Vice City: Next Gen Edition Essentials is a modification package for GTA Vice City: Next Gen Edition, designed to improve the original mod from Revolution Team. This mod includes updated sounds and textures, providing a more refined experience, but it is not a full-fledged "Next Gen" mod. It is an essential addition that enhances the features of the original "Next Gen" mod.
Main Changes:
- Tommy Vercetti's Beta Outfit: The mod brings back Tommy's late beta design for his shirt, now using an upscaled version of the original beta shirt texture, This was done due to an issue with Revolution Team's shirt texture where i was unsucessful in getting the saturation correct so therefore as of update 3.0 it's no longer being used.
- Updated Sounds: Replaced various in-game sounds, including weapon sounds, vehicle door sounds, explosions, and more, to enhance the atmosphere.
Installation Instructions:Tommy’s Beta Appearance:

This mod is a fantastic addition for those who want to enhance the atmosphere of Vice City with updated sounds and textures while keeping the essence of the original "Next Gen" mod. Enjoy the experience!
