It's always bugged me that SA-MP doesn't have grass, and that the sun is missing. I found some CLEO scripts that add these features back, and it makes the game look at lot better! I also used a mod to vastly increase the game draw distance and remove the blue wall that surrounds the player and only lets you see about 1 mile.

Grass: https://gamemodding.com/en/gta-san-andreas/others/68584-samp-grass.html
Draw distance: https://www.gtainside.com/en/sanandreas/mods/94069-extreme-draw-distance-for-project-2dfx/ (download and replace relevant files with http://www.mikescnr.com/stuff/Mike/III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.rar after).
Sun: https://gamemodding.com/en/gta-san-andreas/cleo-scripts/69482-rabochee-solnce-v-sa-mp.html

You'll need CLEO and an ASI loader:

Also just downloaded a mod to re-add motion blur: https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=26881

I've always been against using mods that make the game look different that the original, so all these mods just enable things that SA-MP cuts out.

I also recommend getting Silent's Patch as it fixes many issues with the game. Take a look at the topic for details: https://gtaforums.com/topic/669045-silentpatch/

Do you guys agree this makes the game look a lot better? Are you going to get these mods? Are there any mods you guys recommend? I might look at getting a mod that changes the radar next. Post any recommendations.

REMINDER: All these mods are allowed because they don't affect other players. Please keep in mind that we don't allow mods that affect others. This includes changing vehicle mods as it can cause collision and sync issues.

I just installed two more mods, to make the radar and its icons high-resolution:

Looks much better.

EDIT:

Still not quite done. The high-res radar mod made the fist weapon icon in the HUD high-res but not the other weapons, so I had to change them too and they look much better now!
