Whether you need a quick health boost, want to unleash vehicular mayhem, or simply fancy experimenting with a range of weaponry, this guide has you covered. These codes function identically across all platforms – PC, Xbox, and PlayStation – accessed via Niko's in-game phone.

How to Use Cheats in GTA 4

Activating cheats in GTA 4 is as simple as making a phone call. Access Niko's phone (using the Up button on the D-pad or the equivalent keyboard key), then use the keypad to dial the desired code. Once dialed, the cheat is activated and saved in your phone's "Cheats" menu for easy reactivation.

Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?

Unfortunately, a dedicated money cheat is absent in GTA 4. Players seeking quick cash should rely on completing missions and side jobs.

Cheats and Achievements/Trophies

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

Modding in GTA 4

While cheats enhance gameplay, mods offer a significantly deeper level of customization. However, modding older games like GTA 4 can be challenging.

Step 1: Game Preparation

Before modding, back up your game files and ensure GTA 4 is fully updated.

Step 2: Installing Script Hook

Most GTA 4 mods require Script Hook. Download it from GTAinside.com, extract the files, and copy them into your GTA 4 directory (where GTAIV.exe is located).

Step 3: Downloading Mods

Explore reputable sites like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods for suitable mods. Follow the provided installation instructions; usually, this involves copying files into your GTA 4 folder. Always research mods for safety before downloading.

Step 4: Launch and Enjoy

Start the game. Properly installed mods should activate automatically; some may require specific key combinations. Refer to the mod's description for details.

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