Sorry for the down vote but a lot as to be changed in this guide. Some of the places you point are completely ambiguous and other are out of order from the course of events. My down vote is due to that only.

Yep, all good. Thanks for this.

FifthBloodHell, how about not downvoting and just sharing your opinion? Surely a downvote is for a solution that doesn't work, is not really a solution (i.e. just a description of the achievement) or is just something really poor. This is none of those things.

Number 46 can also be picked up during chapter 7 as it's on the kitchen table when the salesman is in the property.

This trophy can be done throughout the game.

Try to collect all the Playboys during the story campaign, because... It is impossible to collect magazines outside of it.

It is not necessary to complete the chapters. Once you have picked up the magazine, a save icon will appear in the corner at the top. As soon as he disappeared, and this was the last magazine in this chapter, you can exit this chapter and turn on the next one.

There is one bug with 46 magazine, it does not always appear in the 7th chapter. Therefore, you need to look for it on the table in your house at the beginning of the 8th chapter.
