Method 1

Step 1: Download GTA Mzansi Mod Files

GTA Mzansi is a mod of the original GTA: San Andreas game. Therefore, you must have GTA: San Andreas installed on your PC beforehand. If you don’t have the game, purchase and download it from the download section of our website or from an official store (e.g., Steam or Rockstar Games Launcher).

To download the GTA Mzansi mod:

  1. Visit official source “gtamzansi.co.za” to download GTA Mzansi MOD.
    • Always be cautious when downloading mods. Ensure that the website is secure (look for HTTPS) and has a good reputation in the modding community.
  2. Go to the download section by clicking “Download for PC” button. Choose the latest version for the best performance.
  3. Download the mod files. These files often come in a ZIP or RAR format.

Step 2: Install WinRAR or 7-Zip

To access the files, you need an extraction tool, as the mod files will likely be compressed in a ZIP or RAR folder.

To install 7-Zip (recommended):

  1. Visit the official 7-Zip site: https://www.7-zip.org/
  2. Download the installer for your system (either 32-bit or 64-bit).
  3. Run the installer and follow the instructions to complete the installation.

Alternatively, you can use WinRAR if you prefer it.

Step 3: Extract the Mod Files

  1. Navigate to the downloaded ZIP or RAR file (likely found in your “Downloads” folder).
  2. Right-click on the file and choose either “Extract Here” or “Extract to [folder name]” to unzip the mod files.
  3. After extraction, you’ll see a folder containing files like data, models, and the scripts required for GTA Mzansi.

Step 4: Backup Original GTA: San Andreas Files

Before applying the mod, make a backup of your GTA: San Andreas installation folder. This helps you to restore the original game if anything goes wrong during the modding process.

How to backup:

  1. Go to the installation directory of GTA: San Andreas. The default path is usually:
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (for Steam users) or
    • C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas (for Rockstar Launcher users).
  2. Copy the entire folder and paste it somewhere safe (like on your desktop or an external drive).

Step 5: Install GTA Mzansi Mod

Now, the time to apply the GTA Mzansi mod to your GTA: San Andreas installation folder.

  1. Go to the folder where you extracted the GTA Mzansi mod files.
  2. Open the GTA Mzansi folder and select all the contents (folders and files).
  3. Copy all the files.
  4. Navigate to the GTA: San Andreas installation directory (where the original game is installed).
  5. Paste the mod files into the GTA: San Andreas folder. When prompted, choose “Replace the files in the destination”. This will overwrite the original game files with the modded ones.

Step 6: Install CLEO Library (Optional but Recommended)

The CLEO library is a scripting tool used to add new functionalities and custom missions to the game. GTA Mzansi often requires CLEO for its additional features.

To install CLEO:

  1. Download the CLEO Library from the official site: https://cleo.li/
  2. Extract the downloaded file using 7-Zip or WinRAR.
  3. Copy the contents of the CLEO folder.
  4. Paste the files into the GTA: San Andreas root folder (where the game’s .exe file is located).

Once installed, CLEO will allow the mod to run smoothly with additional features and scripts.

Step 7: Start GTA Mzansi on Windows PC

After successfully applying the mod:

  1. Launch GTA: San Andreas by double-clicking the game’s executable file (gta_sa.exe) from the installation directory.
  2. You should now see GTA Mzansi features when the game starts, including new textures, cars, and missions unique to South Africa.

Step 8: Troubleshooting

If the game crashes or has issues:

  1. Check for updates: Ensure you have the latest version of the mod. Mod developers often release patches or fixes.
  2. Reinstall the game: If you encounter errors, revert to the backup of the original GTA: San Andreas and reinstall the mod following the steps above.
  3. Disable conflicting mods: If you have other mods installed, they may conflict with GTA Mzansi. Try disabling or removing other mods to ensure smooth gameplay.

Method 2: Using Modloader for Easier Installation
