#Beta Content

Some beta content makes sense to be restored rather than replaced, not going to explain every change, but there are reasons for them.

• Restored beta roof texture on Woodfellas warehouse in East Hook.
• Restored unused painting texture in Playboy X apartment (which was reused in TBoGT, but anyway).
• Restored beta Drusilla's look, it makes more sense because of these reasons:
  • Waitresses became visible.
  • Windows from interior correspond the ones from exterior.
  • Fixes double entry door.
  • Corresponds all in-game photos of this place.
• Restored beta roof texture at Brucie's garage, as well as the roofs of several buildings near this garage.
• Restored missing ads on the Algonquin - Dukes expressway near the bus depot.
• Added transparency to carwash roof windows in Purgatory.
• Restored some missing billboards in East Island City.

#Optional Content

#Pedestrian traffic lights

• PC - vanilla, non-functional traffic lights.
• PS3&X360 - fake imitation of functional traffic lights, basically it’s just a painted texture.
• Functional (done by brokensymmetry - this is how it should have worked from the start, this option may look awesome but unfortunately it has some minor bugs, but hey at least traffic lights now works properly.

#Fixed misspelled ruZZian text

• Done by request but still not finished.
• For most players this will not make a big difference, but for russian ones like me this fix may be somewhat useful.

#Billboards from Chinatown Wars by Ash_735

• It has nothing to do with fixes, but it may be considered as little improvement that the mod itself includes.
• What's this thing about is it restores some exclusive billboards from Chinatown Wars, and places them like in CTW respectively, at least that was the idea, but when it came to placing these billboards in game I had to change plans and start looking for other places where it may be suitable to add them there.
• Anyway, if you want to add a little variety to billboards in the game, then this is for you.
