It is still one of the leaders in the number of amateur modifications. These include literally everything: from simply replacing car models to changing locations and cities. Simple modifications are most often installed by replacing standard files with modified ones, but with the same names. Players can do this manually or through special modding software. A huge part of mods are unstable and untested files that can cause the game to crash or make it completely inoperable.

To bring the game back to life, you have to change the files to standard ones. Often players do not back up the game folders they are replacing, so they have to completely reinstall GTA SA. But you can download individual directories and copy them to the game folder with file replacement. For example, the standard models folder for GTA SA returns original textures, car models, characters and much more. Below you can find out more about this directory and its role in the game.

What's in the folder

First, let's look at the contents of the directory to understand how important it is for the performance of the game. If you simply delete the models folder after it has been corrupted by third party files, you will not be able to run the game. Or GTA will start, but will crash with errors at every opportunity. So, the standard models folder for GTA SA contains the following elements:

• subsections generic, coll, txd, grass;
• additional files with extensions txd, img, fxp and so on.

All of the listed elements are mandatory - without them, the game will work unstable or stop working altogether.

Where can I download

The standard models folder for GTA SA is irretrievably lost if you install modifications without creating backup copies. The original files are replaced by the modified ones, as a result of which you cannot return to the original state.

To restore the default files in the Models folder, you can do one of the following:

• Download the standard models folder for GTA San Andreas on the thematic site.
• Reinstall a “clean” version of the game and no longer use mods that may affect stability.
• Before installing modifications, create backup copies of the files that will be replaced. We recommend copying entire directories to avoid confusion in the location of files.

Let's focus on the first method. A relevant question would be where to find the full version of a particular folder for a given game. Everything is very simple. You need to find one of the popular portals for GTA SA or the entire series of games. They often contain all the necessary files that may be useful to fans of modifications. You can easily find these resources on the first pages of search engines. Make sure that the version of the game that is installed on your computer matches the one from which the standard models folder for GTA SA is presented. In some cases this may affect performance.

How to install

So, you have downloaded the standard models folder for GTA SA and want to replace with it the files that are currently in the game folder. To do this, just copy the directory and paste it into the game folder. When a window appears warning you about replacing data of the same name, you must agree.

Ready! Now all that remains is to launch San Andreas, check the success of the procedure and enjoy the gameplay!

It is no longer a secret to everyone that for the popular among players GTA San Andreas There are a large number of different mods, new cars and motorcycles, which can replace all the standard vehicles in the game with modern and original ones. Large list of new character skins, such as the standard main character skin Carl "CJ" Johnson can be replaced with a more detailed one; all other characters from the game are also subject to change. The Internet is full of mods for replacing textures in the game, ranging from HD roads to completely replacing the graphics in the game using ENB Series and much more; in general, the game can be changed beyond recognition. But there is one main problem that I am sure every player has encountered.

It lies in the fact that after installing a large number of mods, the game starts to crash with an error or does not start at all. Usually this happens due to incorrect installation of the mod or simply the author of the modification had “crooked hands”. Surely you have wondered what to do in such a situation; simply deleting the last installed file will not help. The easiest way, which is suitable for beginners, is to simply uninstall GTA San Andreas, install it and re-install the necessary modifications.

But for more experienced users, we have provided another way, we will post for you in parts the standard GTA San Andreas files, which you can download and replace, after which the game will work as new and a complete reinstallation will not be required, so let’s move on to the list of standard files.

Assembled game

If you do not want to install all the modifications listed below yourself, then this item is for you. We set everything up for you. All you have to do is download the game from Steam first, delete the folder in Steam\SteamApps\common (namely delete the folder, and not through the “delete contents” function), and unpack the archive to:\Steam\SteamApps\common

Also, the assembly can work without steam. Move the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas folder from the archive to your disk and run the gta_sa.exe file in the root folder of the game.

Since everyone has different computers and Internet speeds, you can choose one of the build versions:

1. Full assembly (all improvements specified in the manual).
. sk/d/ZLMzcbmK3A8vi3

2. Version for SAMP (script fixes + HD improvements + radio).
. sk/d/PBAsdMQ43A8bBX

3. Light version (only script fixes, no radio).
. sk/d/LhXZsVJY3A8En9

4. PS2-edition (the build is as close as possible to the PS2 version of the game, for a complete experience, set the resolution to "720x576"
. sk/d/u4YzXqkV3A9R5C

Introduction

1. The original Steam version cannot be repaired, so we will have to replace it with a pirated one. We do the following:
1.1. Download the Steam version of GTA San Andreas
1.2. We delete its folder in Steam\SteamApps\common. Exactly the folder, and not through the function
"delete contents".
1.3. Download the game from 2005 and unpack the archive into
Steam\SteamApps\common ( . sk/d/z31ZPqAv37oPX7)
Steam will also think that we are playing the original GTA San Andreas, so its in-game features (chat, browser, etc.) will remain in place.

2. After installation, your saves will stop working, but saves downloaded from the Internet will work. Therefore, as a bonus, I’ll throw in a save before the first mission, in which all the graffiti, shells, etc. are collected, the missions of the medic, the taxi driver and the rest are completed.

3. You will not get banned if you change game files. Rockstar Games doesn't care what you do with GTA San Andreas.

Localization of GTA: San Andreas 0.56 from SanLtd Team

Russifier from 1C is good, but our translators gave the characters other names (Sweet - Handsome, Big Smoke - Steam Locomotive, etc.).
SPENT RUSSIFIER into the firebox. This is already a hackneyed squalor. Yes, and here I’m describing how to put the game in order, and not turn it into even more slag.

In the installer we specify the folder with the game, due to a bug in the installer it will write Grand Theft Auto San Andreas twice. We remove the repetition and in the end let the installation come out something like this:

Installing the CLEO library

The CLEO library is a thing that will allow us to run scripts. Included - Asi Loader from Silent
Download CLEO -
We run the downloaded file, the installation path should usually be like this (d is the hard drive on which you have steam installed. This can be drive C, E, L, etc. Find the folder with steam and specify the path as in the screenshot) .

In order not to open the game archives many times using third-party utilities, you need to download ModLoader. Unpack the files and folder from the archive into the root folder of the game (where gta_sa.exe is located)

How it works. You have replacement files or a script (let's say Silentpatch files). You create a folder in the modloader folder with any name and throw your modification files into it. Done, the mod works in the game.

SilentPatch is a script that fixes most of the game's bugs. The main ones - raises the frame limiter from 25 to 30 FPS, fixes the mouse, adds resolutions to widescreen monitors.

We drag out the folder from the archive into the modloader folder in the game folder

About the frame limiter. If you disable it in the settings, then you will of course have 60 or more FPS, but the more FPS in the game, the slower the motorcycles ride, and Karl swims and runs even slower. Therefore the frame limiter must be enabled.

Fix for widescreen monitors

If you don’t like the standard pictures in the menu, which are of low quality, then throw the fronten2.txd file into Grand Theft Auto San Andreas > models, replacing the original file.

Also install loading screens that are redrawn in FullHD (the size of the original loading screens is 800x600). Place the LOADSCS file in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas > models > txd.
