Assassin's Creed 3: How To Mod Money

Horizon - Xbox Xbox Gaming
1

Hey guys,

After a quick Google search, you might find that the hex editing method of previous Assassin’s Creed games still works.

For those of you that need a Barney tutorial on the subject, (Like me) here is how you can safely mod money without corrupting your save:

What you need:

Horizon
USB Stick / Hard Drive Cable
Hex Editor (Hex Workshop is what I used for this tutorial, and can be found here: Hex Workshop - CNET Download.com )

Step 1: Open your Savegame
Step 2: Make a note of how much money you have (In this case: 23,433)
Step 3: Exit the main menu
Step 4: Dashboard
Step 5: Move your Savegame A (Normally “Assassin’s Creed III 1A”) to your PC
Step 6: Open Horizon
Step 7: Drag and drop your Savegame into the working area
Step 8: Go to Contents and Extract ASSASSINSCREED3SAVEGAME1A
Step 9: Open Hex Workshop
Step 10: Go to File > Open > ASSASSINSCREED3SAVEGAME1A
Step 11: Go to Tools > Base Converter

Step 12: You should be using Byte Order: Raw Hex and Data Type: Unsigned Short

Step 13: Enter the amount of money you have (23,433) into the Decimal area.

Step 14: Take the Hex Field (5B89) and perform a Byte Flip (5B89 becomes 895B)

Step 15: Go back to the Hex Editor, do a CTRL + F for Find, and search for 1D<your
hex value> so it will look like 1D895B

Step 16: In the Lower Right-Hand box, you should see that there is only 1 instance of that value, and the value should be highlighted in Yellow in the main hex area.

Step 17: Change 1D895B to 1DFFFF

Step 18: Save the file

Step 19: Go back to Horizon and Replace ASSASSINSCREED3SAVEGAME1A in your Save file with the new save that we just edited.

Step 20: Save, Rehash, and Resign.

You should have around 65K now.

Note: To edit more than 65k, you will need to have more than 68k in your savegame. Once you reach this threshold, the process is the same, except that there will be 3 bytes of data instead of just 2, so you will need to ensure that your Byte Flip is done properly.

As always, back up your original save, just incase you need to revert back and avoid losing any data.

That’s pretty cool. Nice job finding it! (:

How do I mod more than 65 thousand… I have 80 thousand and I flip the 3 and it says error must have even amout of numbers something like that?

Good Tutorial. & Thanks for the share.

For this example, I’ll assume that we’re working with exactly 68,000.

You need to be using the unsigned Long Hex to get the right value. (000109A0)

Then take away the first two 0’s so it will look like 0109A0

Once you do that, perform the Byte Flip by using the last byte first, then the middle, then the first.

So it will look like this: A00901

Then search for D1A00901, and change it to D1FFFFFF

my current money is 88701 could you show me steps to do that?

7

Search for 1D7D5A01 and replace it with 1DFFFFFF

8

Says its not there…

Help lol

9

You might try searching 1D7D and making sure that there are only 1 match, otherwise, you might try getting more money in-game and trying again later.

10

I found that 1D7D what do i do now?

11

Change it to 1D FF FF FF

12

xbox freezes…

13

Re-load your backup, and try again when you have a different amount of money. I just edited an amount of 83453 and was able to search and find the value with no problems.

I just booted up the save, and I am now at 16,777,215.

14

Can you do this one for me the flip around thing here in the value i removed the two zeros…

014610

15

just been following this topic and i noticed that when your money gets to this stage, you put D1 instead on 1D, was that right or just a typing mistake?

16

it should be 104601

17

I for the life of my can’t find the value in the hex editor for the 68K plus mod… I’ve tried about 6 different values, all at 68K plus, and it never finds the value. I believe that I am doing the conversion properly… Can anyone help?

Cheers

When you press CTRL + F press hex values instead of text string.

But still, when i change it, it still doesnt work for me :confused:

19

Thanks for the reply, but I’ve had the Type as Hex Value. Everything worked fine when I did the smaller amount.

So what did you change it to?
