Using cheats in GTA 4 is as simple 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.
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 has.
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.
If you did use a cheat, don't worry – achievements can be easily re-enabled. You don't need to restart the game from the beginning. 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.
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.
Before diving into mods, back up your game files in case something goes wrong. Make sure GTA 4 is updated to the latest version.
Most GTA 4 mods rely on Script Hook to work. Here’s how to set it up:
Find mods that interest you. Popular sites include:
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.
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.
GTA 4 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
