GTA IV Graphics Mods (Vanilla-Friendly Edition)

[@Derp12]

Thank you for uploading this! My homosexual father and I enjoy your content.

[@InternetRob]

hahah what a world, tell your gay dad i said hi.

[@kaustubhshirke2556]

Oh great haha

[@valentinsaenz2499]

Oddly specific, but really wholesome

[@wanilimbe]

Weird, but ok.

[@Derp12]

Hello everyone, I shown this video to my transgender mother's great aunt and she seems to enjoy it too. Good stuff!

[@arthur8401]

I liked Sweet Autumn so much. It makes the game look a lot better, but keeps the amazing atmosphere of IV. That's how every ENB should be. By the way, incredible editing and content. Should have more subs.

[@AG-zw4of]

Out of all of these, skyline is the best. Its really vanilla-friendly (as you said in the video) and it looks amazing

[@InternetRob]

i like that opinion, i agree that's it's amazing.

[@starfoxp51]

My favorite by far is Sweet Autumn. I will definitely download it. Thanks for showing such amazing mods and for helping to keep the best GTA and one of the best games ever made alive. I fucking love you, Rob!

[@InternetRob]

love you back! Thanks :)

[@andresa.ruizv.7413]

I like how games can trick yo to think "this looks photorealistic", that's what I like from RealityIV, it got me to think that so many times, and also, to learn where and when it fails, not sure if it is related to the creator or game engine limitations but here they are: lacks bloom effect; SkyDome day time colours not that accurate (some places look really great but others make it look wierd); the shadows in day time most of the time looks like we have a clear blue sky (that's why the shadows have a blueish tone and it is not that dark) despite having some clouds or the sky not looking that blue. Rob said an overall pros and cons that I agree with, and I felt like I needed to say this because realistic visuals are not that simple to explain and achieve in games, so we need some more factors to leave things clear :) Great video Rob! Awesome job you are doing to make people appreciate the game even to this days.

[@InternetRob]

10/10 comment man, thanks for leaving your thoughts.

[@INTERGTA]

It's amazing how much effort you put into the videos. Thank you for that!

[@InternetRob]

Appreciate it INTER, I just make the type of videos I like to watch :)

[@truegamingyt05]

I just want to play the game without lag😭

[@ICommitArsonAlt]

@@truegamingyt05 use DXVK

[@dsagent]

I'm about to play this for the first time. This video was exactly what I needed.

[@cydragon2.099]

Enjoy liberty city then

[@cyyeung4879]

Just brought it on Black Friday deal 😄

[@kaustubhshirke2556]

I use Reality IV 2.0, you had told about it in 7 mods to improve GTA IV gameplay video. Its Amazing Thanks!

[@THBULLDOZER]

Do they work with 1.2.0.43?

[@Carpollaaa]

@@THBULLDOZER Yes, they do. :)

[@liamronan4296]

Do enbs work with dxvk?

[@hmdm3783]

I love visualIV, especially night, even if the night sky isn't realistic it feels like it fits the city in some weird way

[@LeWyy98]

City lights are making sky orange/brown(fog, pollution,clouds are reflecting light), stars are less visible then, its very realistic for a city.

[@dqvmig3901]

Sweet Autumn makes everything feel like the GTA IV we all know and love but better. My favorite

[@Carpollaaa]

Sweet Autumn and RealityIV are the best for me. The colors in RealityIV are beautiful and realistic, and the mod runs very well. Sweet Autumn makes the visual amazing, clear and keeps the incredible atmosphere of GTA 4.

[@InternetRob]

You've got good taste

[@Carpollaaa]

@@InternetRob Thanks. :)

[@TheExtasy3]

Lately watching your video I finally decided to install GTA IV, so as RealityIV 2.0 and I must say, now my GTA looks awesome. Thanks! Waiting for new videos.

[@InternetRob]

thank you bro

[@yuvrajraghu2799]

Thanks man you're really reviving my favourite game

[@SSXThomas]

Reality IV is definitely the best one, I wonder how it would look combined with Clean IV. But Reality IV is the definite winner

[@ass_fat5509]

thanks for barely having the name of the presets on the screen ever. really helps a lot to not know whats playing. tremendous work deuche

[@rolig9303]

I love the Vanilla. With forced FXAA and at 4K its a beauty.

[@AnIndianPatriot]

Thanks for the video that we all wanted. The main drawback of Reality 2.0 is that you can't see anything at night time. I am kinda impressed with Visual IV I will try it out.

[@DeftestHawk]

This is such a good comparison video, probably the best I've seen.

[@sushamakumbhare9263]

Very informative 👍 Hyped for part 2❤️🔥

[@InternetRob]

thaaanks bro

[@jayc_1017]

VisualIV gives me the 2000s New York movies feel which fits for me.

[@kr1vii]

imo, skyline and virtualiv were probably the best, anyway great video rob, enjoyed it very much especially with the chat :)

[@InternetRob]

Honestly I could change my mind about the top 4, they are all so amazing. Not that CleanIV isn't good, it's useful for those that need it. Gotta do some experimenting and mixing some files from each mod together and see what I can make.

[@kencornish7995]

Well presented, and very informative. You make a very good point at the end where you show and explain briefly mixing and matching options from different packages. Personally, I've gone with DayL Natural timecyc (keeps vanilla ideas, but no desaturation) clouds from Max Payne 3, with a reshade on top which solves AA and introduces a subtle bloom and dof. On top of this (!), the very first enb version for gta4 with selected appropriate shaders (vehicle chrome, for example) which really pulls it into this decade...

[@Shadowdreamcast]

Great video! Sweet autumn lookin like an install for me lol

[@InternetRob]

niice, have fun.

[@teorhus]

Oh yeah, loved this video! I got reality iv 2.0 on the 7 mods to improve gameplay

[@InternetRob]

Oh yeah, I remember including that, glad to hear.

[@Blazepointfive]

bro, your voice💀 so good fam, you explain so well and make us watch till the end

[@Abhishek-tw8fr]

Just that beautiful night sky made me go for RealityIV

[@LastSuperiority]

I've always used Reality IV, but now I have to use Sweet Autumn instead. :D

[@Li7ewire]

a raining in the nigth scene will help to showcase them btw

[@InternetRob]

true, i should have featured more weathers in the gameplay.

[@bl4ck1911]

Your talking skills are really nice. I loved the references and the way you present and compare stuff. It's how it should be done. Got here randomly after seeing that Rstar tweet about new title in the works :) keep it up

[@immersim311]

Well done Mr Pro Gamer Rob the eggman.

[@InternetRob]

thank you thank you, cat lover.

[@sonnyyoung867]

Gotta love that jab thrown at Watchmojo in the intro 😂

[@RedeyeGaming]

All these mods except the first one, cleanIV, I liked. CleanIV changes the authentic too much for my taste though, I like the darker look of the original.

[@kudjaremastered3362]

Reality IV for sure

[@fifteendoves3292]

Love the videos dude! Thanks for the support as well! 👍🕊

[@ThatGuyKh1]

Reaility IV would be perfect if it didnt make nights so damn dark even on the highest brightness its still hard to see around the city for me

[@luckyfandom]

Your Voice 😍🥰😍🥰 !!! I love how you say in the video 📹🙂❤❤

[@Modern-Gladiator]

Love the vid mate just started moding and this game is my favourite since it came out

[@dfsstuff6572]

I use Sweet Autumn for GTA 4, RealityIV for TBOGT and Skyline for TLAD

[@francy0017]

How install reality IV for tbogt ?

[@dfsstuff6572]

@@francy0017 just put the files into your tbogt folder, it will work

[@totalrise1811]

Wish there was a mod where more leaves fall off of the trees and a bit more debris in the air and road for certain weathers.

[@J-Ndre]

Thanks for the tips. I went with CleanIV, and to clean up the aliasing, I enabled Nvidia DSR DL Scaling 1.78 5120x2880 in the Nvidia Control Panel, which cleaned up the image quite a bit.

[@lordsnow5845]

For me it seems like Reality IV is the best. Infact i am confused 😂..i like Sweet Autumn and Skyline as well. If only there was a way to combine the best features of each Amazing video btw...hope there'll be a Part 2 ❤️✨

[@reaverthebeaver]

5? I thought it was 4 graphics mods Still looks amazing, though but 5 mods showcase is what makes it even better. Thank you🤘🤘 Man these should’ve been brought to Playstation 4 and XBOX One this is what GTA IV was lacking: realism.

[@roach8718]

Skylines probably my favourite

[@millicentwesonga1512]

THANKS MAN YOU'RE A LIFECHANGER

[@TOMMY.VERCETTI.OFFICIAL123]

sweet autmn is the best for me which gives the orignal gta vibe and fixes jagged edges anti alising is great and colors are great for me sweet autmn is really sweet . add new content of gta 4

[@harshchauhan8635]

Reality IV 👌🏻👌🏻

[@austinrideout5375]

i enjoy your commentary. its a glorious change from the oversaturated fake entusiatic "youtube voice".

[@ANGEL-fg4hv]

There's something about the shit brown that I really like. Nostalgia maybe

[@hoodarko]

Sweet Autumn and RealityIV are the two I vibe with. Sweet Autumn keeps that original mood but cleans up that fuzzy bloom that kinda makes it irritating for me to look at, indeed does make the game quite pretty in a concrete jungle shithole kinda way. Tho the night hours are meh but seeable. I like the way RealityIV attempts to keep that grim mood via the weather patterns, always enjoyed the cloudy and rainy times of day in this anyways and now its seemingly more frequent. Early morning/late afternoon hours are a treat too. Night is just wonderful to look at but a pain to play in.

[@MasonOO90]

Reality 2.0 and visualIv are the best

[@BobTheMartin]

Hell yea! Was just thinking about this. Wanted to try some winter mods, maybe I can use some of these with it to make it even better :)

[@InternetRob]

ooh winter mods, man I plan on using the snow mod at christmas time, it's gonna be sweet. maybe upload some gameplay and I'll give it a watch!

[@catsmackaroo]

I actually tested these timecycs with the winter map mods, imo VisualIV is the best with it by far. RealityIV 2.0 comes close though

[@randomguy6576]

I Love Your Voice, So Sweet!!

[@BRONXBX]

I'm from NY and I can say back then in like 07-08 the sky was brownish at night and there's barely any stars in the sky even now lol

[@InternetRob]

hahah

[@cardsatanywhere363]

I dont understand why some people hate the filters in gta 4. I think that they are the cherry on top for the games atmosphere.

[@lucariothehorrorguy5641]

Probably because it's a bit outdated for them. While i do like to use RealityIV, The Original's atmosphere is the most fitting.

[@cardsatanywhere363]

Video idea top 10 best mods that have just come out, I believe it will draw attention as I notice there is a lot of duplicates its not your fault as there great mods and they have reason to be showed

[@Rrodfer]

i used the TBOGT Timecycle in GTA IV main game, simple and easy

[@InternetRob]

oh for real? you can come quite close to that by just turning up the saturation in the display settings if I'm not wrong lol but nah I would be curious to see a comparison of the two.

[@Rrodfer]

@@InternetRob iI discovered out of curiosity, it was a few years ago when I was playing the game files for xbox 360 (I have a jtag one) I was only messing around until I discovered that it really worked, if I had more skill I would have more EFLC stuff for the main game

[@InternetRob]

honestly, they both are amazing for different types of people. if you want bright, you go to realityiv, if you want dark you go to skyline.

[@kobejanvicente1686]

I combined VisualIV and Sweet Autumn. The sky was too bright most of the time because of VisualIV but I did like the blood effects it gave.

People at WatchMojo don't know what they are talking about. None of their top 10 list makes sense. Keep doing more videos like these. Will you make some GTA 4 mission tips videos if you can?

[@InternetRob]

lol yeah, the watchmojo comment wasn't very classy, everyone already knows they're garbage. I might make some videos about gta 4 missions but it won't likely be tips, i was thinking of doing more detail videos.

[@TigerChamp99]

@@InternetRob Keep doing what you do best. I randomly found your channel because I normally watch GTA 4 content and it's my favourite GTA game (and one of my all time favourite video game) and the first one I've actually completed (my first GTA was Vice City). I liked GTA 4 more than GTA 5 long before Crowbcat turned hating GTA into a trend. WatchMojo actually put GTA 5, VC and SA above IV, which made me very angry. They also did a top 10 NFS list and put MW2012 in number 6 when the game doesn't even deserve a spot in the top 10 (because most NFS fans don't consider it to be an NFS game).

[@TigerChamp99]

In the Crowbcat part, by saying 'GTA', I meant 'GTA 5', that was a typo and I somehow made that terrible mistake. I don't want to edit my reply for obvious reason.

[@InternetRob]

@@TigerChamp99 what obvious reasons?

Nice video rob! I really want to install those graphics mods but i'm afraid that I will not like them and I can't change it back to the original graphics...

[@InternetRob]

thanks mate. as for your fear, you could always make backups of the files the mod replaces (check the mod's folder and see what files it has in it), if something goes wrong then just use the files you've backed up and replace whatever the mod changed.
