Using 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: Using cheats disables achievements and trophies for the current play session. To re-enable them, save your game, close GTA IV, and restart without using any cheats. Achievements will then function normally.
Modding GTA IV:
While cheats offer a quick boost, modding significantly expands gameplay possibilities. However, modding older games like GTA IV can be challenging.
Modding Steps:
- Prepare: Back up game files and ensure GTA IV is updated.
- Install Script Hook: Download from GTAinside.com, extract, and copy files to the GTA IV directory.
- Download Mods: Explore reputable sources like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods. Always verify mod safety.
- Launch: Mods typically load automatically; check mod descriptions for activation instructions.
GTA IV is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
