I messed up and I need help :(

After the 20th try of the boat I've inserted a cheat to use cars on water, I dumbly saved the game on another slot. I went back to a previous save, before the Checkpoint Charlie mission, before I inputed the cheat, Is my save game corrupted? do I have to restart from the beginning because of this bullshit I did, or I can safely achieve 100% in the save game that was PREVIOUS me input the cheat? 

 

When I load the previous file cars do not go on water anymore, but I really can't understand if the save corrupted files also backwards or just the one I saved after in a different slot is corrupted.

Provided you went back to an earlier save before where you entered the cheat and then went from there, you should be fine. It won't apply the cheat/penalty to an older save.

Besides, some cheats are fine to use and others give a small penalty to the criminal score. Given that the score needed for the trophy is 1,000,000 and the highest penalty is -1000, it's not the biggest hit. Just means a bit more grinding.

Ironically, the best way to increase that criminal score to the highest amount is to use cheats.

Edit: Just redownloaded the game and entered the cheat. Doesn't drop the criminal score rating so you're good either way.

I’ve obtained Take the Cannoli already. I did that first thing when i started the game. So my criminal rating isn’t a problem at all.

 

What i’m worried for is just 100%.
I’m kinda scared of doing all the stuff that i still have to do and find out in the very end that the 100% trophy is not popping
