About this mod
darkseol had a great file for the 100 Percent Assets and Collectibles Collected (for the main game), but he forgot the safehouse upgrades. I went back and got all 16 of the safehouse upgrades and saved the file again before I used a well-known glitch to reset the game back to just before the story mission Stick Up & Delivery.

darkseol had a great file for the 100 Percent Assets and Collectibles Collected (for the main game), but he forgot the safehouse upgrades.
I went back and got all 16 of the safehouse upgrades and saved the file again before I used a well-known glitch to reset the game back to just before the Triad story mission Stick Up & Delivery.
Before we go on, there are two save files for this download — HK2.sav and HK3.sav (second and third slots, respectively). HK2 is New Game Plus (you start the game from Stick Up & Delivery) while HK3 has all the missions completed (except for a few minor Calvin tasks, which I neglected to chase down). Since your Face Level is already maxxed out, there's no need for it, and the GOG version (my version) doesn't have achievements to chase anyway.
• • • AND NOW BACK TO THE GOOD PART (insert Michael Bolton's face here) • • •
The glitch is (which you can do with your own saves, if you want to) is fairly well known — it basically "resets" your story progress (keeping all your upgrades, assets, and collectibles) to right after completing "Night Market Chase". You go into the Social Hub, select Night Market Chase, and after talking to Kwan, but before approaching Ming (which starts a chase sequence), you have Wei Shen head away from the objective to deliberately fail the mission.
If done correctly (some players have mentioned that bringing up Wei's phone to look at the Files & Records as he walks away to trigger the mission failure / retry mission screen), the game will freeze on a black screen, and the autosave icon will appear on the upper right hand corner of your screen.
You quit the Sleeping Dogs executable, and boot the game up again. Load the "autosave" (from the Night Market Chase replay), and it will pop you back into the game with that mission done, all your upgrades from the file where you attempted the old mission replay, but your story progress will be very near the beginning of the game.
Apparently, some guy found this out, posted on a GameFAQs forum, but it's long buried now (if you find it, I suggest you link to it).
