I'll add more of the suggestions posted!

[AshGamer007]

Nice list you made here. Great job

BTW that HD Ped mod's original author is Vados

I think you should add this mod https://www.mixmods.com.br/2019/05/real-linear-graphics.html

I think that you should include those Grove Street gangsters that Ezekiel made a while ago. They looked pretty good IMO.

[AshGamer007]

Add this

Yeah, I agree. It was alredy added but was a missleading title.

I fixed it.

 

AshGamer007 @ Thank you! I added both.

[Jinx.]

I'm not exactly a big fan of RLG. It's useful for ENB/Renderhook, yes, but with stock graphics it's eh.

 

You should also include Ragdoll and some vegetation mod (I think Ezekiel did one too?)

[kkjj]

You should also include BSOR by Yourcreatedhell.

[Deere]

What about having this as an alternative to RLG? I think it works best with the color filter off though.

 

Add Better Skybox and Improved Armoury as well.

 

Also, rename RoSA to "RoSA Project Reborn." Maybe add the original developer's names as well?

If we're talking about keeping the atmosphere of the game as close to vanilla as possible, then this timecyc might be the best fit: https://www.mixmods.com.br/2018/12/24h-fixed-original-timecycle-colours.html. But you could include multiple timecycs for different preferences I suppose. For me, RLG is best used with Junior's Simple Bright Reshade config and Better Skybox with LaDiDa's textures, but perhaps that's straying too far from the idea of this list... It's a nice setup though, apart from the occasional issue with the Skybox.

 

It might also be worth including a link to the 24hr timecyc asi for the ones that need it.

 

Ezekiel's remastered cutscene characters would be a good addition for sure: https://www.mixmods.com.br/2017/06/cutscene-characters-remastered.html

They need DK22Pac's Mobile Specular Lighting mod to fix the hands. edit: apparently not any more!

A non-HD alternative could be lowpolyped's retextured Grove Street characters. Maybe also his CJ head? Or the A.I Remastered CJ.

 

How about some map fixes? There's this: https://www.mixmods.com.br/2018/10/z-pc-maps-fixes-correcoes-para-o-mapa.html

and also Mugetsuga's Fixes: https://www.mixmods.com.br/2018/06/mugetsugas-fixes-pack.html

 

Animation Fix plus running with heavy weapons: https://www.mixmods.com.br/2017/10/animation-fix-corrigir-bugs-de-animacoes.html

 

Other suggestions: Widescreen Fix, Project 2DFX, Enhanced Particle TXD, Sky Gradient Fix

 

Anyway, just some ideas!

correction

[Jinx.]

I think The Hero or someone else did a fix that doesn't require Mobile Specular Lighting. Could be useful for getting normal maps work with Ezekiel's remastered characters.

Also pls include Combat FX Upgrade.

[Davve95]

I added Combat FX and some other ones.

WarButler, yeah! How could I have missed them haha ("other suggestions")

Sorry for bumping.

[007Ripper]

You must add mixsets to. Many fix and improvements.

[DeeGurTeh]

Does this work in the Rockstar Launcher Version of GTA:SA?

[Alkimical]

Why the texture looks like this with Insanity CJ , how to fix it?

[fmiryan56]

vados pack make a bug to shop peds like ammu nation guy, pizza.chicken,burger staff etc.
pizza,chicken,burger staff only have visual hand bug (make you can't see the food).
but for ammu nation guy, this make you can't buy weapons.

 

Also insanity homies, make my games crash. (If i remove normalmap.asi, it works), but the peds looks weird than HD.
