This Grand Theft Auto 4 Mod overhauls the main playable protagonists
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/this-grand-theft-auto-4-mod-overhauls-the-main-playable-protagonists/
Modder ‘BadassBaboon’ has released a new HD Texture Pack for Grand Theft Auto 4 that overhauls its main protagonists. In other words, this pack will improve the textures of Niko Bellic, Luis Fernando Lopez and Johnny Klebitz.
Now as you may all know, in GTA 4’s main game you assume the role of Niko Bellic. However, in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony DLCs, you control Johnny and Luis.
In order to improve the textures of these three characters, the modder used AI techniques and then tweaked them by hand for that “extra” bit of detail. This pack improves the textures for their clothes, hands, attachments, face, and hair.
