GTA San Andreas: Better Classic
-

I would like to present you my personal mod build, on which I went through the game 100%. Work on it began back in 2021, and since then it has undergone many changes — both adding and removing mods. The main purpose of the build is to improve the original atmosphere without losing the spirit of the classic GTA SA. No superheroes and other "HD-enhancements" that violate the style — only a sensible vision of the original.
Main features:
- Atmosphere of the PS2 version of the game thanks to SkyGfx (by The Hero);
- Translation by MSKL + original HD font by Futura PT;
- Interior lettering by SanLtd Team;
- Partial rejection of SanLtd translation due to inaccuracies and excessive slang.
What's included:
- HD radar and its icons;
- Original weapons in HQ-quality with redesigned icons;
- Project 2DFX — lighting, improved drawing range;
- ECG (Enhanced Classic Graphics) — improved visual effects of explosions;
- Shadows Settings Extender — shadows close to PS2;
- 1GB of video memory and 4GB of RAM;
- Gamepad support via Ginput;
- Extras:
- Activated unused peds from the original;
- Fixed animations;
- Dumbbells and barbells from the mobile version now display correctly (no longer gold).
About stability:The build has been fully tested by going through the entire storyline. During the whole time there was only one crash. The assembly remains as stable as possible and does not overload the system.
Installation:
- Unpack the archive with the build;
- Place the files in a clean game folder;
- Run and enjoy an improved version of the classic GTA San Andreas.
This compilation — not just a set of mods, and an attempt to improve the classic without destroying its atmosphere. Install and see for yourself.
