Tips
I created three forum topics devoted to VC tips. To submit a tip, just post it to the appropriate thread. Please read the first message in the thread before posting. Mission Tips - (Anything from a full mission walkthrough to a useful tip on how to accomplish a particular mission. This includes robberies, timed, and side missions (taxi, paramedic, fire, pizza, vigilante, etc)). Miscellaneous Tips & Tricks (Anything from how to do a stunt, where to find a helicopter, item locations, or just random fun things to do in Vice City.) Observations & Glitches (Anything from Easter eggs, to weird ped comments, game glitches, in-game references to other games in the GTA series, or anything that really isn't a tip but you think needs pointing out.) Please post all your questions in the following thread. Questions & Answers - (Post any questions you have here, or answer someone else's question if you feel so inclined. Please do not post questions in the tip threads)
Hidden Package & Stunt Locations
MrSlayerJenkins created maps showing the locations of the hidden packages and the unique stunts. GameSpot has a more complete selection of maps with locations for just about everything in the game. Hidden Packages Unique Stunts
PC Cheats
Enter these codes during regular game play. Enter again to turn off the effect. Rockstar recommends that you do not save your game with any cheat codes active. If you do save, I suggest using a different save slot and then reload to test for problems. I do not have any information on a money cheat, but I will post it assuming one is ever found.

Feel free to ask questions, post feedback, and that sort of thing in the cheat code discussion thread. I've just been informed that most, if not all the cheats listed here were originally hacked by The GFCC.
