*If you have a wanted level, no matter how big it is, save at your safehouse. As soon as you exit the save menu, the wanted level will immediately be gone. (This especially works at the [[Middle Park East Safehouse]], since the cops can't follow you inside). You don't even really need to save, just access the bed. Note that time will still advance by 6 hours. | *If you have a wanted level, no matter how big it is, save at your safehouse.

*Most of Niko's girlfriends and male friends provide some sort of service or benefit for reaching close to 100% friendship, so it's advisable to get there as soon as possible (especially Little Jacob for his gun car, Roman for his taxi and Dwayne for his backup, though most of the perks are valuable in some way). Once 100% is achieved it is ''no longer necessary'' to continually go on outings or dates. Girlfriends will send text messages that can be ignored, and friends will call. In terms of the phone calls, as long as you ''always agree'' to an outing and then immediately call back and choose "Cancel Plans", you can avoid any friendship penalty. The only way to get a penalty is if you ''initiate'' a date/outing and then either don't turn up within the allotted hour (or are late), or you then cancel. You will also be penalized if you phone a friend or date at an inappropriate time, so when you're building up to 100%, or if you wish to continue relationships, be sure to learn when they're available (noting what times they call or text is a good clue). | *Most of Niko's girlfriends and male friends provide some sort of service or benefit for reaching close to 100% friendship, so it's advisable to get there as soon as possible (especially Little Jacob for his gun car, Roman for his taxi and Dwayne for his backup, though most of the perks are valuable in some way).

* This tip applies to the DLC packs [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]: all of the parking places outside Niko's various safehouses remain available for storing vehicles in the DLCs, even though the safehouses themselves aren't accessible (except for Playboy X's penthouse). You can also use all of Johnny and Luis' parking spaces as well. | |||
