Hot Coffee Goes Cold
If you can't handle the pressure of knowing that somehow, someday, you may give in to temptation and download the Hot Coffee mod for your PC version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Rockstar Games has a solution for you.
This handy patch will prevent the Hot Coffee mod from making the game's ribald deleted content accessible, making your robbing, killing and maiming experience safe for family viewing. As Rockstar points out (in perhaps the clearest, most rational description we've seen to date):
If you play the game as bought in the store, without modifying it, you will not encounter the 'hot coffee' scenes. They are not accessible in the retail version of the game. Playing an unmodified installation of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas there is absolutely no way to gain access to the "Hot Coffee" scenes. It is only through the use of downloadable files or through direct, difficult, and intentional modification of various game files that these scenes become available.If you have no idea what we're talking about, don't sweat it, it's only the biggest video game story of the year, trumping even the Xbox 360 and PS3. Here's some background reading if you need to catch up.
