Episode 2: ua-cam.com/video/IOsIuoON_2E/v-deo.html Looks like there's a superior crash logger now: www.mixmods.com.br/2021/06/crashinfo.html It's unfortunate this came out a few days after this video's release, but oh well. Use this as well as SCRLog to have the best crash logging available. Also apparently people can't load their saves when they use Community Map Fixes. You should start new game once you've installed all the mods you want, because you can run into other issues from not doing so (during playthroughs).
After doing everything in your video, my game crashes halfway through loading, maybe I missed someone addressing it but do you have any clue on how to fix it from doing that?
I'm a 10+ year san andreas solo and multiplayer veteran and this might be the most complete modding video tutorial I've seen (yes I know this was uploaded almost a year ago but still )
I was not expecting that comment about the ENB at the end. wonderful video, guided me perfectly through the process as a total beginner, wonderful job.
I've started modding GTA SA back in 2009 maybe, It was more tedious since there wasn't any good mod selectors back then, but I now see it's far more easier, I will relive my good ol' days with modding GTA SA. the worst thing back then it was I had to manually edit the .img files myself
This video is exactly what I've been looking for. I'd given up on trying to mod the game for like a year or two and recently wanted to give it another shot. Every video on the subject never explain ANYTHING and it's so frustrating for a noob like myself who is interested in learning. Thank you, so much man. I'm subscribed, cheers!
hey catsmackaroo, i'm new to the san andreas mod community and i understood everything - your montage, voice, mic quality, organization, everything is clean man! big props, you're a marvellous person bruhbruh. ps : i can't seem to find the "Community map fixes" anywhere since the github shit is dead. i saw your reply on an another comment and idk if i should dl another map fixes pack. thanks again for those awesome guides man
As someone with a lot of exp modding GTA San Andreas. This is extremely helpful for beginners. Although funny enough, it’s installed on program files (x86) and never had a issue, and never had anti-virus act out with mods. But still good to know nonetheless.
It is quite late to comment this, but I thought that it might be useful to other people who followed this guide. To anybody downloading the Community Map Fixes, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!! That causes all the crashing that everybody is experiencing. You could do all the steps right, but the thing is that this map fix mod crashes your game. Just skip it and continue doing everything else like normally. Otherwise, your game will either crash or freeze. Edit: You have to use the mod without project 2dfx as that's what's crashing the game. Community map fixes causes problems when project 2dfx is installed, so remove project2dfx to use the modpack.
thank you so much for making this tutorial, this is the most detailed modding tutorial ive seen yet. sadly, gta: ug was shut down but i found a website that hosts it and i will post a reddit thread of a guy that still has it if yall want it! 😁
I do the same, keeping the games on a different drive on a games folder is very helpful since keeping something on the programs files drive it will always ask for admin perms or pass and modding can be slower so keeping games on a different drive is very helpful
great tutorial man worked for me.. i kept it more simple tho.. just doing what you said.. get all mods first test them... then get your ENB... trying to get gta V mod... bring really new new graphics like gta 5
This video really explained every single shit and it's very effective. I had another modded GTA SA before but I couldn't do much like adding cars etc. I tried modding GTA: Sa like this way like multiple times but it crashes. That was until I decided to watch all the video and BAM! everything worked fine. Thanks a lot. But I have installed a mod (first person mod) and I have added a car (didn't replace but added) the problem is that everytime I am in an added car and I get into first person everything crashes.
(2025) This guide is still working for me. However, Community Map Fixes does NOT work (shouldn't use anyways bc it's composed of stolen work), and it will crash your game if used with Project2DFX. There are additional files that come with some of these mods, but you MUST follow this videos instructions 100% if you want your game to work properly
Thanks Man! I say make and look for more SA mods and comparison then go even back with Vice City. Still great job man now from 1 year it will take a 1hour you are amazing keep up the good work!!!
Thanks a lot man because of you i can now install mods which I coulnd't install and my gta sa is now way better I just installed GTA V graphics mod and a Forza Horizon 3 Speedometer its sick and also engine on/off mod the gameplay is smooth even after mods (my pc-i3 6th gen 4gb Ram 500gb HDD 2gb integrated graphics) it just took me an hour to completely learn how to add mods Thanks
*Dude "SA Community Map Fix" is a good mod but unfortunately many mods don't support this mod. I've lowered the priority but it still crashes. Examples such as Pre-lighting Fixes Pack. Well Unfortunately I had to Remove it from Modloader :(* yes simply I don't want to play with mods that make good roads with buildings that are bright like divine light Hey btw nice vid bro :) At first I couldn't mod in this game, (Y I know I'm stupid) but hey ur vid is so gud :)
Community Map Fixes already has pre lighting fixes, which could be why its crashing. I dont have issues crashing whatsoever with it, so idk why people do... very weird
Hey Modders..!! First of al... Absolutely great Vid, and Thanx. Best one I've seen to date... Period.!! So..., I Mod myself, and I could really use some Help....!!! I'm in the process of reworking GTA SA Big Gangster Mod, which is a Mod originally by Jeansowaty that adds a ton of additional gangs to the game. So far I got 27 or 28 gangs in addition to the original 8. LS is done, LV mostly done, and still working on LV, SF and the Desert. The Gameplay it's self is "hell on wheels", most of the skins are high quality HD models from different artists... "Yeah.., they're Artists", that I made teams of, and it's just not possible to get boared with the game anymore..... AT ALL... This was made for Marathon Gaming!!! For example, I got the West Side Ballas splitting from the Ballas Gang, and are in conflict with East Side Ballas, Front Yard, and Rollin Heights Ballas, with support from the Vagos, all separately. The San Andreas Bikers being attacked by the "Evil" Lost MC, Dirty Fam Cop.. gonna add more dirty and clean cops, Temple in conflict with The Lost MC, The LV Mafia trying to move in on The Red Dragon Casino, speaking of Red Dragon.., The Red Dragon Tong LS in conflict with LS Rifas on one side, and Grape Ballas on the other, me constanly being followed by LS Vice by use of the Undercover Patrol 2.0 Mod. And with the addition of Global wars, Ex Gang Wars, and the Driveby Mod, you get drivebys, and gangs taking over the turfs of other gangs, which you are sometimes called upon to participate in. At times gangs that you're cool with will turn on you and try to expand their turfs. The Triads territory has been divided by The Mountain Clouds, The White Lotus Tong, The Black Dragon Clan, and The Red Dragon Tong. And to that, I've added Take Money and Run Mod. I plan to add the Yakuza, a branch of the Mafia, the Vagos, and more. really I've seen a great many of AWSOME and AMAZING versions of SA, but nothing like this. IT'S MAAADD...!! MADE FOR MARATHONS!!. ✋👿 PROBLEM IS.... I CAN'T GET THE ACCURSED THING STABLE....!!!!!! Ok.., let met first stop biting down on my bottom lip in extreme anger and frustration.... Ok..., I'm back. So that's where you all come in😁 People who love the game, and would like to participate in helping to make one of the greatest Mods for any game ever, and not because I say, but because it really is, you'd have to play it, should hit me up. You can find me on FB.. excusee me.., META, on Big Gangster Mod Advanced. The page is stilllll a work in progress, so it's nothing spectacular...yet. You can have the game as is so far for free, especially those who help, otherwise, I wouldn't want to release a version that's NonFunc. So..., look me, and hit me up.
After playing GTA SA on my ps2 for months I finally broke. Spent 7 on G2A and I'm taking the dive into modding this broken pc port. Hopefully I didn't just spend 7 on a massive chore lmao. If this guide wasn't here I'd be lost thanks a bunch... wish me luck
@@joseenriquejoson1994 i am getting problem after the new game is fully loaded and about start scene where it shows the city name (b4 cj gets to arport scene) it stucks there... can you help me?
thank you so much now i understand how modding works in gta sa best tutorial for begginners who start modding cant thank you enough buddies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
13:00 What you've shown here is a mod menu. A trainer is a separate program that modifies the game (usually to give cheat-like effects, such as unlimited money, health, etc). All these mods that call themselves trainers are in fact not trainers. Now, don't get me wrong here, I'm not bashing these mod menus, I in fact highly advise anyone and everyone to use them over the real .exe trainers, as they are 99% of the time cleaner and better than the real trainers. I just wanted to clear up a misconception.
Look hmmmmmm mod menu is like if u download a mod it has a menu right and trainers are basickly a menu for cheats other known as cheat menu soooo yeah .
@@wazirssiblings3600 Trainers can only be separate programs, if it's a plugin for the game it's a mod menu. "Game trainers are *programs* made to modify the memory of a computer game..." - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainer_(games)
Whenever I open the GTA SA, the loading bar stops and crash and shows another page saying "Problem : Hit Limit of COL Files" I dont really know how to fix it, if you could reply that'd be a great help!
idk what is outdated but this doesnt work anymore sadly... still enjoy your help with the ENBs that saved me hours of hell getting the V graphics mod to work.. I had to use another more updated tutorial to mod
I can't recommend that you follow this guide, the downgrader linked doesn't result in the necessary 13.7mb executable, instead it is a smaller one that doesn't work and will not recognize any mods, I needed to watch a different, more updated guide for it which provided a file that was double in size. The part about the essentials is way too rushed and it was a headache to setup, I ended up needing to follow a different, better guide. Finally I couldn't get the community fixes mod to work, I recommend you skip that part at least as it is outdated and if you follow the setup guide the mod creators give step by step, installing even the optionals, you may still end up like me, needing to delete it for the game to load (gets stuck in loading screen)
Holy Frick this is complicated, thought I only need to listen to a video a couple of times and am good, but this is gonna be homework, hopefully I do it right.
If your game doesn't launch with Community Map Fixes, do not forget to install IMG archives: mega.nz/file/8I8g1Tra#ee25hFw-X52Y11DOoDZzqCixvV-dTAgivBO9hzrGd6M Install them and the game will launch fine
I had already modded my gta sa, and I wanted to add another mod for the tag locations. It’s been awhile since I have modded, and I screwed it up. My game wouldn’t load. Had to uninstall it, and when I installed it again it would load but then close and I remembered it did that because it can’t play on modern pc’s so here I am ready to learn again 👍
hi, thanks for making the video, its very helpful, but after I followed your steps and installed community map fixes but my game crashes at the loading screen, do you have a fix?
Stupid question: But does it really take, I don't know, 20+ minutes for it to (not) load? So, I followed the video. Step-by-step. The game boots up. Start screen. But when I try to either load the complete save or start new game, I'm stuck at the loading screen even after the white bar loading thing is at its max.
its a good thing that pirating isnt an enforced law because i wasnt able tot get the OG trilogy pre definitive edition since they were taken down from steam when the definitive edition trailer dropped
2 year old vid ik, but i recommend making the vanilla copy AFTER installing the essentials mod pack. it fixes some annoying stuff like the mouse not working and stuff like that.
I've started over for the 4th time today. My first two attempts were successfully ig I got carried away w mods and started having crashes. Now I went back to your video did it step by step and it crashes from loading the 100 percent game save
I definitely wanna try modding my GTA SA now! Does modding need more space on the hard drive? I don't know anything about it, I just know that my laptop is a cheap pos with not near enough oomph to run the definitive editions...not even the most basic of the three, GTA III so I'm hoping mods will make my GTA SA experience better! I've completed all the missions, quite a few of the side missions, with no cheats on my iPhone and that was a feat for me for sure. I'm not thrilled with vice city on my phone at all because the physics of driving is completely off, but I'm going to try to transition back to laptop playing here and there.
I'd say so yeah. I mean it depends on what mods you want, but you will also be creating backups. GTA SA size is around 4.5GB. So after you create a backup, that's already 9GB used without any mods. Whether or not your computer is a piece of 💩... you should get an external harddrive or something to get more space, if it's an issue
the save hits the .col limit, so whenever i try to load the save you showed in the video, the game crashes. the error for hitting the col limit is 0x015632B0 help?
everything worked fine, until the part when i had to use the save to test to see if the trainer works. thats where the problem began, because loading the save just crashes the game. i tested, and any other save (checked if they're compatible with version v1.0) will crash the game when trying to load it. Im sure this is a common problem and i would be happy if you can help me with it as it will help others when looking at it in the comments section and maybe update the video on this issue. Thank you a lot !
the reason i know the error is because the essentials list updated and now the crash info mod is included (that if the error displayed by the crash info mod was the actual error) and i tried to use fastman92's limit adjuster in order to adjust the limit of .col, but i dont think thats the actual error, because it is explained as if the crash was caused by a mod that uses .col files, but i didnt have anything like that, and i have no idea how to use the limit adjuster anyway.
Hi, just to inform you, the GTA SA dowgrader download link is not working, the mega website does not load, but it does load for the v2 to v1 version and the other GTA games. I do have a backup for the file though, so I didn't need to download a new one
!!! IF YOU CANT OPEN A SAVE FILE AFTER INSTALLING MAP FIXES !!! - go to the map fixes page and look at requirements and install them (ignore the ones you already have) the main one that fixed the issue for me was SA.PCArchivesPatch so make sure to install it
Im not a pro in this, but if your game crashes when you load your savefiles then its because your saves are not on the same version of the game (You can convert your steam saves to version 1 saves online really easily). Also you maybe uninstalled the game wrong way and some files have been left behind. If its neiter of these then maybe try another downgrader or just simply delete your options file, idk. Im not an expert, but maybe it will work... hope you will succed tho!
pls if y'all know somebody who made this but in spanish, i'd appreciate if you share it to me EDIT: this video is one of the most complete in the whole community, even the russian one xd

idk what is outdated but this doesnt work anymore sadly... still enjoy your help with the ENBs that saved me hours of hell getting the V graphics mod to work.. I had to use another more updated tutorial to mod
Bruhhh thanks ive beeen raging cuz my gta crashes when i put modloader now it fixes thank u earn a sub other youtuber is not useful
Could u please help after I downloaded the essentials and ran my game it freezes at the Francis Int Airport screen
Same here
its a project props error
download an earlier version and it should work
If you didn't know already, enb's can be loaded by ASI no need for bat.
Not a lot of mods are adapted afaik
@@catsmackaroo You can load any enb by it, I've tested it.
500th like, this was a very helpful tutorial, thanks alot
I can't recommend that you follow this guide, the downgrader linked doesn't result in the necessary 13.7mb executable, instead it is a smaller one that doesn't work and will not recognize any mods, I needed to watch a different, more updated guide for it which provided a file that was double in size.
The part about the essentials is way too rushed and it was a headache to setup, I ended up needing to follow a different, better guide.
Finally I couldn't get the community fixes mod to work, I recommend you skip that part at least as it is outdated and if you follow the setup guide the mod creators give step by step, installing even the optionals, you may still end up like me, needing to delete it for the game to load (gets stuck in loading screen)
The community fixes mod has been redundant for a few years now. You can pretty much install every mod on here without it, and you'll be fine
Sweeet now i can enjoy SA the best way possible😁✌🏻.
Holy Frick this is complicated, thought I only need to listen to a video a couple of times and am good, but this is gonna be homework, hopefully I do it right.
If your game doesn't launch with Community Map Fixes, do not forget to install IMG archives: mega.nz/file/8I8g1Tra#ee25hFw-X52Y11DOoDZzqCixvV-dTAgivBO9hzrGd6M Install them and the game will launch fine
Thanks!
Very Detailed. Thanks man!
I had already modded my gta sa, and I wanted to add another mod for the tag locations. It’s been awhile since I have modded, and I screwed it up. My game wouldn’t load. Had to uninstall it, and when I installed it again it would load but then close and I remembered it did that because it can’t play on modern pc’s so here I am ready to learn again 👍
hi, thanks for making the video, its very helpful, but after I followed your steps and installed community map fixes but my game crashes at the loading screen, do you have a fix?
same here
Thank you SO MUCH man. am kinda new to modding gta sa but it looks like its so hard... still thanks
Stupid question:
But does it really take, I don't know, 20+ minutes for it to (not) load?
So, I followed the video. Step-by-step.
The game boots up. Start screen.
But when I try to either load the complete save or start new game, I'm stuck at the loading screen even after the white bar loading thing is at its max.
Same
Same. How about now did it work or no?
@@constactine nope
@@blxcpappieruu5978 My solution is I deleted the community map fixes
@@constactine alright I'll try that
Give medal to this guy
its a good thing that pirating isnt an enforced law because i wasnt able tot get the OG trilogy pre definitive edition since they were taken down from steam when the definitive edition trailer dropped
my game crashes when i make new game or play on saved file
Thanks! One of the best explanations!
Great tutorial man, thanks very much!
dude the sa community map fixes the link is broken please take a look and yeah nice video
2 year old vid ik, but i recommend making the vanilla copy AFTER installing the essentials mod pack. it fixes some annoying stuff like the mouse not working and stuff like that.
i cant do missons any solution?
You should come check out the modding on sols!
great guide, helpful, thank you very much
BEST TUTORIAL OUT THERE!
I followed all your instructions yet mine is still crashing due to Community fixes
same
i love this kind of video
I've started over for the 4th time today. My first two attempts were successfully ig I got carried away w mods and started having crashes. Now I went back to your video did it step by step and it crashes from loading the 100 percent game save
im having trobule's cuz my gta sa cant run cuz of a resolution error and idk how to fix it
Dose anyone know what to do when you try to load the 100%/New save and then there is a error that says "Hit limit of Col files" then crashes .
Same issue a year later, found a fix?
cant even start the game! thank you VERY MUCH!
You’re..NOT welcome. 😇
@@catsmackaroo btw bro i really want the first peron mod can you help me any way? mabye chat on disco or smthin. idk what the error means
also the backup also does not start up. just an error :(
I definitely wanna try modding my GTA SA now! Does modding need more space on the hard drive? I don't know anything about it, I just know that my laptop is a cheap pos with not near enough oomph to run the definitive editions...not even the most basic of the three, GTA III so I'm hoping mods will make my GTA SA experience better! I've completed all the missions, quite a few of the side missions, with no cheats on my iPhone and that was a feat for me for sure. I'm not thrilled with vice city on my phone at all because the physics of driving is completely off, but I'm going to try to transition back to laptop playing here and there.
I'd say so yeah. I mean it depends on what mods you want, but you will also be creating backups.
GTA SA size is around 4.5GB. So after you create a backup, that's already 9GB used without any mods.
Whether or not your computer is a piece of 💩... you should get an external harddrive or something to get more space, if it's an issue
the save hits the .col limit, so whenever i try to load the save you showed in the video, the game crashes. the error for hitting the col limit is 0x015632B0
help?
everything worked fine, until the part when i had to use the save to test to see if the trainer works. thats where the problem began, because loading the save just crashes the game. i tested, and any other save (checked if they're compatible with version v1.0) will crash the game when trying to load it. Im sure this is a common problem and i would be happy if you can help me with it as it will help others when looking at it in the comments section and maybe update the video on this issue. Thank you a lot !
the reason i know the error is because the essentials list updated and now the crash info mod is included (that if the error displayed by the crash info mod was the actual error) and i tried to use fastman92's limit adjuster in order to adjust the limit of .col, but i dont think thats the actual error, because it is explained as if the crash was caused by a mod that uses .col files, but i didnt have anything like that, and i have no idea how to use the limit adjuster anyway.
Hi, just to inform you, the GTA SA dowgrader download link is not working, the mega website does not load, but it does load for the v2 to v1 version and the other GTA games.
I do have a backup for the file though, so I didn't need to download a new one
!!! IF YOU CANT OPEN A SAVE FILE AFTER INSTALLING MAP FIXES !!! - go to the map fixes page and look at requirements and install them (ignore the ones you already have) the main one that fixed the issue for me was SA.PCArchivesPatch so make sure to install it
thats a good info, your comment should be pinned im gonna try that now to see if it works
Dude, I don't know why, but the game crashes even with the vanilla backup, where I only installed the downgrader. Do you know what it can be?
Im not a pro in this, but if your game crashes when you load your savefiles then its because your saves are not on the same version of the game (You can convert your steam saves to version 1 saves online really easily). Also you maybe uninstalled the game wrong way and some files have been left behind. If its neiter of these then maybe try another downgrader or just simply delete your options file, idk.
Im not an expert, but maybe it will work... hope you will succed tho!
@@kopioshu Thanks a lot dude, I will try
pls if y'all know somebody who made this but in spanish, i'd appreciate if you share it to me
EDIT: this video is one of the most complete in the whole community, even the russian one xd
SA Community Map Fixes was broken for me. when i was in the loading screen game got to 99% then crashed cus of that mod
Ye same
