There is also a mod on www.moddb.com that makes most of the vehicles in the game turn into real cars/ cool cars

It is realy easy to install...

I checked it out. Very nice Just one question, does this mod cause any graphics issues because there are a lot of cars being replaced.

The only thing that is wrong with my game is that it is slow at loading textures in the game

Do you guys use SAMI for installing cars?

Ya, I use SAMI but only to install the car. I go into the code myself and work with the handling file to make the cars handle properly and tone down the speed since everyone seems to make all the modded cars ridiculously fast which just makes them impossible to drive.

I don't play GTA because the cars are fake.

Haha, I hear a lot of people say that. But in a way it's a good thing they're fake. Take Need For Speed for example, they have only 40-60 cars in most of their games. The reason they have so few is because they have to pay the car manufacturers for the rights to do so. In Forza 2, there are around 300 cars, but the manufacturers placed a restriction on the damage that can be done, it's impossible to flip the cars.

Now if Grand Theft Auto had real cars in their games, they would have to buy about a 100 licenses to the rights to use them. That would mean a lot of the budget goes towards making the cars into real ones, which honestly wouldn't make the game more fun. Instead that huge amount of money goes towards improving the actual game, whether it's weapons, graphics, or storyline. Those are what make Grand Theft Auto so great.

But if you really wish there were real cars in Grand Theft Auto, you can find websites were amateur programmers make their own cars for the game that are real cars. Most of the good ones are actually Need for Speed cars remodeled to work in San Andreas. After Pro Street came out, there were a couple dozen new real cars for San Andreas, and they were very well made.

Not worth the time and trouble. GTA is a game that should be banned. Its over-inflated with violence,cursing,prostitutes,obscenity,and other crap that corrupts young,impressionable minds. I don't allow my children to play the GTA games.
