I think that Tank guy pic avatar doesn't know what his talking about. GTA 4 patch break most mods several times and it needs to update ( well duh, its common sense because each patch contains a different version of the exe so most mods that were only compatible to the previous version needs to have an update for the new version ...) Besides,its always recommended to use mod files and Rockstar latest patch only changed one rpf file which is update.rpf.
