Grand Theft Auto IV: A Cheat Code Compendium

While GTA IV may lack the unrestrained chaos of its sequel, GTA V, its cheat codes still deliver a potent dose of fun. This guide provides a comprehensive list of GTA IV cheat codes for spawning vehicles, boosting health, and unleashing mayhem with explosive weaponry. These codes function identically across all platforms, utilizing Niko's in-game phone.

Activating Cheats:

Activating cheats in GTA IV is straightforward: Access Niko's phone (Up on the D-pad or equivalent key), open the keypad (Up again), dial the code, press Call, and enjoy! Activated cheats are saved in the phone's "Cheats" menu for easy reactivation.

Important Note: Cheats disable Achievements/Trophies. Using cheats deactivates achievements (Xbox, PC) and trophies (PS3) for the current session. To re-enable them, save, exit GTA IV, and restart without using cheats.

Modding GTA IV:

While cheats enhance gameplay, modding offers a vastly expanded experience. However, modding older games like GTA IV can be challenging. Here's a simplified guide:

Step 1: Game Preparation: Back up your game files and ensure GTA IV is updated.

Step 2: Script Hook Installation: Download Script Hook from GTAinside.com, extract the files, and copy them into your GTA IV directory.

Step 3: Mod Download and Installation: Explore reputable sites like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods. Download and install mods according to their instructions (often involving file placement in the GTA IV folder). Always verify the safety and legitimacy of downloaded mods.

Step 4: Launch and Play: Start the game; correctly installed mods should load automatically. Check the mod description for activation instructions if needed.

GTA IV is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
