Story and contact missions
Complete all required story branches and the missions from contacts that appear as separate icons on the map.
GTA Vice City at 100%: a checklist without a missing percentage point
The credits are not the end. A 100% save requires the story, businesses, side services, collectibles and one-off challenges.
Keep your own record from the start. For some activities, the game does not show exactly which specific item is missing; searching afterwards for the last package or jump is considerably slower.
Main checklist
Categories to complete systematically
Businesses and asset missions
Buy the required properties and complete their chains. Do not mistake a purchased safehouse for a completed profitable business.
100 hidden packages
Record each package against a numbered map. Rewards unlock after every ten, and all 100 count towards completion.
Rampages
Timed challenges with a specified weapon and target. If you activate one and fail it, return to the same place later.
Unique Stunt Jumps
The game must explicitly confirm success. Simply crossing the ramp is not enough; the trajectory and landing matter.
Vigilante, Paramedic, Firefighter and Pizza Boy
Complete service missions in one continuous sequence up to the required level. An interruption usually means starting again.
Taxi and other vehicle activities
Long-term statistics and specific races or checkpoints also count. Check the Stats menu.
Shooting range and stadium
Visiting the activity is not enough; you need the required score or completion of all relevant stadium events.
When you have 99%
The most commonly missed items
Check the statistics
Compare the package, Rampage and jump totals with the checklist. Do not guess from the map what you probably completed.
Check businesses without an income icon
A purchased building may look complete, but it does not generate money until its condition has been met.
Return to the shooting range and stadium
It is easy to mistake one-off scores and events for optional entertainment.
Be careful with a modded main.scm
A save created with another version of the main script may have different progress flags. Use a consistent installation for a 100% run.
Frequently asked questions
Direct answers
Do I need to use every cheat for 100%?
No. Cheats are not a completion requirement, and it is better not to use them during a clean 100% playthrough.
Are the credits the same as 100%?
No. The end credits conclude the story, while 100% requires additional collectibles and side activities.
