Activating Cheats:
Activating cheats is simple. Access Niko's phone (Up on the D-pad or equivalent key), open the keypad (Up again), dial the code, press Call, and the cheat is activated. Activated cheats are saved under "Cheats" in the phone menu for easy re-activation.
Important Note on Achievements/Trophies: Using cheats disables achievements (Xbox, PC) and trophies (PS3) for the current session. To re-enable them, save, close GTA 4, and restart without using cheats.
Beyond Cheats: Modding GTA IV
While cheats offer a quick boost, modding significantly expands GTA IV's capabilities. However, modding older games can be challenging.
Modding Steps:
- Preparation: Back up your game files and ensure GTA IV is fully updated.
- Script Hook Installation: Download Script Hook from GTAinside.com, extract the files, and copy them into your GTA IV directory.
- Mod Download: Explore reputable sites like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods for mods. Always verify the safety and legitimacy of downloaded mods.
- Installation & Launch: Follow the mod's instructions (usually simple file copying). Launch the game; mods typically load automatically, though some may require specific key combinations.
GTA IV is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
