Mafia II. In many's opinions, it's the pinnacle of story telling, and holds a sacred place in the hearts of many. No matter how timeless the story is, the graphics on the other hand, are not. This mod aims to fix that. This mod retextures many of the games textures to not only have an improved stylistic look, but to also be of higher resolution and quality than that of the original. This mod started off in late 2016, in an attempt to make 'Empire Bay HQ' and 'Beta Textures' compatible. Since then it's sprouted in to it's own unique mod, with it's own unique textures. Now get out there, explore a new Empire Bay, and enjoy the world in a new, HD, light.

Disclaimer and preface to the mod. This mod started out over a year and a half ago, as an effort to merge and improve upon the mods 'Empire Bay HQ' and 'Beta Textures'. I have contacted the authors of both mods numerous times, without a response, and their online activity seems to be nonexistent. I waited quite some time before posting this to the Nexus, as I don't have the intention of stealing peoples work, I simply wanted to make both mods compatible and improve
