It was pretty easy to mod your health in Grand Theft Auto IV so I used to mess around with the ragdoll function holding onto grenades and launching myself or seeing how far I could fling myself out of a vehicle.

What I found interesting was despite being immune to explosions as well as getting shot and stabbed fall damage could still kill you so you would occasionally fall slightly to high and immediately die. You could also hit something on the way down like an awning and be fine but the moment you fall the additional ten feet to the ground you would instantly die.

It really makes me wonder how fall damage is calculated.


When I didn’t have a modded Xbox 360 it was something fun I could still mess around with and had a lot of fun with as a kid so I figured I’d ask if anyone else messed around with it and had any fun stories.

By the way there is a section on the Console Modding site for it.

    Oh I also used to mod Fallout 3 so I could have gear you normally can’t obtain. The Mysterious Strangers pistol is designed to one-shot anything so it was pretty fun and there’s also all the cut content items that are still in the game’s files.

    I believe equipping children’s clothing like Mayor MacCready’s caused the clothing to bug out and look massive and clip through the player but I can’t seem to find a photo of it online.
