Niko's Ushanka

Adds a simple ushanka to Niko’s wardrobe.


The original base model was ported over from GTA V then completely reworked and adjusted to fit Niko’s head shape and proportions. The asset was fully reUV’d and retextured with all modeling work done in blender and texturing work done in Substance by Boolin, completely redone textures with particular focus on the fur.
I only handled the final technical steps required to get the asset working in IV including rigging and material setup in 3ds Max, all creative credit for this mod goes to Boolin.

The ushanka is set up as a sus2.wdr, which means it won’t get removed when Niko enters a vehicle or get knocked off during combat. It stays on just like any normal clothing piece

Boolin had never played IV on PC or modded it before, so I helped him get a modded copy of the game set up.

That quickly turned into interest in making a small simple mod for Niko, an ushanka.


lack of screenshots due to my game being weird, will upload more soon.
