Now here is a pleasant surprise. After ten whole years of development, modder Hayssam Keilany finally released a new version of his graphical mod for GTA4, iCEnhancer 4.0.
iCEnhancer is a mod that became really popular in the early 2010s. The last major version came out in 2014 and improved things like the sky, clouds, and tree colors. In 2015, the modder started working on a brand-new version. We saw some screenshots in 2022… and then nothing. Honestly, I thought version 4.0 was quietly canceled. But no. After three years, Keilany finally released it, and now we can try it out.
The modder said that iCEnhancer 4 is the first version of his mod to use physically-based lighting. It also adds new effects like better-looking fog, water, and more. This means GTA 4 should look better than ever with this mod.
Do note that iCEnhancer 4.0 only works with versions 1.0.3.0 and 1.0.4.0 of the game. That’s because these versions work best with ENB. So, make sure you’re using one of them before installing the mod.
You can go ahead and download iCEnhancer 4.0 from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video for it. This video will give you a pretty good idea of what you can expect from it. So, make sure to watch it.
Speaking of GTA 4, there are some awesome mods you’ve got to check out. First off, there’s one that restores the multiplayer mode – a must-have for sure. Then, there’s a cool mod that adds cars from 1950-1993 and a mod that brings New York City to the game. For a smoother experience, PC gamers can also use DXVK. You can also get these mods that add an 8K Map and improve the Euphoria ragdolls. Let’s also not forget this mod that adds to the game a fully functional vehicle fuel system. Last but not least, there’s a mod that gives the main characters a total makeover.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Lols finally released when Rockstar probably going to drop a rumored enhanced version of the GTA IV. I honestly think sometimes Modders waste a huge chunk of their lives for nothing.
Most likely it's going to be X360 port for PS4, maybe not even with 60 fps support on PS4 lmao.
Well, this is true. It was behind a patreon paywall for years now. Now the mod is suddenly finished. I've tried it out last year, finished the main game, but the interior lighting is messed up. There are some other visual artifacts. I don't know if those were fixed.
I hope with the remastered version, they iron out the engine, especially the VRAM usage. It will be the ultimate version to mod.
Yes, I hope so it if the rumor is true then it would be nice to see some enhancements and fixes which plagued the original GTA 4.
I guess I'm spoiled by the videos I've seen of ChromatiX Enhanced, NaturalVision Enhanced and RealityV for GTA V Enhanced, because frankly, I find this very underwhelming.😑
Looks like hot garbage compared to vanilla
Wow, there's a name I haven't heard in a while. IMO the trailer wasn't too impressive, I guess GTA4 has finally aged visually to the point where mods don't help as much as they used to.
32 bit game engine limits the amount of VRAM you can use. Plus it can only use 4 cores/4 threads. You can only upgrade graphics so much with those limitations
Still looks old
Looks quite amazing to be honest.
modding this gta is such a mess, there are mods for different patches and all that.
