I noticed the map add ons seem to use the same area making it impossible to run the game with more thsn one installed. Are there any that can be run at the same time?

I am on my phone and noticed I posted this in the wrong forum. I am sorry

Using the usual mod noitce even though you're aware because it helps others to post in the correct forum:

I believe most map mods use the same area, but even if you did find one that didn't, it probably would affect the game's stability and performance to run both at once.

Thats a bummer. I was hoping to change things up by installing a few of them. I guess I could always learn how to make maps and do one with s lot of different environments.

Theoretically its possible that they could work together, but it's unlikely. What you could do though if you wanted a variety of maps is to copy your GTA IV folder and install different map mods in the copies (this would take up a lot of hard drive space though).

Thats not a bad idea but still would not allow the maps to all be displayed during the same session. It would help in the area of modifying files just to play the different maps. My game drive is 1tb so I should have plenty of space. I wander how difficult it would be though to just make a whole new map utilizing the water around the city. Perhaps a map that will give the user 20 times the ares of LC to play in. Are there any borders in the water or is the sky the limit? Maybe I need to go for a helicopter ride when I get home and see.

I have a very rudimentary knowledge of gta IV map modding, so I wouldn't be able to help you much, but you could try using this in conjuction with openIV and zmodeler to edit the map and map objects.
