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 functionality.
- Modding: While cheats enhance gameplay, modding offers significantly expanded content. However, modding older games like GTA IV can be challenging.
