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 the cheat is active. Activated cheats are saved in your phone's "Cheats" menu for easy re-activation.
Important Note: Cheats Disable Achievements/Trophies
Using cheats disables achievements (Xbox, PC) and trophies (PS3) for the current session. To re-enable them, save your game, close GTA IV, and restart without using cheats. Achievement/trophy functionality will resume normally.
Modding GTA IV:
While cheats enhance gameplay, modding offers a deeper level of customization. However, modding older games like GTA IV can be challenging.
Modding Steps:
- Prepare Your Game: Back up your game files and ensure GTA IV is updated.
- Install Script Hook: Download Script Hook from GTAinside.com, extract the files, and copy them into your GTA IV directory.
- Download Mods: Explore reputable sites like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods. Download and install mods according to their instructions. Always verify the safety and legitimacy of downloaded mods.
- Launch and Enjoy: Start the game; mods should load automatically. Check the mod description for activation instructions.
GTA IV is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
