How To Use Cheats in GTA 4
Activating cheats in *GTA IV* is as straightforward as dialing a phone number. Just follow these steps:
- Pull out Niko's phone by pressing Up on the D-pad (or the corresponding key on your keyboard).

- Once entered, the cheat is saved in your phone under "Cheats," allowing you to reactivate it without redialing.
Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?
Unlike some other *GTA* titles, *GTA IV* doesn't feature a direct money cheat. To amass wealth, engage in missions, side missions, and other in-game jobs.
Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies
Be aware that using cheat codes in *GTA IV* will disable achievements (on Xbox and PC) and trophies (on PS3) for the current session. Any cheat, whether 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 used cheats and want to re-enable achievements or trophies, follow these simple steps:
- Save your game.
- Close *GTA IV*.
- Restart the game without activating any cheats.
Your achievements and trophies will function normally again, as this restriction only applies to the session where cheats were used. Keep your cheat-filled adventures separate from your achievement runs.
Modding in GTA 4
While cheats add fun to the game, mods can elevate your *GTA IV* experience to new heights. Here's a quick guide on how to mod *GTA IV*:
Step 1: Prepare Your Game
- Back up your game files to safeguard against potential issues.
- Ensure *GTA IV* is updated to the latest version.
Step 2: Install Script Hook
Most mods require Script Hook to function. Here's how to install it:
- Download Script Hook for *GTA IV* from GTAinside.com.
- Extract the downloaded files.
- Copy the Script Hook files into your *GTA IV* directory (where the GTAIV.exe file is located).
Step 3: Download Mods
Choose mods that pique your interest from popular sites like:
- **GTAInside**
- **GTAForums**
- **Nexus Mods**
Download the mod files and follow the instructions, usually involving copying files into your *GTA IV* folder.
Note: Always research the mods you're downloading to ensure they are safe.
Step 4: Launch and Enjoy
Start 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 there you have it—all the *GTA IV* cheat codes and a guide to modding the game.
*GTA IV is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
