Using GTA IV Cheats:
Activating cheats is simple: Access Niko's phone (using the Up directional button or equivalent keyboard key), open the keypad, dial the code, press "Call," and the cheat is activated. Activated cheats are saved in the 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 game session. To re-enable them, save, quit, and restart GTA IV without using cheats.
Modding GTA IV:
While cheats enhance gameplay, modding offers a significantly deeper level of customization. However, modding older games like GTA IV can be challenging.
Modding Steps:
- Game 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: Find and download mods from reputable sources like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods. Always verify the safety and legitimacy of downloaded mods.
- Launch and Enjoy: Mods usually install automatically; check the mod description for activation instructions.
GTA IV is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
