I assume GOTY includes all DLC listed in Steam under the [DLC pack](http://store.steampowered.com/sub/26227/). The only way I know about to actually "deactivate" a DLC is asking Steam support to _permanently_ remove it from your account without any refunds. So I can only give you a list of the benefits provided by the DLCs here and you have to be honest with yourself to not "use" them, e.g. always consider yourself to be 200k poorer than you are: * I'll skip the cars, clothes and weapons, since they shouldn't be difficult to notice - basically you don't own anything but a motorbike and your own clothes in the beginning * [Police Protection Pack](http://store.steampowered.com/app/215249): Apart from the SWAT stuff it adds the "High Speed" mission and gives you some police XP (not enough for a full point on its own though) * [The High Roller Pack](http://store.steampowered.com/app/215244): $200k and premature access to the Tuono vehicle and High Roller outfit * [Martial Arts Pack](http://store.steampowered.com/app/202191/) gives you slight Triad XP boost (again not enough for a point on its own, but still...) * [The Red Envelope Pack](http://store.steampowered.com/app/215243): those red envelopes scattered around town containing $50k each * [Top Dog Gold Pack](http://store.steampowered.com/app/215242) / [Top Dog Silver Pack](http://store.steampowered.com/app/215241): A total of both 8 police and triad skill points * [The Zodiac Tournament](http://store.steampowered.com/app/215258): That tournament So in summary, if you don't want to use the too severe DLC bonuses, don't collect the red envelopes and always leave $200k and 8 triad/police skill point unused... --- If you're on PC (or can somehow access the respective files on your console), you can remove/rename the respective files (and probably have to deactivate updates for the game) I found a list of the DLCs' respective filenames [here](http://steamcommunity.com/app/202170/discussions/0/846945955286761354/), extended by me on how cheat-y they are: > 1E6323E1.dat Top Dog Gold Pack # pure cheat > 576E446C.dat Top Dog Silver Pack # pure cheat > AC8D6F78.dat High Roller Pack # pure cheat > E58008F5.dat Red Envelope Pack # cheat, but you have to search them > E80C9CFE.dat police protection pack # swat clothes/vehicles, high speed mission (farm police XP) > 3E97A062.dat Tactical Soldier Pack # clothes & weapons > 8C79ECFB.dat Retro Triad Pack # clothes > 67EE992C.dat Martial Arts Pack # clothes, dummy, shaolin showdown mission (farm triad XP) > 81F578F0.dat Dragon Master Pack # collection of other DLC > 613E5E9C.dat Square Enix Character Pack # clothes > 849D8C70.dat Street Racer Pack # additional races > B41D5130.dat Community Gift Pack # ??? > BA29F60B.dat Ghost Pig Pack # clothes > CD90EBFD.dat Screen Legends Pack # clothes, sword > D500D5B5.dat Deep Undercover Pack # clothes, car, CB radio > F3249186.dat Gangland Style Pack # tattoos > FD1036BD.dat Valve T-Shirt Pack # clothes > 779AC7EF.dat SWAT Pack # cop mission (clothes?) > 5AE2D067.dat Drunken Fist Pack # clothes > 9ADD7588.dat Monkey King Pack # clothes, cloud-bike > 41CADD1F.dat Law Enforcer Pack # HKPD clothes & cars > 28333911.dat Movie Masters Pack # clothes > C8F81F7D.dat Triad Enforcer Pack # clothes, car > 7A1653E4.dat gsp pack # clothes > > Story DLC: > D3D01205.dat Wheels of Fury # mission for/with powerful car > E0E8FC75.dat Zodiac Tournament Pack > 13EFB7EA.dat Nightmare in North Point # separate from main game > ????????.dat Year of the Snake # separate from main game
