Copy the .cs script file and paste it directly into the root of the com.rockstargames.gta3 folder (or into the cleo subfolder if your CLEO APK utilizes one).

Ensure the entire /CLEO folder is placed in the correct directory ( .../files/GTA3/CLEO ), and that the swimming script ( .cs file) is inside that folder. Additionally, if you installed a car swimming mod without an accompanying player swimming script, exiting the vehicle in deep water will cause a crash-to-desktop.

But for 20 years, both the original PC/PS2 version and the official mobile port have shared one infuriating flaw:

Ensure your mod matches your game version. Updates to Android often require updated CLEO scripts to prevent crashes on startup.
