Introduction


Hello and welcome to the Beginner's Guide to Modding San Andreas. This is a series of videos which covers everything you need to know about modding San Andreas.

There's several misleading videos out there which are using extremely outdated methods to install mods, which can break your game or simply make modding less enjoyable. This series will show you how to downgrade your game, how to install an ASI Loader, Modloader, HD Textures and more, the correct way.

Let's get started!

NOTES/UPDATES

NOTES/UPDATES:
-The EXE's are already large address aware, so they can use up to 4GB of ram instead of the default 2GB.
-Downgrading will make your current save files incompatible if you had any with a newer version of the game.
-If for whatever reason Steam tries to update your game, it'll likely break something if it makes any progress. If that happens, it's probably best to just uninstall and start over.

Part #1 – Downgrading, ASI Loader, Modloader & CLEO

Part #2 – SilentPatch, Widescreen Fix & Open Limit Adjuster

Part #3 – HD Textures & Improved Draw Distance
