How To Use Cheats in GTA 4

Using cheats in GTA 4 is as simple as making a phone call – quite literally.

To activate a cheat, pull out Niko’s phone by pressing Up on the D-pad (or the corresponding key on your keyboard). Then, press Up again to bring up the keypad. Dial the cheat code number you want to use, and hit Call. The cheat will be activated instantly! Once you've entered a cheat, it's conveniently saved in your phone under "Cheats," so you can reactivate it without dialing the number again.

Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?

Interestingly, GTA 4 does not feature a direct money cheat like some other GTA titles. If you're eager to amass wealth quickly, you'll need to earn it the old-fashioned way through missions, side missions, and other in-game jobs.

Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies

A crucial point to remember is that using cheat codes in GTA 4 will disable achievements (on Xbox and PC) and trophies (on PS3) for the current play session. Activating any cheat, whether it's for health, weapons, or vehicle spawning, will prevent you from unlocking new achievements or trophies until you restart the game.

How To Re-Enable Achievements/Trophies

If you've indulged in some cheating but want to resume your trophy hunt, there's no need to start over. Just follow these easy steps to get back on track:

Save your game, exit GTA 4, and restart it without activating any cheats. Upon restarting, achievements and trophies will function normally again. This restriction is only temporary and applies solely to the session where cheats were used. So, keep your cheat-filled fun separate from your serious gameplay if you're aiming for those trophies.

Modding in GTA 4

While cheats can enhance your gaming experience, mods can elevate it to new heights. With mods, you can introduce a wealth of new content to GTA 4, ensuring you'll never run out of things to explore. However, modding older games like GTA 4 can be challenging. Here's a straightforward guide on how to mod GTA 4.

Step 1: Prepare Your Game

Before you dive into the world of mods:

Back up your game files to protect against any mishaps. Ensure GTA 4 is updated to its latest version.

Step 2: Install Script Hook

Most GTA 4 mods rely on Script Hook to function properly. Here's how to set it up:

Download Script Hook for GTA 4 from GTAinside.com. Extract the downloaded files. Copy the Script Hook files into your GTA 4 directory (where the GTAIV.exe file resides).

Step 3: Download Mods

Explore and select mods that catch your eye. Popular platforms include:

GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods. Download the mod files and carefully follow the included instructions. Typically, it involves copying files into your GTA 4 folder.

Note: Always research the mods you are downloading to ensure they are safe.

Step 4: Launch and Enjoy

Launch the game. If the mod is correctly installed, it should load automatically. Some mods may require specific key combinations to activate, so refer to the mod description for details.

And that covers all the GTA 4 cheat codes you need to know.

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