🏆 Best GTA San Andreas Mods 2025 - Complete Guide
GTA San Andreas modding has reached new heights in 2025. From photorealistic graphics to gameplay overhauls, we've compiled the definitive list of must-have mods that will transform your San Andreas experience into something truly spectacular.
1. ENB Series & Graphics Mods
Why It's Essential: ENB (Enhanced Natural Beauty) completely transforms the game's visual rendering with realistic lighting, shadows, reflections, and color correction.
What You Get: Volumetric lighting, screen-space reflections, depth of field, motion blur, realistic sun rays, and dynamic shadows that respond to time of day.
Performance: Configurable presets from performance mode (30 FPS on low-end) to ultra mode (requires GTX 1060 or better).
2. HD Texture Overhaul
What It Does: Replaces every texture in the game with 2K-4K high-resolution versions while maintaining the original art style.
Includes: Roads, buildings, vegetation, character models, weapons, vehicles, and environmental objects all upgraded to modern standards.
Why It's Great: Makes a 2004 game look like it was released in 2025 without changing the game's fundamental character.
3. Vehicle Mega Pack (150+ Cars)
The Best Addition: Replaces vanilla vehicles with modern, highly detailed car models from luxury brands to sports supercars.
Features: Working lights, realistic handling, HD interiors, breakable parts, and authentic engine sounds for each vehicle.
Standout Mod: Our exclusive Rolls Royce taxi - cruise Los Santos in ultimate luxury!

4. Silent Patch - Bug Fixes

Fixes Include: Crash bugs, memory leaks, save corruption issues, broken missions, physics glitches, and Windows 10/11 compatibility problems.
Why Essential: Prevents frustrating crashes and makes the game actually playable on modern PCs.
5. Widescreen & Resolution Fix
Modern Display Support: Proper support for 1080p, 1440p, 4K, and ultrawide monitors with correct aspect ratios.
Includes: HUD scaling, menu fixes, cutscene fixes, and FOV adjustments for wider screens.
Result: No more stretched graphics or UI issues on modern displays.
6. Improved Weather & Timecycle
What It Changes: Completely overhauls weather effects, time-of-day lighting, and atmospheric effects.

Details: Depth-based transparency, wave animations, underwater visibility, and realistic ocean colors.
8. Enhanced Vegetation
Nature Upgrade: HD trees, grass, bushes, and plants that look modern and lush.
Optimization: Despite better graphics, performance is maintained through LOD optimization.

People Upgrade: HD character models for CJ and all NPCs with improved faces, clothing, and animations.
Variety: More diverse pedestrians, better gang member appearances, and improved main character details.
10. Audio Enhancements
