While *Grand Theft Auto IV* may not boast the wild antics of its sequel, *GTA V*, it certainly doesn't skimp on the thrill with its own arsenal of cheat codes. Whether you're in the mood to conjure up new rides, boost your health, or unleash chaos with explosive ammo, here's your comprehensive guide to all the *GTA 4* cheat codes.

GTA 4 Cheat Codes for PC, Xbox & PS3

Here's a detailed list of all the cheat codes you'll need. They function uniformly across all platforms, as you'll be entering them via Niko's in-game phone.

Health, Armor, and Weapons Cheats

Wanted Level Cheats

Vehicle Spawn Cheats

Miscellaneous Cheats

How To Use Cheats in GTA 4

Activating cheats in *GTA 4* is as simple as making a phone call – literally. Here's how to do it:

• Pull out Niko's phone by pressing Up on the D-pad (or the corresponding key on your keyboard).
• Press Up again to access the keypad.
• Dial the cheat code number.
• Hit Call and voilà – the cheat is activated!
• Once you've entered a cheat, it's saved in your phone under "Cheats," so you can easily reactivate it whenever you want without dialing again.

Is There a Money Cheat in GTA 4?

Surprisingly, *GTA 4* doesn't offer a direct money cheat like some other *GTA* titles. If you're looking to amass cash quickly, stick to the tried-and-true methods: missions, side missions, and other in-game jobs.

Cheats Disable Achievements and Trophies

The most significant consequence of using cheat codes in *GTA 4* is that achievements (on Xbox and PC) and trophies (on PS3) will be disabled for the current play session. Activating any cheat code, whether for health, weapons, or vehicle spawning, means you won't unlock new achievements or trophies until you restart the game.

How To Re-Enable Achievements/Trophies

If you've used a cheat, don't worry – re-enabling achievements is straightforward:

• Save your game.
• Close *GTA 4*.
• Restart the game without activating any cheats.
• Once restarted, achievements and trophies will function normally again. This only affects the session where cheats were used, so keep your cheat-filled fun separate from your serious trophy-hunting runs.

Modding in GTA 4

While cheats add a fun twist, mods can completely transform your *GTA 4* experience, offering endless new content. However, modding can be challenging, especially for older games like *GTA 4*. Here's a quick guide to get you started:

Step 1: Prepare Your Game

• Back up your game files to prevent any mishaps.
• Ensure *GTA 4* is updated to the latest version.

Step 2: Install Script Hook

Most *GTA 4* mods require Script Hook to function. Here's how to set it up:

• Download Script Hook for *GTA 4* from GTAinside.com.
• Extract the downloaded files.
• Copy the Script Hook files into your *GTA 4* directory (where the GTAIV.exe file is located).

Step 3: Download Mods

Find mods that pique your interest on popular sites like:

• **GTAInside**
• **GTAForums**
• **Nexus Mods**

Download the mod files and follow the included instructions, which usually involve copying files into your *GTA 4* folder. Always ensure the mods you're downloading are safe.

Step 4: Launch and Enjoy

Start the game. If installed correctly, the mod should load automatically. Some mods may require specific key combinations to activate, so refer to the mod description for details.

And there you have it – all the *GTA 4* cheat codes and a guide to modding the game.

*GTA 4 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
