Although GTA IV was released in 2008, it is still popular among fans. For example, many people liked realistic car physics, which was abandoned in the fifth part. However, in terms of graphics, the game has become a bit outdated over the years. You can give it a modern look with user modifications. You will learn how to install them from our guide.
How to install mods on GTA 4 using OpenIV
This method allows you to install modifications related to textures and models.
- Install the standard version of GTA 4 without modifications.
- Download and install programs such as OpenIV, ASI Loader (for scripts), and GTA IV Vehicle Mod Installer (for vehicles);
- Create a mods directory in the game folder;
- Download the modification and copy it to the mods directory or to the root GTA 4 folder.
Some mods, for example those that use ReShade technology, require installation via their own executable file. We recommend reading the mod description first, and only then starting the installation.
How to install mods on GTA 4 using IV Tweaker
This way you can activate modifications with the extensions .wdr, .wdd, .wft, and .wtd.

- Download and install IV Tweaker, as well as the ASI Loader utility.
- Download the modification and copy it to the IV Tweaker directory.
Manual installation of mods on GTA 4
