Looks like it breaks down like this(this is big):
uint32 checksum
uint32 version
uint32 minor version (I think minor changes can still be loaded, so we can change something but still load old data)
int32 build version
65 characters for the level name, null terminated
uint64 object handle of the closest crib to the save(where you will come back when you load this save)
9 bytes(maybe 18 if unicode?) for save time
9 bytes(maybe 18 if unicode?) for save data
uint32 mission save description id
uint percent of game completed
this says game clock time:
uint16 current year
uint8 month
uint8 day
uint8 hour
uint8 minutes
uint8 seconds
uint8 day of week
uint8 moon day (number of days along the moon-phase cycle)
uint32 current day ticks with the following large comment:
// The current time of day. This maps to a 24 hour period, when the integer rolls over,
// a new day begins.
// Note: This is much more accurate than having a float that is incremented every
//frame by another float. For example, assuming 30fps and a non-scaled time,
//this method would be off by 15 frames, or half a second over a 24-hour period.
//If it just used floats, it would be off by 6068 frames, or 202 seconds! At
//120fps, this method is off by 53 seconds.
float elapsed seconds
uint32 elapsed seconds
uint32 bitfield for unlocked dlc packs when the save was made
bool has cheated
int number of saved cheats
array of 200 uint32 checksums for saved cheats

foreach collectible(24 of them I believe):
uint64 object handle of collectible
uint32 enum of collectible type (drug=0, money, sex doll, photo op)
// avatar appearance data
int32 number of morphs
for each of 128 possible morphs:
int32 instance index
float value
int32 hair color save buffer size
48 bytes for hair color save buffers
int32 number of active customizations
foreach customization possible(128):
uint32 checksum of item name
int32 variant id
uint32 enum of player slot(body=0, head hair, beard hair, eyebrows, mouth, headwear, facewear, eyewear, ear piercing, neck, bra, lower body, shoes, left wrist, right wrist, gloves, face piercing, suit, hat hair combined, privacy bar top, privacy bar bottom, parachute)
uint32 num shader values
9 uint32 checksum values for shaders (for hair values are paired for primary and secondary color)
int32 mesh id
uint8 gender enum (male = 0, female)
uint8 race enum (asian, blcok, hispanic, white)
uint32 player preset enum (average=0, slender, overweight, atheletic, obese, bodybuilder)
uint8 skin swatch index
int32 triangle slider x value
int32 triangle slider y value
513 uint8's for active composite layers

uint8 compliment
uint8 show parachute
uint8 unused
uint32 persona type
int32 facial expression
uint32 voice enum (male white=0, male black, male white accent, female white, female black, female latino, zombie)
512 bytes reserved for future use(might be in use for dlc, unknown)
uint32 difficulty level enum (casual = 0, normal, hardcore)
// gang customization
4 uint32 character crcs
4 uint32 category crcs
uint8 tag index
uint8 pose index
uint8 voice index
3 uint8 vehicle infos
// gameplay

uint8 completed levels in coop
uint32 num infos
uint64 activity trigger explorations
// hitman
uint32 number of saved hitman
for each target group(7 of them):
uint32 num targets
uint32 num completed targets
for each possible target(7 of them):
uint8 bitfield(completed, unlocked, targeted)
// chop shops
for each chop shop(5 of them):
uint32 checksum of shop name
uint32 wanted vehicle index
uint8 completed vehicle bitfield
bool unlocked
// challenges
for each challenge(41 of them):
