Will putting cheats into GTA IV and NOT saving it effect my game?

Question

With saving it......not sure. answers would be good

Answer 1

as soon as u enable cheats it will record in statistics , if u save even the cheats used will be saved .

Answer 2

if you dont save it, the game wont mark it down as used, if you do use cheats n u save it, it will mark it down as saved.... just remember that gta games usually have auto save so b4 u use the cheats, turn auto save off
