I added a Mod Showroom to the forums today and it is a place where other gta modders can post their tools and mods without being censored!
Hacks, cracks, copyrighted materials (as long as credit is given to the creator) and what ever else you can think of even porn as long as it's a mod or a tool!
If you see a mod or a tool you really like that is not yours you can post it in there too, just make sure you give the original creator credit for their work by putting their info into your post!
So go register in the forums today and post some mods!
Also if any website or fan would like to host or post any of my mods on their site or any GTA site that does not have them feel free to do so! Everyone even GTAGaming.com and TheGTAPlace.com are once again allowed to have my mods on their site without fear of removal by me! You all now have official permission to host and post any of the mods that I have made on any website on the net. Plus if anyone gives you crap about you not having permission to host or post my mods just send them to this link: http://n2.nabble.com/Permission-to-host-any-Switch-Designs-mod%21-td2997091.html
All I ask in return is that you put a link to www.gtaforlife.com somewhere in the post, add the name Switch Designs as the creator of the mod and do not change the mod .zip file!
Head Grenades
GTAIV mod by Switch Designs
www.gtaforlife.com
This mod will replace your grenades with a severed human head.
Also here is a screen shot I took with the new grenades that I thought looked pretty cool

Oh yeah and if you liked this mod leave a comment and let us know what you think!
The latest patch for GTAIV 1.0.3.0 will not allow modded files to be used in online play, so untill a fix is created for this mods will no longer work with GTAIV seeing as if you have mods installed you can not update GTAIV and if you don't update you can not play online and the update will not allow mods online which means unless there is a fix for this issue that mods for GTAIV are just dead or are they?
Well if you wanna use mods for GTAIV and still be able to play online you will need to keep a fully updated and unmodded copy of the game files for playing online and a nonupdated version of the game files 1.0.2.0 or lower for playing offline with mods installed and of course a main install of the game to copy the folders over depending if you wanna play online or play offline with mods. Then grab the latest version of sparkiv from here: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=384933 and mod the files that you backed up for offline play with mods. Now when you wanna play online copy the folder with the unmodded version of the game over the main game files to play online and when you wanna play offline with mods copy the folder with the non updated modded files over the main game files to play offline with mods. Also you may want to make another backup of a non modded non edited version of the game just for plain backup reasons!
Also untill sparkiv is updated it will no longer open the GTAIV files in version 1.0.3.0 of the game, so no mods are possible right at this moment online or offline if you have the latest update from Rockstar installed 1.0.3.0. Also it seems that the gtaforums are not going to allow a fix for mods in online play in their forums so if anyone finds a way to get mods working and playable with version 1.0.3.0 of GTAIV online then contact me at switchdesigns@comcast.net and I'll post it on www.gtaforlife.com for everyone to see...
All of this also means that my nude multiplayer mod is dead in all versions of GTAIV untill a fix is created (Damnit I want my nude multiplayer back!)
EDIT: I found this post today 03/22/09 that just shows how stupid and paranoid the moderators are over at the gtaforums! They banned some poor guy because for some reason they thought he was me! http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=403856 I feel bad for gtafirestorm he was making some good points (not quite the points I would ever point out seeing as I make mods but good ones just the same!) I would also like to tell him that I'm sorry that he got banned some how because of me and to tell him that it's just because of the moderators thinking that i'm gonna come back to their forums just to fuck with them. I would also like to let gtafirestorm know that he is welcome to come register in my forums if he would like and in my forums he can say what ever the hell he wants!
Real weapon icons
GTAIV mod by Switch Designs
www.gtaforlife.com
This mod will replace the weapon icons in GTAIV with actual images of the in game models.
Site Update: Tonight I have also posted every San Andreas mod and every GTAIV mod on my own file server so you all will no longer have to go through Zshare to download my mods. It's now as simple as clicking the mod image and clicking save.
Next I'll be moving the Vice City mods to the new file server but that is gonna have to wait till my next day off!
Mark today March Friday the 13th 2009 as the day Switch Designs lost his fucking mind!
See why here: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=402506&st=40
GTA is the most fucked up game that I have ever played and I love it for just that reason but what I just don't understand is what is so wrong about nudity in a game full of murder.... Why is it ok to kill but not to fuck? Why is it ok to beat a person to death with a purple dildo like in the retail version of GTA San Andreas but seeing tits and pussy is wrong. I'm sure everyone here has seen tits and pussy somewhere in your life like on the internet or attached to a real life girl or even in a previous GTA game? I just don't get it!
Because of the nude mods I made and posted in the www.gtaforums.com and because of some of the childish and abusive moderators that look after those forums, I have since been banned from the GTA Forums FOR LIFE! So I guess I move on! At least www.gtaforlife.com is a safe place to post what ever I please seeing as I own it!
Also the moderator that banned me said something I found funny, he said nudity is natural and so is shitting but you don't see any mods that make Nico shit logs ... Well cause I was pissed and thought his point was shit I made this just for him!
By the way the Nico shits logs mod is not a real mod yet, just a proof of concept for the asshole moderator that banned me from the GTA Forums due to his shitty opinion!
And now for a different topic: Don't forget to register today in our own gtaforlife forums and maybe one day it might be worth posting in. Also don't forget in my forums you can say what you like with just one rule don't talk shit on Switch Designs or GTA For Life. I already know I'm a dick and yes my site sucks compared to the big GTA fan sites out there but just remember they started out small too and this site has only been up for like 3 months. I'm sure in time it will grow to become the monster it is ment to be!
Well I have created 3 new GTAIV mods with questionable content all inspired on my work to remove the clothing from the strippers in the game.
This first mod is an update to the nude strippers mod. There were a few complaints that you could still see flesh colored clothing on the models (which was the only way I could make them appear to be nude.) But thanks to my special .wtd file now the clothing is completely removed. This also limited the number of variations down to two types of strippers so if you still want all the different hair color variations that make the stripers look different download the first nude strippers mod found at www.gtaforlife.com and just deal with the flesh colored clothes.

This second mod will change your the female player model for online play into one of two nude female multiplayer models depending on what you choose. With the nude multiplayer mod any online player playing with a female player model will appear nude in your online game and if other players want to see you nude they must first download and install the mod.
See a great video I made using this mod here: https://tv.rockstargames.com/videos/view/id/A9E35A59A307B7DA

The 3rd mod is a naked hooker mod that will make your hookers in GTAIV naked so that they are easier to spot while driving around Liberty city.
