Gamers who have already purchased iOS or Android versions of the recently released Grand Theft Auto III on to tablets might be pleased to learn that PC mods already created for GTA III can be used on the tablet versions.
The Grand Theft Auto port to tablet is almost exactly the same as the PC version, and once you gain access to its file structure, you can then use the created PC mods to enhance your tablet iOS and Android GTA III games. Watch the video after the jump to see them in action.
Accessing File Structures on Android and iOS
To access the file structures on an Android tablet, all you need to do is navigate to the Android/Data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3 directory. This process is relatively straightforward and can be done using any file manager app available on the Google Play Store. If you have an iOS version, as you would expect, the process is a little more tricky to access the file structures. For iOS devices, you will need to use a third-party application like iExplorer or iFunBox to access the internal files of the game. This requires connecting your iOS device to a computer and navigating through the app’s directories.
Installing and Using Mods
Once you have access to the file structure, installing mods is a matter of copying the mod files into the appropriate directories. For example, if you want to install new car models or textures, you would place these files in the ‘models’ or ‘textures’ folders within the GTA3 directory. It’s important to back up the original files before replacing them with modded versions to avoid any potential issues.
The modding community has created a wide variety of mods for GTA III, ranging from simple texture enhancements to complete overhauls of the game’s environment and mechanics. For instance, you can find mods that introduce new vehicles, improve the game’s graphics, or even add new missions and storylines. These mods can significantly enhance your gaming experience, making the game feel fresh and exciting even if you’ve played it before.
The ability to use PC mods on the tablet versions of Grand Theft Auto III opens up a world of possibilities for gamers. Whether you’re looking to enhance the game’s visuals, add new content, or simply experiment with different gameplay mechanics, the modding community has something to offer. Just remember to proceed with caution and always back up your original files before making any modifications.
