You are now able to recruit special characters after certain missions as a reward. But just like in Vice City. You have to pick them up from their locations. If they die or you try to kill them, they will get injury and notification says "(example)big bear is injured" and they will spawn back to their locations. If you left your friend behind, notification says "(example)you lost big bear" every friend of CJ has unique recruit quote when you recruit them.

How to install:
1-you need cleo and modloader to install this mod.
2-Put "Cleo" and "Modloader" folders to game's main directory Note:LB.cs and dope.cs wont work if you dont install lb and dope skins from modloader folder.

Big Bear:
Accourding the Game Files, Big Bear were able to recruit as a special character. So in this mod, after "Beat down B-Dup" mission Big Bear is avalible to recruit near b-dup's apartment in ganton. He will be useful in gang wars to unlock final mission. He'll say "Alright im down with that" with his own voice to you when you recruited him. Also you can use fat big bear instead thin one as optional.
Cesar:
Accourding trailer shot, Maybe Cesar was avalible to recruit as a speacial character too. After Los Desperados Mission, Cesar is avalible to recruit with micro-smg. Just like other aztecas using micro-smg. Cesar dont attack aztecas unlike other friends of CJ. Unless, if they try to kill CJ, Cesar will save CJ.
csblue2 (he is lb in this mod):
Accourding to screenshot, csblue2 was avalible to recruit as a special character. I made him avalible to recruit after "Home invasion" mission. (First time ryder mentions LB in this mission). So LB is avalible to recruit near of his truck in ganton. Just like in this screenshot, he holds pistol. When you recruit him, he will say "He'll you my dog man"
Woozie
Woozie is avalible to recruit after "Home in the hills" mission. He will be in front of his safehouse in san fierro chinatown. He has his own "Blindman" walking style. He is holding Micro-smg just like in "Mountain Cloud Boys" mission
Sweet
Sweet is avalible after final mission of the game. He is holding AK47 just like in his final missions. He has his own walkstyle. You can pick him up from front of his house
Emmet
He is avalible after "Homecoming" mission. He is holding Desert eagle just like in Nines AK's mission and he has gang1 walkstyle just like in this mission. You can pick him up from his store
Dope
He is avalible after "Beat Down B-Dup" mission. I added small but nice detail for him. CJ shakes hands all of his friends except dope. If you recruit dope, CJ does "InviteYes" animation and Dope says generic dealer line "Yo partner im working man, whatchu need whatchu need dawg" while doing "gangchat" animation. He is holding pistol
OG Loc(Optional)
He may be betrayed Johnson Brothers. But he still alive and got Grove tattos for his gang. So he is avalible after "Cut throat business" mission. He is holding tec-9 just like in OG Loc mission. You can pick him up from front of his house.
Ryder(Optional)
He is avalible after final mission of the game. I know he dies. But Grove looks empty without him after the story. So i added him anyway as optional. He is holding tec-9 just like in missions.
Big Smoke(Optional)
He is avalible after final mission of the game. I know he dies. But Grove looks empty without him after the story. So i added him anyway as optional. He is holding tec-9 just like in missions. He has "Fatman" walkstyle"
