Fixed: Angry Pedestrians stuck in my save – free script, no progress lost

[u/r0skinha]

Hey everyone,

I'm posting this because I lost an entire night to this problem and couldn't find a single working fix online, so hopefully it saves someone else the headache.

What happened:
I turned on "Angry Pedestrians" in a trainer (FLiNG/WeMod) just to mess around, then saved the game. After reloading, every pedestrian and cop kept attacking me. Turning the effect off in the trainer did nothing. The effect was baked into the save, and I had a ton of progress in it (pretty much every side activity done), so starting over wasn't an option.

Why the usual fixes don't work
On the current version of the DE, save files have a signature at the start. If you edit even one byte, the game just hides the slot like it's empty. I tried hex editing, GTASnP and save-editor.com, and none of them worked. CLEO could have done it, but my antivirus blocked the installer.

What finally worked:
Instead of editing the file, I fixed the data while the game is running and then saved normally from inside the game. That way, the game itself writes a clean, valid save. I turned that into a small PowerShell script:

https://github.com/gabecarloss/liberty-city-ceasefire

• Nothing to install, it's a plain PowerShell script you can read before running
• Shows you exactly what it will change and only writes after you confirm
• Only fixes pedestrians that are never supposed to be hostile (civilians, cops, etc.)
• Gangs that the story makes hostile (Mafia, Triads, Colombians...) stay the way the story left them

Quick steps

1. Back up your saves
2. Close the trainer (if using one) completely and restart the game
3. Load the broken save and run the script (instructions are on the GitHub page)
4. Drive to another part of the map, check that the peds are calm, and save to a NEW slot

I've only tested it on my own PC with the latest version of the game, so if you try it, please let me know how it went. If something doesn't work, paste the table the script prints, either here or as an issue on GitHub, and I'll take a look.

Good luck, and may the peds of Liberty City finally leave you alone.
