For some ridiculous reason we didn't have a general San Andreas thread yet.
Even though the forums were created because of the multiplayer modification of this very game, back in 2008.
I'm doing another play-through of the game, very excited for this one!
Things were off to a bad start since for some very strange reason setting anti-aliasing to 3 made the game run at 20FPS max. Took a while to figure that one out.. It's set at 2 now and I'm comfortably at 100FPS at all times.
I'm using no cheats/mods/trainers/whatsoever. However I'm using all the tips there are.
Money: I'm using the horse betting method for getting rich quickly. Basically you keep betting all your money on the horse with the biggest return odds: 12/1. If you don't see the 12/1 option and only 11/1 odds, simply exit the betting machine and try again. Then bet it all on that horse. Your horse will lose.. a lot. Every time you lose, simply re-load your save-file and try again. Supposedly the horse is supposed to win 19% of the time, buy my first win took nearly 15 tries. Will pick this up further tonight to generate at least $100 million.
Unlockable benefits: Clearing all the firefighter missions makes you fire-proof, so that one's a prio. Clearing all paramedic missions results in 50% extra health, will do this one in Angel Pine since it's way smaller and thus easier to finish. Vigiliante makes body armor way more effective but is in my eyes the least prio.
