GTAMEN00 Ultimate Car Pack

A complete and higly detailed overhaul, cured in every detail and based also on research to create the definitive version of the vehicle fleet of Liberty city.

GTA IV — GTAMEN00 Ultimate Car Pack v 1.4

This is my loveletter to my favourite game: GTAIV and my passion: cars.

After spending countless hours playing and enjoying GTA IV, I wanted to create something that would combine two of my biggest passions: Liberty City and cars.

This pack is the result of a huge personal project focused on giving GTA IV a more immersive, varied and realistic vehicle experience, while still respecting the atmosphere and identity of the original game.

REQUIREMENTS

FusionFix

.Net scripthook — to make the traffic loader work

dsound.dll (included in the pack) — REQUIRED for the pack to work.

Recommended

Liberty Legacy Trainer — required only if you want to manually spawn the add-on vehicles.

If you don't install Liberty Legacy Trainer, the add-on vehicles will still appear naturally in traffic thanks to the included traffic setup.

DESCRIPTION

First of all, I am not the original creator/owner of the vehicle mods included in this pack!

Most of the work behind this project consisted of spending around two months selecting, testing and comparing hundreds of vehicles, trying to find the best possible cars while keeping the overall size and performance impact as low as possible.

I also created and modified the handling and specific textures for many of the vehicles, with the goal of improving their integration into GTA IV and making the cars feel more natural within Liberty City's world.

The final result is a 226 MB vehicle pack.

Honestly, even I initially thought that fitting this amount of work into such a small package would be almost impossible.

A COMPLETELY REWORKED VEHICLE FLEET

Virtually every vehicle in the game has been replaced with either:

A real-world counterpart

A high-quality lore-friendly vehicle

A heavily customized version of an existing vehicle

I wanted every vehicle to make sense within GTA IV's universe while preserving the atmosphere and identity of the original game.

As part of the project, I also carried out historical research into New York City's real-world traffic between 2006 and 2008. I used this research to select vehicles that would better reflect what you could realistically expect to see on the streets of New York during the same period in which GTA IV takes place.

This was especially important to me because I wanted the pack to remain as faithful as possible to the original GTA IV experience, rather than simply filling Liberty City with modern or randomly selected real-world cars.

Textures have also been modified wherever necessary to improve immersion and make vehicles fit their real-world counterparts.

For example:Grotti GT500: The Grotti GT500 receives Ferrari badges and emblems because of its extremely close resemblance to the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta.

Another example is the:NRG 900: The original NRG 900 has been replaced with the Bati from TBOGT, transformed into its real-world counterpart: the Ducati 848.

These are just two examples of the many small details that have been changed throughout the pack.

NEW LIBERTY STATE POLICE

The pack also introduces a new state police force for Liberty State.These vehicles feature a dedicated police livery and have approximately a 25% chance of spawning, alongside the existing Liberty City Police vehicles.This was done to add more variety to police encounters and make Liberty City feel like a larger and more diverse place.

DETAILS, TEXTURES & HANDLING

The amount of work involved goes far beyond simply replacing vehicle models.There are countless small adjustments, including:

Custom textures

Badges and emblems

Vehicle liveries

Visual details

Vehicle selection

Traffic distribution

Handling adjustments

Lore-friendly replacements

Real-world vehicle conversions

Compatibility considerations

Optimization and file size management

TRAFFIC SYSTEM

The pack also includes a pre-configured Traffic Loader.

It is already set up to provide what I consider the best possible solution for achieving a large variety of vehicles in traffic, without requiring you to configure the system yourself.

INSTALLATION

Installation is very simple.

1. Download and extract the archive.

2. Open the extracted folder.

3. Drag all files and folders contained inside it into your GTA IV main directory.

The destination should be the folder containing:GTAIV.exe4. Do NOT copy the README file.

5. Make suredsound.dllis present in the GTA IV directory.The pack will NOT work withoutdsound.dll.

WHY I MADE THIS

I'm not a professional modder.

I learned some modding along the way specifically because I wanted to create this project. I want to do it for personal use, but after all this journey I thought that who love this game deserve to have the possibility to experience this. If I had found something like this at the start I would have loved it.

This pack was something I had wanted to make for a long time, and eventually I decided to learn what was necessary to actually bring that idea to life.

The amount of work behind it is difficult to explain simply with a vehicle list.

There are so many little details, replacements, textures, configurations and handling adjustments that describing every single one of them would be incredibly reductive.

This pack is essentially my way of saying thank you to GTA IV.

It is a game that has remained incredibly special to me, and I hope that this project manages to communicate at least some of the passion I have for it.

 FINAL WORD

I put a huge amount of time, research and personal effort into this project.

I hope you enjoy driving these cars through Liberty City as much as I enjoyed putting the pack together.Rather than telling you exactly how many cars there are, listing every single replacement, or explaining every tiny modification I made...

I invite you to download the pack, play it, explore Liberty City and tell me what you think.

Your feedback is genuinely appreciated.

If you enjoy the pack, consider leaving a comment and sharing your experience.
