How To Use Cheats in GTA 4
Using cheats in *GTA 4* is as straightforward as making a phone call – literally. Pull out Niko's phone by pressing Up on the D-pad (or the corresponding key on your keyboard). Press Up again to access the keypad. Dial the cheat code number, hit Call, and voilà – the cheat is activated! Once you've entered a cheat, it's saved in your phone under "Cheats," so you don't have to dial the number again. Just select it from the list to reactivate it whenever you want.
Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?
Surprisingly, *GTA 4* doesn't have a direct money cheat like some other *GTA* games. If you're looking to rake in cash quickly, consider doing it the legit way through missions, side missions, and other jobs the game offers.
Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies
The biggest impact of using cheat codes in *GTA 4* is that achievements (on Xbox and PC) and trophies (on PS3) will be disabled for the current play session. This means if you activate any cheat code, whether it's for health, weapons, or even spawning a vehicle, you won't be able to unlock any new achievements or trophies until you restart the game.
How To Re-Enable Achievements/Trophies
If you did use a cheat, don't worry as the achievements can be easily enabled again. You don't need to restart the game from the beginning. Just follow these steps and you can continue as normal. Simply save your game, close *GTA 4*, and then restart it without activating any cheats. Once restarted, achievements and trophies will function normally again. This isn't permanent – it only affects the session where cheats were used. So, if you're trophy hunting, make sure to keep your cheat-filled fun separate from your serious runs.
Modding in GTA 4
While cheats can enhance your gameplay, mods can take it to the next level. You can add so much new content through mods that you'll never run out of things to do. However, modding can be challenging, especially for older games like *GTA 4*. Here's a quick guide on how to mod *GTA 4*.
Step 1: Prepare Your Game
Before diving into mods, back up your game files in case something goes wrong. Make sure *GTA 4* is updated to the latest version.
Step 2: Install Script Hook
Most *GTA 4* mods rely on Script Hook to work. 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 is located).
Step 3: Download Mods
Find mods that interest you. Popular sites include:
- GTAInside
- GTAForums
- Nexus Mods
Download the mod files and follow the included instructions. Usually, it's as simple as copying files into your *GTA 4* folder.
Note: Always research the mods you are downloading and make sure they are safe to download.
Step 4: Launch and Enjoy
Start the game. If the mod is installed correctly, it should load automatically. Some mods require specific key combinations to activate, so check the mod description for details.
And those are all the *GTA 4* cheat codes you need to know.
GTA 4 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
