Despite the lack of proper tools, the Grand Theft Auto series is so popular that it always attracted a huge community of modders.
With GTA IV, iCEnhancer quickly became the most popular graphics enhancement mod, thanks to a combination of effects and lighting/color tweaks injected into the game.
Martin Bergman, a big fan of iCEnhancer, is now working on a similar GTAV mod, called Toddyhancer (unsurprisingly, since his Reddit username is ToddyFTW). According to him, it's just "Reshade Shaders, ENB series, simple tweaks and some tonemapping with class".
Check out the following work in progress footage and screenshots (which are from an older build, though) to see how realistic looking the game becomes with this specific GTAV mod.
Bergman also posted a brief FAQ on his Facebook page that answers common questions about his upcoming mod.
When will the mods be released?
- I will release a test when I feel ready.

Can I be a tester?
