    I just thought I would mention this mod for any GTA SA fans just in case some one has never heard of it before. The list of improvements that this mod does is too long to list here and would clutter up this post so I have provided the link.

    The Mod is called ''Things To Do In San Andreas
    'Till You're Dead''

    Has anyone tried this before?

    It is not one of those obvious mods that you will notice immediately but as you play, you will notice so many cool additions, changes, fixes etc.

    There was something similar to this for GTAIII back in the day that completely over hauled LC, really awesome stuff! Too bad this game runs like crap in Vista 64.

    it's too hard to describe what this mod does, needless to say i don't think it really improved the game too terrible on a noticeable level. What is amazing is how great it fleshes into the game. It makes things like stores that never appeared in the game such as a donut shop, better missions, more missions, easter eggs, etc. It's like instead of making a whole new car, you replace everything inside of the old one.

    This mod is almost impossible to summarise. The best way to describe it is a huge collection of bug fixes, tweaks, the re adding of missing missions, features and I think it goes a long way towards making GTA what it should have been in the first place. Some say that after using this mod, the original GTA SA seems more like a beta than a polished release.

    Gave it a try but removed it. I usually desist from all-in-one mod. Currently using Whiteman's GTA IV Vehicle pack in San Andreas. Also using ENB series.

    if there was a mod that somehow added ragdoll, then I might reinstal SA, but until then saint's row 2 takes its place...

    DeeZire has now released the final volume one of this mod and it is out of beta.

    Consider that he has been working on this mod for about 4 years now and the list of additions, fixes and features is huge. This mod makes GTA SA exactly how it should have been in the first place.
