What This Cheat Does
Activating the Stormy Weather cheat in GTA Vice City unleashes heavy rain and thunderstorms across the map.
This cheat can create a more dramatic atmosphere for your gameplay and can be useful for setting the mood during missions or just for fun.
How to Enter the Cheat
On PC
Type CATSANDDOGS during normal gameplay — there is no console or menu to open. A message confirms the cheat is active.
On PlayStation
Enter the button combo on your controller during gameplay — not while paused. A confirmation appears on screen.
On Xbox
Enter the button combo during gameplay. The game confirms the moment the cheat activates.
Good to Know
Stormy weather can affect vehicle handling, so drive carefully!
Heads up: GTA Vice City cheats can’t be turned off once entered — some keep running until you reload, and a few (especially the character-model cheats) can break missions and cutscenes, so use them on a separate save file. Entering cheats also disables achievements and trophies on the Definitive Edition.
