GTA:IV & EFLC - Definitive Edition PS3 Mod by SuleMareVientu

DOWNLOAD: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/k08ar4i1n3ntu/GTA_IV_%26_EFLC_-_Definitive_Edition_PS3_Mod_by_SuleMareVientu

Installation INSTRUCTIONS (DON'T USE THE MOD ONLINE):
Install the desired PKGs with/out add-ons (I suggest to install only the roads one), disable the "Noise" option in the "Display" section of the pause menu and change the Brightness slider to -1 (from the middle), the Contrast slider to -1 and the Saturation slider to -2.
TLAD and TBoGT need to be DLCs for the base game (and not the stand-alone version).
Only compatible with Title ID: NPEB00882 (PSN Europe). If you do not have the right Title ID you can download the right version or convert your existing version accordingly.
