Whether you are swapping Niko Bellic for a custom skin, modifying animations, or adding new clothing, the file is the heart of these changes. However, tampering with this file without a backup is a recipe for broken game files, character glitches, or a completely unlaunchable game.

When you install a mod that changes Niko's outfit, or replaces him entirely with another character (like Tommy Vercetti or a character from Touhou Project ), you are, with few exceptions, directly modifying the contents of this file.

... Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\pc\models\cdimages\playerped.rpf

Navigate to your backup folder and copy the original playerped.rpf . Go back to: \Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\pc\models\cdimages . Paste the original file.

: If you use OpenIV , it is highly recommended to create a "mods" folder. Copy the original playerped.rpf into a matching directory inside the "mods" folder (e.g., mods/pc/models/cdimages/playerped.rpf ) and only edit that version. Restoring the Original File
