Please note: this mod does not effect timescale or speed up time - I did that in the video to demonstrate the timecycles For me, this standalone overhaul brings GTA 5 halfway to being the GTA 6 that I want to see, so I hope you enjoy my idea of Grand Theft Auto 5.5 That became tiresome however and I will be releasing all future work under this title. Until now I was purposefully splitting it into 2 mods to make it easier for users to combine with their existing mod collections. The successor to Natural Realism mods, GTA 5.5 is the sum total of all of my modding work to make the game more realistic, more fun and less buggy/crap.

The great realism overhaul
