Side Missions in Saints Row IV are nothing more than a collection of activities and other side things you can do that are not part of Story or Loyalty missions. Note that you can complete these activities and other side things on your own and when you do the Side Missions, you won’t have to do them again.

Rather than have detailed walkthroughs for each mission, which would mostly be the same across all activities (saves space and time), only a list of the activities will be presented for each side mission, with a more detailed description of the activities in another section.
