How to Install Building Mods in Vice City

"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" is the fourth game in the "Grand Theft Auto" series, a set of single-player simulation games. Its role is to provide a simulation of a real city and give you total freedom to roam around that city, causing havoc or completing missions. Even though the game is realistic, you can make it even more real by modifying its buildings to resemble real-life buildings or by adding new ones. Various building packs or individual buildings are available on specialized gaming sites.
