Using Cheats:
Activating cheats is as simple as making a call. Access Niko's phone (Up on the D-pad or equivalent keyboard key), open the keypad (Up again), dial the code, press Call, and enjoy! Entered cheats are saved under "Cheats" in the phone for easy reactivation.
Money Cheat Absence:
Unlike some GTA titles, GTA IV lacks a dedicated money cheat. Earn your fortune legitimately through missions and side jobs.
Achievement/Trophy Impact:
Using cheats disables achievements (Xbox, PC) and trophies (PS3) for the current session. To re-enable them, save, exit, and restart the game without using cheats.
Modding GTA IV:
While cheats enhance gameplay, modding takes it further. However, modding older games like GTA IV can be challenging.
Modding Steps:
- Preparation: Back up your game files and ensure GTA IV is updated.
- Script Hook Installation: Download Script Hook from GTAinside.com, extract, and copy the files to your GTA IV directory.
- Mod Download: Explore reputable sites like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods. Download and follow the installation instructions for each mod. Always verify the safety and legitimacy of downloaded mods.
- Launch: Start the game; mods should load automatically (check mod descriptions for activation keys if needed).
GTA IV is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
