How to Install Mods on GTA: Vice City

Vice City has a unique 80s atmosphere. The game is filled with references to films and TV shows of that era, and all the vehicles, weapons, and music match the epoch. It is not surprising that many fans of the series still replay this part of GTA today. But it can be enhanced with various modifications. In this guide, we will explain what needs to be done.

This instruction is suitable for the standard Vice City, which was released on PC in 2003.
