Improving GTA San Andreas with Mods

back flips and trouble Vehicles first person and a lot more mods to improve your GTA sanitor experience the concept is to improve the game without straying far away from the original style of the game I kept this mod list vanilla friendly as much as possible to get the most out of GTA San Andreas starting off with a world details now for a 2004 game GTA San Andreas still holds up in the gameplay department but in the visual Department it can't stand just like your grandma without Stills in 2024 so let's fix that project props adds in a lot of props across the map mostly noticeable in Los Santos which gives some dynamism to the game just look how delicate the scene looks with this mod installed compared to the vanilla game the props are spread across the whole map and there are some cheeky little secrets that you can find too so have fun with it Rosa project involved is a texture overhaul mod that basically improves the textures in the game ranging from vegetation building roads graffiti art vehicles and more it's a work in progress I don't expect miracles from this mod but what it does is just amazing the artist made sure that the textures stay true to the original style of the game have you ever felt that the world of GTA sanitors is Bland well worry no more now the the pets feel more lively and the world feels more Dynamic you'll see NPCs calling a cab you'll see them cleaning the streets playing basketball reading a book all in all it's a bunch of mods that'll make the world of GTA San Andreas feel more authentic and Alive another mod to complement dynamism into the game is Lively trailers it's a really well done mod and it feels as if it could have been in the game there's NPCs going by their day in their trailers and you can enter some trailers if you see the door open it's just a very sweet mod I can't mention dynamism without mentioning urbanized busy Peds and life situations mod now in my experience I've had some crashes using the urbanized mod but it's rare so I'm not complaining I previously mentioned some activities that these mods provide for the NPCs but I didn't even scratch the surface these mods in combination with some other mods will make the world of GT sanadas really feel alive hard Rin will make the NPCs use umbrellas when it's raining NPCs will attend phone calls smoke carry groceries buy from food stands PS use object mod will make the PS use objects around the world I know I'm going with a classic GT San Andreas look but you got to see this these windmills make me drool like an anime thought they're so well done that they actually look like they were always present in the game and the same story with the ferris wheel on the pi a bit different style than the original but I'll take a spinning Ferris wheel over a static one any day of the goddamn week we've talked about NPCs and their behaviors but what about their appearance well don't you worry buckos I've got the perfect do solution for your sweet nuts and it starts with the original pet VAR mod it overhauls the pets and gives them different variations so you won't see the same NP again I'm also using AI upskilled pen models to make the PEDs in GTA San Andrea as well reasonably to look at speaking of looks I've also altered the way the story characters look in the game cutscene Story characters for gameplay is here to rescue you slap on some fingers on them boys with the mobile hands mod and boom we're set enough about the NPCs and their BS what about our boy CJ well don't you worry boys and girls we're using proper player ret texture mod to bring CJ from you pick the wrong house full to damn I'm hot well that's a bit of a stretch um this is by far the most complete CJ mod yet it covers all body types tattoos clothes and everything in between you can now choose different styles of hair and facial hair at the barber with a hairstyle and beer mod all right now that that's done should we talk about Vehicles all right let's talk about Vehicles there's so much to cover firstly the the vehicles have gotten a facelift thanks to Roosa project and proper vehicle retex the texture are enhanced which is most noticeably in cars that have liveries next up is vehicle functions oh my God where do I start with this well simply put it adapts some vehicles to have some extra features rotating steering wheels round Wheels engine Rumble turn signal that can be used by the player any NPCs reverse lights keep in mind that not all cars are converted in this mod but the ones that are adapted make every vehicle special you can turn the lights on and off just like in GTA 4 and GTA 5 and turn off the engine by holding the F key just like in GT4 it's a subtle change but it's an amazing option to have reband vehicle project enables vehicles to use vehicle functions and imv hftt whatever that word is uh I'm using IM vft adapted vehicles to add in vehicles that will be adapted to vehicle functions and features entle vehicle is a entle Vehicles is a collection of mods that allow you to enter vehicle Interiors like the shamal if you want to enter your private jet the Andromeda if you want to have some cargo delivered the Tropic if you want to escape from the land the journey if you're on a journey and Nevada if you are done with life the Packer can now actually store vehicles and the ladder on the ladder truck actually works Rhino has tracks now that are animated and make the rhino look more menacing than the vanilla Rhino which just had Wheels I don't know why they went for that but I prefer the tracks than the wheels it's it's so cool it's menacing the handling is the same as vanilla but I've changed the crash physics in the game not depending on the surface the car will have a different reaction to it grass and sand will make your car slide whereas paved roads and other rigid surfaces will have a totally different effect on cars as you can see on the screen right now okay now to the more fun part you can now do proper back flips on motorbikes and bicycles which is as fun as it looks I am addicted there are some visual bugs I don't know what causes this but I'd rather have fun flipping off than to be turned off by a minor visual bug I love this mod I don't know why they didn't add this in the vanilla game but it's just magic get it get it right now on it [Music] [Music] I know you've been waiting for this so let's talk about Graphics GTA san Andre is has a very unique look to it I grew up playing this game and it has a massive Nostalgia hit for me so I don't want to ruin that by using mods that change up the look completely Sky G effect is a perfect graphical mod you need to make the game look good and keep its original style there's a lot of features that this mod brings which I'd love to mention in this video but i' rather show you more mods than to bore you with the senseless explanations just know that this is the best graphical mod that not not only improves the visuals of the game but also brings in quite a lot of features to the game it's a musthave mod I'm not even kidding like it's the best when it comes to keeping the same Vibe of the game and the OG graphics and stuff like that just get this this mod is good to complement Sky gfx I highly recommend project 2dfx these two mods are a match made in heaven project 2fx brings in its own fixes and flare to the game and these mods are a must have for me okay so let me bless you with another mod that will complete the whole package for visuals it's called improved streaming it makes a lot of Corrections to the game like lack spikes stutters blue holes in the game World my favorite feature from this mod is that it loads in all the trees so you won't get killed by an instant spawn tree model while flying your goddamn Hydra you don't know how how many times that has happened to me I hate that shiz but it's it's fixed now so be happy about that use this combo with a PS2 time cycle mod and real Skybox and you're done making the game look like magic both these mods bring a vanilla friendly magic to the game and I'm a massive fan of the real Skybox mod let the visuals speak for [Music] thems let's talk about combat weapons effects and B systems for weapons I'm using improved default Armory mod I know there's a lot of mods that improve the weapon textures but for me default Armory hits home with its vanilla weapon improvements Comet effects is the best effects mod for GTA San Andreas that I've ever seen and it sits right with the vanilla game as well I haven't changed combat in the slightest since I'm going for the vanilla Vibe of the game but what I've Chang change is the police AI now you can hide from the police using the hide from police mod and eventually get rid of your wanted level with improved intelligence 2.0 police will bring a bigger Challenge and fun to your chases more realistic reload animations will add in well uh you guessed it more realistic reload animations fear cob enables cops to notice other NPC crimes story sprinting will enable you to Sprint with two handed weapons ragd doll bullet physics will make the game so much fun like bro I can't get over it I can't stop shooting NBCS in the face or hitting them with my car it's so much fun I know I sound like a goddamn psychopath but it's so much [Music] fun now let's go through some smaller mods that are vanilla friendly and improve on the game project wind is a subtle mod but I can't play GTS aniv without it ever since I've gotten it it had a a wind Shader on the vegetation and other objects that would be affected by the wind it's beautiful first person mod do I have to say more bro this mod blows it's the most badass mod of GTA San Andreas imagine doing a driveby with a homies flying a jet shooting mofos from the comfort of your jetpack doing back flips on the bike the first person mod in combination with other mods I have mentioned and will mention make GT s is a totally different EXP experience must have that's it approved sealed do I have to say more just go get it clever trams make the trams in San Pio smart so they stop at stop lights and follow traffic rules like normal people or trams do unbreakable wending machines is a small but sweet mod to include in your modded GTA San Andreas I don't know why would you have it but it's still it's not it's a good option to have cars diver will basically divert the cars when you drive drive towards them like I don't know what else to say it's a really cool mod cool get it enterable hidden Interiors will make so that you can enter all accessible Interiors in the game regardless of where they are it's just there's a lot of them so good luck finding them all fixed vegetation is a mod that corrects and improves the original trees in GTS SES making the trunks rounder and fixes other texture for trees flying stuff will add some bugs leaves and trash flying just to bring some more Ambiance to the game GPS line mod GPS Redux mod will guide you to your target destination just like in GTA 4 and GTA V I mean there I mentioned two mods here but you can get either of those graffiti anywhere mod lets you well it says the name graffiti anywhere well done mod for you period hang out with Story characters mod is my personal choice because it's fun to hang around with sweet Rider smoke and the rest of the homies you know it's fun improve movement just improves the player movement in the game so pressing W will make CJ walk and you'll have to press shift once to jog and hold shift to Sprint it's you when you get this mod it's very subtle but it does make a difference interaction menu for you to remove accessories on the go climb ladders mod for you to climb ladders in the San Fiera airport or getting on the ships in San franisco I was about to say San Francisco San Fiero manual drive by mod feels like it was in the game at release it's such a St mod well-made mod and it's a must-have mod even for a vanilla experience period LS lit church will light up the church in Los Santos mesh smooth pack will make some roads and objects Smoother by increasing their polygon number it's still a work in progress and uh not everything is covered but the things that are it's noticeable like you can see this road right here it feels more smoother than the original one so I'll have this over anything else missing lampos fix will read about 300 lampos removed by Rockstar 3D models that ammunation will add in 3D weapon models and ammunition best of all the models are compatible with the new weapon mods you have project immerse yourself is a really lovely graphic mod for GTS andas that improves the lighting of the game map adding more illuminated locations and stores now you'll see shops at night have a light out of them and some buildings just have really lovely and sweet baked and lighting I it's such a lovely mod for nighttime gameplay must have another mod similar to project imers yourself is Project lumos it's a mod that aims to improve the nighttime lighting of GTA s andrias map proper Buck fixes is the biggest buck fix pack for GTA San Andreas and introduces over a thousand fixes but sadly it has some compatibility issues with other mods in my experience the game mostly crashes because of this mod but it is totally worth it since the crashes are few far in between real traffic fix is a mod that will change your life in GTA 7 Griz it will enhance the traffic AI in the game there's so many features with this mod heavy traffic will stay in the right lane cars will speed up when it's safe to do so and slow down on turns realistic Beach will bring the beach in Los Santos to life realistic population mod makes the world of Sandry is a believable place the city streets are packed and the countryside is calm and peaceful the traffic density depends on a time and place if you're in a big city you'll find it populated with NPCs and vehicles but in a small town you'll see very few NPCs and vehicles robbery mod allows you to Rob 24/7 stores around GTA San Andreas the bigear telescope to San Andreas increases the Fidelity of The Big Year in the desert secureity car drops money just like it does in GTA V Shoreline waves adds waves in the water which look vanilla friendly and add something minor but effective visually to the game GT4 starting engine animation just for fun cuz why not changing gear animation for CJ for shifting gears and cars is badass it is good handbrake animation is rad when you drift the car in first person mod it's just so cool parachute Landing fix fixes the landing animation of the parachute from for CJ yeah I don't know why they didn't have this in the game but but there you go now you have it the birdge update adds bird variety around the map it's a subtle mod but it adds cute birds so why not transfender fix mod lets you modify cars that can't usually be modified at the transfender so go at it change the colors and get get give them Nitro and hydraulics UFO bar lit well it just looks nice all right void radio and weapon wheel mod just improves on the gameplay feature When selecting a weapon and changing radio station it just makes my life so much easier it's so good welcome to last ventur sign looks sweet when entering Las Vegas from the desert wield attach mod pisses me off for two reason one that it makes me lose wheels and second is that why wasn't it in the vanilla game just a perfectly done mod and it must have mod for your GT San Andreas air traffic mod re-enables planes taking off and landing on airports and make airports populated Car Wash mod so you can clean up your dirty Min and vehicles it was supposed to be in the game but got scrapped before the release but this mod brings the car washes back so you can finally have squeaky clean cars cheat menu for you to cheat your way to the top it comes with a lot of options so go crazy with it enhanced particle txd is a graphical mod here's a demonstration of the responsive Chona function which varies the size of the headlight brightness with distance and time it's just it's cool it's but it it it it's really cool a faster cloth change will improve on the clothes changing mechanic in the game it'll bring GTA V like cloth changing mechanic which is faster easier and it's way better than the OG San Andreas cloth changing mechanic illuminated Vinewood sign looks like Vibes Lighthouse impairment fix will fix the lights and improve the LEDs of the light emitting from the lighthouse and the pyramid NPC tuning mod will dynamically spawn a tuned up NPC car driving on the streets original highquality Palms will add in new Palms that are adapted with the win project mod gang Rider mod is menacing and badass when you roll up with a homies in the balas territory badass lime post insects will add ambient bugs around lamposts life situation pack will add 10 situations around San andrez it'll help the game feel alive and lived in call taxi and taxi ride mod is a fun mod where you can just call a taxi again get a ride to your marked position it's fun to ride a taxi around San Andreas trust me it's fun trucks and trailers is a month that'll add trailers to trucks it's a good mod to make the traffic more Dynamic and trucks and trailers only spawn in out of the city areas in cities you'll see Tow Trucks towing cars which is beautiful basketball fix is a tiny mod that fixes basketballs disappearing from the game if you save your game at Mad Dog's house but this fixes that so there you have it GTA aner is made 10 times better with over 100 mods I'll add the mods I've missed in the installation guide this video took me months to produce to test different mods and make sure they are compatible with other mods and make sure they
