Well, first it depends on the version of your game. Up to date steam version is always 1.0.7.0, so you
must look for mods under that version. Second. you need to install the following; ASI Loader, Scripthook
and .NET Scripthook. Also, patch 1.0.4.0 is the best version for mods.

ASI Loader - http://dev-c.com/gtaiv/asiloader

Scripthook/.Net SH - http://www.hazardx.com/dl.php?file=83&fileversion=13&did=4cef5b5e (For 1.0.7.0.)

Script/Player/Skin/Vehicle/Other - http://www.gta4-mods.com/

Open IV - http://openiv.com/

NOTE: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR GTA IV FOLDER BEFORE YOU MODIFY ANY GAME
FILES!

Step 1: Make a new folder under the following line; C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft
Auto IV.

Step 2: Make sure you ran the game at least once. Download the files from the above links.

Step 3: Extract the contents of the zip above in to their own sepreate folders on the desktop. Now go to
the this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV.

Step 4: Press Ctrl + A and copy and paste all the files in the folder to the new one you made on step 1.

Step 5: open up the scripthook folder, drag and drop the files into the folder from step 1. (same with
asiloader)

You should now have the following : dsound.dll, scripts folder, scripthook.dll and scripthooknet.asi. along
with the gta iv files.

First, lets make sure your game works. go to the folder on step 1, look for LaunchGTAIV.exe (right click)
make shortcut (send to desktop) Right click on shortcut (run as administrator)
If the game launches, you're in the clear. if you get an error, Retry the steps above.

Now, time to install some mods! for script mods. Place the files in the scripts folder, (make sure you read
and follow what the readme(s) tell you to do.) For vehicle/player/weapon/other skins. you need to
download OPEN IV. Here is a tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUIlbwBkM3M Tell me if this
helped you or not.
