Vice City: Nextgen Edition Essentials

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.

It is an essential addition that enhances the features of the original "Next Gen" mod.

Main Changes:

• Tommy Vercetti's Shirt Texture: The mod brings back Tommy's late beta design for his shirt, using Revolution Team's original shirt texture, which was a great help in completing this look.
