How To Use Cheats in GTA 4

Activating GTA 4 cheats is as simple as making a phone call. Access Niko's phone (Up on the D-pad or equivalent keyboard key), select the keypad (Up again), dial the code, hit Call, and the cheat is activated. Activated cheats are saved under "Cheats" in your phone for easy reactivation.

Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?

Unfortunately, a dedicated money cheat is absent in GTA 4. Focus on missions and side jobs for legitimate wealth accumulation.

Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies

Using cheats disables achievements (Xbox, PC) and trophies (PS3) for the current session. To re-enable them, save, close GTA 4, and restart without using cheats.

How To Re-Enable Achievements/Trophies

Saving your game, closing GTA 4, and restarting without using cheats will restore achievement/trophy functionality. This effect is limited to the session where cheats were used.

Modding in GTA 4

While cheats offer a fun boost, modding significantly expands the game's potential. However, modding older games can be challenging. Here’s a basic modding guide:

Step 1: Game Preparation

Back up your game files. Ensure GTA 4 is updated.

Step 2: Install Script Hook

Download Script Hook from GTAinside.com, extract the files, and copy them into your GTA 4 directory (where GTAIV.exe resides).

Step 3: Download Mods

Explore mods from reputable sources like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods. Follow the mod's installation instructions; typically, this involves copying files into your GTA 4 folder. Always verify the safety and legitimacy of downloaded mods.

Step 4: Launch and Enjoy

Start the game. Mods usually load automatically; check the mod description for activation instructions if needed.

GTA 4 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
