I've made a complete run with these mods. Took me almost 30 hours to complete the story and I can confirm that the game runs stable using these mods. The game crashed twice in these 30 hours which is absolutely okay for me.
The game crashed for me without mods so I concur, 2 crashes in 30 hours is alright.
Same here! I'm at 80% game completion and have only had 2 crashes. Incredibly stable for San Andreas standards
better than the definitive edition fr

Wish people would make walkthroughs with these mod pack to see it in proper action.
It's incredible how a 18 year old game still gets more love from the community than the "definitive" edition got from the developers
Because GTA SA had a very strong fanbase.
couldn't agree more
I think if they were given proper budget, time and focus on one game at a time. The product would have been better.
@@adnanasif9538 Look at mafia 1 remake . It dont sold more than gta 3 but still they made a great remake which was in mafia 3 engine .
@@adnanasif9538 "IF" changes a lot. They could but just didn't want to and made a pure money grab.
I love the graphics improvement since it doesnt use enb and retains its classic feel.
That was the goal 🤟
i hate enb
@@justGesha Are You Going To Do This For GTA:Vice City With Mods to Be Like The XBOX Version
I always wanted graphics mods that just made the game look like a better looking 6th gen game like say Resident Evil 4, where it's not realistic rtx levels of polish, but still look pretty good with decent poly count, textures and lighting tricks to make things look good even if the lighting doesn't behave 100% realistic to make it age more gracefully, mainly for buildings snd characters, which look a little odd and empty, the insanity character models in this video look pretty close to being just that I hope that mod gets finished because they're just the kind of detailed I was always looking for, don't get me wrong I'm impressed by the ENB stuff that actually manages to add shit like Ray Tracing without fucking everything up, but it's still a ps2 game deep down, so the classic animations and low poly buildings clash hard with the refined texture and lighting work.
Yeah its very tasetful.
This is exactly what the definitive edition should’ve been
Exactly!!
yet instead of being definitive, its defective
It should’ve been this but way better since they are a actually getting paid to make the game better
@@dgchvz Unfortunately, they didn't have the skill and Rockstar still hired them after the previous shit show of a remaster.
yall are sooo obnoxious how do you not get tired of spamming this under every video about gta sa mods?
we all understood it the 10th time around
The definitive GTAs experience should've been like this out of the box. It always amazes me how much can these modders do, they saved the game. Also thank you for compiling the mods!
@@spiridonpa7080 these mods look great and all, but Rockstar literally made the damn games, the foundation for the mods themselves
@@AquDrIFT and that's what confuses me the most about this company. It goes from developing masterpieces of video games to publishing low-effort, shitty and unfinished remasters of them.
@@spiridonpa7080 simply just different goals. Modders want to improve the game, rockstar most likely just want some quick bucks, unfortunately
@@spiridonpa7080 They paid people to ruin their games
@@spiridonpa7080 was curious when you said a modder helped them to fix the game issue, didn’t know it’s a real story!
Thanks, loved.
Just a note (and I should have put this already ready in the download), Real Skybox was configured with Real Linear Graphics in mind, so the game's original timecyc makes the clouds too bright, you need to decrease the brightness of it in the .ini file to make it possible to see the cloud shadows.
Oh, I had no idea about that. I'll make sure to include it in my Installation Notes. Also, thank you so, so much for sharing the video on MixMods and for the awesome words you've written about it! I'm humbled 🙏
Edit: Oh, I saw that you've already updated Real Skybox with the new values. Nice!
Hey junior i installed your real skybox graphics the rain dont have some bubbles in my screen
Dude! You are a legendary modder that helps keeps GTA San Andreas fresh and alive in 2022. Props to you!
@@greg123zx9 its from skygfx
@@fithomanuel1167 oh thanks
It's incredible how small community modders manage to do a much better job than an entire professional game development team
That “entire professional game development team” was Grove Street Games…. Who have like.. 10 employees that were tasked with remastering ALL three 3D era GTA games
talents and love > nepotism and diversity hire.
@@glowingdeathclaw3560sounds like Rockstars problem for hiring a group of 10 employees to redo 3 games and not giving them enough time/resources. The point is, how can 1 person, 2 people, 10 people, whatever that are just random programmers do a better job than a whole ass professional company
if anyone likes this "lore-friendly" remaster of the game but doesn't know how to mod the game / doesn't have the time to do so / it keeps crashing ...
I already uploaded the whole game to a friend of mine and thought might as well just upload it here, but I can't put the link here cause youtube keeps removing it so check the comments of my last video, i put the mega file (17GB) there and some Readme files explaining the basics
What a W my man
You are a real one, saved me tons of time and effort, have a good one mate
thx mate you a G
this is the exactly what I want GTA SA become to , optimized everything without losing the classic style WELL DONE💯
Yeah usually people just port over hd universe counterparts to everything, but his mods are tasteful, he selects the best mods that make the game look and feel better but still have some semblance of the old charm I love it!
When compiling the mods list for this video I guided myself by these four things:
1. It needs to be lore-friendly
2. It needs to be stable(no crashes)/the mods need to be compatible with each other
3. The game needs to remain functional, meaning that no game mechanics/storyline scripts break
4. Each mod needs to have a purpose(no adding of mods just for the sake of having a large number of mods)
Mods that didn't fit the criteria were excluded from the list.
Don't know about compatibility but Ragdoll and Project Props really would've fit very much, still a banger list tho
Good job!
Ragdoll keeps my Game turn down to 1 FPS only
@@Galang1897 Also, there's no good ragdoll mods available for GTA SA. Instead I use [SA] Animation Fix + M4k3 Anims mod from mix mods. This mod is so far the best animations mod made for GTA SA which fixes and improves the original animations of the game. It also applies some logical animation fixes. I'm surprised how this mod hasn't made a place in this video.
@Xtreme man Because this feature was present in GTA SA but it was incomplete and disabled. This feature was perfectly included in GTA LCS & VCS. So, the modders used animations from those games to complete this feature in GTA SA. Also, GTA LCS & VCS had used animations from the beta version of GTA SA. So, those animations technically belonged to GTA SA.
Gotta love how well you kept the game's style. No clashing of art styles, no pretentiousness, just good ol' San Andreas, but looking better.
I like how when I look at this, I think "GTA San Andreas", and not "GTA San Andreas HD Pack Ultra Release RTX Shaders".
Also I noticed that you avoided making the mods clash with eachother too. Pretty much nobody cares about that when they make a "HD REMASTER" pack, thanks!
THIS is exactly the type of mod lists I been wanting, I wish ever game had a vanilla friendly mod list like this. Not everyone wants those mods that out right change the game. We want a Vanilla+ experience. Thank you for this!
I agree friend, there's something about the original vehicle and general world design that feels right and some mods just take all that away, but his mods enhance the game but retain that original feel. Love the profile btw Ichigo is boss.
I love how everything is lore friendly. My least favorite mods are ones that replace GTA world assets with real world ones. Especially if they do it wrong, like say, replacing a "Ferarri" with a Lambo or Aston Martin.
Do i have to install all mods into modloader
It's surprising that there still isn't a mod that remakes the vehicles in HD.
Real Skybox is indeed an amazing mod, using it together with SAAS (San Andreas Ambient Sounds) give the game an incredible vibe.. great vid as always
GTA SA did not age that well for me, now with these mods I can finally play it again. Thanks a lot!
Glad to help and thank you!
good for you
This is really good! I appreciated that it remained faithful to the original design without the overblown enb designs while giving it the modern touch! Watched the video from start to finish and mad respect to the mod team who made this happen.
I'm always hungry for mods that don't overload the game with unnecessary effects or wacky powerups, but instead implement neat small gimmicks that won't weight on hardware. Many of these will do nicely, thank you a lot for making this video!
Don't forget the mods that promises quality graphics but floods the whole San Andreas in exchange. God, I hate those!
I absolutely love the pack's goal of staying true to the original game's vision while fixing some of the negatives. Great stuff.
Also a HUGE thank you for adding captions, it really improves my watching experience in so many ways!
Yes too many mods out there just port over hd universe vehicles its good for a change.
Same, love the captions
mad respect to youtubers who use subtitles.
Bro this is amazing, I’ve searched up so many remastered mods but they’re all ass and just use models that dont fit the game aesthetic, then I tried to find the xbox textures but even those werent online, I dont know what black magic you used to make this but I love you for it
This is exactly how the real definitive edition should look like, after this there is no more changes, period. You guys did it with love! We want some gameplay for this masterpiece please
Your editing is so good, really makes the video fun to watch
I don't even play San Andreas much anymore but still watch to see how much better the game can become
Aesthetically epic looking game. Dope list. And incredibly well done cinematics.
Real insane stuff
Vice city was better and had a better vibe imo
And every time you kill someone it still looks pathetic, because he didn't even add the most important mod of all: ragdolls
This is by far the most tasteful and complete modlist for GTA SA I've ever seen on UA-cam. Well done!
I love that it retains the original aesthetic, and doesn't have those ridiculous constantly wet roads lol
Thank you for this, it is extremely performance friendly since it runs smooth on my piece of potato.
The graphics mods not only look great, but are also extremely well optimized and can be configured in detail.
You have a good taste for mods, and these mod showcases have the editing quality of a short film, incredible,your tutorials are like movies :)
Project 2DFX with high settings just kills the framerate
@@Haxogone Well then dont do high settings lol, its still great without them.
@@Haxogone What about Limit Adjuster and frame rate vigilante?
@@sadmankhan9630 They don't change performance. This comment was made when high settings were recommended. This is just a stupid question.
I do apologize for this, but could you upload the games folder somewhere..
I have currently spent over 2 weeks and cant get it to work. I have stage 4 cancer and want to play my favorite game for the las time in the best possible way.
It's absolutely amazing but it requires a lot of effort to put this all together. You did a great job man. I'd only like to have an installer for all of this mods :'(
I'm still having problems. I literally downloaded 4 times already like actually. I put all the files all together still having problems. The game crashes in loading screen. Isn't there a more easy to download this?
@@the80sbiker62 bro did you read instructions for each mod? There is a link on description part in video
@@the80sbiker62 Have you downgraded your game? You need v1.00 for installing most mods properly.
I already installed most of these mods and more faithful ones to the game
I can upload the whole game to mediafire or something like that if you want
although am currently sitting at 16GB so idk how that works out lol
@@Shockload I would be very grateful if you could download the game with all the mods and share the link)
I’m so happy that the GTA modding community is still at hard work to deliver such a beautiful experience to us players by putting so much love and care to these beloved classics.
That was an incredible video! Just what I needed, when I was in a mood for San Andreas again after so many years. Thank you so much for this work :D
Bro, this is definitely the best remastered GTA SA. I've tried another remastering content, but since it uses gta V graphics enb my pc just cant handle it. This is a perfect balance of the classic, yet HD feel, also the subtle details improvements are such *cheff kiss*. Well done video 👌
Holy cow this is absolutely amazing!!!!!.i have to say that this modded original game looks a hundred times better than the so-called "definitive" edition.oh and 1 more thing Gesha,can you also make a gameplay video with these mods if you had any chance?
Hey there, I just wanted to thank you. Watching the video is one thing, but actually playing with these mods hits different. Took a while to install them all, but the end result is absolutely stunning and so worth it. Every detail is well taken care of. I think one of the mods that blew my mind the most is the uncompressed SFX one, the garage door sound is way WAY better now. I had no problems installing any of the mods, your github guide is very complete!
All in all, the game feels the way it felt through the lens of my childhood, back in the day. What an experience. Thank you!
Hey Daniel, you have discord? I'm having problems putting all the mods together. I would appriciate some help.
Damn that’s video is great. It’s like a trailer to some remaster and game’s look fresh! I even got a wish to play that again in 5 years even though I still watch San Andreas videos and only this bring me back a will to play again, thanks, mate!
“Good things come to those who wait” And it is amazing. It's also nice that you chose lore-friendly mods as well, and maintained the “feel” of the game by using more QOL improvements, rather than major graphical enhancements (Not saying it's bad, I just prefer the classic feel of San Andreas.) If only the DE could add some of these things/improve performance.
oh man i wish someone would make a modpack out of this, installing every single one of the mods one by one is gonna be a pain..
good shit as always btw!
I had the exact same mods installed before I accidentally deleted the folder :/ It's easy to install tho won't take much time
@@swapnilgohil7280 yeah
That would be like 12 GB
Eu montei este pack de mods, posso disponibilizar o link para download.
@@brayansantana955 Eu realmente apreciaria se você fizesse isso, por favor :D
Hey, Gesha! You should consider doing full-length gameplays of not only the fully-modded San Andreas, but 3 and Vice City too. It would be a great way to see all these mods working in full action!
Just wanted to say your Remaster videos are made with so much effort that it just amazes me. Mods always are choosen nicely and every single one works with the vibe/atmosphere of other mods and it feels like it was made by Rockstar itself. Im using most of mods showcased in your videos and everything works perfectly
This is one of the best vanilla+ modpacks i've ever seen man am definitely gonna try it, the modders really did an amazing job
What a legend! Thanks a lot for such a great video! I've been looking for some kind of lore-friendly and not over the top mod list for a couple of weeks now, and this is it.
13:56 best gta graphics mod ever
really cool compilation man! The game overall got a complete makeover without losing its original essence~ Really cool!
Dude, you've improved a lot! Congratulations for this wonderful video
God damnit i loong for your entertainment, literally waiting for every damn video. You got this bro you're amazing.
Thank you for the kind words!
This video is literally “The GTA San Andreas improvement bible”
Unfortunately it was made right before mods like Wind Project and Ladders Mod.
Just so you know, any of you newcomers. All mods he linked derived from Mixmods, a Brazilian modding website for games like GTA. That site has been flagged down by Google for supposedly harboring malware (Extremely bullshit. Unless the downloads have trojans.) Thats probably the main reason why he removed the links.
wow great content. makes me want to get back into gta classic after 7 years
would love to see a GTA III and vice city one (while staying true to the original GTA VC). e.g. no vice cry etc which ruins the original feeling
The editing is unreal. BIG UPS
That's exactly what I was trying to build ten years ago, when I was playing this game daily.
Good to see that it's posible in 2022. Might even hop back in and build my dream SA.
Man, you put so much work into this video, I can only imagine how much time you spend polishing everything. Great job!
Very helpful as I'm currently making a pack that focuses on enhancing the vanilla style and experience, thanks!
"How remaster gta san without puting oceans on the streets"
Wow. This video most have taken ages. Thank you. I think I'll try this if I can install them without crashing
You're the best! I've never actually completed San Andreas before, so a collection of faithful modifications to the game is just what I was looking for.
GTA community modders are just insane and highly underrated!! Thanks to you and handful of other youtubers who pick *the best* mods that truly enhance our experience of gaming on these beautiful old GTA titles. I AM IN LOVE with these kinds of videos, specially for GTA V, SA and Vice City :)
I love it thank you for putting this video together and helping us 👍
This is Amazing!
I always wanted to do this and I'm glad some one figuring out what mod that need to install.
This looks so good man good job finding them
these mods are incredibly refined, it's easy to see the passion of the developers for their projects. I've played with the silent patch and other fixes, but these are on a whole new level!
I remember pirating this game on my homeschool computer. Learned so much about computers and software just from the modding scene alone. This game is the best game of all time, more than Ocarina of Time. I hope you get more support to continue doing what you do. I’m going to build a computer just to okay this game again with all these mods.
Same story here bro!! San Andreas modding was a huge introduction to computers when i was young. Taught me that you can do everything in a computer with patience and tutorials, a lot of tutorials 🤣🤣
Damn man same! I learned English, how to efficiently use computers, and so much more just cuz of modding in this game
Literally it happened the same to me
Bruh how many of us
fantastic video!
wow.. this is an amazing compilation dude! 😳 I'd surely try them out when I reinstall the game, thanx a bunch man! 👍
This video for GTA V would be amazing. I'd love to see a lore friendly mod list.
Yes. Please !
GTA IV too! I hate the fanbase but I'm still faithful to the game. I bet it's going to be up to par with RDR2 if it does have game enhancing and lore friendly mods.
This is *EXACTLY* what I wanted from a GTA San Andreas remaster.
Bro this is great stuff 👍👍
Amazing video!! subbed and waiting for an updated GTA Vice City overhaul video, really hoping you make one !
Man now this is what the definitive edition should've been! This seems more like a dedicated remaster while keeping the original feel of the game as said, also I love the vehicles overhaul mod, it's so weird seeing turn signals and detailed lights in a 3D era GTA, well aside from emergency lights on emergency vehicles, I'd love to see an update for that, like the DE, but anyways the other mods work so damn well that it looks vanilla
This is the best mods possible to get a proper definitive edition of GTA San Andreas. Thank you!
And so on GTA San Andreas will became more immersive for me just like i first play it :)
Thank you so much for showcasing all of this
Keep up your works!!
Neato! I have been struggling to think of new ways to experience gtasa so this video fills me with inspiration. Thanks for including links to the mods as well.
Thank you, happy to help!
This is the type of love that should have been put into the definitive version, well done to the modders who carefully put this together
Here are some of my recommended mods here
- remaster sounds
ua-cam.com/video/ae8QcPEEhLo/v-deo.html
This mod basically remastered the weapon sounds, I recommend it as in my opinion, it sounds pretty nice while being more faithful to the classic sounds
- next gen effects
ua-cam.com/video/3C2OFvMuWFQ/v-deo.html
This isn't a simple effects mod, it is more than that! This mod adds so much effects like water explosion (in vanilla there's no giant water splash at explosion, instead it has the same explosion under water)
Better rain effects, better fog, shorelines effect, wave effect, thunder and better sandstorm effects much more. All of that while being light for low end PC.
It is compatible with enhance classic graphics but delete the particle.txd since it already includes it. The bad thing about this mod is that it crashes when saving a save and then loading that same save game again
- enhfuncs
ua-cam.com/video/g7SKCzLBpsM/v-deo.html
This is basically the next gen weapons, but adapted to this mod
This mod features very nice gun details such as weapon sliding moving and such, I recommend this mod the most as it has pretty nice features.
This is like the 6th time I'm watching this video, I bookmarked it. Man you really got a talent for putting this stuff together, good work.
MY FAV YT IS BACK !! and NICE work😍
this is probably one of your most subtle yet perfectly enhancing combo of graphics and gameplay mods for a gta game, if this was what the hd remaster was like on ps3 or mobile, id buy it anyday.
This is so lovely. GTA SA is my favorite game of all time so I'd like to give this a shot instead of the Definitive Edition. Big thank to all of you modders. ❤
Man just keep up the great work🙌
I can totally see you having millions of followers💯
Awesome video! This must've taken quite a bit of effort to put it all together. Subbed! :)
Man, I'd looove to play this modded version. I just wish it was available in one easy to install file. I have no idea how to install these huge lists of mod files or even what version of the game to start with? I have San Andreas on Steam.
Can someone just make a modpack based on this video and release it for us? my god does it pain me to install it 1 by 1 with crashes and issues everywhere.
Yeah, I think some mods need to be installed before others, some crashes I had were fixed by just removing the mod, and putting it back in my modloader folder, but maybe I'm wrong but that's my theory for some of the crashes
Holy shit, thank you so much for this! Especially the mods that change / improve the lighting in this game look fantastic.
You literally made the remaster we all expected of what was supposed to be the 'Definitive Edition'.
Could you also remaster GTA 3 with mods like you did with Vice City and San Andreas?
Edit: Oops. I found it on your channel :D
*4:26* i love this one 🔥
Great video, this is the ultimate GTA SA experience that's worth playing. The official remaster added up absolutely nothing to polish the game's old age.
This is one of the most well produced videos I've seen in a while! I would LOVE to be able to buy this for my xbox series s or ps4!!!
Bravo ludiq, mnogo qki klipcheta pravish, vijda se che ti e kef da gi pravish, produljavai samo taka!
Definitive edition really is a fucking cashgrab... Look at how beautiful the community did this ❤️
Great video! I recently got into the modding sense while it’s fun to mod but sometimes it can be frustrating when things doesn’t work out for you! It would be nice if you can show us a tutorial where each individual folders go! I don’t know if I’m asking for too much! Nonetheless I enjoyed your content keep up the good work! ❤️
Yea tbh i would also love to see this
The truck and trailer one is what does it for me, also the mechanics related ones like running with guns
Had no idea it was an original feature im getting that one asap
Epic video 👍
Excellent editing ✌️
I followed your guide very carefully , redownloaded everything x2, and redid the process x2. Game wont even load past the loading screen before it crashes. Can you pack your gta sa folder and upload it somewhere?
He is too Lazy 🦥 Don't bother
Infinitely better than what we actually got in the definitive disappointment
I’ve just discovered this video and I gotta say, can’t wait to install all of them mods! Can’t believe that after almost 19 years since the release of this masterpiece it is still loved by the community and still a lot of people are playing it!
Best game ever, not gonna change my mind ever!
top notch editing !
Everything in this video is just perfect, the real Definitive Edition.
Se que probablemente no entiendas lo que dice este comentario. Pero el trabajo que has hecho es asombroso. Mereces mucho más reconocimiento por la dedicación y tiempo que inviertes en traernos este trabajo increíble.
Gracias!
Excellent work on the video and collection of mods. Well deserved the post on MixMods! That said, I’d like to note that madleg’s ragdoll wasn’t in the list. Mind you, this is a very fine selection of mods and I love each but if I had to pick just one, it would always be “bullet physics ragdoll” .. just breathes new life into the game.
The production quality of this video is *insane!*
you should have shown gameplay with all the mods installed
Now someone needs to upload complete modpack instead of everyone having to spend 2 hours installing all these different mods...
To in the end it not working at all even if you follow every single notepad and stuff xD
Reasons why this can't happen:
configuration (things like performance)
updates (for mods)
updates (for instructions)
too heavy
I might help
@@Haxogone How does it run on laptops? anyone tried it on older hardware?
@@ViroRads It obviously depends on the laptop.
Holy shit. This is the best list ever. And a well edited video, holy crap. Instant SUB!
Very Cool video brooo!!!
