San Andreas Connection mod for Grand Theft Auto V

Welcome to the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Connection Official Moddb page! Everything you need to know about the project is listed here, alongside information on tie-in projects!

General Information

San Andreas Connection takes place in an alternate universe, separate from the traditional HD GTA universe. While things are largely the same, certain events have been altered to justify the events of the story - Including the death of Michael Townley in 2004, to the rise of a new power hungry organization "Spark Incorporated".

This mod is designed to function as a Singleplayer DLC. It adds an entirely new story, alongside new vehicles, weapons, radio stations, and previously Online-exclusive content. So instead of waiting for that slim-to-none chance that Rockstar does produce a Singleplayer DLC, this should cater to the community more than enough.

Alongside this mod is a web series, dubbed "The Libertonian", that ties into this mod. Currently three episodes (one prologue and two episodes) are available to view on The7thOne's YouTube Channel.

Story

After the events of Grand Theft Auto IV, Niko and Roman Bellic have decided to move to Paleto Bay, San Andreas. Some short months of quiet living have still caught the eye of a few underground hot-shot hackers. Lester Crest, the mastermind behind the Pacific Standard Job, and Gary Mitnick, a has-been whistle blower with knack for cracking code, have decided to pull Niko into their current business operation. With just a police record listing all of Niko's past crimes, Lester blackmail him into his charade.

With nowhere else to run, Niko is forced to perform a series of increasingly difficult heists, meanwhile making sure that he and his cousin will be okay in the end. With many old and new faces, San Andreas Connection create a unique and entertaining story with enough grit and style to keep it grounded.

Gameplay

San Andreas Connection's gameplay focuses on Los Santos and Blaine County, which revolves around a heavily modified alternate reality of the HD Universe. Taking place in the same universe as The Libertonian means that key events and characters will exist in regular gameplay.

The map is immediately accessible, although the story begins in Paleto Bay. Focusing on open-ended gameplay, various events and activities can be participated in all around the playable map.

While the story maintains a consistency revolving around linear storytelling, the player is not forced to participate in any events that may occur. This promotes the player to observe their surroundings and choose a style of play. For instance, certain missions may include multiple ways to complete the objective. Niko may choose to take an alternate route to the destination, improvise the situation, or contact an associate to complete the current goal. This emphasizes player choice and replayability within the world.

Players are also given the ability to participate in optional game modes, from Hitman to Fight Club and Photography to Tennis. The world is filled with things to see and do, and what exactly you do is up to you.

It is also possible, although rare, to come across characters that exist in regular gameplay. The player can choose to interact with them or ignore them altogether.
