GTA Vice City - 48% Ultimate Starter Save
========================================================

Thank you for downloading this save file! This file places you right before the very first story mission ("The Party") with 48% of the game already completed. All accessible side missions, collectibles, and stunt jumps are done. 

--------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------------

1. Extract the downloaded .zip or .rar archive.
2. Locate the save file inside. It will be named something like `GTAVCsf5.b`.
3. Navigate to your GTA Vice City save directory. On Windows, this is usually located at:
   
   Documents\GTA Vice City User Files
   
  

4. IMPORTANT: If you already have a save file in the slot you are trying to use (e.g., you already have your own GTAVCsf5.b), back it up first! Copy your old file to another folder so you don't lose your personal progress.
5. Move the downloaded `.b` save file into the save directory.
6. Launch GTA Vice City, go to the "Load Game" menu, and select the new save file. 

--------------------------------------------------------
CHANGING THE SAVE SLOT
--------------------------------------------------------
If you don't want to overwrite an existing save in Slot 1, you can simply rename the file before you copy it into your Documents folder. 

Change the number in `GTAVCsf5.b` to any number between 1 and 8 (e.g., `GTAVCsf2.b` or `GTAVCsf8.b`). This number corresponds exactly to the save slot in the game's load menu.
