Grand Theft Auto 4 Character Overhaul

[Supreme Dear Leader]

My last post got locked because I made a pretty big mistake when making the topic. But I do want to be able to interact with you about the mod on this thread so I'm creating a new topic for it. 

 

13 years have passed since GTA IV has come out and there still isn't any good mods for improving character textures. Until now that is... 

 

I have begun work on a massive project to overhaul all the characters in game, upscaling their textures, adding finer details, and even improving the meshes of same of the characters.

This includes but isn't limited to: color correction, new normal details, fixed normal maps, fixed specular details and highlights, increased visual quality, and even new meshes and texture variations to add even more variety to the peds. Parts of Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes From Liberty City: Characters Fixes will be used as it already fixes the continuity issues between the game and the dlcs. 

 

These characters have been heavily tested and will work on all versions of GTA4, with any ENB or graphics settings. This mod will greatly increase the visual fidelity of the characters making them look much better. I do recommend using an enb such as iCEnhancer 3.0 with my mod to truly appreciate all the details on the characters. However, vanilla will still work just fine. No matter what graphics you use, you will certainly see a significant improvement. 

 

There is no need to worry about performance or any major bugs. All the new textures have been optimized to use as little space while still looking much better. I have experience no loss in framerate while using my mod, and my mod hasn't caused any bugs from my experience. 

 

To show you some examples of how the mod looks in game, I've made a few videos on my channel to showcase them. 

 

This first video gives you an idea of what the characters look like. 

 

This second video gives you a way to compare the old textures with the new ones. Keep in mind that its still WIP, and these videos were taken a few months ago. Further improvements have been made on many of the textures you see. And there's still many more improvements planned for some of the cutscene characters. Consider subscribing to the channel for more video updates. I plan to do more videos like these in the future when I have some more new stuff to show. 

 

I know that a lot of you are probably most excited to see how Niko looks with the remastered textures and I can say that he has undergone a significant improvement.
