Dont change your mods too many times!

Today i learned, the GTA3.img always grows in size when importing a mod. If you go from a 10mb mod to a 1mb mod, it will be larger than it was with the 10mb mod! After you hit 4,200,000kb~ your game will start crashing, or freezing. So tip, dont change mods too often!
playing since 2010, moderator for over a year demoted for being an ass to an asshole then banned for speed hack then returned for awhile then dipped out

Nice

When I replace a rdtrain for example, which's 20 MB with a roadtrain for 5 MB I always delete the 20 MB one first, then just add the 5 MB. It works.
