Thanks man. I was always bothered by the significance of liberty city with the NYC so finally modded it and now its closer to real NYC. IcEnhancer 2.1 has changed the whole look of the game. Days and nights look like the way they should. Will mod that Getalife building into a real MetLife building tonight. Also the LCPD to NYPD and taxis to NYC cabs. Also looking for a trainer to increase the longevity of days and nights.

Will take some Night time screenshots of times square i am sure it will look even more beautiful at night :)

If anyone interested in modding his/her GTA 4 then I would suggest this.

Firstly, all the available mods work best with patch 1.0.4.0 or earlier ones and I did not see any drastic improvement with patch 1.0.7.0. In fact on my system there was no improvement at all. But for multiplayer you do need the latest patch. Here are my suggestions-
1) IcEnhancer 2.1 Final- Tweak it a little as per your monitor settings. Trust me it makes your GTA 4 photoreal if you keep all the ingame settings at max, antialiasing quality in iceconfig.ini set to '1' or better(if your system can handle it).
2)Lord Neophyte's HD Textures
3)VIVA New York Mod
4) Real Traffic Mod
5)Real NYC Billboards Project
6)All texture mods from ZBNYNC

All of this and your GTA 4 will be as good as it can get i.e. almost photoreal. Never thought mods could do this to a 2008 game. It looks better than crysis 2.

@theserpent Try Realizmiv 6.2 textures.They are very FPS friendly. Not HD but still better than the original and you can use them with the latest patch as well. When you install the game first update it to patch 1.0.4.0 and install these textures. After you have copied all the textures you can update to latest patch. I am not sure whether they will work with Multiplayer or not. Also from what I have read GTA IV is more CPU dependent. An average GPU will do if you are not using Mods and just using original normal game but an average CPU with lower clocks won't do. Try reducing traffic, view distance and detail distance(or something like that). It needs massive CPU power for its AI. Sadly its a ported version of XBOX 360 so has not been coded and optimized for PC that well just like L.A. Noire.

Also can you please mention your whole system configuration?

If you have steam version steam will autoupdate it. If you have DVD version GFWL will autoupdate it or else it won't let you go online. If none of the above works then download it from here *updates.rockstargames.com/patches/gtaiv/title_update_7_EN.zip

Like i explained earlier..
1) Install the game
2)Install patch 1.0.4.0
3) When GFWL asks you to update, decline it.
4) exit the game install RealizmIV 6.2 textures.
5) Now you can update the game and it will run fine. I have done it myself. When i installed it over the patch 1.0.7.0 the game just dint start. But when i installed it with patch 1.0.4.0 and then updated to latest patch everything ran fine.


Like i said GTA 4 will run fine on an average GPU if you are not using graphically intensive mods. But it needs loads of CPU power. Sadly its a xbox 360 ported game and hasn't been optimized properly for PC. Crappy coding you can say as far as pc version is concerned. try reducing view distance, traffic amount, and something called detail distance i don't remember the exact name.

Also give Cachebooster a try.

P.S. If you have already installed patch 1.0.7.0 then you cant revert back to 1.0.4.0 on DVD version. Only way to do it is to reinstall the game.

Here is one more screenshot.

Adding HD textures for real NYC shops which will replace most of the rockstar's shops. if my system can take it, will surely post screenshots here or in screenshot channel.

EDIT: Done, here are few screenshots.

Click to expand...

one of Vlad's mission is needed to be done before you can enter taxi as passenger. Just hold the key which you use to enter vehicle.

^^ Google for Real Shops Mod beta, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.5.1, 1.6. Install them in ascending order. I couldn't find 1.2 and 1.3. Install VIVA New york Mod first. Don't install taxi mods given in VIVA New york mod or else you will get the "taxi everywhere bug". After installing viva you are good to go with this Real Shops Mod.

@Alok Hmm..din't know that thanks for the info.
