How To Use Cheats in GTA 4
Using cheats in GTA 4 is simple and intuitive—just like making a call on Niko’s phone.
- Open Niko’s phone by pressing Up on the D-pad (or the corresponding key if using a keyboard).
- Press Up again to open the keypad.
- Dial the cheat code number.
- Hit Call, and the effect will activate immediately.
Once a cheat is used, it gets saved under the “Cheats” section of your phone. From there, you can easily reactivate it without having to re-enter the full number.
Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?
Unlike some other entries in the series, GTA 4 does not include a direct money cheat. If you're looking to earn cash quickly, focus on completing missions, side jobs, and various activities scattered throughout Liberty City.
Cheats Disables Achievements and Trophies
Be aware: activating any cheat code in GTA 4 will disable achievements (on PC/Xbox) and trophies (on PS3) for that session. This restriction remains active even after the cheat’s effects wear off.
How To Re-Enable Achievements/Trophies
To restore your ability to earn achievements or trophies:
- Save your game progress.
- Exit GTA 4 completely.
- Restart the game without entering any cheat codes.
This reset only affects the current session, so you can toggle between cheating and legitimate play as needed. Just keep your achievement/trophy runs separate from your cheat-enabled sessions.
Modding in GTA 4
While cheat codes offer temporary enhancements, mods allow you to completely reshape your GTA 4 experience. Adding new vehicles, weapons, mechanics, and even entire storylines is possible through modding.
Here’s how to get started:
Step 1: Prepare Your Game
Before installing any mods:
- Make a backup of your original game files.
- Ensure your copy of GTA 4 is updated to the latest version.
Step 2: Install Script Hook
Most GTA 4 mods rely on Script Hook to function properly.
- Download Script Hook from GTAinside.com.
- Extract the downloaded archive.
- Copy the contents into your main GTA 4 installation folder (where
GTAIV.exe
is located).
Step 3: Download Mods
Explore popular modding websites such as:
- GTAInside
- GTAForums
- Nexus Mods
Download the mod files and follow the included instructions. Most mods require simply copying files into your game directory.
⚠️ Always verify the safety and compatibility of any mod before downloading.
Step 4: Launch and Enjoy
Start GTA 4. If installed correctly, most mods will load automatically upon launch. Some may require specific key combinations or in-game commands to activate, so refer to the mod description for usage details.
And that’s everything you need to know about GTA 4 cheat codes and modding.
Grand Theft Auto IV is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
