Beta Ped Restoration brings the lost and forgotten NPCs of GTA: San Andreas back to life! Using the Model Variations system, 
this mod adds unreleased beta peds to the game without replacing existing ones, ensuring a stable, crash-free experience.
This mod also includes new variations for Army and SWAT units. These models aren’t strictly “beta,” with the exception of SWAT2, which is a true beta ped.
The extra variations are included to expand variety, improve immersion, and keep law enforcement encounters visually diverse.
Requires Model Variations.

Features:
- Adds multiple beta ped models across all ped groups.

- Variations spawn naturally in traffic, gangs, and missions.

- Works seamlessly in interiors.

- Fully compatible with other ped mods using Model Variations.

- No crashes from misconfigured peds—bad configs are simply ignored.

- Hot-reload support: just press F6 in-game after editing or adding configs.

Why Model Variations?
Model Variations is the cleanest, safest, and most efficient way to add new peds in GTA: San Andreas. 
Unlike the old method using PEDS.ide and PEDSGRP.dat, which is extremely fragile, one typo, missing ID, 
or misconfigured group can crash the game—Model Variations handles everything smoothly.
Not only that, but variations can also spawn during missions without you editing MAIN.scm.

If you already have other entries inside ModelVariations_Peds.ini, you’ll need to carefully merge the configs together. 
Make sure all sections and variations are combined properly so nothing gets overwritten or skipped.

For convenience, I included a pre-merged configuration inside the .Bonus folder.
This version is fully compatible with my other mod, Proper Gangs Implementation, 
and ensures all gang variations and beta peds work together without conflicts.
