Introduction
DUE TO THE ZIP BEING LOST YOU GOTTA MANUALLY SELECT THE MOD FROM THE LIST PROVIDED MY BAD HOMIES
This pack is primarily graphical and minor gameplay changes to make the game more modern. This pack provides no advantage to the player outside a few slice of life changes and does not affect the core story, missions or map of the game.

This mod pack is intended to be used and is FULLY compatible with GTA Vice City: Reborn. If you do not have that pack installed, please go here: and download the package and install it.
Vice City Reborn does:
  • Missing Radio Stations
  • Allows game modding via the 1.0 executable
  • Ports higher resolution models/textures/menus
  • Fixes several bugs and animation glitches
Graphic Fixes and Updates
Cleo Frame Limit Adjuster
An alternative FPS limit adjuster tool. Adjust the first two characters of the .ini and .cs in CLEO folder to adjust FPS value when game starts. Disable in game limiter to avoid frame stuttering and other conflicts if necessary. Default limit set to 60.
HD Particle Effects
Replaces low definition standard particle textures with clear HD. Replaces: Smoke, fire, water, blood, clouds, muzzle flashes, flying leaflets, traces from tires, and other standard textures.
Animation Tweaks
Fixes two of Tommy’s broken idle animations in the PC version and returns the full idle animations.
Tommy’s choppy fighting is replaced with the fighting stance and punch/kick animations from Vice City Stories. Running animation has also been changed.
Pedestrian Traffic Signal Fix
Ports over missing code, fully reenabling the pedestrian crossing traffic signal for the traffic light model(s).
Road Reflection Fix
Fixes the issue of road reflections not appearing or being bugged for newer PCs. Other surface reflections have been fixed as well.
See http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=22398 for more information
New, Better Gradients
Adds more color and atmospheric gradients to the sky. Ambient light and water have been edited to reflect new changes to the sky.
Small Boat Fix
Removes the transparent rectangle that can be seen when installing boat mods of which models are smaller than the original boat models. Press the sub-mission key while in the boat of your choice to remove the transparent rectangle.
Gameplay Fixes and Changes
Construct Stat Line
Fixes several bugs in the stats menu
See http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=28907 for more information
Clothing Wardrobe
Adds a wardrobe modeled on one from the Stories' games. Outfits will show in your wardrobe only after completing certain missions. It can be found at the Oceanview Hotel. The wardrobe can also be accessed from several other hideouts.
Clothes Don’t Reset
Tommy keeps his clothes after being wasted or busted and does not reset to the default street outfit.
Free Camera Movement
Allows the player to freely use the camera while driving. When using look left/right/behind and turret control buttons free camera will be temporary disabled. In the helicopter, to activate free camera you need to hold the horn key. The camera will auto adjust in the same manner as the vanilla version if not being used.
Get Drunk
Let’s you get drunk at the Pole Position and the Malibu Clubs. Drinks are free at the Pole Position Club and at the Malibu Club if you own them. Drinks costs $100 if you have not bought the Malibu Club. The screen will be washed out, the camera will wave around, your handling of cars will be impeded, and driving past a cop will earn you a wanted level. The effect will wear off over time. If you drink too much, you will pass out and wake up in up to 13 random locations around the city.
See http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=17002 for more information
Manual Aiming
Add the ability to aim by pressing right mouse button. You can also run/walk while shooting/aiming. To activate first person aiming on sniper rifles/rocket launcher, use "zoom in" button while stopped. With melee weapons hold "aim" button and attack someone to activate 'classic controls' camera. You can also reload weapons, while aiming by pressing the "R" key to reload. Hold "G" to throw grenade or molotov.
Radar Zoom
Simulates a feature from GTA IV that allows you to zoom out the radar and see a larger display of the area with the press of a key. Hold the "T" key to enable this and release the key to revert to the original. The radar will automatically zoom out while driving.
See http://gtaforums.com/topic/467104-vice-city-radar-zoom/ for more information.
Radio Fix
Scroll forward and backward on the radio (must reassign radio to mouse wheel).
Restart Taxi
A taxi will arrive at any hospital or police station whenever you are wasted or busted. Entering the taxi will warp you to the road closest to your previous location of death or arrest.
Ped Speech Patch
Pedestrians (including Tommy himself) become more talkative, like they were on the PS2 version of the game.
Pedestrians and Traffic
Ped and Traffic Tweaks
  • Pedestrians now have a higher spawn and density rate (about 3x)
  • Cars have now have a higher spawn rate, drive faster and are more spread apart
  • Pedestrians and cars no longer despawn at short distances. Cars and pedestrians will also stay on the map longer when not being viewed by the camera
  • Drivers reactions have also been tweaked accordingly to player activities, for instance some ped types will flee faste then others while others may fire back more aggressively.
  • Cops drive faster and take longer to despawn distance and offscreen wise.
  • Peds are more likely to fight back
  • Cops are similar to GTA IV cops, good luck on five star chases

Known Bugs:
  • When shot pedestrians in the Night Club continue to dance
  • Pedestrians may rear end each other trying to stop at red lights
  • The game crashes when pressing the radar key in the taxi while on a mission
  • Nearby pedestrians may find their way in the middle of your missions
  • Wheel animations do not move accordingly to car speeds

I have seperated the ped traffic mod from the other tweaks because some players may not like the changes made/may be running toasters that cannot handle the amount of on and off screen entities.

Manual Aiming does not seem to work. Am I the only one? I installed Reborn first and then the 2018 edition.

Why do the cars drive slower? It's very noticeable with the Banshee and Infernus. Tried figuring out what the issue was, but to no avail.

For those having crashes, try deleting the d3d8.dll and all VCLodLights files. It may work on new game or loading a save file.

Always backup your saves
