Earlier this month, we informed you about a mod that ported the GTA: Vice City map to Grand Theft Auto 5. And a couple of days ago, Candyland released a comparison video between the original game and the mod. This video shows how impressive and faithful the mod is, so be sure to watch it.
This DLC-sized mod features MLO interiors, bump mapped roads and various buildings, as well as 3D neon models. It also comes with spec mapped windows for proper reflections, brand new models and textures and working traffic lights.
Furthermore, Vice City Remastered features some custom scenarios/missions. As we’ve already said, this is crucial for such a big mod as it can provide players with new experiences. In other words, this isn’t just a map/level mod of GTA: Vice City.
As we can see below, the modder has used custom textures/assets for a lot of objects and buildings. Also, and thanks to the new engine powering GTA5, there are numerous weather effects that make the city look better than before.
In conclusion, this mod for GTA5 is as close to a Vice City Remaster as we can possibly can. So, if you haven’t downloaded the mod yet, go ahead and do so!

i posted a video in the previous article with san andreas graphics mod, san andreas with mods at this point is better than gta v, they even added ragdolls.
The 2002 version still looks better because the mod doesn’t meet today’s standards. Most of the textures in the modded version also seem to be too light breaking the atmosphere of the city. Not to mention it’s empty and dull as hell.
most mods aren’t that great. but this is pretty well done. bravo!
Soulless
The mod is sheet in comparation with original which is full of life.
If you’re a zombie its ok to like the mod.
Are there GTA mods that adds new missions with new maps instead of just a map?
Asking the real questions!
But my guess is that you just roam around.
Pointless I’ll say, but indeed a good work.
