https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/gta-underground-combines-the-maps-of-gta-iii-vice-city-san-andreas-manhunt-bully/
Modder ‘dkluin’ has released a brand new version of the GTA Underground mod. In case you weren’t aware of, GTA Underground combines the San Andreas, Liberty City, Vice City, Manhunt I/II, Bullworth, and custom maps into one big map.
Version 4.1.7 comes with a grand new installer. The mod now supports 11 languages, including Spanish, Franch, Russian, Dutch, German and more.
Furthermore, this new version packs a number of stability and performance tweaks. Additionally, it fixes various crash fixes. For instance, it fixes a radar legend crash. It also fixes numerous UG-MP synchronization problems, such as vehicle colours not persisting after installing them in a mod shop and not being able to roll up windows again after rolling them down earlier (all vehicles will appear to have no windows).
Moreover, Version 4.1.7 packs numerous map improvements. For example, it fixes collisions in Vice City and restores water in missing spots. It also updates the radar map.
>> You only need to own San Andreas to use this mod, that you can download from ModDB.

There are a lot of maps in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. But most of them aren't Nuke—and if you really, really like Nuke, that could be a problem. Thankfully, one mapper has been giving some of CS:GO's most iconic maps a Nuke-themed makeover, reimagining Cache, Office and Mirage as sterile nuclear power plants.
>> You'll find them at Steam's Workshop.

>> There are many more mods listed in the article.
