GTA 5.5 is a wonderful mod that has proven itself to be a true successor of the Natural Realism mods of the game. With GTA 6 still quite some time away, players are looking at various methods to still have fun in the existing title. While the online multiplayer mode of the game gets regular updates, the single-player mode is left as it is by the studio.

This is why third-party scripts like GTA 5.5 are an amazing way to further enhance the game and get new content to explore while the developers work on the upcoming title. It also offers jaw-dropping graphical enhancements and many new features that will blow your mind.

This article will focus on the mod and how you can install it on your PC to keep having fun in the game.

The GTA 5.5 mod not only overhauls the graphics and textures of the title but adds some amazing features that are not a part of the game. Below are some of the graphical enhancements that you will get after installing the mod:

  • New dust effects
  • Brighter sunlight and darker shadows
  • Heat Haze effect
  • Darker nights in the countryside
  • Denser rain effects

That said, this is not the extent of this mod, as it also adds some fresh features like better vehicle control, new gangs in the city, better AI peds, and a better traffic system that emulates real life. This is a big overhaul that will completely transform GTA 5 for you and present it in a completely new way.

Apart from this, the GTA 5.5 mod also adds police NPCs patrolling various areas of the map in vehicles. They also react better to violence and have a more realistic dispatch system, improving things. On top of that, the gangs are much more active and take over parts of the city after the sun sets.
