Customization in GTA: San Fierro Stories

This is an article about the customization features in the fan fiction game concept Grand Theft Auto: San Fierro Stories. San Andreas level customization has returned and the player can now customize Jack's clothing, haircut and tattos. As well as changing muscle and fat stats by working out or eating excessivley and not working out. Car customization and weapon skill also return.

Note: This page is incomplete as more clothes may be added at a later date.

Weapon Skill
Weapon skill returns from San Andreas. All weapons except explosives and heavy weapons can be upgraded in skill. For melee weapons more damage will be added to each attack and for all guns you will receive an accuracy and reload speed upgrade as you level up. There are 3 levels of mastery.

Punk: The level you start on each weapon. Almost no mastery at all.

Gangsta: You have obviously been practicing. You now have increased accuracy with your weapon of choice and a slight reload speed enhancement.

Master: The highest level of skill. You have mastered this weapon and now have an accuracy upgrade and even more of a reload speed increase. And you may now dual wield selected weapons.

Character Stats
Jack has the ability to gain and lose from certain stats as you progress through the game. And his physical appearance is altered but not as extreme as San Andreas. For example, If you fill up the fat bar Jack will only appear slightly overweight and his running speed will be decreased a little. Same goes for Muscle, If you fill the muscle bar Jack will be pretty buff but not as buff as CJ would be. This is only to keep the game on a somewhat serious note because San Andreas was pretty ridiculous at times with how fat or buff CJ could become.

Muscle: Working out increases your level of muscle, This changes Jack's appearance and also increases the amount of damage done with every melee attack.

Fat: Eating excessively and not working out increases your fat level. Eating is no longer mandatory like in SA but does provide you with a health boost.

Stamina: Stamina is developed by working out, Running and riding bike more often. It determines how long you can run and bike and developing stamina is directly related to your fat level. The more you develop stamina the more your level of fat will go down. Its impossible to have full fat and full stamina.

Lung capacity: Lung capacity returns from San Andreas and determines how long you can dive underwater without losing health.

Sex appeal: Sex appeal is determined by your clothing and body composition. This skill helps you achieve more progress with girlfriends faster.

Driving skill: Driving skill is upgraded by driving. It improves the handling of all four wheel vehicles and when maxed out gives a speed boost to high performance vehicles.

Bike skill: Your skill on two wheeled vehicles. Makes it harder to fall off bikes and improves the handling.

Fighting skill: Fighting skill is improved through hand to hand combat. As it improves you gain opportunities to learn new moves at gyms found throughout the game.

Food
