Saves (GTA LCS)

This article aims to document the save file format of GTA LCS.

Data Blocks

• A save file consists of 5 blocks
• The first 4 bytes of the block contain a string describing the block ("SIMP", "SCRT", "GRGE", "PLYR" and "STAT")
• The next 4 bytes contain the size of the block
• Byte order is little endian. For example, the number 3452 (0x0D7C) is represented as 0x7C 0x0D in little endian.
