Mods are a great way to improve your GTA and CIT experience, but they can also be deadly to your game, at least if you do not know what you are doing! Read this carefully to save you time, and possibly money.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO MODDING:Use SAMI (http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f1001-san-andreas-mod-installer-11) to install Vehicle Mods, Use GGMM (http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=434) Weapon Mods, and for Skin Mods Use IMG tool. Recommend: Spark (http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1503)
If you are advanced, you can just use Spark (http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1503) to install mods.. Be careful though.Before you even think about modding, make sure to do these things:- Make a folder in your GTA San Andreas named "Backup"
- Copy gta3.img to "Backup".
- Copy the "Audio" Folder to "Backup".
Before you even think about modding, make sure to remember these things:- Bike, Boat, And Plane mods have a less chance of crashing you than any other.
- If you install ANY car mods that replace a car that has attachments (ex. spoiler, roof,ect.) They can crash, UNLESS it is supported.
- Remember, always mod smart, just because it looks good, does not mean you need it.
- Remember, some car mods are universal, they most of the time will work on ANY vehicle. DO NOT FORGET THIS!
Have you ever modded a vehicle, then go ingame and the mod looks great! But when you get in the car you notice the name is still Rockstar's Original car name? It Looks Crappy!
Well here is a fix!
