๐Ÿ“‹ About This Mod

A mod I made around 10 years ago and released on GTA4-Mods.com and recently put a TON of work into it to make it into the mod I envisioned way back when I started writing this. Drug Wars allows you to join several gangs across Liberty City.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Drug Wars

A Total Gangโ€‘War Overhaul for GTA IV (ScriptHookDotNet)

Drug Wars transforms Liberty City into a living gang ecosystem filled with driveโ€‘bys, ambushes, drug deals, events, and nonstop street chaos.

Play as a gang member in one of the many gangs across Liberty City and survive a city where every corner can erupt into violence.

This isnโ€™t just a mod โ€” itโ€™s a full criminal simulationย built on top of GTA IV. If writing traffic tickets in LCPDFR is getting old, try this! ;D

โšก ย Core Features

Choose Your Side

Pick between one of 7 different gangs, each with unique models, identity, and street presence.

Dynamic Gang Warfare

- Random driveโ€‘bys

- Street shootouts

- Territory invasions

- Ambient gang activity that evolves around you

Note: Territory invasions mean rival gangs attack each other's turf, but territory does not change hands. Due to ScriptHook and ScriptHookDotNet limitations, the mod cannot alter ped spawn locations at runtime, so territory ownership remains static.

Drug Dealing System

- Buy/sell drugs across the city

- Rival crews hunting you

- Supplier interactions

- Get high on your own supply

- Make money!

Unscripted Chaos

Every session becomes its own story:

Cars screeching, bullets flying, crews sliding on opps, and the city reacting to your actions.

๐ŸŽฎ What to Expect

- Gangs take the fight to rival turf!

- Building a drug empire!

- Crews reacting to your choices

- Emergent gameplay only GTA IV can produce

๐Ÿ†• 3. 0 Major Update Highlights

- Now you can play as 5 different gangs in GTA IV and TBOGT:

- Jamaican Posse

- Spanish Lords (Puerto Ricans)

- McReary Family (Irish)

- F-Block (Black)

- Bulgarin Crime Syndicate (Russian)

- In TLAD, you can also play as Lost or Angels of Death.

- Playing as Johnny's character model in TLAD automatically places you into the Lost gang on first load, but Johnny is free to leave and join any gang, including rivals.

- Smoke crack! Get high! :D You and your gang can partake!

- Player can rob civilians now.

- Updated supplier airport mission for TLAD

- Organized menu and added a bunch of options.

-Alternatively, mod can save as soon as data is updated. See INI.
