Modders ‘xowny’ and ‘Pastreaver’ have released two new mods for Grand Theft Auto 4. The first mod will increase the LOD distance for all pedestrians and vehicles. On the other hand, the second mod will improve the textures of all weapons.
Going into more details, the “2X Vehicles and Peds LOD Distance” Mod is a simple mod that increases the LOD distance for peds and vehicles by two times. As such, you’ll now have fewer pop-ins while exploring Liberty City. So, while this is a simple mod, it’s a must for those who want a more consistent image.
The Weapons HD Texture Pack uses AI tools in order to upscale the original textures. According to the modder, it brings a series of visual upgrades to the weapons in IV, TLAD, & TBoGT, providing more definition and detail compared to the original versions. Players can expect higher quality textures, as well as more detailed normal maps with more accurate shading.
Do note that the Weapons Pack will not improve any other textures. To further improve the game’s visuals, we suggest using other HD Texture Packs alongside it. In theory, it should be compatible with GTA IV Ultimately Beautiful Edition.
You can go ahead and download the mods from here and here.
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!

It’s a real screenshot of the game using the now very old iCEnhancer 3.0.
well maybe it’s cause i am on a phone but those graphics are amazing for a xbox 360 game i just cant see how without a lot of mods and a 4090 😀
Im pretty sure that screenshot is from Icenhancer mod ~8 years ago. Long before the 4090 was around.
it’s just the buildings and car textures it wasn’t in the game and no way in 2000s they had such graphics on a xbox 360 i loaded it up today on pc and its not even close without DXVK it is not as smooth there’s no road textures like that in the game i wish it was real but maybe in 2035

🙄..No one but you mentioned XBOX. Of course they didnt have this on console, the mention of MODS should have given that away. This is PC footage (((WITH Icenhancer MOD)))) from around 8 years ago, the video someone replied to you with has the exact frame that screenshot was taken from and it was posted 8 years ago..
