Modifications

- Xbox Rain Droplets - Basic implementation of Xbox rain droplets from SkyGFX.
- Footpath & Road Mod - Changes roads, sidewalks and parking textures to be better and more realistic. Requires MafiaDataXtractor to extract
maps
folder to Mafia folder. - Mafia Community Modpack - Collection of carefully chosen graphic mods improving the game visuals, maintaining the game atmosphere.
- Mafia Retextured - Changes textures to the higher quality counterparts, remade from the scratch, but retain the atmosphere of the original ones.
- Busy Mod - More traffic, more pedestrians and therefore a more crowded city. Vehicles can now have passengers inside.
- High quality characters mod - There are two types of character models in the game. Detailed, which we see in all cutscenes and the ordinary ones that we have the opportunity to admire during normal gameplay. The modification replaces those visible during the game with those visible in cutscenes.
- Interface renovation - The modification improves the quality of fonts and the arrangement of some menu items. Polish language version of the game required (although it is possible that it also works with English) and patch 1.2
- Updated interface - Interface textures created from scratch in high quality.
