The Definitive Edition is a mess that needs tidying

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionlaunched last week, and so far it’s been a pretty messy affair. And I don’t mean the wholeremoving it from sale fiasco, I mean the game itself is a mess. But fortunately, modders have stepped in, making improvements to the game’s rain, fixing typos, adding in lots of nice graphics options and more. One modder has even fixed the nut on the Tuff Nut Donuts sign, which, for some baffling reason, had been rounded out.
I want to talk about that one first, specifically, because it’s hilarious. The developers smoothed out the nut. Why did they smooth out the nut? Have they never seen a nut? Were they in such a rush that they did not realise the round thing they were making too round was, in fact, a nut?

It seems like this was an accident, albeit one that you’d think someone would’ve noticed internally. “Irastris” on NexusMods has us covered though,restoring it to actual nut shape(they’ve changed it to an octagonal nut rather than the original hexagonal one, however).
A modder calling themselves “Grove Street Games” hasedited a bunch of typos at a Chinatown deliin GTA 3. On the front window, the Def Ed version misspells “soups” as “sops”, amongst other typos for words that were spelled just fine in the original.

To make the games feel more like the originals, “OussaMax” has made a mod namedMake Los Santos Great Again. It’s designed to help “mimic the look and feel” of the old San Andreas, adding fog, colour grading, and a handful of grading presets that let you put a warm wash of colour over the whole thing. There’s also a mod thatrestores Vice City’s radar, plus mods thatuse GTA 3’sandVice City’s old icons.
For a few extras, you could check outNo Outlines, which removes the thick white outlines from pedestrians when you target them, or theBetter Busted Screenfor GTA 3. If you want some fun visuals, you could change your graphics to be more cartoon-y with this modthat makes the trilogy look a bit like a Telltale game.
