This pack contains higher resolution textures from Max Payne 3, Grand Theft Auto V and original sources for ALL vehicles ported back to Grand Theft Auto IV, including clean up, colour correction and minor fixes/adjustments. Also included in the anniversary edition is the new license plate system which covers ALL in-game vehicles and also features special plates for things such as Police, Taxi's, Motorcycles, etc. Nearly all assets have been touched up and improved in some way, included graffiti, grunge, dirt, etc, to give ALL vehicles in the game an overall improved look that's faithful and accurate. This pack is designed to be the go to mod for new and returning players to this game.

This pack has been in the works for multiple years ever since I first started by just doing an improved vehshare file in 2020.

The ZIP file contains all the vehicles WTD texture files, simply use a program like OpenIV to open and edit the vehicles.img file and just drag and drop the new textures into the archive.

Make sure to grab all three ZIP files as I've split each episode up into its own ZIP (IV/TLAD [E1]/TBOGT [E2]).

For Grand Theft Auto IV, you can find vehicle.img inside:
GTAIV\pc\models\cdimages

For The Lost and Damned, you can find vehicle.img inside:
GTAIV\TLAD\pc\models\cdimages

For The Ballad of Gay Tony, you can find vehicle.img inside:
GTAIV\TBoGT\pc\models\cdimages


If you're playing Episodes from Liberty City then the following folders are used instead...
For the base vehicles you can find vehicle.img inside:
EFLC\pc\models\cdimages

For The Lost and Damned, you can find vehicle.img inside:
EFLC\TLAD\pc\models\cdimages

For The Ballad of Gay Tony, you can find vehicle.img inside:
EFLC\TBoGT\pc\models\cdimages

UPDATE
If you're using the latest version of Fusion Fix (V1.52 or better) then you can simply download the "Complete Edition" Pack instead and just extract the contents of the update folder inside the zip to:
GTAIV\update
And the mod will be automatically installed and ready to use.

NOTE
Make sure you increase the value of the vehicle budget for this mod using your preferred method, for example if you have Fusion Fix, then locate the Fusion Fix INI and find the BudgetedIV value and change the values to the following:
[BudgetedIV]
VehicleBudget = 144000000
And then save the file. Increase this value if you have more vehicle mods installed. This will help prevent the "taxi bug" in your game.

SPECIAL THANKS
To Magic_Al for contributing to the 2.1 update with various textures that have a clear improvement over the previous versions.
