About this mod
By applying this starter save to your game, you can fully experience a true New Game + experience, by having all available assets and upgrades next to collectibles at the beginning of the game. This way you don't have to grind for upgrades and collectibles which aren't necessary to complete after the first playthrough.
- Permissions and credits
If you want to start a new playthrough, but don’t want to grind again for skills, upgrades and assets, you can apply this save game made by me, which starts off at the North Point Safehouse after the first 4 story missions and one mandatory favor are passed. Only the intro, 2 additional story missions and one favor are mandatory to unlock free roam, but the reason why I completed the 4th story mission (Stick Up and Delivery), is because the mission marker covered the car dealer in southern North Point, so I wasn’t able to purchase vehicles from that dealer. You can easily replay the 3 missions after the intro from the Social Club menu so that feature negates the issue of having to complete it for the first time.
The save file includes:
-all cop skills acquired;
-all triad skills acquired;
-Face level 10;
-all vehicles which were available for purchase at the beginning of the game are bought, the rest of the vehicles will get unlocked as you progress the game;
-all clothing items which were available for purchase at the beginning of the game are bought, as well as all of the clothing options unlocked through lockboxes are acquired, the rest of the clothing items will get unlocked as you progress the game;
-all health shrines have been prayed upon, all lockboxes are unlocked and all red envelopes are collected. Despite all of these collectibles granting meaningful and useful rewards, I feel like collecting them on every single playthrough is unnecessary. I decided to leave cameras unhacked because many cameras are tied to Drug Busts, and I love the hacking mini-game attached to them. As for the Jade Statues, only 8 out of 11 of them were collected unfortunately, because the remaining 3 statues are tied to specific story missions and a favor which unlocks the gambling den in which the statue is located. You will collect them as soon as you reach the respective missions they appear in;
-melee upgrades aren’t acquired unfortunately because Sifu’s martial arts school isn’t available at the beginning of the game. I didn’t want to do more story missions just so I can unlock the school, but once you do unlock it (which is pretty quickly and early in the story), you can do 8 trainings at a very fast pace (one training for each statue that you have).
-the remaining HK$2.527.142 are more than enough to purchase any sort of consumables you want to get around the city.
To apply the savegame, go to your Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition game directory and find the folder called “data”, and just paste the save file there. Before that, extract it with programs such as WinRAR or 7zip. This is the only proper NG+ save you can find anywhere on the internet, so you can enjoy the great parts of the game like story missions, jobs, favors, races etc, without worrying about collectibles and power grind.
