Step by step: GTA San Andreas girlfriends
Treat this as a checklist on the first run and a reminder on every run after:
Before you start: an hour or two per full set; the Sonar Collections Dock or a submarine for anything underwater.
- Open the Rockstar Social Club or the in-game Awards tab to see how many items are already counted.
- Use the in-game map waypoint for each item and the expanded minimap to confirm the exact spot.
- Save after each region so a crash does not cost a full session.
- Claim the reward: some unlocks need a phone call or a mission to trigger after the final item.
