: Unlike the "Hidden Interiors Universe" in GTA: San Andreas, which often required teleportation to areas high in the sky, this mod aims to make interiors part of the actual city map. Tactical Gameplay
A standard playthrough only sees individual rooms. Using mods, no-clip, or memory editing reveals: Gta 3 Extended Interiors Universe
One of the most striking examples of the Extended Interiors Universe’s impact is found in the Sweeney General Hospital in Portland.

Walking through these empty halls gives a eerie sense of what Liberty City could have been.
