Grand Theft Auto IV: A Comprehensive Guide to Cheat Codes and Mods

While Grand Theft Auto IV may lack the unrestrained chaos of its successor, GTA V, its cheat codes still offer a thrilling experience. This guide covers all GTA IV cheat codes, their uses, and the impact on achievements/trophies. We'll also explore the world of GTA IV modding.

Cheat Codes: A Breakdown

Using Cheat Codes:

Activate cheats by accessing Niko's phone (Up on the D-pad or equivalent key), dialing the code, and selecting "Call." Activated cheats are saved in the phone's "Cheats" menu for easy reactivation.
