Now folow the steps:-
  • Choose the skin you want and copy (.dff + .txd) files (example I took id: 234) from [ C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.5\mods\deathmatch\resources\CITskinMods\plrmods ]
  • Soo I took (s234.txd + s234.dff) from there [C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.5\mods\deathmatch\resources\CITskinMods\plrmods]
    Show content
    (https://i.imgur.com/InXPsbL.png)
  • Then I changed the name of them to (234.txd + 234.dff)
    Show content
    (https://i.imgur.com/ctgJi26.png)
  • Then open TXD workshop.
    Show content

    Show content
    (Shader name: skin) .
    Show content
    (https://i.imgur.com/ImaZc6M.png)
  • Then I pressed Export to get the texture and i'll be able to edit it. (As PNG)
    Show content

  • Then I opend photoshop then I opend the texture on photoshop (skin.png)
    Show content
    (https://i.imgur.com/6m8l7OG.png)
    .
  • I changed the size for it to 1024x1024 (By clicking Left Ctrl + Alt + I ) soo you'll make the skin HD-In photoshop
    Show content
    (https://i.imgur.com/Joq1JLa.png)

    Note:
    Maximum resolution of the jpg image you can send is 1024x1024 or 1024x512 depending on skin you'll submit, this means you can turn any skin into high definition texturised skin.
    .
  • I did I quick edit on the texture, (use your imagination and create an awsome skin)
    Show content
    (https://i.imgur.com/LB6JUYn.png)
    .
  • I saved it as .png (Soo I replaced the orginal one) [Press Save AS]

    (https://i.imgur.com/SJSPzP8.png)
  • Then click SAVE TXD
    Show content
    (https://i.imgur.com/9H5kIGn.png)
  • I got a mod will make easy for you soo all you need is the change the numbers on the mod to your skin id.(i choosed skin id: 234 soo you can see here alot of 234 that's mean when I enter the game and choose skin number 234 my new skin will appear) in (Skin.lua) and (meta.xml)
  • Soo if you want for example skin 237 change the numbers from 234 to 237 in (Skin.lua) and (meta.xml)
    https://i.imgur.com/xkyJ45L.png (you can see here 234.dff and 234.txd just change the numbers to 237.txd and 237.dff.
    That's picture for (meta.xml) and it's the same for (Skin.lua)
    It's easy just change the numbers in the 2 files (Skin.lua) and (meta.xml)
    [Change the numbers there to any skin id you choosed

If you want a skin from GTA SA original (NOT CIT SKIN MOD), then follow these steps:-

  • Enter that website (https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/All_Skins_Page) and find your skin name
    Example: I want id 147, Soo press CTRL + F and type on the search box 147 (https://i.imgur.com/jdvZQvL.png) and copy the Model name which will be under the skin id, ( I took 147 and my Model name is: wmybu (https://i.imgur.com/LEVF5Sg.png) )
  • Now download Spark IMG Editor (https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1503)
  • Open Spark.exe
  • Press CTRL + O or Click on File > Open (https://i.imgur.com/k2GgukX.png)
  • Then go to (C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\models) or what ever your GTA SA files.
  • Choose gta3.img (https://i.imgur.com/WAaB6yo.png) then press Open.
  • Now search for your skin Model name.
    Example: I took skin id 147 which my model name is: wmybu (https://i.imgur.com/LEVF5Sg.png)
    So I type on the search box wmybu (https://i.imgur.com/AQRXr1s.png)
  • Now click on that search icon (http://simpleicon.com/wp-content/uploads/search.png).
  • Now Drag your .dff (https://i.imgur.com/hLBwk3a.png) to any empty folder (Just click on it and move it)
  • Also Drag your .txd (https://i.imgur.com/vxROZ1X.png) to the same folder (Just click on it and move it)
  • Now rename them to your skin id
    Example: I took id 147, Soo I need to rename them to ( 147.dff + 147.txd (https://i.imgur.com/FBLYvSb.png) )

  • Now download the mod file from Here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=18licZaXm06h-D8b4gDk0RO4NZkcWBcPP) or Here (http://www.mediafire.com/file/xhensaw1sd1a3a7/SkinsTEST.rar/file)
  • Drag the 2 files ( meta.xml + Skin.lua )
  • Open meta.xml
  • Change the numbers to your skin id
    Example: I took skin id: 147 , So I need to change the numbers 234 (https://i.imgur.com/ApInQwE.png) to 147 (https://i.imgur.com/lR4THFI.png)
  • Then Save (https://i.imgur.com/9222xwR.png).
  • Open Skin.lua
  • Change the numbers to your skin id
    Example: I took skin id: 147 , So I need to change the numbers 234 (https://i.imgur.com/QujTNih.png) to 147 (https://i.imgur.com/5XJKXfT.png)
  • Then Save (https://i.imgur.com/yIzZfTt.png)
And that's how you get a GTA SA original ( .txd + .dff ) skin files.
