A few days ago, we informed about an upcoming Remaster/Definitive Edition for Mafia 2. However, it appears that PC gamers can already experience Mafia 2 Remaster thanks to mods.
Modder ‘QTmodz’ has released an amazing overhaul mod for Mafia 2 that weights around 6GB in size. This mod, called Old Time Reality Mod, covers both the base game and its DLCs. The version for the base game is 2.8GB in size, while the one for its DLCs is 3.3GB in size.
Old Time Reality reworks the game’s weathers cycle & Lighting system for both Missions Exterior & Interior & FreeRide. Moreover, it includes HD textures, effects, as well as camera positions.
Furthermore, the modder has added new street lights, sun flares, and car coronas. Not only that, but players will experience new and improved interior and exterior lighting systems. Also, the modder has reworked the game’s PostFX settings.
Along those improvements, the modder has also included some gameplay tweaks. For instance, this mod has an improved FOV. The player can now collect more ammo, and weapons can hold more ammo. Also, the police is more random than before.
In order to showcase his mod, QTmodz shared the following screenshots. The screenshots will give you an idea of the graphical improvements that this mod brings to the table.
You can download the Old Time Reality Mod from here.
Have fun!

what are the best mods to get for this game?
Old time reality mod actually looks pretty good.
I didn’t like some textures, they look off.
It sure does. More so when used with this ReShade profile…
nexusmods(dot)com/mafia2/mods/42?tab=description
This is just great, and there’s even one for the ground only.
Makes the one from the post unnecessary.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Doesn’t look that enhanced for me compared to original. But will try anyway.
does a freeplay mod for this game exist? Story is trash but combat an driving is decent.
Available at moddb called Free Ride
sidequests?
Nope, there’s nearly nothing to do except driving around and shoot civilians and cops…
Dumb f.cking n.gger
yes
Are you on drugs or do you need to be on drugs? Jesus man, what is going on in your head dude.
This n.gger likes SJW games like Mafia 3, Watch Dogs 2 and sh.t on actual good games like Mafia 2 just like he’s doing here.
n.gger this n.gger that, STFU you trash
SO…. cracker this, white trash that… you’re all trash. STFU. Quit with the childish retorts. There is NO freeplay mod… the game is technically free roam.
The story is not bad but it’s also not great. Mafia 1 had the best story hands down.
I’m sure the remastered version wont look like this…
Of course not. The remastered version will have missing features.

You da real mvp!
Thanks.
welcome
Butthurt much?
LOL
This is the original game with no mods and just a custom ENB, and I think it’s better than this 6GB texture pack :

Care to provide some links, mate?
The link is waiting to be approved by DSOGaming, but for the time being, you can google “SweetFX Settings DB”, and search for Mafia II.
Thank you!
Gonna see wich one is better to use.

Usually, I download all of my ENB/Sweetfx/Reshade on this website :
https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/game/33/
The one I use is “fuschelfu’s config”, but unfortunately, it has been deleted, apparently.
Hi Stephanie Bianchi ?? sorry for much late post I never noticed this article before But as author of the mod I will tell you Original ain’t better.
One screen shot from a weather that is not even altered yet is lazy work!
If I had the time to put together a side by side showcase of everything I have done you sweetheart would blush. The original is very low poly models with textures not even half HD Res never mind everything thing else that was improved on.
But I’ll leave it at that because working on 2 dlc for the game.
Woah!
It’s quite nice imo.
Thanks John, gonna download and play the shiet out of this masterpiece again!
Is it just me, or the game doesn’t work on Steam? (with the mod, i mean)
When I played Mafia 2 I was really hyped for Mafia 3, and then they fked it….
Really wish we would get a bigger “Mafia 2”.
Cool game, just way too short.
GTFO
Why do people like you keep following this website if all you do is b*tch and moan on every article?
He has a personal axe to grind with the site owner. His crying has been going on for many months now. Tragic.
No comparison = bad article
It’s not 6 Gig. It’s 2.4 Gig… I’m not even sure if it works the the Definitive Edition because my game always crashes at the Title Screen after the mod is installed.
