Grand Theft Auto 3 Preview Code Oct 7 2018 TBD Adventure Grand Theft Auto 3 Preview Code is the best way to experience Grand Theft Auto 3's earlier stages. With this mod you will. How to Download and Install MODs in Grand Theft Au.
Playing GTA3 decades years after its original release can be a bit tougher than you’d think. But mods help a lot.
So here I’ll be listing all the essential mods you can try for an updated experience, along with many others that promise to make your next playthrough feel like the best one yet.
Note: most of these mods need a little outside help to run correctly, so I recommend installing the CLEO Library before anything else.
25. 10th Anniversary Menu
Back in 2011, GTAIII got a re-release on mobile platforms to commemorate the game’s 10th Anniversary, complete with an updated interface.
This mod by creator Huckleberry Pie simply ports this updated interface to your PC version of GTA3, replacing the usual menu and splash screens with the ones from the iOS release.
They’re pretty stylish, and it’s a great way to spice things up after playing GTAIII for a while.
24. MP3 Control
PC versions of GTA games usually let you customize cruisin’ tunes by creating your own radio stations.
Just drop your mp3 files into a folder in the game’s root folder, and you’re good to go.
Creator Squiddy seeks to make the experience even more convenient by letting you control your music in-game.
With this mod you can skip to the next song, return to the previous one, or even shuffle your music while driving.
Works with any vehicle.
It also shows the name of the song as the radio station’s name, overall just modernizing your GTA musical enjoyment.
23. GPS Radar
Another small but meaningful improvement comes in the way of the GPS Radar, a mod by Jey Bee that replaces the old & boringly square map from the base game, with something more akin to a GPS.
It’s mostly for looks, but I can’t deny that it’s less cumbersome.
And it feels a lot more like more recent Grand Theft Auto installments. I wouldn’t pass up this one even if it seems minor.
22. Go-Inside-Vehicles
One of my first encounters with the limitations of technology during my formative years was walking up to a door in a video game, only to find out there was no way to open it.
We’ve all been there, right?
Moments later, it dawned on me that there was probably no interior either… and then the whole charade fell apart.
Perhaps modder Silberio had the same experience. His way to get back at reality was the Go-Inside-Vehicles mod, which lets you access the inner sanctum of stationary vehicles like the subway trains of Liberty City.
It’s a nice touch of realism added to the transportation system, and it goes a long way towards a more immersive experience.
21. Ultimate Stunt Park
One of GTA’s most attractive features is the opportunity to drive around pulling off dangerous tricks with no regard for your safety.
Or anyone else’s, for that matter.
This exciting mod by Odie expands our possibilities by outfitting Portland with its very own stunt park.
You’ll find loops to conquer, ramps to challenge, and many other impressive stunt-oriented structures. Even if you only use it once in a while, I guarantee you’ll get plenty of fun from this simple install.
20. Frame Limit Adjuster
Perhaps it’s unfair to place this small fix this low on the list considering how important it can be.
But I think it’s something everyone should get out of the way ASAP.
This CLEO-enabled tweak by prolific modder ThirteenAG helps you set the frame limit to 60fps to really make use of your powerful system.
If you’re playing on a modern PC running Windows 10, this is pretty much a must-have.
19. Widescreen Fix
Since we’re updating GTA3 to match our hardware, take the time to set-up this Widescreen Fix too.
It’s also made by ThirteenAG to help modern us access the cryptic worlds of antique games.
Since issues with widescreen resolution settings are so prevalent among older games, you’ll be happy to hear that ThirteenAG has these kinds of fixes for a variety of titles too!
These include other iconic GTA titles like Vice City and San Andreas, and even the ancient sprite-based GTA games that dinosaurs used to play.
18. Vehicle Cam
Driving at breakneck speeds through the streets of Liberty City is one of GTA3’s most appealing aspects.
So we want the experience to be as comfortable as possible.
This mod by RMWS modernizes driving by letting you move the camera using your mouse and keyboard controls, all while Claude (the main guy) is still at the wheel.
It’s a bit wonky sometimes, but it can be incredibly useful. Even if you run into a bug here and there while cruisin’ I think you learn to adapt fast.
Be sure to give it a try!
17. HD Road
At least 50% of your time playing GTA will be spent sitting at the wheel and watching the asphalt move below your low-poly wheels.
So why not make it look better?
With this addition by modder Duh02, you get a much more detailed finish on streets all around Liberty City.
People always sleep on these smaller mods. But even something as simple as updating the roads’ texture can elevate the experience to new heights, at absolutely no cost. Thanks, modding!
16. GTA: Liberty City Stories III Edition
Porting both past installments and handheld titles to newer engines on the PC has been a staple of the GTA modding community from its very beginnings.
This one by JimmyT recreates the 1998 Liberty City, which is the setting of the 2005 GTA: Liberty City Stories PSP game.
The mod even includes some of the early missions and even a functional ferry.
It ports characters, weapons, the HUD, and even changes the weather to match the PSP game.
Whether you played the original PSP title or not, you can’t miss out on this opportunity to re-discover Liberty City from a new perspective.
15. Vaporwave Mod
What’s more v a p o r w a v e than a vaporwave mod for a GTA game made in 2001?
This “mind-blowing” conversion by modder KaydenSpikes22 is heavily inspired by the album Social Justice Whatever by Christtt.
What began as an attempt to add a radio station playing vaporwave tunes, eventually became a total vaporwave conversion.
The sky is now a nice vaporwave pinkish-purple, there are lots of weird references, and the game makes less sense the more you play it.
Perfect if you’ve been feeling too sane lately.
14. HQ Textures
One of the first things we think about when beautifying a game is textures.
Even with no high-poly models or fancy post-processing, a better texture can go a long way toward a more realistic experience.
Creator Fireburns went through 150 textures, improving them one by one.
The result is a wealth of high-quality textures that blend wonderfully with one another, all in this free downloadable pack.
Glass textures are a highlight for me, as are the Coca-Cola vending machines that look just like the ones down the street from where I live.
Yet some of the most meaningful changes can be seen on shadows and foliage around Liberty City.
13. GTA 3 Natural HD Textures
They say variety is the spice of life.
And I think it applies to texture packs as well, so let’s cover another one.
If the last texture pack didn’t convince you, take a look at Dingleman’s Natural HD Textures.
Having first come out 20+ years ago, GTA3 might as well be considered an antique.
It’s no wonder its textures looked better on a CRT TV than on a modern screen.
These custom-made textures are the most polished way to enhance your experience and bring it closer to our times.
12. Real Effects
Now that you’ve taken care of the textures, you might want to take it a bit further and mess with the game’s visual effects.
Creator 1TUFSS makes it easy for us with his Real Effects mod, which modifies weather effects such as the rain, mist, or smoke from fires and car exhausts.
Even bullet trails get a touch-up here, and water has never looked this natural in GTA3. Too bad we still can’t swim (yet).
Something great about this mod is that you get all the features without so much as a hint of a performance cost.
Not that you’d have any with a modern gaming PC, anyway.
11. Autosave and Stuff
Nowadays, we take several Quality-of-Life features in games for granted. Chief among them?
An autosave feature.
If we die, we want to restart the game at the beginning of the current mission rather than four missions back… which is always the last time I decided to save manually.
While GTA3 was made before this was a standard feature in most action-oriented games, modder ThirteenAG brings us the solution with the Autosave and Stuff mod.
This enables Autosave, Quicksaves, and real-time maps, among a few other things.
Once you’ve tried this mod you won’t be able to go back.
10. HD Vehicles Tri-Pack
Lots of people nowadays play GTA just for the cars (and in the newer titles there are a lot).
You may not be any different after you install the HD Vehicles Tri-Pack by creator OnePiece.
This mod adds a massive variety of detailed vehicles to the game, all with better textures and better models than those in vanilla GTA3.
Busses, classic cars, newer super-cars, and much more are waiting for you behind this simple install.
And they look right at home in the streets of Liberty City.
9. GTAIII: Remastered Edition
Now here’s something with a bigger scope than a mere HD texture pack.
Created by OmeXr, GTAIII: Remastered Edition promises to be the ultimate visual improvement for this age-old game.
Not only does it improve virtually every texture including shadows, but it features color correction, and even adds accurate reflections to many of the game’s surfaces, like windows and car paint.
It’s a bit of an extra, but this mod also makes the sky a vibrant vivid blue that gives Liberty City a completely different feel.
Well worth a try to see what you think.
8. GTAIII Ultimate Trainer
Back when I was a child, learning the cheats for my favorite PC games was like a game in and of itself.
And whenever I got to try a new one, it was like discovering a whole new side to a game I loved.
But you know what would’ve been simpler? Having hotkeys to every one of my cheats – and that’s what the GTAIII Ultimate Trainer by LithJoe is here to offer.
It includes all the classic boosts, such as giving yourself all weapons, extra money, full health, and manipulating your wanted level.
It also features some more obscure changes such as the ominous “Gore Mode” and making every police officer and patrol car disappear with the push of a button.
No more scouring the web for a cheats list, cause you’ve got them all at your fingertips.
7. Mod Loader
We’ve covered so many mods so far, you’ve likely seen several that could make a great addition to your GTA experience.
To help you install and manage so many mods, I recommend Link2012’s Mod Loader.
This convenient tool will let you choose which mods load first, enable and disable them at will, and even tweak their config files without too much trouble.
Mod authors generally work with this manager in mind, so it usually works wonders for every mod out there.
Easily the best part about the Mod Loader is that you don’t need to install any mods over your vanilla game files, keeping your game’s file directory intact.
6. III Aircraft
I have many friends who own GTA V just for the pure hedonistic pleasure of booting up the game, going into the airport guns blazing, and stealing a plane, only to crash it into the water minutes later.
I can see the appeal.
The PC GTA3 didn’t include any kind of aircraft you could pilot.
However, both Vice City and San Andreas did have this feature… and since they run on virtually the same engine, it wasn’t too hard for notorious modder Silent to re-work some code and bring flying machines to Liberty City.
Aircrafts in GTA3 offer a whole new world of fun to discover.
And you can do so in anything from an LCPD Maverick helicopter to a stylish biplane.
5. G-Input
Another mod by prolific modder Silent, this offers a fix that’ll let you use your modern DualShock and Xbox gamepads to play this incredible low-poly sandbox game.
Older titles like GTA3 are generally programmed to use DirectInput for collecting the user’s commands, which isn’t ideal for current-gen gamepads that work with Xinput.
This mod not only enables GTA3 to work with Xinput and recognize your modern gamepads, but it even supports SIXAXIS functionality on DualShock controllers too.
4. GTAIII: XBOX Version HD
Lots of PS2 and PC GTAIII users went through their time with the game feeling like those playing on XBOX had it better. Since the XBOX version of the game had sharper graphics, better textures, and several other improvements.
This incredible mod will make sure you never have to feel that way again by bringing every single upgrade from the XBOX version to GTA3 on the PC.
Better models, road gloss, realistic rain droplets, and HQ Radio Stations are only some of the enhancements you’ll notice.
And since you’re going to be using this on a more technical system, you won’t have to contend with the framerate drops the XBOX version was known for.
3. Liberty City Twenty Ten
Whenever we’re hunting for mods, most of us hope we’ll find a massive conversion that’ll let us re-experience our favorite game from an entirely new perspective.
Liberty City Twenty Ten offers us just this by presenting a new storyline taking place in Liberty City, just after a violent Civil War has ravaged the State of Liberty and America at large.
Chaos reigns and murder is commonplace.
But that’s just what GTA has always looked like, right?
This mod includes new vehicles, a very modified map, and hours of fun as you try to survive and take over the city. It’ll definitely keep you busy for a while.
2. Silent Patch
If there’s a type of mod that we can all equally benefit from, it’s massive compilations of fixes and small improvements that the original developers should’ve taken care of, but didn’t.
Lucky for us, there are modders like Silent who’ve made it their Odyssey to go around bringing games to their most polished version yet.
Once you’ve installed this mod you’ll realize a lot of what made the PS2 or Xbox versions of the game better: fixed bugs, rather than new features.
Stuff like car reflections being appropriately rendered can make a real difference.
1. Frosted Winter
Few names are as respected in the classic GTA modding community than PistukasMods, responsible for massive total conversions such as Frosted Winter for GTA3.
This frosty mod brings in so much content, it might as well be a whole new game.
It features 53 new story missions, 18 new asset missions, and even 14 side-missions, letting you enjoy the new storyline and providing an excuse to try out all those new weapons (granted the old ones are still around too).
Other than that, there are also several new jumps, rampages, and collectibles to find in this snowy city.
If you’re looking for a single mod that’ll give you weeks of new things to explore, you have to try out Frosted Winter.

A collection of community-made mods for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto III to fix many long-standing issues and restore some of the PlayStation 2 version's features, as well as a few mod packs to enhance your experience.
Introduction
Grand Theft Auto III is often considered one of the most revolutionary PlayStation 2 titles of its time, known not only for making a huge leap from its top-down 2D predecessors, but also the wide-open sandbox genre by allowing players to freely roam in a fully 3D, fictionalized version of New York. Over the course of time, the game has been ported to other platforms such as Windows PC in 2002, the original Xbox in 2003, and for its 10th anniversary, a mobile port for iOS and Android in 2011. The PC version, while it has a few benefits over the original PlayStation 2 version, it also has some noticeable drawbacks, missing features from its PlayStation 2 counterpart, and many leftover issues that to this day has yet to be addressed by Rockstar themselves, some of which only has gotten worse thanks to growing compatibility issues on later Windows operating systems and newer hardware. However, thanks to a talented modding community, we can not only fix many of these issues, but improve upon what the PC version has to offer. For those also interested in the aesthetic and technical differences between each version of the game, give these comparison videos by Vadim M a watch, as well as this article by Digital Foundry a read.
In-Depth Comparisons and Differences
The Essential Fixes
In the following download is a compilation of various community-made mods and unofficial fixes that not only address some of the major issues in Grand Theft Auto III's PC port, but will also downgrade the Steam and v1.1 versions of the game to the v1.0 release which is usually required by some mods to work properly. This package can also be applied to the retail release as well. These fixes are compiled with the intent of retaining vanilla features of the PC version to an extent as a precaution for other mods that may have issues. If you wish to know more about the mods featured in this package, you can view the included readme file under the 'List of Featured Mods' section.
Features
- Proper widescreen display, FOV fixes, custom HUD scaling, DirectX 9 support, borderless fullscreen, and an ASI loader (via Widescreen Fix).
- The original PlayStation 2 atmosphere and effects restored (via SilentPatch, SkyGfx, and ParticleEx), along with SkyGfx presets available based on other releases.
- Modern XInput and DualShock 3 controller support, with classic or Grand Theft Auto IV-styled controls (via GInput III); higher-quality controller prompts for GInput are also included.
- Comes with Link2012's Mod Loader plugin, which allows you to use various mods for the game without replacing most core installation files, making installing/uninstalling mods easier.
Download
- Google Drive.
Installation
Note: A clean, vanilla installation of Grand Theft Auto III is also highly recommended to minimize issues upon installing these files! I also suggest making a back-up vanilla copy of the game to save time in case if you need to re-install the original files!
- Install Grand Theft Auto III through Steam or the installation discs if you own the retail release.
- Download the Grand Theft Auto III: The Essential Fixes package from the links above.
- Extract the contents of the zip archive and copy the files to your Grand Theft Auto III installation folder, overwriting any files in the process.
- Tweak any settings of each mod's .ini file if they support configuration files as desired, found under <path-to-GTA3>scripts folder or its root installation folder.
If you wish to see the changes and comparisons with these mods installed, continue reading to the following section, otherwise jump to the appropriately labeled sections for mods to use these fixes with.
Comparisons
In the following section is a comparison of some of the visually represented issues from the vanilla Steam version and how can they be addressed with these mods. Note that all screenshots were taken at a resolution of 1080p (1920x1080).
Poor widescreen support
An example of poor widescreen implementation, even with the in-game widescreen option enabled. Issues includes distorted visuals and HUD elements stretched from 4:3 which are not scaled proportionally in high resolutions, tiny radar blips, poor FOV, and irrelevant controller button prompts (left). These issues are corrected via Widescreen Fix while GInput adds improved controller support for XInput and DualShock 3 controllers with relevant controller prompts (right).
Misaligned mouse aiming in widescreen
This issue be difficult to spot through the screenshots, but the game's widescreen option also breaks alignment of the weapon sight for weapons when using the 'Standard' mouse and keyboard controls, causing your shots to fire slightly above and to the right from the center of the sight (left). This was also corrected via Widescreen Fix (right).
Missing surface glow from pick-ups
The PC version is missing the subtle surface glow under pick-ups from the PlayStation 2 version (left). SilentPatch addresses this (right).
Simplified particle effects
Some particle effects from the PlayStation 2 version such as smoke (pictured) and water splashes (not pictured) are simplified in the PC version (left). ParticleEx not only can restore the original PlayStation 2 effects, but also give users the ability to switch between the PC and Xbox effects as well, without modifying the game's particle.txd and particle.cfg files (right) or drastically altering their appearance.
'Dark cars' bug (Steam)
An example of a Steam-exclusive bug where cars are rendered incredibly dark and dull being demonstrated with a Cheetah (left), which was not present in the retail releases. This is how they should look like after using Steam Car Colour Fix (right; using the 'PC' texgenSwitch and texblendSwitch from SkyGfx).
Miscellaneous issues
Gta 5 Pc Mods Install
There are some other oddities, issues, changes that are not shown but are present in the PC version as well, such a 'cannot find 640x480' error, menu text being missing or being slow to display, the Steam version asking players to 'insert Disc 2 to play' when they most likely don't have a retail copy, unused loading screen images from the PlayStation 2 version, the infamous 'missing Purple Nines' glitch, though these issues can be remedied by these fan-made fixes.
PS2 Feels III Edition
PS2 Feels III Edition mod by Mugetsuga basically converts many of the assets and features of the PlayStation 2 release of the game to PC, while fixing some of the oddities from that version. It also has various tweaks and extra features supported without losing the overall feel of the PlayStation 2 version, with various presets available. This is nice way for those that want to re-experience the original PlayStation 2 version without resorting to emulation or if you do not have access to the PlayStation 4 re-release. The mod packs I've put together were also inspired by this mod's structure to allow for some toggleable features. If you are having issue with video playback when using PS2 Feels III Edition for the game's into videos, please look into its readme file for a codec pack that can fix the issue as well as its preset of features you can enable.

Anniversary Edition
After seeing basic and so many bad '10 Year Anniversary PC' mods for Grand Theft Auto III, ranging from only getting the menus and (poorly converted) Xbox vehicles, some of these being bloated with unnecessary things that don't make sense, or worse, don't let you play story missions, I decided to try and make an off-shoot of dimzet's 'Mobile to PC' mod and try to make a collection of mods that can bring some of the features from the mobile version to PC while trying to restore missing features from the PlayStation 2 (via Liberty City: The Leftovers Fix). The result (so far) is a mod pack that not only lets you enjoy some of the mobile version's features on the PC version, but also allows you to switch between the PS2/PC features thanks to Mod Loader, along with some things borrowed from PS2 Feels III Edition to fix some other errors the vanilla PC and even the mobile version has. I still consider this compilation a 'beta' since there are some features I haven't seen implemented, like the Vice City-like rain effects, recreating UI and HUD elements from the mobile version in higher quality/resolution, other UI graphics that I haven't been able to port over to PC (while many others were edited from other mods), some textures supplied by dimzet's mod doesn't exactly work right (some clash together with the PC ones or rendered 'brighter' than usual), and there doesn't seem to be an accessible map mod of sorts, but so far it is fully playable from my experience putting this together.

Xbox Conversion: The Unofficial Revision
Xbox Conversion: The Unofficial Revision is an unofficial 'revised' version of Rim's Xbox Version mods, which brought the visual upgrades from the Xbox port of the game to PC. The HD version would later fix issues the previous version had with remastered HD-quality textures. The problem with these mods whoever is that they seem to be prune to bugs one way or another (especially the original non-HD version), have a long and complicated set-up process (especially the HD version), and since Rim's disappearance, other mods that Xbox Version mod relied on becoming outdated. So I took liberty of trying to fix these issues myself, simplifying the set-up process (thanks to Mod Loader), compiling everything the HD version of the mod has, and taken some of the converted Xbox port's assets by TheHero for a replacement for the old Xbox mod (since the HD version used these as a base), while trying to remain faithful to the mod's original intentions.

Other Recommended Mods
This is a small set of other mods I recommend outside of the ones featured in The Essential Fixes. Please note that for the most part, this list of mods is trying to avoid anything majorly game-changing.
- Auto-Save - This CLEO script adds an auto-save function to the game, which saves your progress upon completing a mission. Despite what the description says, it always saves on Slot 1, NOT Slot 7!
- Car Speed-Dependant FOV - An FOV feature from Widescreen has been re-implemented as a CLEO script. This script is highly recommended!
- Walk Mod - Binds the Alt key to allow you to walk when playing on mouse and keyboard. May not work when played in borderless fullscreen.
- Wheel Turning Speed Adjuster - Makes the wheels on vehicles turn a bit more slowly and 'realistic'.
- Radio for All Vehicles - Allows all vehicles, including emergency vehicles like the Police car and Ambulance trucks, to support the radio.
- Turn Indicators - Allows your vehicle to use turn indicators while driving (if the vehicle has them).
- Vehicle Camera Movement - Allows camera movement while driving with the mouse. Only works on the 'Standard' (mouse and keyboard) control style!
- Not An Amazing Screenshot - A script that allows you to control the camera and allow unique screenshots.
Troubleshooting
Note: If there's a problem with the mods themselves, please direct them to their respective developers, this list for common and more easily fixable issues that can occur when using some of these mods.
My game is crashing at launch!
Unfortunately, random 'Unhandled Error Exception [code numbers>' crashes can still happen, even with these fixes speaking from experience. The best things I can suggest are:
- Delete your 'gta3.set' settings file (found under Documents/GTA3 User Files). If need be, screenshot your settings and keybind beforehand!
- Uninstall any mods you may have downloaded outside of the ones mentioned in this Steam guide, though removing files from The Essential Fixes may help, too.
- Revalidate/reinstall your Grand Theft Auto III installation from Steam, or if you have the retail release, reinstall the game from the discs.
Steam Overlay doe not work/Game crashes when launched via Steam!
This seems to be an issue with Steam not knowing the game is being played under DirectX 9 instead of DirectX 8 moreover the patched .exe itself (I have tried disabling Widescreen Fix's D3D8to9 function and the game worked with the patched .exe launched via Steam, but it also means mods like SkyGfx won't work). For a possible workaround, try the following:
Gta 3 Pc Mod Installer
- Run the game using Windows 7 or Windows XP compatibility mode.
- Use SweetFx with Widescreen Fix (you do not need to use effects, but do NOT mix MSAA with SMAA!).
My game is crashing when switching resolutions!
I'm not sure if this is an issue with Widescreen Fix or how the game is able to handle resolution switching while running under Direct3D 9 instead of 8. If you need to switch resolutions, open GTA3.WidescreenFix.ini found in [path-to-GTA3>scripts with a text editor (preferably Notepad++ to maintain format) and change the following to your desired resolution:
- ResX = 0 // This setting can override game's horizontal resolution (-1|0|*).
- ResY = 0 // This setting can override game's vertical resolution (-1|0|*).
Setting these values to '-1' will use the game's settings instead being overridden by Widescreen Fix. You may also want to manally change the aspect-ratio of FrontendTextures (e.g. set it to '16:9' for 1920x1080) if some menu textures appear to be not scaling properly to the game's resolution.
The HUD is too small/big!
I've preset the HUD scaling size in Widescreen Fix based around the recommended original scaling settings. If you need to adjust the HUD scaling, open GTA3.WidescreenFix.ini found in [path-to-GTA3>scripts with a text editor and adjust the following settings:
- HudWidthScale = 0.0 // 0.8 by default. For original scaling, set to 1.0
- HudHeightScale = 0.0 // 0.8 by default. For original scaling, set to 1.0714285
- RadarWidthScale = 0.0 // 0.9 by default. For original scaling, set to 1.0
- SubtitlesScale = 0.0 // 0.8 by default. This can increase or decrease subtitle's size. For original scaling, set to 1.0
Setting these values to '0.0' also seem to automatically set values to default scaling settings used by Widescreen Fix.
Can I use a DualShock 4 controller with the game?
From my experience, it could be possible by using DS4Windows to wrap XInput to a DualShock 4 controller to use with GInput. If you need to change button prompts to match, open GInputIII.ini found in the root of your Grand Theft Auto III installation folder or the scripts folder and change the following:
- PlayStationButtons=0
Setting this value to '1' will swap the Xbox prompts with PlayStation ones and vice-versa.
