How To Use Cheats in GTA 4
Activating cheats in *GTA 4* is as simple as making a phone call. Here's how:
- 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 the cheat is activated! Once entered, the cheat is saved in your phone under "Cheats," allowing you to reactivate it easily by selecting it from the list.
Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?
Surprisingly, *GTA 4* does not offer a direct money cheat. To earn cash quickly, engage in missions, side missions, and other in-game jobs.
Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies
The use of cheat codes in *GTA 4* disables achievements on Xbox and PC, and trophies on PS3 for the current play session. Any cheat, whether for health, weapons, or vehicle spawning, will prevent new achievements or trophies from being unlocked until the game is restarted.
How To Re-Enable Achievements/Trophies
If you've used cheats and want to resume earning achievements or trophies, follow these steps:
- Save your game.
- Close *GTA 4*.
- Restart the game without activating any cheats. Achievements and trophies will function normally again. This effect is temporary and only applies to the session where cheats were used. Keep your cheat-filled fun separate from your serious runs if you're trophy hunting.
Modding in GTA 4
While cheats add fun to the game, mods can transform your experience entirely, offering endless new content. However, modding can be challenging, especially for older games like *GTA 4*. Here's a quick guide to get you started:
Step 1: Prepare Your Game
- Back up your game files to avoid potential issues.
- Ensure *GTA 4* is updated to the latest version.
Step 2: Install Script Hook
Most *GTA 4* mods require Script Hook:
- Download Script Hook for *GTA 4* from GTAinside.com.
- Extract the downloaded files.
- Copy the Script Hook files into your *GTA 4* directory (where GTAIV.exe is located).
Step 3: Download Mods
Explore mods on popular sites like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods:
- Download the mod files and follow the provided instructions, usually involving copying files into your *GTA 4* folder.
- Ensure the mods you download are safe by researching them thoroughly.
Step 4: Launch and Enjoy
Start the game, and if the mod is installed correctly, it should load automatically. Some mods may require specific key combinations to activate, so refer to the mod's description for details.
And there you have it—all the *GTA 4* cheat codes and a guide to modding to enhance your gaming experience. *GTA 4* is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
