Lists disagree here: some give SCOTTISHSUMMER for sunny weather, others for stormy. We follow the stormy version, whose button sequences line up and whose reading matches the Scotland joke already used in GTA III.

How to Enter Cheats on PS5, PS4 and PS2
Enter the sequence during play, never from the pause menu, with the directions on the D-pad. A message confirms the cheat. The Definitive Edition on PS5 and PS4 uses the same sequences as the PS2 original.
On PS3
The PS3 port swaps the shoulder buttons: press L2 where the list says L1, R2 where it says R1, and the other way round.
Trophies and Missing Cheats
On the Definitive Edition, a cheat disables trophies on the save you use it on. Keep a clean save for the Platinum. Six cheats in this list do nothing there: adrenaline mode, never hungry, cars floating away when hit, invisible cars, free aim while driving and gang members everywhere. Big Head Mode is new, entered as the Konami code.
Every cheat with its PC codes and its PlayStation and Xbox buttons side by side is on the main San Andreas cheats page. On another platform: Xbox or PC.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do San Andreas cheats work on PS5?
Yes, in the Definitive Edition, with the same button sequences as the PS2 original. Six old cheats were removed, and Big Head Mode was added: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Circle, Cross.
Do San Andreas cheats disable trophies on PS5?
Yes, on the save file you use them on. Save first, cheat on a second file, and go back to the clean one when you want trophies.
Why do the cheats not work on my PS3 copy?
The PS3 port swaps the shoulder buttons. Press L2 for L1, R2 for R1 and the reverse, and the sequences work.
Can you enter San Andreas cheats from the pause menu?
No. Unlike GTA III and Vice City, San Andreas only accepts cheats during play, so unpause first.
