==General Modding Questions==
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.

(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 Hot Coffee content, which was accomplished by deleting the affected files and protecting the game against all kinds of modification.
