I've noticed there isn't a topic for this, yet GTA IV has to be one of the more frustrating games to mod, and has such a gigantic selection of mods to choose from.
I don't really mod the game too much myself, as I have several issues, but I will compile any mods people post and talk about, as well as tweaks to improve performance here.

Tweaks
By far the best tweak for GTA IV has to be the commandline.txt, simply create a notepad .txt document in your GTA IV directory and add these commands to it to increase performance.
ADVANCED USERS ONLY;
A COLLECTION OF ALL THE Commandline.txt commands i have found and that have helped me

Be careful when using them however, as it is hardware dependant, you have to choose tweaks depending on screen resolution, refresh rate, GPU memory, system memory etc. and choosing poorly can result in the game being forced into 800x460 resolution with everything on lowest.
Icenhancer is by far the best post-process 'ENB' mod available for GTA IV, do not be intimidated by it however, as it actually gives BETTER performance than standard GTA IV, while dramatically improving the visuals.

I don't think its multiplayer but its very similar to DayZ, only instead of other surviving players there are Scavengers and Bandits controlled by A.I. They can attack you, or assist you by killing Zombies, the way the zombies work is awesome and so ingenious too, it just makes every pedestrian hostile, in the wounded state, trying to attack the player with their fists. As the game is standard, without any real modding, this looks incredibly a lot like real Zombies, and they don't run either!

If you like this and download it, I'd recommend this too:
Definitely worth skinning those in, to actually make them look like Zombies and not crazed peds.
