I would like to present to you not only the preservation itself (knowing the necessary technique, a similar result can be achieved in twenty minutes), but an easy and absolutely honest way to provide yourself with enough money at any time during the passage, which does not require the use of cheats, trainers or programs for editing in-game memory, and therefore suitable for any platform.
In this save, no mission was completed, except for the side quest Cone Crazy - a test of driving skills that takes place on the top level of a multi-storey car park Washington Avenue , located very close to the hotel building Ocean View (the main character's first hideout). To complete it, you must be driving a muscle car Stalin (who will be waiting for you on the spot) pass through certain marks in a limited time without crushing the protective cones. As a reward, you will receive 200 virtual dollars. The first time you break your record, your reward will be $400, the second time - $800, the third time - $1600, and so on. Thus, to get one hundred thousand dollars you need to break eight records (which is not at all difficult), to get a million - twelve, ten million - fifteen, one hundred million - eighteen. In order for this to be possible, your next record must be as close as possible to the previous one, otherwise you will run into a situation too early where it will be too difficult for you to beat your time (or even impossible, since the car has its own speed limits). I will add that in order to break eighteen records you will need to meet at least ten seconds, which, in principle, is not such a difficult task.
The mission starts at 23:30
I have no doubt that I am not the only person who knows about this method, but there are probably others who are not aware and who may find it useful. In any case, thanks for your attention!
