Installation

Before installing the pack be sure that your steam version of GTA III are 100% clean, without any other mods or modified files. I recommend you to before install the pack simply delete your GTA III folder from steamapps\common then download again and install the pack without the risk of crashes\unespected errors.

Download the pack[drive.google.com] (140MB)

Excract the 7z file and copy everything inside the mod folder to your GTA III root folder, replacing all the files. By default its located on: (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto 3).

After that your game will be ready to be played decently.

@PlanetNateGaming: maybe you did the same mistake as me: installed the game, installed the mod and upon starting the game - nothing happens. GTA3.exe was in Task Manager, but no game screen, you can only kill it.

I fixed it this way: uninstall the game, empty the game folder, install the game normally, open the game one time, close the game, install the mod, start the game - voila.

This just doesn't work for me, I follow the steps and the game just doesn't load. does anybody have any other options? I really want to give GTA3 a chance as it's my least played game in the franchise.

The textures look very good, for those who see Claude with his bad textures, choose "playa5 xbox" from the main menu.

I've been scrolling through the comments quite a bit and I'm the only one who seems to have this issue, but why are all weapon textures missing? they are all just plain white and i have no clue what to do to fix it, its not a huge issue, it doesn't really impact anything but I'm just wondering if anyone knows a way to fix it. I installed the mod and put it in the game files correctly, so I'm not sure what's going on.

For anyone who has Claude's skin be all messed up, go into the modloader folder, Skin and Bones, dff txd and delete player.dff and player.txd. I also deleted playerh and playerp because why not.

This is absolutely FANTASTIC! Thank you SO much for this! I wish I would have found this before funding my PSN account to buy the original GTA3 for PS3. @SpoodySTK you were 100% correct about how to fix the "player" skin. Some of the sequences shows cars with nobody driving them, but I think that is even better. lol Thanks again for this! A+! ^_^
