In order for me to get access to this place from now on, I have to dig through one of our earlier posts' images when typing this site's name as there's no more direct linking to the home page anymore or simply typing a particular active thread I want to visit. It is not the end of me here yet, just a nuisance.
Anyways, I made a clean restart of my reinstalled San Andreas and beat it 100% again with a slightly improved time of 21 hrs, 56 mins. This is by far my very best final run because I didn't die or get busted, even kept the minigun stolen from Area 69 all the way to the end and used it against Big Smoke. I got to around 4 million dollars at the game's end and saved it, with the in-game clock at 22:00. The internal date reads as May 3, 1992 on a Sunday, but the game ended the day prior. With perfect timing of the final mission being April 30/May 1, I felt like I made Homura proud, and yes, she does have a skin of her own ported from her combat game only though a JP account register, and an alternative school outfit skin as well, simply by watching Puella Magi vids of San Andreas, and looking down in their description for surviving links.
Now that all is well again as it was before I started modding, I can be sure I am ready to try again but will try to take proactive steps to back up the game and not just the peds in case if it gets wrecked again, probably starting tomorrow. I might even try to test the game unmodded without the Frame Limiter setting, but I can't quite sure if it can lead to some interesting side effects, not to mention the sneaky heart attack error when CJ attempts to climb something or firing weapons becoming much smoother.
