Grand Theft Auto IV Complete Edition is a fantastic game, but it isn't without it's many bugs and issues. Since the game was first released in 2008, it has aged lots. Since I am a beginner with modding, I wanted to seek guidance, as well as share knowledge along the way. Hopefully this forum and the forum category is suitable as I did not get any response on another online forum. If you are to try any modding, I strongly suggest that you backup your game's folder directory in case something goes wrong. The latest game version on Steam is 1.2.0.59. If you wish to play a mostly vanilla experience, I strongly suggest you play using this latest version, with some essential MODs. I watched - 'Fixing GTA IV with 4 Mods' by YouTuber TGJM - where he suggested using the following MODs: FusionFix Console Visuals (for Fusion Vegetation) Various Fixes Radio Restoration If you want to explore the many different MODs however, it is suggested that you use the GTA IV Downgrader to downgrade your game to say 1.0.8.0 or even 1.0.7.0. So many MODs do not work with the latest version of the game as they were created for older versions, such as 'Farnsworth's Business Mod' (use 1.0.8.0 or 1.0.7.0). I wanted help at creating a brand new modlist. I've used OpenIV, but I am not so great with that utility. Thanks to FusionFix, I have benefited at easily placing certain MOD files into an 'update' folder in the game's directory. I am trying to create a neat collection of both essential and optional MODs to help bring brand new life to this great game. What does the community suggest?
