>he hasn't modded GTA IV beyond recognition with realism mods
Seriously I just got into this shit 2 days ago and I'm having a fucking blast. Basically I have turned the game from a boring and ridiculously easy steaming pile of shit into a modern Mafia 1 with a modern setting except it's quite a bit more unforgiving than Mafia 1 gameplay-wise. My heart rate is jacked and my palms are actually sweating during missions because the realistic weapon damage mods I installed only let me take a few hits before I die which leaves very little room for mistakes. I can put an assault rifle round through the torso of a police officer and he dies instantly. It only takes 2 well aimed body shots to incapacitate someone with the 9mm pistol if they're not wearing body armor. I've got realistic arsenal mods that only let me carry 2 firearms. A heavy one and a smaller sidearm. If I carry any firearm that can't be easily concealed (only handguns are easily concealable) they will be stored in a duffel bag that automatically appears on Niko. If it's a lighter firearm like an MP5 it will be stored in a backpack. Heavier weapons make Niko run a bit slower so there is now a reason to use lighter firearms. I also need to store large amounts of cash in the bank or the same duffel bag will appear and the weight of the money will slow me down. If I die with cash on me I will lose it. I've got a mod that makes the cops pissed off if they see me break traffic rules or brandish a weapon and they will try to get my ID. If I refuse to stop I will get a 1 star wanted level. If I lose a large wanted level there is a chance a cop will identify me if he sees me doing suspicious shit like climbing and sprinting or having a banged up car. If this happens I will regain the same wanted level that I previously lost. This effect goes away after a while. The duration of this effect depends on the wanted level I just lost.
tl;dr this shit is fucking DOPE. If you liked Mafia 1 you're gonna love this shit.
You can get to the Majestic rooftop either with a regular trainer with teleportation scripts or by landing a chopper up there.

Here's the list of all the script mods that I'm running. They run great together. I haven't had any problems with them.
"ArrestWarrant" for the stuff I mentioned about the cops and wanted levels. "BankAccount" for the money related stuff. "WeaponWeight" for the duffel bag stuff. "WeaponStorage" for storing weapons in your safehouse for later. "Pickups" for the reworked inventory system. "DeadlyWrecks" for making car crashes fatal so that you can't just drive like an asshole all of the time. "RealReload" This script stops you from constantly reloading your weapons because any ammunition in the discarded magazine will be lost. Your weapons won't automatically reload when you cycle through weapons like they used to. Makes the shootouts a lot more fun.
These are all by the same guy called AngryAmoeba. I think you can find them all on gtagaming but they are also hosted on other sites. I've got more realism mods installed but they don't have as much impact on gameplay as these so I won't go into them. youtube.com/watch?v=BoZ5S5Uowio This is the damage mod I'm using. You can easily tweak it to your liking with notepad. I actually changed the max ammo carrying capacity to make it more realistic. I basically thought about how many magazines you would realistically carry in a duffel bag among with a bunch of other shit before it gets impractical. You try returning fire after you've had 2 9mm rounds slice up your inner organs. Unfortunately not. Just hang up on the fuckers. They don't give you any real benefits anyway. There are mods for that. I don't have them installed though. Other ENBs for patch 8 can look just as good. The reason everything looks good in that video is the modded high res cars and the road textures.

You're either a crackhead or fucking retarded if you don't think being shot two times even with a 9mm is gonna down somebody.

Evan Collins
Good shit user, perfect timing with this. I was literally starting my download right as I saw this thread. Thanks
Logan Gray
Even with mods it still has horrible pop-in and shitty handling. They also don't make the missions any better.
Brandon Rogers
Lol I knew people were going to accuse me of shilling but if you try this shit out you'll realize that his mods are fucking solid and there aren't really any alternatives to them AFAIK.
Asher Collins
>tfw no amount of mods would add friends that've reached a certain threshold calling you to tag along on a mission they think was a bad idea The thing with Jacob was great but it didnt happen again
Aaron Wood
>t. AngryAmoeba
Yes, some random modder is going to come along and shill his shit 6 years after making it for literally no reason whatsoever.

David Roberts
youtube.com/watch?v=TKBgfN6be8Q This is the car handling mod that I'm using. This crazy bastard has modified every car in the game to handle just like it's real life counterpart or at least as close as possible.

How much redoing missions have you been doing from taking a stray shot frm somebody you didn't see, or taking stray shot when you're outrunning the cops or something? That's the only place I could see this getting frustrating.
Sebastian Thomas
That sounds extremely awesome. I always play GTA 4 in a more realistic way (I always use only my pistol or a shotgun) and have perfected the shooting that much that I can clear levels without getting hit once, I probably download it, thank you for the recommendation.
Dylan Phillips
Sounds boring. But if you enjoy it ,then more power to you.
I still enjoy the vanilla experience.
Alexander Reed
Post screens or GTFO
Leo Rodriguez
You're a fucking moron, do you know that?
Jacob Morris
Oh wait they're not graphics mod sorry nevermind
Matthew Reed
You should upload some gameplay on youtube. I'd like to see it all in action before I attempt this.
Lincoln Stewart
I only played GTA4 on console.
But, modding it does sound pretty juicy.
Is there a good car shop mod? For like, nitrous, and paint jobs, and tire/wheel changes?
I'd love to see what could be done to those Sultan's.
Ryan Wood
Probably not that would require a shitload of work to implement
Carson Roberts
nice pasta

About 4 times and I'm about a quarter through the story now. If you're careful as fuck and use cover to your full advantage you can survive massive firefights and walk off with some pretty damaged body armor but full health. You need to be defensive when dealing with the cops. Never stay in one place and don't let them flank you. You've got a massive intelligence advantage over them so use it. You will still massacre cops like crazy except you're mostly firing at them with single shots instead of full auto. It looks cool as hell when they drop after 1 shot to the body with the assault rifles. Stay the fuck away from police roadblocks. Try to get as much cover from the air as possible because police helicopters are now a real threat to you especially if you're not carrying an assault rifle. You really have to plan ahead when moving on foot during a police chase. You should try getting into a 6 star police chase on foot in the Manhattan inspired part of the city. It's a VERY unique gaming experience. The only thing I hate about weapon damage mods is the fact that cars start burning really quickly when they get hit. I need to check if there are any mods that make bullets kill the engine instead of setting the piece of shit on fire. If it's too difficult there are mods that let you adjust Niko's max health and body armor. I think it's 4 times the amount of pedestrians by default. 4 times is hard enough with the damage mods installed.
I've been roleplaying as a Serbian terrorist getting revenge on burgers for the bombings for a couple of times now and I'm still having fun.

Christian Smith
I can confirm that realistic weapon damage mod greatly improve the base game. It was the first thing I put into it and now I just can't play the original.
Too bad there's nothing to do with money and little to none character customisation.
Brody Adams
I would but it runs like shit with too many mods.
Nathaniel Russell
Played with basically the same mods you have in 2015, really the best gta if you mod it this way in my opinion, the realistic vibes in story also hepls with this. How is the modding situation right now? Can you install 1.0.4.0 mods on the newest version?
Juan Gutierrez
>no reddit spacing
stopped reading there
Robert Brown
I've got a i5-4670k and a gtx770 and it's runs really well with max settings and CryENB V3 installed. My game version is 1.0.7.0 which has the worst performance out of them all. Not really sure. AFAIK most compatibility issues are ENB related. How dare I make my OP look more attractive to the eye so that it gets as many reads as possible? I only separated the greentext and the tl;dr anyway. It would have looked like shit if I kept it all in one block of text.
Logan Morgan
>not having Realistic Driving and Flying y though, it makes the game 2x better. You drive half the time in the game and default handling is really fucking bad. Since you're going for realism, installing the realistic deformation one is a must, two bad crashes and your car is fucked. The best thing is that it also doesn't break the game, you can still complete the story without any issues, i did atleast. youtube.com/watch?v=mYs2zTGqRPA
Benjamin Moore
How many shots does it take to take down your armor?
Bentley Wright
I do have it. I should have mentioned it in the OP. It makes the driving so much better. I love how easily the cars get deformed but I would like the engines to be more sensitive. Right now I can keep driving even though the front of the car looks like a metal cauliflower. I would say about 3 with the assault rifle. Most deaths are from letting the AI get close enough to unload a whole magazine on full auto. They can't shoot for shit for the most part so it's all good. Most deaths are from not being aware of your surroundings and letting the enemy flank you. I recommend playing with headphones.
Xavier Evans
None of you in this thread probably have a blind shooting fix that adds weapon spread when shooting blind from cover, there is huge spread if you play with gamepad but when you're on k/m your shots are laser accurate.
Chase Russell
whats the best graphics mods? how good can you get it to look and smoothly run?
Liam Ward
>realism mods
But I like having fun
Gavin Bell
Is it the one where you just put 1 asi file into the GTA4 directory? I have it. I think the best graphics mods are the ones that you yourself configure to suit your preferences. I like modding but I'm simply not enthusiastic enough to get into doing that stuff.
Luke Perez
Why not just running it 144fps instead of 30 with dips for 5% visual quality gain?
here is the comparison, the mod looks like shit anyway
Gavin Thompson
Fun is subjective, user. Realism may not be fun for you, but other anons like them.
Thomas Cooper
>GTA without realism mods >fun
Christopher Morgan
any mods that fix the traffic spawn patterns? i always see cars spawn in clusters instead of dispersed naturally. its awful on highways to see clusters clearly loading in between gaps of nothing. it even happens with density at 100 for me. i havent even mentioned how the same cars spawn way too frequently. if i find 1 infurnus i can find 10 parked around the next corner
Dominic Flores
>>reddit
Oliver Smith
>i havent even mentioned how the same cars spawn way too frequently also there's a taxi bug where the traffic becomes nothing but taxis if you install one too many car mods. Post what graphics mods you are using OP
Chase Myers
I don't remember, maybe. I can't find console/pc comparison but here's the one with the fix i think: youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ6mfN-8s8
Angel Ortiz
>can't drive like an asshole in Liberty City what's the point?
Ryan Parker
Did that 5years ago had fps mod ice enhancer texture mods it was mazing
Ian Foster
Because it's not always 5% gain. That said, anyone knows anything new on vosswar's enb? He haven't announced anything new for like a few months now. youtube.com/watch?v=4uN71W_Ke9M
Hunter Bailey
>GTA can't be fun without realism you obviously haven't played VC or SA
Adam Jones
>VC >SA >Realistic
Mason Rodriguez
Yeah he said on twitter that he finished a couple of weathers but still has a bunch more left. Overhauling every weather in the game takes time I guess.
Brayden Perez
Anyone tried LCPDFR? I installed a bunch of mods and it became super clunky
Asher Williams
>you >reading comprehension
Carson James
>You're either a crackhead or fucking retarded if you don't think being shot two times even with a 9mm is gonna down somebody.
What is the best patch performance wise? 1.0.4.0 or patch 8?
Jayden Rogers
1.0.4.0. It has worse looking shadows than the newer patches though.
Nicholas Green
>1986 FBI Miami shootout that name alone sounds cool as fuck
Julian Martin
>a very rare and exceptional examples of a police officer with a body armor and a retired USMC veteran high on adrenaline taken out of thousands similar cases. Wow, you sure showed him pal.
Eli Flores
Kek'd
Joseph Turner
Can you even run all the realism mods at 60fps without owning a render farm level of ram on a 1080? Remember that one taxi drift that was a silky 20.
Zachary Barnes
They aren't changing anything graphically, i have no idea why you think it would lower your frames anyway.
Cameron Cooper
How about you shoot yourself with a 9mm?
Robert Mitchell
Do you happen to know a torrent for gta4 1.0.4.0?
Joshua Nelson
I searched for one myself and couldn't find one. I heard that there are downgraders out there. Maybe you can try your luck with those.
Cameron Reed
anyone got a link to the pickups mod? I'm pretty sure the archiving of gtagaming.com has it lost.
Matthew Garcia
>not just installing the carmageddon mod
Justin Green
Search for Grand Theft Auto IV-Razor1911
Alexander Johnson
I laughed posting what I did because I knew you'd come back with some super hyperbolic rare exception examples as a retort.
Luis Sullivan
Also can we use this thread to talk about gta v mods too? Are there any must have mods for V? I want to play them back to back.
Jacob Wilson
Realistic damage mods only work well if there is another mod that drastically reduces the accuracy of enemy AI. They should not hit you if you are a football field away running in a zig zag line. Accuracy should also be determined by the characters. ie. cops more accurate than thugs, SWAT more accurate than cops, etc.
Gavin Adams
I wouldn't doubt there is a mod like that, I'm looking for it but no luck.
gtagaming.com/pickups2-0-f23960.html Here you go. Sorry, I fucked up earlier when I wrote that mod list. Didn't notice that this mod isn't made by AngryAmoeba.
Connor Collins
ay man, thanks for giving a loner like me something to do on a Friday
