How to create backups

It's one of the most important modding rules: backup files. You need to create a security copy for files that you will mod, to restore in case of problems.
You could create a folder called 'Backups' in GTA IV main folder where to put all your original files.
An useful tool is GTA IV Recoverer, that allows you to restore files from game's DVD.

Modder's tool

Each modder, newbie or pro, needs his own tools.
To modify text files, e.g. .dat files, you could use Notepad, already installed on your pc.
For 3D modeling and/or conversion, you could use 3D programs such as 3D Studio Max (30 days trial on official site), or Blender. At the moment, importing 3D models is not supported for GTA IV.
All free tools will be uploaded in our download area, in GTA IV Tools section.

SparkIV and OpenIV

The most important tools for GTA 4 modding are:

OpenIV created by GooD-NTS.
SparkIV created by aru.
