Because Rockstar is too-busy milking GTA 5 to make a new game: We're taking matters into our own hands! Welcome to Garry Theft Auto! (Mods are ordered from most useful to least useful)

Keep reading below to figure out what you should install for what purposes:


For the map
There are 2 modes to Garry Theft Auto; Sandbox (City of Vice) and Story (_district maps). Sandbox has compatibility with Background NPC's and better optimization while Story has actual MISSIONS to complete. If you wish to play Story, just ignore the occasional ♥♥♥♥♥♥ political jokes in the descriptions and use the unofficial gamemode linked in this pack.

If you wish to have day, night and storm cycles for either: Download Stormfox 2 (At your own FPS-related risk)

For the citizens
If you're playing Story, citizens and life come pre-packed into the map. But for Sandbox you will require Background NPC's and "More Map Support" for said mod. Traffic still comes pre-packed in the map (Assuming you have GTA V cars).

For the atmosphere
If you want that genuine GTA experience, Enhanced Thirdperson, combined with the GTA San Andreas HUD and of course the minimap should be the first mods you download here, as Enhanced Thirdperson has an accurate GTA preset built in for you to use.

Apart from that, Quickdraw can give the game a GTA-esc weapon wheel for that extra immersion.

For the player (New)
Ever noticed how cold your characer feels in thirdperson? 'Automatic Player Looking', 'IK-Foot' and 'Player Flinching' can help make your character feel more alive, while 'Players Scream while falling' and 'Brutal Deaths' can give your player a voice for once! (Both of these should snap to your characters gender automatically)

For the content
For Sandbox, Background NPC's and the optional traffic combined with the GTA !V SWEPs should be all you really need to have a good time.

But if not: WAC Aircraft can open up a whole new world of opportunity to ♥♥♥♥ up some dumb-ass NPCs' day, if you're willing to look past the large filesize.
