*** Grand Theft Auto IV - MODS & TWEAKS ***

I don't get how people are using realizmIV, I installed it to my game dir and it asked to insert the cd with I don't have as its steamworks, also installed to my desktop then copied everything that way except .exes game didn't even load.

I don't care to much though as vizualIV does the same thing and works.

-norestrictions
-nomemrestrict
-percentvidmem 100
-memrestrict 681574400
-memrestrict 629145600
-availablevidmem 2
-noprecache
-novblank



-novblank is no vsync but for some reason adding it here gives me better performance,without it i get popup,i just force vsync through inspector and it works great.....very wierd in the way this game works.

whats the memrestrict for? and im guessing vid mem = 2 is 2gb?
 
Taxi bug can be removed via a scripted mod, just Google it. It is incompatible with Ultimate Textures v1 from my experience, not sure about v2. It works though, despite the fact everything looked unrendered and somethings just straight up weren't even there, I did have all of the cars I'd modded in on the roads! :p

Easy to uninstall so you can risk trying, either way.
 
Had a quick play to fix the sun being so bright at rise/set.

So, whats the general conclusion here, there are so many different graphics tweaks available I dont know which to go for.

iCEnhancer looks quite popular but there seems to be some others that people think are better.

Im trying to make GTA4 look as 'realistic' and visually pleasing as possible.

EDIT: I think game developers should take a long hard look at games like GTA4 sometimes and cry in the corner or strive to make a game as good as Rockstar can:

(yes I know this is the stock game modified, but underneath it all is still a great game world engine and it allowed for mods such as these to exist and turn GTA4 into a stunning looking game IMO.

Personally I disagree, GTA campaign is boring and the multiplayer game itself is lacking. The only thing this game has going for it is the great open world. Also without the third party mods I would barely be playing it.

The storyline on GTA is actually pretty good in my opinion. Probably quite a few eastern europeans tried to start a life in America in real life like Niko does in the game.
 
Just posting to say thank you for uploading your ENB config Skyfall. I do not plan to play it just yet, but I installed it and added your config and it looks great along with better city textures.
