📋 About This Mod

IMPORTANT FOR ROCKSTAR EDITOR USERS: Before taking a screenshot or recording a video, Alt+Tab out of the game and then enter back in to improve the visibility of raindrops even further - I assume this is a bug but may be helpful for improving your content. Replaces the dirt texture on cars with a raindrop texture. Disclaimer: Performance will probably take a hit using this mod, especially with the 8k version and was made mainly for use in screenshots/videos rather than actual gameplay.
