Activating Cheats:

Accessing cheats is as simple as making a phone call. Open Niko's phone (Up on the D-pad or equivalent keyboard key), access the keypad (Up again), dial the code, press Call, and the cheat activates. Entered cheats are saved under "Cheats" in the phone for easy reactivation.

Important Considerations:

  • No Money Cheat: Unlike other GTA titles, GTA IV lacks a dedicated money cheat.
  • Achievement/Trophy Impact: Using cheats disables achievements (Xbox, PC) and trophies (PS3) for the current session. Saving, closing, and restarting the game restores normal functionality.
  • Modding: While cheats enhance gameplay, modding offers significantly expanded possibilities. However, modding older games like GTA IV can be more complex.

Modding GTA IV (A Brief Guide):
