The GTA 4 Beautification Project is a small enhancement guide for Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto Episodes From Liberty City. It will significantly improve both graphics & effects, and optionally add some new content. Even though Grand Theft Auto IV & Episodes From Liberty City were not designed to be modified, it's still possible with the use of some editing tools. The graphics of the games are not bad, but they are pretty far from the graphics of GTA V. The world of GTA IV & GTA EFLC also can't compare to the incredible details of GTA V, but with this modification guide, GTA IV & GTA EFLC will come closer at least with regards to render & graphics.

Grand Theft Auto IV is the 11th GTA game, and by the time of it's release, it was by far the most serious and biggest installment. GTA IV and it's two separate expansions, The Ballad of Gay Tony & The Lost and Damned, are open-world action games, just all previous GTA games. Developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games 2008. The game takes place in Liberty City, a fictional place based on the real New York City. The story follows Niko Bellic, a former Russian war veteran, who in an attempt to escape his past, got lured to the US by his cousin. As Niko arrives at Liberty City he quickly learns that his cousin's stories about the US were not entirely true, and that he has some financial problems with some shady people.

The game is played in third-person, with the exception of one view setting when in a car that's first-person. The world is 100% open, and the player can go anywhere he/she pleases at any time. The main story line is linear, but it can be completed at any phase, and there are plenty of side-missions to make it seem like it's all in the hands of the player. GTA 4 has two expansions, The Lost and Damned & The Ballad of Gay Tony, which also takes place in Liberty City, but has different main characters. They are interconnected with the main Grand Theft Auto IV story-line, but doesn't influence it in any way.

The development of GTA IV began shortly after the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in 2004. As per tradition, the game was developed across Rockstar's many studios from around the world. Grand Theft Auto 4 is created with the same crazy stories as the previous 10 games, but for the first time introduced a more realistic and detailed style. The developers took field-trips to New York, to make the game have a feel of the real place, but still they kept the "alternate-universe" idea with all different names and logo's.
Grand Theft Auto IV was a highly anticipated title, and the game received massive praise, in particularly with regards to the story and the world design. GTA IV broke all industry sales records at the time, earning USD 310 million in its first day. The record was later broken by Grand Theft Auto V in 2013.

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned was the first episodic expansion. It follows Johnny Klebitz, the Vice President of the Alderney chapter of The Lost MC.
Grand Theft Auto IV: The Ballad of Gay Tony was the second expansion. It follows Luis Fernando Lopez, an ex-member of the Dominican drug dealers and the personal bodyguard Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince.
