I know there isn't a level select for any of the games and this question only applies to the first 2 since you can just save at the beginning of every mission and street sequence since there's no save limit.But in the first 2 there is and I plan on playing fan missions so it would be a good idea to use only quicksaves and use the main saves to,save at the beginning of each mission and use that to start from any mission with the full loot total so I can buy the necessary supplies. I have beaten all 3 games and I know I could just go through them all again,which I plan on doing soon anyway,but you know when you just wanna play that one special level well can you recommend anything on how I could do it or you do it if you do it.I would appreciate any help with this rather weird question.

You can make a savegame and then move the file to another folder for temporary storage to make space.
For regular T1/TG/T2, you can open USER.CFG in Notepad, turn off Word Wrap, and add the line:
starting_mission n
...where n is the number of the mission, and you will see the line at the top that lists the mission numbers in order of appearance. When you've made your choice, save the file and start the game to see if it's correct.
To play the Easter Egg Blooper Reel mission in Thief Gold, though, the number is 16. They only make you think it's 18.
When you are done, and want the game to play as normal, add a semicolon at the beginning of the line to disable it, turn off Word Wrap, and save:
;starting mission n
A harder way is to press ctrl+alt+shift+end to skip each mission you don't want, but you still have to click Continue at the final objectives screens, press Enter to skip the movies, click Continue at the difficulty choice/first objectives screens, click Play Mission at the store screens, for each mission to skip.:sweat:
