A: Yes. The standard GTA SA data folder is approximately 15-25 MB. A mod that replaces only handling.cfg , carcols.dat , and weapon.dat could easily be 1-5 MB when compressed.

Avoid the -Mali-.zip rabbit hole entirely. Whatever gameplay change, translation, or performance tweak you seek, there is a well-documented, safer alternative available from established modding communities like MixMods, GTAGarage, or the GTA Modding Discord server .

: Even for "Lite" versions, it is best to keep at least 3–4GB of free space for the APK and extracted data.
