GTA.cz - All about Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA 4) Hello fans, we have been looking for volunteers! If you want to help us with proofreading of our translations (articles, updates and other texts), we will be glad to invite you into our team.

We’ve been playing this game for way too long. And with the next installment of GTA we can only wait anxiously by installing a metric ton of mods to our all so dear GTA V.

Welcome to the 1980s. From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. Vice City is a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, and is the most varied, complete and alive digital city ever created. The GTA Place brings you the latest Grand Theft Auto news, information, screenshots, downloads, forums and more. For GTA V, GTA IV, Chinatown Wars, San Andreas, Vice City, GTA3, Vice City Stories, Liberty City Stories, GTA Advance, and all the classics.

Now I have written about GTA V mods in the past and I’ve even done a compilation of the best GTA mods too. But I haven’t discussed map mods, some of the coolest edits to the game.

Given how many of these bad boys you’ll find out there, I figured I’d create a guide for you to use and spice your game up with new custom maps and changes to our beloved city of Los Santos.

Without any further ado, here are my thoughts on the best map mods that you can install on your game.

15. Underwater Mafia Headquarters

Jesus F. Christ, this mod is massive.

I’m still flabbergasted after installing it. Beware though – you’re going to need a POWERFUL computer to run it. I’m using my new laptop and the FPS dropped like flies.

This mod adds headquarters located underwater (so it basically creates a new underwater base for the mafia, yay) with a coverup yacht party on top of it.

The headquarters come equipped with as many things as any mobster would wish to have. Anything ranging from an underwater helipad to an underwater airport are there to be found.

The building itself is quite beautiful and I completely adore it. Kudos to the creator, this definitely took him a few sleepless nights to complete.

I’m truly amazed by this. Give it a try; you won’t regret it.

14. Road Work Mod

Oh sure, roads in Los Angeles are as faulty as they get. But there are but a few damaged roads in Los Santos.

That’s not immersive at all.

The Road Work Mod does a fantastic job to combat this, though, as it adds a bunch of roads that need repairing and workers repairing them as well.

This is one of those mods that make the game much more immersive. And I have to say that trying it out with the graphical mods that I used to write my other article (check it out, your game will look really cool) was one of the best decisions that I’ve made.

A simple change, but a welcoming one that is sure to make your game feel as good as it gets.

13. Huge Villa 2

This is the second part of the Huge Villa mod(made by the same creator) but using a different house model.

The free mod adds a massive house into the game with a helipad on an ocean island. So you can have your private house to yourself without having to expect any uninvited guests to visit you (unless you have annoying friends with helicopters).

The mod creator claims that it took him 8 days to create from scratch. But I have to say that if that’s true, it seems like a good return for his time investment.

The house is massively detailed and fantastically well done.

12. 2 Many Years

Too many years have passed, and now Los Santos is overgrown with vegetation and in a state of decay like you’ve never seen it before.

This mod is better played without any pedestrians, civilians, missions, quests, or anything else.

Just explore the desolated land of Los Santos many years after a catastrophic event that made the city become unhabitable. Or whichever catastrophe you like to imagine that it happened here.

Actually this mod’s creator recommends you to give it a try with the zombie mod.

I may or may not have done it. Spoilers – it’s fantastic. It’s like The Walking Dead on steroids and without two seasons of crap.

11. GTA V: San Andreas

Now this mod changes the map of Los Santos into San Andreas, making you rejoice those fantastic days that you spend hunting those damn aliens on the lands of GTA SA.

Quite a cool mod, although not as well done as it could’ve been(in my opinion).

I’m adding it to the 11th spot and not further up because it does leave a lot to be desired. But you’ll find yourself entertained for at least a couple of hours if you give it a try.

I recommend it for a laugh, but be sure to save your game before installing it to avoid any possible issues.

10. Huge Villa

This mod was made by the same dude that created the last one, but this isn’t on an island.

You’ll find this villa by a lake. And you’ll be able to access all of its features with any of the main characters of the game.

It’s close to Trevor’s trailer, though, so you can move the crazy old bastard out of his crappy house to this amazing villa.

Quite a jump in class, I must say.

In any case this mod is one of the best house mods that I’ve seen when it comes to map updates. And it makes the map look much cooler as well.

9. Menyoo Map Pack

Beach apartments, boxing matches, alien abductions, and much more.

This modder lost his sanity creating plenty of mods on the Menyoo PC trainer, and this is the result of all of his hard work.

The man has provided us with plenty of fantastic maps that we can enjoy on GTA V and you can get them all with the click of a single button since this is a compilation of all of them!

Enjoy house parties, celebrity deathmatches, and much more thanks to this fantastic map-pack.

8. Galileo Michael Mansion

Michael should be living a much fancier life.

I suppose the creator of the mod feels exactly the same. That’s why the Galileo Michael Mansion takes such a high spot on my list.

It completely overhauls the way Michael lives, as you’ll find his family as well as Trevor and Franklin over there paying him a visit.

It’s a very cool mod where Michael can go and chill on his days of peace, or after going on a killing spree of course.

7. Forests of San Andreas

Do the forests feel a bit too dull for you?

Forests of San Andreas adds plenty of changes to the way forests work in the game, by creating new random scenarios that happen in the woods as well as adding countless new trees and assets to the open fields of the game.

Vegetation is going to be playing a much more crucial role in your graphical journey once you’ve installed this bad boy.

I encourage you to give it a shot if you’re a nature lover as well as a cold-blooded killer. Yes, these hybrids exist!

6. City Lights Addon

Oh man, this mod has to be installed alongside a graphical overhaul mod.

Please, just hear me out – the way city lights get placed strategically across highways and in locations that really needed them to make your time in Los Santos feel like you’re truly in a real city.

The graphic mods make everything look much better in general, so you’ll completely fall in love with the game when driving out at night. But it adds a whole lot into the map as well.

5. Forests of Chiliad

So this map is included in Forests of San Andreas, but I’m rating it higher up because it was the first one I tried back in the day and I completely loved it.

This free add-on does the same as Forests of San Andreas. But it mainly focuses on covering the part of Mount Chiliad.

If you don’t wish a complete overhaul of vegetation, maybe give this one a try.

4. Franklin’s Luxury House

Franklin should be living like a king after moving to the GTA Hollywood area.

And this mod does justice to how fantastic his new house should be.

It completely changes the way it looks and enhances many of its exteriors as well as its interior.

3. Grand Theft Auto Remastered Addon

So this mod works around the original GTA V map and adds plenty of more vegetation and details to it.

It’s a fantastic mod that you’ll completely love if you want to give your game a new breath of life.

With over 15,000 new props added, this is a massive addon that will surely make your map look much better.

2. Vice Cry Remastered

Visit Vice City in GTA V with this amazingly detailed mod.

It basically changes the map so you can explore the vastness of Vice City using the engine of GTA V. How neat!

Granted it’s not a super detailed mod or anything, especially since it’s digging into an existing GTA game.

But it does let you explore Vice City which is such an amazing title with some very cool places so I’m giving it the second spot on my list.

1. World Improvement Map Editor

Last but not least we come to a real fun addition to the game.

This mod overhauls the basics of the Los Santos map, making everything look better and much more realistic.

The new map is super detailed and I’m sure you’ll love it right from the beginning. So give it shot if you want to make the game feel more alive while radically improving the map we all know & love.

Browse:Grand Theft AutoVideo Games

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).

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.

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

Gta Vc Mods Android

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.

Gta Vc Map Mods

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.

Gta 4 Map Mods

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.

Gta V Map Model

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.
