After Installation finishes successfully:
Steam Library -> GTA San Andreas -> Properties -> Local Files

when i go on SAMI (san andreas mod installer) i click install a mod, i select that folder and it says... "san andreas could not be detected. Please specify where the game is installed"

[Tree Man Terry]

i did install this game on an external hard drive, maby thats it? i seriously doubt it.

Do yourself a favour and don't use SAMI. Oldest and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of all mod installers.

well how do i install mods onto Grand theft auto san andreas? cause it was the main purpose why i bought it.. :(

[Silent]

Either manually, or downgrade to 1.0 and get Mod Loader.

[Tree Man Terry]

How do i downgrade and get mod loader and use it?

[Tree Man Terry]

ok ive downgraded and ive got modloader and extracted the files to my game directory, what next? how do i get the mods into my game?

[Silent]

You create a separate directory for each mod in the modloader dir, then it's just drag 'n drop to there.

[Tree Man Terry]

where is modloader dir, i cant find it, also when you said directory you mean like its own folder or something?

[Tree Man Terry]

unless you just mean modloader dir as in modloader itself

[Silent]

There is one in the game's main directory. If it's not there, just start the game and let modloader create everything.

[Tree Man Terry]

i dont see modloader dir, but i see modloader.asi

[Tree Man Terry]

should i just start to game and let it load then?

[Silent]

I told you to, yes.
