INTRODUCTION:
6 years ago, when I first started converting cars there were no competent converters and high quality conversions. Now in 2020 there is still only 2-3 converters who can provide vehicles that match the GTA:SA atmosphere, have no bugs and do not cause opcodes in SA-MP/MTA. Majority of the converters active right now are incapable of converting the cars in their original sizes, causing bizarre visual effects where a small compact is taller than a person standing next to it; incapable of applying reflections that also look good without  any 3rd party graphics modification and no reflections on parts that are not supposed to reflect; incapable of making cars tunable; incapable of creating damaged parts for cars. 

The incompetence of other modders has motivated me to learn the art of converting and start supplying the community.
 
INFORMATION:

The first version (1.0) of the modpack replaces over 100 vehicles out of 212.


The cars to be replaced are chosen based on their resemblance to the original vehicle rather than the name or class. 




The pack only features Improved Vehicles Features version of the cars


If the SA style version of car is preferred, the user must individually download the cars on their own.


Please be aware that the SA Style version cars have not received any retrospective updates unlike IVF Style. 




The pack contains of modifications from different authors: @_F_, @Ndukong, @M4k3, @unopieceo, @Zeneric and @DK22Pac.


Full list of which vehicle has been created by which author is enclosed in an excel sheet "List" which also details about:


which model is replaced by which car,


IDs,


plans for future conversions.


Note: some vehicles in the current pack are just placeholders and WIPs until the real one is finished.

INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS:
It is highly recommended to install the pack with @LINK/2012´s Mod Loader! 
 
To install the mod after installing Mod Loader, simply drag and drop the content of "GTA V cars to San Andreas 1.0"  folder into ...\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\
 
KNOWN BUGS:
Some people have reported problems with some ENB Series. That is due to IVF´s dirt feature. IVF has a feature that allows every texture to have a second version that will be gradually loaded when the vehicle gets dirty (..."_d" at the end of texture name). This feature uses shaders to achieve this effect, which is also how most ENB series work and due to this the two features collide and cause bugs. In this mod the "..._d" features is used in couple of vehicles and in the general vehicles.txd for dirty glass. 
If you are advanced modder you can easily fix it by yourself by deleting the dirty glass from the texture achieve. 
As of 1.3 pack, a separate folder with alternate textures is included, so that it will be even easier to replace the textures.
 
CONTRIBUTE WITH PAINTJOBS:
I´ve always said that I hate making paintjobs for vehicles as I lack the creativity and skills for that. But that does not mean there are not other people in this community with these skills. Therefore, if you would like to contribute to this project and would like to see your works included in the next update, I have made it a bit easier for you by making the vehicle meshes available in .obj format.

IN CONCLUSION:
I would like to thank everyone who have contributed into this mod with either modelling, scripting or suggestions, but most importantly the people who have downloaded it and are actively using it. This makes me happy and shows me that my hard work has gone to good use and motivates me to continue working on that project. 
 
If you have problems/questions or want to show pictures of your game, feel free to do so here, in the mod´s official topic.
