The best mods for GTA games in 2023 according to LibertyCity
Every year, thousands of custom modifications are released for PC games. However, not every one of them deserves your attention. In this article, we have collected the highest quality and most popular mods for games in the Grand Theft Auto series for 2023.
Instructions for installing each mod can be found in the file folders.
Liberty Extended 1.0 for Grand Theft Auto 3
If you want to replay the classic GTA 3, but are confused by the outdated interface, you don't have to run the Definitive Edition. The Liberty Extended 1.0 modification adds many innovations to the game that make it closer to the more modern parts of the series. After installing this mod, GTA 3 will have GPS and the ability to zoom in on the camera on the mini-map, control will become more convenient, and NPCs will react more realistically to your actions. If desired, you can switch the camera to first-person view. You can also note the ability to easily add new transport and script support thanks to CLEO Redux. These functions are important for those who will install other mods on top.
Note that the author previously made a similar modification for GTA: Vice City.
Aiming shooting from a car for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
In the early parts of the GTA series, you could shoot from a vehicle on the left or right side of the driver. It was only allowed to fire forward on a motorcycle. This modification allows you to shoot in any direction. The animation and gunshot sounds are correct and consistent with the original game. The weapons you can choose from are a submachine gun, a revolver, and a Colt 1911.
Grand Theft Auto: Sindacco Chronicles for GTA: Liberty City Stories
A large story mod for Liberty City Stories, which invites you to take part in the war between mafia families. Its action took place in 1998, a couple of years before the events of GTA 3. You will play as Joseph Daniel O'Toole, a representative of the Sindacco family. He must infiltrate the Leone clan and try to destroy it from the inside. But do not forget that the Forelli are also not asleep and are ready to strike at the most unexpected moment.
The modification can be praised for its scale. You will find 60 story missions, dozens of additional tasks, four hours of new radio recordings and voice acting in Russian using neural networks.
For the modification to work, you will need an image of GTA: Liberty City Stories for PC. You can run it using the PPSSPP emulator.
Animations in vehicles like in GTA 4 for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
A simple but interesting mod that makes driver behavior in San Andreas more realistic. After installing it, during sharp braking, CJ will lean forward by inertia, and then his body will return to its original position.
Environmental kills v1.1 for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
This modification adds the ability to kill people using environmental objects. They use garbage containers, food vending machines, and even fire hydrants that allow you to pour water down your throat until you choke. Something similar happened in the Hitman and Manhunt series. Passers-by will react differently to your actions. Some will start to run away, while others will watch what is happening with interest. And if you are spotted by a police officer, you will receive one wanted star.
Stealing a car like in GTA 4 for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
After installing this mod, CJ will break the glass with his elbow while stealing a car, like in GTA 4. This may set off an alarm. If there is a policeman nearby, you will receive one wanted star.
Starting the engine like in GTA 4 for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Another mod that makes car theft in San Andreas similar to what we saw in the fourth part. It will take CJ time to connect the right wires and start the engine.
The modification does not work during story missions.
Police Reaction to Player's weapon for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
And this modification is reminiscent of the first “Mafia”. After installing it, the police will respond to weapons in your hands. Their actions depend on what you are currently holding:
- Melee weapons and pistols. A police officer will approach you and ask you to show your documents. If you show them, they will let you go. If not, you will receive one wanted star;
- Heavy weapons. In this case, the cop needs to be bribed. If you refuse or do not have the required amount, the player will be given two wanted stars;
- Various items: spray can, camera, etc. The police do not respond to them.
To avoid a check, just move away from the cop to a safe distance or change your weapon to a bouquet of flowers or an aerosol.
If the police who noticed you are in the car, then after a while you will be given a wanted star, regardless of the type of weapon in your hands. Please note that the modification does not work during missions.
