hello everyone, I was just a little bored of how plain the game looks so I decided to do a little research and bring some small mods to make the game look brighter and nicer
**i'm not playing the game that much so I thought it would be helpful to share these mods around

widescreen fix by ThirteenAG (https://libertycity.net/files/gta-vice-city/91932-gta-vc-widescreen-fix.html)
widescreen frontend (https://www.mediafire.com/file/v9p10epgppow2hm/WidescreenFrontend.rar/file) I changed the cursor to maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio
-> hq loadscreen (https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=21472) ,, hq endscreen (https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=26359) <- for widescreen fix
classic axis (https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1367-classic-axis-visual-camera-improvements-grand-theft-auto-iii-vice-city/) for being able to move the camera around the player or the vehicle, preferred customization: edit out the ini config file, set auto focus on player to 1 means that it's disabled, set press alt to walk to 0= disabled because it causes bugs normally for me
road reflection (https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=22398) set forcereflection to 1 and reflectionstrength to 0.75 in ini file
