General Modding Questions

I bought GTA: San Andreas version 2.0, am I still able to modify my game?

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. Check out the GTA: San Andreas v2.0 - Modding The GTA3.IMG for more information, links, guides, tutorials and tools. [1]

Why does GTA: Vice City crash during loading?

Most likely you have too many .ipl objects in the game. To get past this, use Vice City limit adjuster. Simply change the editable values until the bottommost values turn green.
