In fact, a lot of CLEO scripts are used to alter game memory, however ASI plugins are USUALLY preferred when doing more complex stuff. - CLEO 4 has been updated to CLEO 5, however CLEO 5 is still in early access. So for now, I've changed the link to the latest version of CLEO 4. Simply click on "assets" and then "CLEO4.zip" on the Github page to download CLEO 4. - At 33:26 - I recommend changing streaming memory to 512MB. Unfortunately this seems to be too low for some people, so my new recommendation is 1024MB (1GB). ----- Enjoy GTA modding videos?

@@BygoneT Sorry I should've specified in the video. It doesn't really matter, when Ultimate ASI Loader gets an update, it's usually just for additional game support as far as I know. Just download whatever the latest version is and forget about it once installed.
@@TJGM Hm, ok, just as a note I followed every other step perfectly, the only difference being I used the 5.0 version now available and the rest of the mods simply didn't work. I could do a quick test by replacing only the asi loader tomorrow and let you know how it goes, I'm out of juice for the day 🤣, It took me a while to figure put the problem and it made my stream a bit problematic, but the guide itself is so good even my 12 year old self couldn't have misunderstood. Love the work you put in, I even joined the discord. The attention to detail and explanation, even showing the page as you download is what sells it to a noob like me. Thank you again.
I cannot praise you enough for this. I've been trying for literally months to mod the RGL version and up until now, I straight up just assumed it wasn't compatible with mods. Saying you've helped a ton is a huge understatement. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
A thing which a lot of tutorials miss and I'm really happy you show is you actually showing what to click for downloads rather than just saying "download this from the link." Helps to make sure you download the correct file while also avoiding malware. Thanks man!!
Great work with this mate. I'm glad that even with Definitive Edition out there is someone equipping others with the knowledge to experience the hard work modders have done over the years firsthand,
i thank you alot, it took some time to downgrade everything just so its playable, was scared shitless thinking i might make the wrong move just so i had to reinstall everything & never touch the game files again, alot of youtubers like you really deserve recognition when it comes to non rushed video guides. thx for fixing my game :)
Been thinking of doing this I have the rockstar copy I have a high end pc scared to download all this stuff due to malware etc. The game is unplayable I loose mouse control 💀
Thank you for this entire guide. I never got around to modding any of the older GTA titles, there's surprisingly quite a lot you need to know beforehand! Thanks again!
what a dedicated man to a community. i always wanted to have a moded verison of gta sa, when i was 8YO my friend helped me set up all cleo mods but now me 19YO and just getting in moding a game that started it all for me. just downloaded all the mods/scripts and now waiting for the OG 1.0HOODLUM (which i neven knew it existed with the name hoodlum)to install. it is still fascinating to see how they managed to make such a mage run in PS2, when is1 games were literally pixeles
You're a certified grove street families member for these videos... I used to use the old program that would do everything automatically for you, but since that service shut down, and i've gotten a new computer this is perfect, and i have a deeper understanding now!
Best modding guide so far, not many "san andreas" modders know about limit adjuster, etc. and they never tell me how to downgrade except you! Thank you, you saved me from the treachoreas hell of modding in GTA San Andreas lol.
holy moly there is so much more than modding, very educative, thanks a lot! same thing goes for other videos, covering and explaining small details such as light or textures etc., I am glad that I found your channel!
I'm using this guide to remake my downgraded San Andreas that stopped working recently. Good news is my saves from the old downgrade work on the new one!!
Holy shit this is in depth! Very impressive TJGM, keep up the good work, man. I'm sorry to ask this as I don't want you to experience any further stress from making videos but is it a possibility you'll make an ultimate modding guide for all GTA games? If so, please take your time your mental health is more important than further satisfying impatient viewers.
Thank you! The next episode will be the longest and will include a deep dive into Modloader and all of the games file types. I've been thinking about more guides. I think I'll do III/VC in the future, kinda similar to this, but not as in-depth. The SA guide can be used as a base and people can watch this first as it is the most complicated, then work down to the III/VC guides. As for IV/V, I'm not too sure. IV is getting some exciting new mods in the future though and it will change how we install mods in that game, so I might cover that with a guide.
@@TJGM I'd love a guide for GTA IV/V as I've always found installing mods for the RAGE games to be particularly way more difficult than the Renderware games. Edit 2024: This comment aged extremely well.
okay, I comment here too: you are an unsung hero :) We cannot thank you enough for putting this series together; a lot of work for the love of this gem, god bless you! I myslef never modded SA because it was way too complicated and the game by itlsef is still the best game ever, but with your help I can finally do it. Also: I checked the torrent site we have in my country since like 2004 (edit:2005) and still today the number one downloaded game is SA, of course :) and a personal anecdote: when SA came out and my friend gave it to me to try I was like "meh" while installing because I thought new games at that time were improving so much and thought this will be just an average game for some unknown reason. Well, biggest and best surprise in my life. I cannot wait to get this working hopefully tomorrow, and I am excited like a child again :D thank you so much again!
These videos are extremely helpful, easy to follow and explains all the details to the bare-bones. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make these and share them Liked and subscribed! ❤
bro i cant tell you how happy i am because you showed how to do large adress it was so hard but thank you now i can actually use rosa and multiple mods with gta v graphics without it crashing or loosing textures!
I couldn't find a way to play with quality, but you've been doing an excellent job, thank you very much for all the attention dedicated to helping others, and still being very informative, in addition to the tutorial it's a great lesson, thank you very much and a big hug from Brazil.
Man you are living legend everything explained to little details i came back to gta sa and wanted to have fun with modes thanks for all explainations ☺
I love you man I had the problem of the video streaming because I downloaded so many mods didn’t knew what to do but than saw your video I decided let’s give it a try watched the all video did everything and than in the end it paid off now I learn so many things and fixed this problem
Appreciate this series. Ive been wanting to mod GTA SA since i was a kid and seen fast and furious cars and all kind of things in the pc modded version of the game. Very simple and not overwhelming guide.
New Sub!! So excited to play this game with graphic mods after that horrendous experience with the "Definitive" edition. Thanks so much for this guide! Also, quick question, do these guides cover how to set up a controller?
Thank you! This guide doesn't cover controller support because people ALWAYS mess up their controllers with third party software and not everyone has a controller to follow along. If you follow this guide completely, at the end search for a mod called GInput. This adds full controller support to the game, install it the way the mod tells you too. :)
A lot has changed since I played SA-MP in 2009-12. As I used a pirated copy at that time I never had any issue with the mouse or other glitches with downgrading to 1.0. Maybe the cracked version was fixed in some way or another.
Thanks for the tutorial, as of right now im simply replaying gta sa and all i wanted was the essential fixes for the rockstar launcher, but if i ever feel like getting more in depth with mods ill watch the other guides. 👍
32:26 That's how gta sa looked with the disc scratched up on ps2 in my childhood💀. Like the world stop loading and the textures looked all funky like that lol.
thank you soo much ! , you've really helped me for modding my childhood video game, even though my english are lacking but your guide are very understandable, i send my regards from indonesia 😊
One thing I'd recommend doing is adding your unmodded game to a 7zip folder, so you always have a clean unmodded version of the game and you never get confused as to which one is which, but always make sure you've downgraded your game to v1.0 first. Also, just a little tip, the latest version of CLEO doesn't work for San Andreas, I tried using CLEO 5, and it didn't work for me at all, so just stick with CLEO v4.4.4 for San Andreas, hope this helps. Edit: I might be wrong on this, but I think the reason why San Andreas doesn't have proper widescreen support natively, is probably because it was designed to be played in 4:3, hence the HUD being stretched at 16:9 resolutions, this is just my opinion, but it would make a lot of sense.
I was about to start complaining about the asi loader not functioning till I reinstalled it, turns out my copy of the game (pirated) replaced the modded vorbisFile with the one from 2003, requiring me to reinstall it. When I did all of the essential mods you've recommended began functioning. Thanks for such an informative video!
Man I hope u can help me out but I keep getting error at the installing modloader sector for some reason i keep getting error and it wont create those two files i'm stuck does it have to do with the permission? thanks regards
I ran into this and had to reinstall a few times. Ultimately, I learned I had a version 1.01 that was not the Hoodlum 1.0 version you need to get it to work with mods. If you check TJGM's channel he has a way to downgrade the DVD version to 1.00 that worked with my copy. I did that and then those two modloader files wrote themselves to the proper folder and I got back on track. Hopefully that helps! And thank you so much for this guide TJGM :D
I've followed this guide to mod the game and make it look like the ps2 version with a lot of extra fixes and features, and I'm very thankful, so thank you very much for your videos. It would be nice if you make a video about the Ginput mod, I've installed it, but I haven't been able to play with my PS4 controller, it just doesn't recognize it. Another issue I've had from the beginning is that I can't see the intro videos whenever I launch the game, I don't know why. Do you (or anyone else reading this comment) have any idea? I can't listen to the soundtrack, but the screen is black, and it barely shows the Nvidia logo. I have the game installed in a Nitro 5 laptop with Windows 11.
Thanks for the great guide! If people are having trouble with ASI Loader "Unable to load CLEO.asi Error:5", I wold recommend downloading and using Cleo 4.4 and not v5 since its still in alpha and its having some problems. Also CLEO 5 is getting detected as a Trojan Virus by Kaspersky and others.
Hello brother, I have a little issue with the Modloader. I am doing exactly as you are explain in the video, however when I start the game, the files that supposed to appear doesn't. I gave all the permissions to the folder of the game, to the Modloader folder but still without appear me the files that I need. What should I do? Did I skip a step? Thank you bro.
After installing and adding all essential mods the game was running fine..... Next day it shows an error "cannot find 1536x864x32 video mode" So i search and got suggested to overide dpi in the properties of gta_sa.exe.... And it worked, will this setting be fine for modding?
Great video. I've followed this to the letter, and watched video 4 to install ambient sounds... It doesn't seem to work. :( I'm using the Steam version. Any advice? The game loads normally but the ambient sounds does not work. Thanks!
hey! It worked on CRACKED VERSION too. I was doing this on a cracked version because there was no official way to get this. But when I downloaded this version I made sure that all the cut scenes are working and there is audio in it etc. My only problem was mouse not working but I got other fixes too. Thanks man I will do other things later
What do you think of just Gesha's faithful San Andreas Overhaul using mods? I got 100% while using all of the mods from his list, and it was honestly an amazing experience
Its been a minute since you've uploaded, but I'm having trouble installing widescreen fix and silent patch into their respective "Widescreen Fix" and "SilentPatch" folders. when installed into folders in "modloader", the game doesn't start, and when installed onto "scripts", the game doesn't detect the mods. any advice/help? I'm on a steamdeck but I've followed all your instructions, save for downgrading version 1.01 to work when playing in gaming mode.
A TIP: Newer CLEO didn't work, so I tried a older version of CLEO and despite it says outdated CLEO library, it worked anyway, while newer crashed after intro.
hmmm, open limit adjuster... this might affect dyom's limitations, i figured out that adding 10-20 large objects can crash the game depending on where your character is currently placed, limit adjust should fix the crashes, only problem is other people have to install it when they play my missions
16:49 the rar file for the latest version (3.7) from GTA garage doesnt open. It seems the file is corrupted when downloading it. I tried downloading it multiple times as well as downloading it from Nexus mods too. the rar file of the 3.7 version does not open.
TJGM unfortunately I think now in 2024 modding on your tutorial I think is no longer working. Any chance you can provide a updated 2024 video? I tried each and every step no success I'm stuck on 1.0 with cleo only vanilla looking
@TJGM Well thanks for getting back! I can't find files for the parts I mentioned. I tell you this isn't as hard I felt from tutorial yet I found it hard, files you showed to download now don't exist to download. I'm also stuck getting a improvement to the San box world to even work on Direct 3.0 I loaded In my man cj was a ghost city and sand box were all gltiched out I ended up setting the whole aside so hopefully you can lead me to the working fix I'll join your discord for sure!
Hmm, for some reason, when I instal this latest Silent Patch, the game is just refusing to open, but when I have an older version, it loads just fine...
For some reason, capping to 30 fps with the Open Limit Adjuster doesn't work for me. Doesn't matter what setting I use in the game whether I turn on or off the fps limit in the menu. With the setting on it does work much better, but cars still act funny and some bugs do appear. It seems like it caps it at 60 fps instead. Do you know what can cause it? Other than that everything else works great! Thank you in advance. :)
Amazing video! You are teaching things that I never knew my whole life lol Anyways, I have a little question. The mods that we're installing here, are they compatible with San Andreas Multiplayer?
Sir, i used cleo version 5 first time. after quitting the game it gives a black screen with a written version at the bottom left corner. "cleo v5" and after that i had to start from the beginning again and installed version 4.
Bro can you teach us how to fix incompatiblity issues between mods and make it compatible with each other (not .asi, .cs mods) please? For example, there are a handful of popular mods that do not go well together with the massive map fix mod called Proper Fixes and make the game crash while trying to start a save file or trying to start a new game. Like Map Shadows, Real Skybox. This is when there will be a feeling that these series are complete
@@TJGM I understand this might be considered reworking mods, but I think many players would appreciate learning how to make incompatible mods work together, especially if they complement each other. If explaining this is too complex, could you please share links to sources that explain why some mods are incompatible and how players can rework them to make them compatible?
Thank you! I played the gta sa definitive edition but I found it awfull. So I was searching for the classic version because with the mods it became really fun to play. So much memories and Finally I found your videos.
Man, thank you so much. I wanted to do another playthrough but it was abismal playing on the german Steam version. No idea how i was able to play it like that back then haha Quick question tho, is it possible to run the game in borderless window mode now?

Man I hope u can help me out but I keep getting error at the installing modloader sector for some reason i keep getting error and it wont create those two files i'm stuck does it have to do with the permission? thanks regards
I ran into this and had to reinstall a few times. Ultimately, I learned I had a version 1.01 that was not the Hoodlum 1.0 version you need to get it to work with mods.
If you check TJGM's channel he has a way to downgrade the DVD version to 1.00 that worked with my copy. I did that and then those two modloader files wrote themselves to the proper folder and I got back on track.
Hopefully that helps! And thank you so much for this guide TJGM :D
I've followed this guide to mod the game and make it look like the ps2 version with a lot of extra fixes and features, and I'm very thankful, so thank you very much for your videos. It would be nice if you make a video about the Ginput mod, I've installed it, but I haven't been able to play with my PS4 controller, it just doesn't recognize it. Another issue I've had from the beginning is that I can't see the intro videos whenever I launch the game, I don't know why. Do you (or anyone else reading this comment) have any idea? I can't listen to the soundtrack, but the screen is black, and it barely shows the Nvidia logo. I have the game installed in a Nitro 5 laptop with Windows 11.
this man dservers so many more subs im half drunk and able to follow this guide perfectly without a single fuck up and i rarely hav to rewind
Thankyou soo much bro this video was really very helpful
Thanks for the great guide!
If people are having trouble with ASI Loader "Unable to load CLEO.asi Error:5", I wold recommend downloading and using Cleo 4.4 and not v5 since its still in alpha and its having some problems. Also CLEO 5 is getting detected as a Trojan Virus by Kaspersky and others.

Hello brother, I have a little issue with the Modloader. I am doing exactly as you are explain in the video, however when I start the game, the files that supposed to appear doesn't. I gave all the permissions to the folder of the game, to the Modloader folder but still without appear me the files that I need. What should I do? Did I skip a step? Thank you bro.
Same
You have pirated copy of gta sa if you want to know how to fix it reply me

27:19 what text editor are you using here? it looks nice.

Tnx bro I really need this videos it's help me a lot ❤
After installing and adding all essential mods the game was running fine.....
Next day it shows an error
"cannot find 1536x864x32 video mode"
So i search and got suggested to overide dpi in the properties of gta_sa.exe....
And it worked, will this setting be fine for modding?
Awesome tutorials, It makes me want to mod GTA SA again!
Great video. I've followed this to the letter, and watched video 4 to install ambient sounds... It doesn't seem to work. :( I'm using the Steam version. Any advice? The game loads normally but the ambient sounds does not work. Thanks!
hey! It worked on CRACKED VERSION too. I was doing this on a cracked version because there was no official way to get this. But when I downloaded this version I made sure that all the cut scenes are working and there is audio in it etc. My only problem was mouse not working but I got other fixes too. Thanks man I will do other things later
What do you think of just Gesha's faithful San Andreas Overhaul using mods? I got 100% while using all of the mods from his list, and it was honestly an amazing experience
Its been a minute since you've uploaded, but I'm having trouble installing widescreen fix and silent patch into their respective "Widescreen Fix" and "SilentPatch" folders. when installed into folders in "modloader", the game doesn't start, and when installed onto "scripts", the game doesn't detect the mods. any advice/help? I'm on a steamdeck but I've followed all your instructions, save for downgrading version 1.01 to work when playing in gaming mode.
A TIP: Newer CLEO didn't work, so I tried a older version of CLEO and despite it says outdated CLEO library, it worked anyway, while newer crashed after intro.
hmmm, open limit adjuster... this might affect dyom's limitations, i figured out that adding 10-20 large objects can crash the game depending on where your character is currently placed, limit adjust should fix the crashes, only problem is other people have to install it when they play my missions
@17:36 my game won’t open when I try to open it. Do you know maybe why?
16:49 the rar file for the latest version (3.7) from GTA garage doesnt open. It seems the file is corrupted when downloading it.
I tried downloading it multiple times as well as downloading it from Nexus mods too.
the rar file of the 3.7 version does not open.
TJGM unfortunately I think now in 2024 modding on your tutorial I think is no longer working. Any chance you can provide a updated 2024 video? I tried each and every step no success I'm stuck on 1.0 with cleo only vanilla looking
@@McluvinIVreal It works. Join my Discord and share screenshots of your game folder.
@TJGM Well thanks for getting back! I can't find files for the parts I mentioned. I tell you this isn't as hard I felt from tutorial yet I found it hard, files you showed to download now don't exist to download. I'm also stuck getting a improvement to the San box world to even work on Direct 3.0 I loaded In my man cj was a ghost city and sand box were all gltiched out I ended up setting the whole aside so hopefully you can lead me to the working fix I'll join your discord for sure!
I keep trying to get help in your discord my post keeps getting deleted I'm feeling like I'll not likely ever get san Andreas working on pc
Why you no longer recommend installing the GTA essentials mod package?
I never did recommend it?
@TJGM is the essentials mod package redundant nowadays? I'm starting over with modding GTA SA. Catsmackaroo's modding guide recommended it in the past
thank u thank uuu so muich man!
Hmm, for some reason, when I instal this latest Silent Patch, the game is just refusing to open, but when I have an older version, it loads just fine...
What version worked for you? I tried Ultimate ASI Loader the game won't even start for me
Thanx man it really helped me
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 love you 😘😘😘
The Modloader link is not working says error. ? can i jump to the next step or do i need to download first before continuing on to the next?
I got the same something about my IP
Did you skip the step and did it work?
@@LiamIsaGhost7 no i just stopped there, i msg him on discord see if he replies today.
@ use your data it could be your wifi
My friend helped me and I used my phone data and it let me use the site
Hopefully this helped
@@LiamIsaGhost7 thanks ima give that a try.
For some reason, capping to 30 fps with the Open Limit Adjuster doesn't work for me. Doesn't matter what setting I use in the game whether I turn on or off the fps limit in the menu. With the setting on it does work much better, but cars still act funny and some bugs do appear. It seems like it caps it at 60 fps instead. Do you know what can cause it? Other than that everything else works great! Thank you in advance. :)
This video is so helpful thank you 🙏
Thanks man I love you
No problem ❤
Im having an issus where when i close the game it refuses to close fully and when i open task manager it stays behind the game, what do i do😭
So is the game starting allowing you to play at all or crashing at Launch ect?
Amazing video! You are teaching things that I never knew my whole life lol
Anyways, I have a little question. The mods that we're installing here, are they compatible with San Andreas Multiplayer?
what trainer is that? 24:50
Right after putting mod loader and start gta itnsaid mod loader is not supported
After opening gta a new game itjust crashed 17:33
Sir, i used cleo version 5 first time. after quitting the game it gives a black screen with a written version at the bottom left corner. "cleo v5" and after that i had to start from the beginning again and installed version 4.
Bro can you teach us how to fix incompatiblity issues between mods and make it compatible with each other (not .asi, .cs mods) please? For example, there are a handful of popular mods that do not go well together with the massive map fix mod called Proper Fixes and make the game crash while trying to start a save file or trying to start a new game. Like Map Shadows, Real Skybox. This is when there will be a feeling that these series are complete
That's not how it works. Some mods just aren't compatible, and reworking them is basically making the mod again.
@@TJGM I understand this might be considered reworking mods, but I think many players would appreciate learning how to make incompatible mods work together, especially if they complement each other. If explaining this is too complex, could you please share links to sources that explain why some mods are incompatible and how players can rework them to make them compatible?
game isnt launching from the 1.0 - version or 1.0 _ version help me out please 🙏🙏
Thank you! I played the gta sa definitive edition but I found it awfull. So I was searching for the classic version because with the mods it became really fun to play. So much memories and Finally I found your videos.
Man, thank you so much. I wanted to do another playthrough but it was abismal playing on the german Steam version. No idea how i was able to play it like that back then haha
Quick question tho, is it possible to run the game in borderless window mode now?
Dang, from what i've seen this is pretty similar to modding GTA 4, gonna find modding this game easy

Damn Alucard I didnt know you were a gamer... Makes sense you wanted the widescreen fix for that hd tv of yours!
