.
But it will let you pull off several cool tricks like handstands, rolling in different directions, and believe it or not, sitting on benches!
It’ll also let you swim considerably faster and generally make Vice City a more dynamic experience.
10. HD Tommy
What good is improving textures, adding sophisticated visual effects, or making your game widescreen-compatible if your main character looks more blocky than Minecraft’s Steve?
Creator Goin-god helps us get a more cohesive improved visual experience with his HD Tommy Vercetti model, which gives his entire body a more detailed look.
Admittedly it’s a bit weird when you see his high-poly self among the hordes of blocky NPCs. But considering you’re always looking at Tommy’s back, you’re definitely getting more than you give.
9. Photocamera Mod
Lately I’ve gotten into the beautiful world of games with robust photo modes.
It’s just a pleasure to capture your best and worst gaming moments in pictures you can share with your peeps.
This Photocamera Mod by NRShaggy is far from Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey’s photo mode. But it’s a step in the right direction.
Plus it lets you take selfies, which is absolutely hilarious.
Once taken, pictures are stored in JPG format for later perusing or sharing online or whatever you wanna do. Way better than regular screenshots!
8. Grand Theft Auto RE: Liberty City Stories
GTA: Liberty City Stories on the PSP features a great story with lovable characters, making it a favorite among a sizable portion of the GTA fanbase.
Modder Ryadica926 is among them. And they decided to bring their favorite story to Vice City’s engine so they could play it with better graphics and on the PC.
The result is this technically-impressive “remake” of Liberty City Stories, which features Staunton Island, Portland Island, and Shoreside Vale.
It also lets you play through the entire campaign which is really massive. This mod will keep you busy for hours on end, guaranteed.
7. GTA: Long Night
One of Vice City’s most celebrated mods is the classic Long Night.
It turns the entire game into a sort of old-school zombie flick like Night of the Living Dead. Maybe not a mod for everyone, but certainly some will enjoy it.
Developed by The Fighting Hellfish, this horror-filled experience features over 20 new missions and six playable characters who’ll fight to survive the hordes of zombies running all around Vice City.
These new missions may not be the hardest you’ll ever face, but they will keep you entertained. Especially for OG fans of the game.
Alienware windows 10 drivers. Of course, it also puts 25 new unique weapons at your disposal to survive the zombie uprising.
It even adds some new radio stations that are more in line with the supernatural ambiance. Now that’s craftsmanship.

6. GTA: East Coast Stories
The US East Coast is home to a diverse population with contrasting cultures and a lot of stories to tell. Especially in GTA’s action-filled universe where anything is possible.
This massive overhaul by Swoorup brings together the bright Vice City and the dark, gritty landscape of Liberty City into a single playable map.
This serves as the setting for its own storyline, which takes place in 1993, some years after Tommy Vercetti’s criminal takeover. It feels like a whole new game(and in many ways it kind of is).
While many other mods attempt to bring together these iconic locations, this is definitely the most accomplished endeavor.
5. Grand Theft Auto: Shine o’ Vice
Taking place a year after Tommy Vercetti became the head king pin, Shine o’Vice follows a newbie mobster from Liberty City who comes to Vice City in pursuit of his brother’s killer.
It’s still in development, but Pistukas Mods’ narrative-driven overhaul promises to become one of the greatest mods ever released for GTA: Vice City.
Not only is the demo absolutely brilliant, but the developer’s work on a GTAIII mod Frosted Winter is a thing of beauty. I’d say that gives them plenty of street-cred in the modding community and it means Shine o’ Vice is likely to turn out epic.
4. Vice City ENB Series
One of GTA: Vice City’s most amazing graphical enhancements comes from the Vice City ENB series.
This fantastic mod brings several new visual effects to the Vice City engine, including reflections on metallic surfaces such as cars, and even the infamous cinematic lens flare. Plus a whole lot more that you won’t notice till you play with this turned on.
You’ll also notice some interesting tweaks when driving, and rain has never looked this good.
Considering the marginal performance cost and simple install, this is a must-have.
3. Silent Patch
Easily the most famous GTA: Vice City mod has to be the Silent Patch, which fixes a stupidly long list of bugs overlooked by Rockstar, even after so many updates.
The patch, made by prolific modder Silent, also brings back several features only available on console, giving you the most complete Vice City experience.
If you’re a fan of other open-world games like the original Far Cry, The Godfather, or even San Andreas (which has a huge list of its own mods) then be sure to check out the Silent Patches for each of those classic titles.
2. Vice Cry: Remastered
While this article is focused on mods for GTA: Vice City, I’ll have to make an exception to talk about Vice Cry: Remastered.
This is a GTAV mod at its core so you would mod this on top of GTA5. But it brings the Vice City experience directly to the newest engine.
Basically, imagine GTA5, but as Vice City.
If what you’re looking for is to experience the 80s-inspired storyline and locales of Vice City, this is the best way to do it in high def.
Not only does it feature the entire VC map, but also the classic vehicles and the whole campaign.
Now this will not be as reminiscent to anyone who played the original game back in 2001. This really does feel “different”, because it’s running on top of GTA 5.
But it’s incredibly polished, and likely the closest thing we’ll ever get to a Vice City remake.
1. Vice Cry 1.8
For those adamant about the original Vice City engine, we have to go back to where it all began.
Vice Cry 1.8 is the last release of the project that would go on to become Vice Cry: Remastered(the mod mentioned above).
Instead of bringing Vice City to a newer engine, this mod works with the original game.
It improves textures and other aspects massively to achieve a fantastic look that keeps the old-timey graphical charm without some of its most jarring elements.
It looks even better when coupled with something like the Vice City ENB Series, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to re-live Tommy Vercetti’s classic adventure.
Really if you’re going to start modding Vice City and you aren’t sure what to try, start with Vice Cry and move out from there.

Modding a Grand Theft Auto game alaways has some custom vehicles at some point. You know, to replace your boring default Kurumas, Coquettes, and Habaneros.
Despite being released over a decade ago in 2008, GTA4 is still a widely appreciated game with a massive playerbase worldwide.
The modding community hasn’t abandoned it either, so it continues to get new custom cars from time to time.
If you’re on the market for new wheels to improve your GTA IV experience, take a look at these amazing custom cars gathered from all across the web.
Gta 4 Free Mac
And before we get down to business, I recommend you get the EPM mod, as most of these custom cars simply won’t run without it.
25. BTTF Delorean
Bringing state-of-the-art cars to GTA IV when GTA5 has been out for almost a decade gives a certain time-travely feeling that I can’t shake off.
To honor this unusual situation, we’re starting the ranking with a Delorean from Back to the Future.
This one’s converted from a previous GTA: Vice City mod by creator Dragon King.
The only major drawback to installing this car is that it doesn’t actually travel through time.
Maybe there’s a GTA5 mod that does?
24. Buggy Fireball
Buggy-type vehicles have been among my favorites ever since I saw one at the beach for the first time.
There’s something about feeling the wind on your face and the hyper-practical design of these cars that get my blood pumping.
Now Claude can enjoy the same refreshing experience thanks to the Buggy Fireball mod by TheCrosswave. It features a bad-ass exposed engine and very well-done dirt mapping – a must for this off-road beast.
Just be ready to roll downhill a lot if you’re planning to leave the asphalt and explore Liberty City’s frontiers.
23. Standard Machines
This next entry is a bit weird, but I’m sure many of you will find it pretty useful.
Standard Machines isn’t really a mod. But rather a pack containing every one of the original vanilla vehicles, for those times when you forget to back up your game before modding.
Believe me, it happens more often than you think.
It also includes the original Handling.dat and Vehicles.ide files, so there’s no need to re-install the game just because you broke the vehicle system.
22. Lada 2109
Whenever you’re scouring the web for GTA mods, especially the older ones, you’re bound to run into many Russian users and modders.
In a way, we owe them respect for keeping the GTA modding scene alive.
To honor our Russian brothers and sisters, I’ve decided to include the most Russian car I could find.
The Lada brand and its cost-efficient cars are a monument to Russian practicality. They can be seen all over Eastern Europe, especially in post-soviet countries.
The Lada 2109 replaces the vanilla Blista car, so you’ll see it all over Liberty City as well.
21. Speedometer IV
You can use any trainer to give yourself a simple speedometer in GTA IV.
Still, considering how much effort we’re putting into updating our cars, there’s no reason to skip over a custom speedometer.
Creator Oinkoink offers us this nifty mod, featuring several different speedometer designs. It includes luxurious ones, minimalist ones, and a couple that are just plain weird.
Their placement is unintrusive, and after a while, you’ll feel as if it were always there.
And truth be told, there’s nothing quite like watching the needle on these things fight its way up as you go pedal to the metal in the streets of Liberty City.
Just keep an eye on the road, too.
20. Nissan Skyline R34
The Nissan Skyline R34 was one of the first cars to bring the performance “tuning” culture from Japan to the Western world.
And its appearance in games like Need for Speed, or films like 2 Fast 2 Furious: Tokyo Drift, definitely helped draw mainstream attention.
This deceptively powerful vehicle is designed to replace the Hakumai.
Its unassuming design looks perfect on the streets of Liberty City, helping you achieve an immersive upgrade of the city’s vehicles.
Among this mod’s best features are the damageable parts, and the fact that you don’t need a high-end gaming rig to handle it (unlike some of our more hardcore entries).
19. Hummer H2
Back when GTA IV first came out, the Hummer H2 was notorious as a luxurious vehicle people would use to flaunt their money around.
Luckily, it’ll cost you precisely zero dollars to get it as a mod for GTA IV.
This model was converted from Full Drive 2 by creator Stiopa, bringing the H2’s authoritative aura to Liberty City.
The helpless NPCs you’re running over will finally know why you do it: because you’re the boss.
While I’d advise keeping it yellow for authenticity’s sake, it’ll also look incredible in sober colors like black or white.
18. Audi RS5 V1 R3
One of the best cars you can get to make Liberty City traffic more interesting is this solid but not over-the-top Audi RS5.
Sure, it isn’t the best car for San Andreas’ biggest badass when there are things like supercars and armored vehicles.
But still, even NPCs need to get around!
Plus you won’t have to pilot a bad car whenever you steal a random one from the streets.
Modder Ghost outfitted this car with custom working lights, and all parts of the vehicle will get realistic damage when appropriate.
Best Gta 4 Mods
Of course, the handling is custom-made as well.
17. GTAV Heists Armored Kuruma
GTA5’s Kuruma is among my favorite vanilla vehicles of any GTA game.
And this Armored version is just too cool to be true.
But don’t be fooled by its good looks. This modded armored machine is 100% functional and will protect you from anything that doesn’t find its way through the peepholes you’re supposed to see through.
It looks terrific in the default sober gray/black color.
Still, this mod provides a high degree of customization – from colors to the type of spoiler on the trunk.
16. The Essential Car Pack
Most of the best San Andreas car mods feature hi-poly models that most low-end PCs won’t handle, despite the game’s relatively basic engine.
A great option if you’re playing on a humbler computer is the Essential Car Pack by creator Jotov24.
The vehicles in this mod were hand-picked by Jotov24 to provide the highest quality possible, without sacrificing performance.
They may not have 100,000 polygons, but they still look incredible.
The variety is nothing to scoff at, either.
If you liked this and you think the ol’ rig can still take some more, then consider The Extended and The Evolved car packs, the slightly more resource-demanding sequels to this mod.
15. Liberty F1 2010
Formula 1 has been one of the most exciting sports to watch for decades.
Now you can take part in it without leaving the comfort of Liberty City.
This Liberty F1 2010 mod by BryanLex brings 24 different cars from the 2010 season to your game, all with distinct handling, acceleration, and max speed.
All the models are intricately detailed, feature working lights, and closely resemble their real-life counterparts.
14. 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Synergy Edition
I’ve always liked the Camaro because it manages to look fresh and powerful, while remaining appropriate for urban use.
I mean, why would you drive a Bugatti Veyron through NYC?
Modders Alex189 and KaLaC bring us this bright green Synergy Edition Camaro, which merges the modern Camaro look we’ve come to love, with a first-generation Camaro design.
You could easily recolor this beast, but the real Camaro Synergy Edition is precisely this shade of green.
So I’d suggest leaving it like that for authenticity’s sake.
13. NYC Mega Car Pack
If you want high-quality vehicles that look natural in an urban setting like Liberty City, you need to try the NYC Mega Car Pack.
This massive compilation of HQ vehicles is meant to make Liberty City look like 2010’s NYC.
It replaces most vanilla cars with what you’d have seen on the streets back then.
There are Golf Cars for leisurely days, Harley Davidson Fatboy bikes for the bad boys, and there’s even a Mazda 3 so you can re-live the days of stealing your mother’s car.
Among my favorite additions have to be the new law enforcement cars, including a Ford Crown Victoria for the FBI.
12. BMW M8 Competition
The BMW M8 Competition was designed as a sturdy and powerful car that provides the smoothest possible driving experience, even at breakneck speeds.
This elegant and aerodynamic model was ripped from CSR2 and converted to San Andreas by Milcin7, who went as far as to give it working lights and custom handling.
The perfectly-placed blue highlights on a pearl-white body do wonders to give this car an almost ethereal look.
But you can also change them to whatever you want.
11. Pagani Zonda R
We all know what a supercar is.
But most people can barely tell their Lamborghinis from their Ferraris, and they probably think they’re the only supercar manufacturers worth their salt.
Nothing further from the truth, as we see in this astonishingly attractive machine from the Modenese atelier Pagani.
The Pagani Zonda R is a luxurious supercar with a unique design that favors natural-looking curves over straight lines.
This is partly due to aesthetics, and partly for aerodynamic reasons.
The result is a stylish car unlike any other cruisn’ the streets of Liberty City. And thanks to modder NatT96Report, you can try it out yourself.
10. Ultimate HD Car Pack 2012
The following car pack was made by one of those Russian users who are just as serious about cars as they are about their favorite games like GTA4.
It features almost 200 HQ vehicles that’ll make the traffic in Liberty City look almost out-of-place without a slight graphical improvement for the surrounding urban sprawl.
All of them feature custom handling and working lights, along with damageable parts.
It’s one of the best options if your objective is to have the best-looking hyper-modded GTA IV playthrough.
9. Lamborghini Aventador TRON Edition
It’s often the case that, like putting 2 + 2 together, two really cool things can combine to reach a new level of awesomeness.
That’s the case with ExtremeModder191’s Lamborghini Aventador TRON Edition mod, which features enticing neon highlights over a dark body of this Italian mid-engine supercar.
TRON-themed Lambos and other supercars are nothing out of the ordinary. A quick google search will show a lot.
Still, few are as accomplished as this digital devil – and none are quite as easy to get.
8. Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo was a special race-oriented edition with an even more aerodynamic model, improved brake cooling, and ten positions for the rear wing.
This model for GTA IV doesn’t actually feature a ten-position rear wing.
But it looks just as breathtaking as its real counterpart.
It features all the details a custom car needs – including custom handling, realistic damage, working doors, and functional lights.
This model was copied from Need for Speed: Rivals by creator Big Bear, and just like in that game, it will look amazing in almost any color.
7. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 SS
You can’t make a “best cars” list of any kind without mentioning the Bugatti Veyron.
There are hundreds of mods online offering to add this top-tier supercar of the 2010s to the streets of Liberty City.
Still, few offer the level of detail and polygon count as this model from Forza Motorsport 4 – ported to GTA IV by modder Alex189.
The default design with a black carbon fiber body and red highlights is especially representative of the 16.4 Super Sport, but you can recolor as needed to fit your tastes.
6. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Body Kit Final Stock
If you’re anything like me, you grew up playing the hell out of Need for Speed.
For most people, that creates a bit of an obsession with aftermarket parts and car tuning – which is why I’m including this Body Kit Final Stock version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, an incredible mod with a lot of detail.
Other than the modified skirts and front bumper, this model has a unique coloring scheme that’ll let you experiment much more than our previous entry.
A white body with red highlights is ideal for the flamboyant gangster.
The original model was ported from NFS: Shift 2 to GTA IV by modder Imtaj, who also gave the vehicle custom handling, realistic damage, and fully working lights/doors.
5. Realistic Driving and Flying
Here’s something you’ll want to get even if none of our custom car mods have convinced you: Killatomate’s Realistic Driving and Flying mod for GTA IV.
Killatomate went one-by-one through all of the 170 default vehicles in the game, and tweaked their handling for a much more realistic and just plain fun experience.
There’s no reason to play without this mod – ever.
4. Realistic Car Pack V4
If what you’re looking for is lifelike adherence to reality, then the Realistic Car Pack by Ogiogi93 will give you a hand in the motor department.
It replaces 95 vanilla cars and adds an entirely new 23 vehicles, replacing the generic Rockstar-brand automobiles with ones bearing their real insignias.
There’s even a FedEx truck in there, along with the most realistic-looking ambulances I’ve seen so far.
3. Lamborghini Aventador 50th Anniversary
If you haven’t realized yet, I love Lamborghini supercars. And the Aventador is easily among my favorites thanks to its delicate-looking design.
This convertible 50th Anniversary edition is the one I’d like to drive around town myself, if I could. Feeling the wind on my face and enjoying the passerby population’s envious looks… I guess GTA4 is just as good, yeah?
This Aventador is set to replace the Infernus.
And as most of our entries, this mod features working lights, doors, and everything you’d expect from a high-end custom vehicle.
2. Ultimate Vehicle Pack v11
As I’ve written before, I value packs that save modding time and let us get back to gaming.
In the case of cars for GTA IV, I can’t find a better recommendation than the eleventh edition of Taltigolt’s Ultimate Vehicle Pack.
While you take care of installing supercars yourself, this will replace regular cars in Liberty City with the highest-quality custom equivalent available.
This helps give the city a splash of realism, since not everyone in LC can afford a Bugatti or a Lambo.
If all that doesn’t convince you, then try this out just for the fully-functional military jet.
1. Lamborghini Huracán Liberty Walk
Liberty Walk is one of the most recognizable and respected names in the commercial car tuning industry. And their involvement is about the only way to improve the absolute masterpiece that is the Lamborghini Huracán.
Its name means “hurricane” in Spanish, and that’s exactly what it’d feel like to have the Gallardo’s successor drive by you at high speeds.
Thanks to Team Extreme, who ported this from CSR2, you can choose to be the one doing the driving – at least within Liberty City.
