Yes, although modding is somewhat limited.

===(Old) Previous Statement on GTA: San Andreas v2.0 Modding - by Steve-m===
 
'''I bought ''GTA: San Andreas - Second Edition'', am I able to install mods?'''
 
Short answer: '''no'''. The whole purpose of a second release was to disable the so-called [[Wikipedia:Hot Coffee mod|Hot Coffee]] content, which was accomplished by deleting the affected files and protecting the game against all kinds of modification. How this is done and if it can be circumvented has not been examined yet. The only known solution is to replace the executable with the old (v1.0) one, but this is illegal in most cases.

Yes, although modding is somewhat limited. The whole purpose of a second release was to disable the so-called Hot Coffee content, which was accomplished by deleting the affected files and protecting the game's archives against modification. However, GTA San Andreas v2.0 has been moddable for a few months now. Thanks to DexX and jarjar the game's GTA3.IMG file is now 100% moddable, with main.scm modding possibilities on the way soon.
