While the original game runs on almost anything, the high-res textures and ENB in this mod require a dedicated GPU. If you'd like, I can help you find:
: While it doesn't change the entire map, it adds several "VIP" locations, new showrooms, and updated textures to the city streets.
While SlimThug's version is well-known, similar "VIP" mods from that year also emerged from other European modding communities, such as Lithuania and Bulgaria. How to Find and Install
: As noted by early reviewers, the mod can be demanding on older hardware, sometimes causing crashes during recording or gameplay if the PC doesn't meet the higher memory requirements. How to Find and Install the Mod
Today, you can play GTA V with official luxury cars and real hip-hop stations. But you can't cruise the Las Venturas strip in a virtual Slim Thug outfit, listening to a chopped "Boss of All Bosses" on a custom radio, with purple ENB bloom burning your retinas—unless you find this mod.

running on all Windows platforms,
from Win 7 to Win 11, 32 bit as well as 64 bit versions
without any specific requirements (see Technical Specifications)
including platform-independent Online Versions
for experiments via the Virtual Physiology server
existing so far for SimHeart and SimVessel
with beta-versions of SimMuscle and SimNeuron
SimHeart offers a virtual laboratory for recordings of heart contractions in the Langendorff set-up in response on the most relevant transmitters and drugs, including a drug laboratory for the adjustment of the appropriate solutions.
SimVessel offers a virtual laboratory for the examination of smooth muscle contractions of vessels and the intestine.
The experiments can be done with muscle stripes, placed in an organ bath to which physiologically relevant signal substances and widely used drugs can be added. Preparing the appropriate dilutions can be trained, as in SimHeart, in a drug laboratory.
The virtual “SimMuscle” laboratory contains two nerve-muscle preparations and all the apparatus that you will need for experimentation in a simplified but quite realistic form.
When entering the lab you first need to switch on all the devices (POWER buttons). Then drag one of two already prepared nerve-muscle preparations from the Petri-dish to hang it in the suspension apparatus. This includes a mechano-electrical converter transforming changes of either the muscle force or muscle length, selectable by a toggle switch, into an electric potential. You can pre-stretch the muscle hanging one or more weights in the loop at which the muscle is fixed.
Muscle contractions are induced by current pulses delivered from a stimulation apparatus to the electrodes on which the nerve is placed. Stimuli as well as muscle contractions are displayed on a dual beam storage oscilloscope, appropriately displayed with accordingly adjusted voltage amplification and time base (via the rotary switches) and zero lines. Single or double pulses as well as trains of stimuli of selectable amplitude and intervals can be applied.
The example shows muscle contractions, here changes of the muscle length, in response to different trains of voltage pulses inducing isolated twitches, incomplete and complete tetanic contractions depending on the intervals in which the pulses are applied.

SimNeuron offers virtual laboratories for voltage- and current-clamp experiments in an easy to overlook lab design
In fully licensed versions there is the possibility to select to which specific features of the program the students shall have access. This can be done in so-called pre-settings window which you can open from the labs via the SETTINGS button in the switch bank. In demo versions the pre-settings are fixed with most functions enabled.
