Grand Theft Auto IV: A Cheat Code Guide for PC, Xbox, and PS3
While GTA IV may lack the over-the-top action of its sequel, GTA V, its cheat codes still deliver plenty of fun. This guide covers all the cheats, from vehicle spawns to boosting your health and wreaking havoc with explosive ammo. All codes are entered via Niko's in-game phone, functioning identically across all platforms.

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 for easy re-activation.
Money Cheat Absence:
Unlike some GTA titles, GTA IV lacks a dedicated money cheat. Earn money legitimately through missions and side jobs.
Achievement/Trophy Impact:
Using cheats disables achievements (Xbox, PC) and trophies (PS3) for the current session. To re-enable them, save, exit, and restart the game without using cheats.
Modding GTA IV:
While cheats enhance gameplay, modding unlocks a whole new level of customization. However, modding older games can be challenging.
Modding Steps:
- Prepare Your Game: Back up your game files and ensure GTA IV is updated.
- Install Script Hook: Download Script Hook from GTAinside.com, extract the files, and copy them into your GTA IV directory.
- Download Mods: Explore reputable sites like GTAInside, GTAForums, and Nexus Mods. Download and follow the installation instructions for each mod. Always verify the safety of downloaded mods.
- Launch and Enjoy: The mod should activate automatically upon launching the game. Check the mod description for activation instructions if needed.
GTA IV is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
