Goal
After playing the game in various other versions, I noticed how problematic the PC port is. Because of that, I decided to create this compilation of modifications to transform the game into what it should have been from the start. This modpack brings numerous fixes and improvements to textures, models, characters, lighting, and more. Additionally, it includes optional modifications to further enhance your experience. Enjoy!
What's Changing?
1st: Recovered many PS2 features lost during the port;
2nd: Added many fixes and improvements to the map;
3rd: Fixed many beta leftovers from the game;
4th: Restored the original soundtrack;
5th: Added controller support with proper button icons and vibration;
6th: Updated the UI with high definition images and icons for better view in HD resolutions;
7th: Fixed weapons position on CJ hands, and many other animations;
8th: Fixed many graphics, lighting and reflection errors;
9th: Fixes and improvements to many cutscenes models, including CJ;
10th: Fixes and improvements to many vehicles.

And a lot more...

    Notes

    - To make a clean reinstall, follow these steps:

    Open your Steam library> Right click on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas> Select Properties> Navigate into Installed Files> Select Browse...> In a new window the game folder should appear> Delete all the files in the folder> Return to your Steam library> Right click on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas> Select Properties> Navigate into Installed Files> Select Verify Integrity Of Game Files> Steam should start to download the original files again.


    - If you are having problems launching the game, open the GTASA.WidescreenFix.ini file (with Notepad), and change the ResX to the value of your X resolution (Ex: 1920) and the ResY to the value of your Y resolution (Ex: 1080).

    - Some micro-stuttering may be present due to many modifications that are rendering at the same time.

    - Some missions can have errors because of the higher FPS. For that, I recommend you to check the Frame Limiters folder at the Optionals in the modpack.

    - If you want to use any Dualshock/Dualsense controller with this game, make sure to use a Xbox controller emulator and change the controller icons (Dualshock icons can be found in the Optionals folder in the modpack).

    - If you find problems after installing the modpack, pleasy, try a clean reinstall and follow the steps again. If the problems continues, drop a comment, I'll check if the problem is present in the current version of the modpack. If found, a new version will be released to fix that.

    Thank You.

Game was crashing on start of new game, at around 55% on progress bar. If anyone encounters similar issue, re-downloading and reinstalling of mod pack helped.
