Fallout 4 console commands

Overview
The console is a debugging tool in the Windows version of Fallout 4. It is useful for altering content while in-game, but may be used to cheat as well. It cannot be used in the console versions or in Survival mode.

In order to access the console, you will need to use the key appropriate for your language (as shown in the list of console keys).

The HUD will disappear and you will get a prompt (--- |) in the lower left corner of the screen where you can input commands as listed below (The console will also remember any previously entered commands, which you can scroll through with the Up and Down Arrow keys). While the console is open, the game will pause and the camera will freeze. If the left side of the console is not visible, one may need to edit the Fallout4_Default.ini file in the installation folder. Increasing the iConsoleTextXPos variable will move the prompt further right into the field of view. Fallout 4 does not require turning off an Xbox/PS Controller if you are using one, to use the console. If you are using a controller, simply use your keyboard to enable the console.

Types
The commands listed on this page will appear in two types and are accordingly formated:
 * – Targeted commands. These will either be listed here with targetID or player as target.
 * Targeted commands also work by selecting the target with the mouse or using before the command.
 * – Untargeted commands.
 * Some commands will be noted to be able to both be used either with a target or without one, resulting in a global or targeted effect.

Targets
Targeted commands will require a reference as target usually entered before the actual command, as noted by the separating dot in between. For the majority of functions, a Form ID will be needed. For example, if you want your player character (PC) to be the target, you can:
 * Use the PC's reference ID:
 * Example: – Adds 1 Pipe Wrench to the PC's inventory.
 * Left-click on the PC (while the console is open you will be given a cursor to click on objects/characters in the world to select them as targets), at the console's header " 00000014 [EP] will show up, indicating the ID of your PC as target. Now you can enter any targeted command without needing to enter a target as the console will automatically preface it with your selected ID. To deselect your target, simply click on it again and it will disappear from the header.
 * Example:
 * Selecting items in difficult environments, and scroll wheel augmented selection: Pointing and left-clicking may not select the expected item when in a crowded environment, or in the presence of items whose boundaries extend beyond their visible edges. When in doubt, verify the selection with non-destructive console commands:
 * After attempting to click on an NPC, the (show inventory) command is a convenient validator. If a plausible inventory is shown, it is very likely that the expected NPC was selected.
 * After attempting to click on an arbitrary item, the command can be used to increase the altitude of the selected item by one unit (a few pixels for nearby items; less for more distant items). If the desired item moves up, the selection was successful. Whether successful or not, always reverse the effect of that command by using the command  before doing anything else. (If the item shimmers or is blurry after, that can be fixed by using a command that will not move the item, like .)
 * If the desired item was not selected, rotate the mouse's scroll wheel to select the next item in the scene that falls behind the point that was clicked; the ID shown at the top/middle of the console will change with each increment of rotation. (If the pointer is within the console area, the console text may also scroll, but that is unrelated to the ID shown. Also, when using the scroll wheel to scroll the console text, beware the scroll wheel's dual purpose, because after scrolling, the item you originally selected probably isn't the item that is currently selected, which can lead to terrible mistakes.) For each new ID that appears as the scroll wheel is rotated, use one of the selection verification procedures discussed above until the desired item is found.
 * If the ID of the item is already known, the ambiguity of mouse selection can be avoided by using the command (Pick Reference ID) to select a target (the player character, in this example). To deselect it, just enter.
 * Example:
 * In case of the player character, you can actually just use "player" as a reference ID which the console will automatically convert to 00000014 upon executing the command. This is the only such placeholder in the game, "targetID" is merely a placeholder on this page, to indicate commands which require a target.
 * Example:

Leading zeroes
Each item, object, character, etc. has an eight character hexadecimal reference ID. When typing IDs, leading zeroes may be omitted.
 * Example: is the same as.

Multiple commands
You can enter several commands at once to be executed in a row one after the other. Simply separate them with ; between each command, as seen in the below example.
 * Example:

Logic
You can use logical operators in your commands in order to have branching conditions. The syntax to do an if statement in the console is as follows. .
 * Example:
 * f is bottlecaps
 * 1f66c is 5mm ammo

Explanation:
 * 1) The amount of money is checked.
 * 2) * If the player has more than 300 bottle caps then the if statement is true.
 * 3) * Otherwise, the statement is false and nothing happens.
 * 4) In the if true section the game then removes 300 bottle caps from the player and adds 150 5mm ammo.
 * 5) * This is to provide a means of resupply out in the commonwealth.
 * 6) * You can change the values or the items to be whatever you want.
 * 7) In this example, we didn't use the elseif or else blocks because they are optional and not required.

''Note: The console is not case-sensitive. While commands listed here contain capitalization for better readability, it doesn't matter how you input them: E.g., or  will all work.''

Debugging and mapping

 * – Searches for item IDs, perk names, and even other commands. Use PageUp and PageDown keys or keyboard equivalents to scroll through the console.
 * matchstring: The search term(s).
 * filter: Integer from 0 to 4.
 * 0 – List all results.
 * 1 – List functions.
 * 2 – List settings.
 * 3 – List globals.
 * 4 – List other forms (optional form type, see below for common examples).
 * form type: 4 character form type identifier (used only when using filter value 4, otherwise ignored), e.g.:
 * AMMO - Ammunition. (All items in the Pip-Boy INV/AMMO display are of type AMMO.)
 * ARMO – Armor and clothing. (All items in the Pip-Boy INV/APPAREL display are of type ARMO.)
 * ALCH - Food, drink and chems. (All items in the Pip-Boy INV/AID display are of type ALCH.)
 * BOOK - All magazines, notes, and a few schematics. (Shown in Pip-Boy INV/MISC display.)
 * CELL – Cells of the maps.
 * FACT – Factions.
 * FURN – Furniture. In Workshop mode, some behave normally (118f4b), some can only be scrapped (ab568), while others can't be manipulated at all (db85e).
 * MISC – Miscellaneous items, including all "junk" items. (All items in the Pip-Boy INV/JUNK display are MISC, as are some items in INV/MISC.)
 * NPC_ – NPCs. (Underscore satisfies the 4 character requirement.)
 * OMOD – Item mods.
 * PERK – Perks.
 * QUST – Quests.
 * SPEL - Conditions affecting a character, for better ("Fortify Health"), or worse ("Alcohol Addiction").
 * STAT – Static objects (uses the display name, not the actual model name).
 * WEAP – Weapons. (All items in the Pip-Boy INV/WEAPONS display are of type WEAP.)
 * Example: – This will list everything - item IDs, perk names, and commands - with "Leather" in the name.
 * Example: – If your search term contains a space, surround it in quotation marks.
 * Example: – Lists all armors with "raider" in their name.
 * Example: – Lists all NPCs with "gunner con" in their name, like "Gunner Conscript".
 * or – Clears the console log.
 * Note: While the command is accepted, it does not clear the console as intended.
 * or
 * – Enables all locations as discovered to your Pip-Boy with fast travel (Does not update the "locations discovered" statistic in the Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV).
 * – Disables all map markers.
 * – Adds all map markers as undiscovered without fast travel.
 * or – Gives the player complete immunity to damage, radiation and oxygen starvation underwater. It also gives unlimited ammo and clip, carrying capacity and AP (reloading does use AP with some weapons). RadAway and stimpaks do not work while tgm is active, but power armor fusion cores will still drain, however can be recharged by using the jetpack. In addition, it provides unlimited resources for building items at settlements. Falling from high places will still cause the player to flinch as if taking damage, though no damage will occur, and companions may comment as if you had taken damage as a result.
 * or – Character will still take damage, but health will never reach zero; it does not confer radiation immunity, nor infinite AP or ammo.
 * Warning: This will irreversibly screw up your character should you encounter a kill animation (e.g. Deathclaw evisceration) which can lead to your limbs or head being replaced by gibs causing permanent crippling debuffs (perception or agility at 0), inability to equip gear for the affected slots and all your character's dialogue being skipped (in case of a mauled head). While the visual effects can be solved by entering/exiting power armor, the permanent 0 for SPECIAL stats and your mute player character are impossible to restore and force you to reload a previous save.
 * or – Enables the player to move in any direction, including through solid objects and/or empty space. (A.K.A. "noclip"). It allows you to "fly" over an area and view it or get unstuck from a location. Make sure to click on an empty space to clear any IDs that are being used in the console for this to work,  with no parameters also serves the same purpose.
 * Note: You will still be unable to pass outside the invisible walls at the boundaries of the map.
 * Note: While collisions are disabled, NPCs in the area cannot change location; they will try to walk in whatever direction they were going before collisions were disabled, but will only be able to walk in place. Anecdotal evidence suggests that this inability to move may cause their AIs to re-weight the value of the path of they were taking, decreasing it over time from a viable path, to a non-viable or undesirable path, which may negatively affect their movement in the future. (An article on NPC AI capabilities and limitations from someone with a solid understanding of the subject would be helpful.)
 * or – Puts the game in a frozen state, even when leaving the console. Useful in combination with tfc and tm to line up perfect screenshots. Type again to resume the game.
 * or – The angle of the game camera's horizontal Field Of View settings in degrees. Higher values make more of the world around you fit on screen, but also distort the image more.
 * or - Sets the default of 70 degrees.
 * - Sets the Third person camera to 90 degrees, and the first person camera back to 70. If you are in first person mode, this can make it seem as if the setting was ignored.
 * or – Decouples the camera from the character, allowing you to move it independently in 3rd person view (limited in range to extent of current uGridsToLoad cells setting)
 * – Additionally freezes all animations, useful for screenshots.
 * or – Changes the Freefly camera movement speed.
 * – Half movement speed.
 * – Default speed.
 * – Double movement speed.
 * or – Toggles UI overlay display (including console). This command hides all available menus and User Interface displays. It also hides the console. It does however not disable any menus or UI displays. They will all still accept user interaction or commands. As such the console can be used to enter commands even though they can not be seen. Type tm again to toggle the menus to be visible again.
 * Note: This can be used to hide the UI for screenshots.
 * – Takes a screenshot without removing any HUD elements. Screenshot is stored in the root Fallout4.exe directory named "ScreenShot#.png". Use in conjunction with to make the console and HUD invisible for a better screenshot.
 * or – Enable/Disable/Edit the rim lighting that is used on character models. Character Light can also be applied to other models that currently do not use it. It can also be removed from models.
 * or – Enable/Disable/Edit God-Ray
 * or – Teleports the player to the specified cell's center.
 * – Teleports to the pre-war version of Sanctuary Hills from the intro.
 * – Teleports to a test cell containing most of the items in the game.
 * – Teleports to the Red Rocket truck stop, a gas station between Sanctuary Hills and Concord.
 * or – Writes console output to the specified file.
 * Note: While the command is accepted, no file or contents are ever generated.
 * or – Executes specified list of commands as defined by a text file (.txt) placed in the game's directory. Only enter the raw name without file type endings.
 * Example: to load the contents of 'testfile.txt', placed in the installation directory.
 * or – Toggles grass display.
 * or – Toggles Trijuicing. [Unknown]
 * or – Toggles distant LOD display.
 * or – Toggles sky display.
 * or – Toggles water display. Useful when exploring underwater regions. It time-outs in a few seconds so you have to reenter the command. It also deactivates when you move into another cell.
 * or – Toggles wire frame mode.
 * or – "Fast quit", immediately closes the game.
 * or – Removes current blood splatter, dust from explosions and similar screen effects.
 * or – Creates a save file with the given name.
 * Note: Saved game is not listed in default list of saves. To find the save created with command "SaveGame" you need to select "Load -> Select Character -> Show All Saves".
 * or – Loads the entered save file.
 * or – Sets multiplier on in-game time. For example, 1.0 is standard time, 0.5 is slow mo, and 0.25 is even slower.
 * Warning: Can break quite a few things. Safe values are 0 to 25. Above 50 drops framerate and higher crashes the game.
 * or – Turns character lighting on/off which is an artificial light the game applies to characters/creatures.
 * Note: Case sensitive so cl on will work but CL ON will not.
 * - Sets the strength of the character lighting. Will have no effect if character lighting is off. Default value is 0.02 and it is also case sensitive.
 * Example: cl rim 0.02

Quests

 * – Moves the quest in your quest log to the indicated quest stage. Recommended command for moving past bugged sections of quests rather than forcing the entire quest to become completed. This command can only set the quest to a further stage; it cannot return you to a stage you have already completed.
 * – Returns the quest's current stage number.
 * – Show Quest Target: Generates a list of current quest targets. Can also be used to find Quest IDs.
 * – Completes the given quest.
 * – Resets the given quest.
 * Warning: This command can potentially break a quest, with no way to move forward on that quest
 * or – Shows all current quest objectives. If called with no parameters, it will return all quests, completed or otherwise.
 * – Completes all current objectives for the given quest.
 * – Complete All Quest Stages: finishes every quest, granting you all quest items and quest related achievements, Very buggy and may cause the game to crash.
 * or – Teleports the player to the questtarget.
 * or – Used to display all the stages of a quest.
 * or - Show variables for a quest by its ID
 * - Start all quests, Causes game to crash; unable to progress to beginning scene.

Inventory manipulation

 * – Add any item to your inventory. Use the "help" command to find the base ID.
 * Example: to add every shipment item. The command is not case-sensitive. If the ID begins with 0's, they can be omitted ("1ec66a" will work fine in the above example). If the amount field is left blank the game will default to 1.
 * Warning: Unlike in previous games (such as Skyrim), negative values are no longer accepted (you can no longer use negative numbers to use this command like "removeitem"), and it will cause your game to crash if you try.
 * Flag: Type random numbers (like 1, 2, 3) until you get the kind of armor you want (Standard, Sturdy or Heavy).
 * – Remove any item from your inventory.
 * or – Lists Inventory with object IDs.
 * – Equip an item from the inventory. Useful for equipping items that don't appear in Pip-Boy inventory.
 * – Unequip inaccessible items (e.g. Pip-Boy).
 * – Unequips all items from an NPC.
 * Warning: Using this command on a character in power armor will cause the power armor frame to be destroyed and the character to be permanently disfigured.
 * – Opens any NPC's Inventory as if they were a container. Equipped apparel does not show.
 * – Forces the NPC to drop a specified amount of an item from their inventory.
 * – Adds the specified amount of an item to an NPC's inventory.
 * – Removes all items from the target's inventory. If a ref_id is specified it will move the items to the references inventory, if it is left blank the items are destroyed. Can target containers or people.
 * Example: Will remove all items from target and place them in the players inventory.

NPC manipulation

 * – Kills the target (unless essential).
 * – Resurrects NPCs. Will not work on NPCs who are "scripted" to be dead by default, either through a quest script's effect or an internal data flag.
 * Warning: Be aware that NPCs with crippled limbs/head can spawn without them or with a collection of giblets where the limb/head used to be. Disabling and enabling the NPC again after the resurrect command should fix this. If the NPC is killed after resurrecting them, they may also fail to ragdoll on their second death.
 * Some creatures will not resume their "animated" state when resurrected, and will simply glide along the ground while not moving at all. This is entirely dependent on the race/species of the creature - several known to do this 100% of the time such as Brahmin (both pack and non-pack variants) and Mister Gutsy. Disabling and enabling them again will fix this bug, but when not able to use those commands


 * – Enables you to barter with NPCs.


 * – Resets some NPCs.
 * Note: This causes randomly generated NPCs and random encounter NPCs (like a patrolling minuteman, raiders attacking a settlement, or a named travelling trader) to vanish completely from the area. This can be used without a "resurrect" command.
 * If used on the player, it will reset all effects currently affecting the player. Useful for addressing glitches. The player's inventory will remain unchanged except a Vault 111 suit will be added and equipped.
 * It fixes the error from the above command by refreshing their model.
 * Using this command on a power armor frame will return the frame to its original location and replace all current armor pieces with a random assortment of leveled armor pieces (though the model won't change until entry).
 * Using this command on a random settler will "reroll" the settler, allowing for an alternate appearance or gender.
 * Note that this command will also reset the inventory of any NPC to their default state, and as such, any gear or items given to them will be forfeit (the "resurrect" command also has this issue, make sure to so take any important items off of their bodies before you use that command as well).
 * The command may be used while selecting any NPC with the console to open up their inventory (as if you were trading items with a companion) as a workaround for the above issues. This will work on any NPC, including creatures and robots (hostility does not stop it from working, either).
 * – Kills all NPCs and creatures in the area except for companions and "essential" NPCs that are too important to die. They will instead slump down until healed with a stimpak, or until enough time passes.
 * – Kills all hostiles in the area. Non hostiles are unaffected.
 * – It's a command that can be used on NPCs or settlers do things outside your settlements. A very useful command to make NPCs (guards, provisioners, etc.) get into power armor.
 * – A useful command function to order settlers/merchants/NPCs out of your power armor when a dialogue is not offered. (Can happen on occasion when settlements are attacked.) First target the NPC, then type the command.
 * – Toggles the AI on an NPC. This basically freezes them until toggled again.
 * – With no selected target it will toggle the AI globally.
 * or – Toggles all AI combat routines.
 * – With no selected target it will toggle the combat AI globally.
 * – Toggles AI detection: Disables AI from detecting anything. Including other NPCs, creatures and the player character.
 * – Changes the sex of the NPC. Please note that this does not always come out comely.
 * Warning: Only use this on disposable NPCs. This will mess up NPCs essential to quests, but it can be remedied by restarting the game and loading a previous save.
 * – Allows an NPC to be permanently killed or alternatively - unable to be killed, depending on the value used (see below). Trying to set an NPC that is already "essential" (or not) to the same value they already had using this command doesn't do anything.
 * Note: As this requires the NPC's Base ID (and what's shown when they are selected with the console is their Ref ID), use their name and the "help" command to look up their Base IDs.
 * For example, to remove Deacon's essential status, type, then use the ID it lists for him in the above command.
 * – Allows the NPC to be permanently killed.
 * – Sets them to be unkillable.
 * – Returns 0 or 1 depending on whether the target is non-essential or essential.
 * – Get Companion Affinity Level (Events usually triggered at 250, 500, 750, 1000 with 1000 being max, unless in a relationship with a companion which maxes at 1100)
 * – Sets Companion Affinity Level to an absolute value.
 * – Modifies Companion Affinity Level by a relative value.
 * – Resets AI.
 * - Moves NPC with refID to player
 * or – Allows you to control selected AI.
 * Note: Does not (automatically) remove control of your previous character. As such all commands like moving forward will be sent to both controlled targets. Toggle to remove control from the player character.

Factions

 * – Adds target to faction, needs to be used with a prefix or target, e.g to add yourself to the player faction. 0=friend, 1=ally.
 * – Removes target from faction, needs to be used with a prefix or target
 * – Removes the target from all factions. Be aware that this will also remove the player character from the "player faction" if used on them.
 * – Makes two factions friendly with each other. 0=friend, 1=ally
 * – Makes two factions enemies with each other. 0=neutral, 1=enemy

Stats and character manipulation

 * or – Prints a report of the current value of a given variable to the console. See list of character variables in this section for examples of what can be used here.
 * or – Sets actor values to a given amount (S.P.E.C.I.A.L., skills, experience, resistances, action points, health, etc). Using setav will affect the perk chart and unlock new perks for the player to select from.
 * Example: (default)
 * or – Modify an actor value. S.P.E.C.I.A.L. set using "modav" will change in the Pip Boy but will not affect the Perk chart - use "setav" for this instead. The value will max out at its normal maximum value. A negative number lowers the variable.
 * Example
 * Note: This will provide you with however much experience you enter as the amount. You will receive all levels gained after one level bar fills allowing for perk points to be spent.  However, you'll need to allow the bar to fill out all the experience gained; if you enter a second amount before the first is done you'll have to wait for the first amount to finish. Therefore, using this command with too high a number at once (such as exceeding 400,000), is not advisable. You can, however, save and load your game in order to skip the wait.
 * or – Force a value.
 * Note: It is recommended to use ModAV instead of ForceAV, especially if you want to revert the change later. ForceAV overrides the automatic calculation of actor values, and nothing will affect that actor value again aside from another ForceAV or a ModAV. For example, with a Carry Weight of 200, a will give the player character a carrying capacity of 5000. Getting an extra point of strength will not change that capacity, even if you ForceAV the Carry Weight back to 200 before getting the additional point of strength. On the other hand, a  will result in a carrying capacity of 5200, getting an additional point of Strength will make that increase appropriately, and a subsequent  will place the value back where it should be based on Strength.  Also,  will add or subtract experience from your XP pool. Adding experience such that the player advances more than one level will only give one perk point,  one perk point per level. Subtracting experience will not reduce the player level. It is recommended to only add sufficient experience to advance one level at a time or not exceed 400000 xp point.
 * Using will yield your current XP pool, and using  (where #### represents a value you want to have) will result in adding the appropriate number of levels AND perk points. (example...when  is used it will result in a number, for this we'll say 1000. Now I want to add 1000 to it I will use  this will add the number of levels adequate for a 1000 XP gain, and will add all the perk points for the levels gained.
 * – Adds a specific perk and its rank. For a list of perks see Fallout 4 perks.
 * Note: This command does not add preceding or succeeding ranks within a perk - it only adds one perk rank. For example, if you want to be a Master Locksmith (rank 4/4), you must also add (or have already learned) Locksmith perk ranks 1/4, 2/4, and 3/4.
 * – Removes a specified perk.
 * Note: For some reason this does not seem to work for the V.A.N.S. perk.
 * – Adds the specified number of Perk Points, they can be spent in the standard perk chart.
 * - Change player character's sex.
 * Warning: think about removing sex-related perks
 * Warning: sometimes, for unknown reasons, this command crashes the game.
 * – Set level. Note that this cannot be used to level your character down.
 * – Advance a point on a specific skill branch.
 * or – Edit target's appearance.
 * Example: – Edit player character (RefID 14).
 * Warning: Do not modify non-humans.
 * – Bring up the menu to change name and assign SPECIAL points.
 * – Show game settings value.
 * – Refills health bar, leaves radiation sickness.
 * – Allows you to set the value for your jump. The higher the number, the higher the jump. Be careful as jumping too high will cause fall damage.
 * Example: (default)
 * - Allows you to set the multiplier for receiving fall damage. Higher numbers will increase falling damage, zero will completely remove falling damage.
 * Example: (default)
 * - Allows you to set the minimum distance you must fall before beginning to take fall damage. The lower the number the shorter the distance.  Setting this value below your jump height will cause you to take fall damage from jumping.
 * Example: (default)
 * – Move to the NPC or item.
 * – Moves the NPC or item to the player.
 * Example:  0003eff3.moveto player – Moves "Rylee" to the player
 * – Changes the race of the player. Can be used to change into a Ghoul, Super Mutant, or a Synth. You can find a list of the race ID's using the help function.
 * – Reverts any race change.
 * Note: Changing into certain races can crash the game

Character variables
Most can be used by name, e.g., but the rest you must use the ID.

Items, world, and target/reference manipulation
This is easiest if you first click on something in the world with the console open to target it. You may also use to select an object.


 * – Gives reference ID of currently held Item (To grab, press and hold E on item and then type command in console)
 * or – Same as clicking on a target to select its ID. Useful for manually selecting world items (such as player grabbed items) if the mouse cannot select it. Also, execute (multiple) commands on "invisible" or unreachable targets.
 * Example: – Selects Strong as target (wherever he may be) and then moves him to the player.
 * This works only with "cached" NPCs. Many are: if not, visiting their cell helps.
 * or - Picks the last spawned ref. Useful for selecting objects spawned via the console without having to click it afterwards.
 * Example: will spawn a toilet directly in front of the player, select the newly created reference, and rotate it 180 degrees.
 * or - Spawns an object where the cursor is placed, in the direction the player is facing. Very useful for precisely placing objects not usually available in the workshop, and allows more control over using . The same rules for spawning weapons that will not work apply here as well.
 * Note: It seems the distance and direction parameters don't affect the way objects are spawned. Please update thisif you can get them to work properly.
 * Example: will spawn a toilet directly in front of the player.
 * – Hides the selected reference object.
 * – Shows the selected reference object.
 * – Spawn an character/creature/item/Static Object on top of the player. While the console is open, you may also use reference targets, then simply use "placeatme" without a prefix to spawn on top of the target. Stack amount defaults to 1 and can be omitted.
 * Note: If this command is used on a weapon or armor, you will not be able to pick it up. Use . If 'placeatme' is used without a prefix, the item will be spawned in the vicinity of the player.
 * Example: will spawn 1 BOS uniform and work properly.  will spawn 1 combat rifle, and will not work properly.  to spawn 1 Deathclaw on top of you.
 * – Spawn exactly one duplicate of the selected reference. World objects that contain multiples will only duplicate a single item. E.g. A box of shotgun shells containing 3 shells will only duplicate a box containing 1 shell.
 * If you spawn a duplicate NPC, it will only duplicate whatever items they had in their inventory originally. (E.g. Spawn a settler that has different armor or weapon equipped). Also, if you duplicate a settler, they will have to be assigned to a settlement. It is similar to generating a new settler from the console.
 * Warning: Do not spawn duplicate quest targets or unique NPCs/items. This may lead to unforeseen bugs and/or game crashes.
 * Warning: Spawning duplicate containers or static objects (or anything that needs to align sensibly with the rest of the world) is problematic, because items spawn at random angles on their X, Y and Z axes, and at different coordinates from the original. The problem of the random angles is solved by using three sets of commands:, followed by , and then where, for "&lt;Good_Z_Angle&gt;", one enters the number returned by the  command. (Combining the last two commands sets is tempting, however not all commands take effect in the order they are issued. Issuing the command sets separately avoids that problem.) For some purposes, this result is sufficient, especially given the ease of altering item altitudes using  or . However, if the duplicated item's X and Y coordinates must be changed to align it with another item (usually the original), then knowledge of item dimensions and trigonometry are required.
 * Warning: Spawning a duplicate of a light-emitting item, creates a duplicate of the item, but not its glow (the light it is meant to emit). The problem, at least where electric lights using radiant power in settlements are concerned, is eventually solvable through a combination of using workshop mode to move the duplicated, glow-free light next to a light that is already glowing until the duplicated light also starts glowing, then cancelling the move to return the duplicated light to its original position. Even so, that may only be enough to turn-on a light that was off; it may, or may not, acquire and retain its glow. Subsequently moving far away from the settlement (fast traveling to a distant settlement is a good choice), then returning, usually resolves any remaining issues. If not, repeated application of these steps should, eventually, resolve all the issues.
 * or – Adds a mod onto the selected item.
 * To add a mod or remove a mod, you must use the mod's correct base ID which will be the OMOD form type. Here is a list of some of the OMOD types.
 * Armor mods
 * Armor legendary effects
 * Armor piece variants (Such as normal, sturdy, heavy)
 * Weapon mods
 * Weapon legendary effects
 * or – Removes a mod from the selected item.
 * – Set the scale of an item in game. It's usually required to "disable" then "enable" the item for the new scaling to fully take place.
 * Warning: Using this command to change your character's size while wearing power armor may cause you to lose all equipped armor and clothing as well as your Pip-Boy, which cannot be recovered by any known means other than loading a previous save.
 * Note: Be careful when using setscale to large numbers like 10. You may seem big and powerful, but a very small drop-off (in comparison to your size) will be fatal. Cliffs look very tiny from 50 feet up, but still kill you as if you were normal size. Additionally cells will still only load as if you were normal size, and moving through un-spawned cells can crash the game. It is suggested to use the no-clip command to prevent falling.
 * – Prints out the scale of the item in the console.
 * – Prints out the current position of the object along a given axis (x|y|z)
 * – Sets the position of the item along a given axis (x|y|z)
 * Appears to make some items disapear.
 * – Adjusts the position of the item along a given axis by a given amount.
 * and – Lock/Unlock doors, safes, terminals or any other locked container. Other lock states can also be set with special values. Unlock will not work on doors that are "locked from the other side". You will first need to press the left mouse button on the item in order to identify what to lock/unlock.
 * Values between and  set the difficulty to that of the Lockpick skill (0-25 novice, 26-50 advanced, 51-75 expert, 76-100 master).
 * – Lock using the previous type of lock it had, or novice if it had none.
 * or – "Requires Key"
 * or – "Inaccessible"
 * or – "Requires Terminal"
 * or – "Chained"
 * or – "Barred"
 * – Activate an item, say a door, that is normally operated by a switch
 * Example: – Manually triggers the the UFO Fly By scene for the player. Use with caution.
 * – Similar to disable, will delete any item from the game, removing it permanently. It may disappear immediately, or it may require you to exit and re-enter the area.
 * Warning: This console command can remove important parts of the map, NPCs or even the player. Use with extreme caution.


 * – Similar to activate, but will open and close it without the player having to use it.
 * – Closed.
 * – Open.
 * – Make the item yours. (for instance a cabinet or a bed)
 * – Rotate/level an object (typically one that was placed with placeatme) on the 'X', 'Y' and 'Z' axis. Commonly used after placing a Power armor frame before attempting to enter the frame, so that the player doesn't freeze (a bug), by clicking on the frame, and setting the X and Y axis angle values to 0.
 * – Get Rotation angle of an object on the 'X', 'Y' or 'Z' axis; prints the angle degrees on the console. Useful to align building items with other building items, usually with the Z axis, when preparing to use setangle.
 * – Adjusts the angle of the item along a given axis by a given amount.
 * – Move the player to an object.
 * – Sets the timescale, the ratio determining how fast game time moves relative to real time.
 * – 20 seconds pass in game for every second in real time (default setting).
 * – 1 second passes in game for every second in real time.
 * – Stops time of day.
 * Used without parameters returns the current timescale setting (doesn't always work).
 * Warning: Altering the timescale will cause the game to crash if NPCs spawned using placeleveledactoratme or enter into combat.
 * Note: A timescale of 0 will prevent actors to cross cell borders.
 * Note: Reducing the game timescale reduces fast travel time as well.
 * – Sets the gamehour to the entered value. Change applies only when player unpauses the game. Before making any changes to the gamehour, using or  might be useful.
 * - sets the current day of the current month. would set it to the 1st of the month. Avoid 31 as this will corrupt your game if the month lacks a 31st day. Use  to find the current day of the month.
 * - Example: . Don't go before 2287, or you risk corrupting your game.
 * – You can temporarily increase the chance of legendary enemies through the console, which does not affect the difficulty.
 * – Very Easy
 * – Easy
 * – Normal
 * – Hard
 * – Very Hard
 * – Survival chance of legendary enemies.
 * or – Instantly changes the weather.
 * or – Sets the weather to change gradually.

Settlers
will spawn a settler. Settlers spawned this way must be moved to a settlement via the Workshop interface (default is "R" on PC) before they can be assigned to work.


 * Note: - A settler spawned like this can be assigned to a supply line and home of an existing settler (if done in that order) to take over that supply line. This can be done to fix bugged supply lines when the original settler can't be found.

For those with the Far Harbor DLC, you can replace with  to spawn the Far Harbor variant of a settler. This settler will have different randomized looks from the Commonwealth settlers and will have generic dialogue specific to Far Harbor. The xx is based off the load order - 01 if Far Harbor is the first loaded add-on, 02 if the second, etc. If this fails, replace the xx with 10, 20, 30, ect, depending on the load order.

- will let you place a workbench anywhere that can be used to build a settlement. Note: Currently there is no known way to get settlers to move to your new settlement (other than sending them from another settlement). To start building it is necessary to activate godmode after placing the Workbench.

- This should allow you to be able to command a settler, such as a child who is normally not commandable.

- This should allow you to move a settler who is normally not movable, such as Marcy Long to another settlement.

- This should allow you to force a normally not movable settler to become a caravan.


 * Note: You will need to fast travel away from and back to the settlement for these above three commands to take effect.

- Scraps all eligible references in the loaded area.


 * Warning: Must be use after enter and exit workshop of that area and do this every time you use this command or several items in other area may also be scrapped. Things like doors to other cells, the doors to the basement in The Castle for an example. You will be unable to enter these areas if they are deleted. Be very careful when using this.
 * Note: Even if entering and exiting the workshop of that area, the command may scrap other objects in loaded areas outside of the intended area. Objects such as bobbleheads, perk magazines, farm plants and electrical wires. This is most notable when using  in the Red Rocket Truck stop outside of Sanctuary. Some objects closest to Red Rocket in Sanctuary will also be scrapped. This causes a bug where the game crashes directly to desktop on PC when attempting to manually scrap/store some indirectly affected objects such as electrical connection points that are missing wires.

Modifying Workshops
These commands modify settlement workshops, which can have an impact on the rest of the settlement.

To use these commands target the workshop with your console open. Or, you can use to target a settlement from the following list.

Size Budget
The size budget is a combination of triangle counts and draw calls and is configured for each settlement. Each object the player creates in the settlement will use a portion of both in the budget, with more complex objects using up more. The budget itself is tracked as actor values attached to the workbench. Note that in order to use these actor values you must use the numeric id as they do not have a usable console name.

The command will allow you to see the current values.
 * - Will show the current number of triangles used by the player.
 * - Will show the current number of draw calls used by the player.
 * - Will show the maximum value of the triangle budget for the settlement.
 * - Will show the maximum value of the draw call budget for the settlement.

The command will let you change the values.
 * - Will set the current number of triangles used by the player.
 * - Will set the current number of draw calls used by the player.
 * - Will set the maximum value of the triangle budget for the settlement.
 * - Will set the maximum value of the draw call budget for the settlement.

The command will allow you to increase or decrease the current values. Positive numbers increase value, negative decreases value. Allows the value to change.
 * - Will modify the current value of the triangles used by the player.
 * - Will modify the current value of the draw calls used by the player.
 * - Will modify the maximum value of the triangle budget for the settlement.
 * - Will modify the maximum value of the draw call budget for the settlement.

Decreasing the 348 and 34A values or increasing the 349 and 34B values will allow you to build more. Decreasing the 348 and 34A values can also be achieved in-game by using this exploit.

Note: The budgets are there for a reason, to keep players from building overly large settlements that could negatively impact performance. Using these commands to ignore the budgets could have consequences.(the first time you use it nothing might happen but as soon as you leave the settlement area you will not be able to access the area again and the game crashes every time you try to get close to your settlement or even fast travel there.)

Settlement resources
Power
 * - Show the current value
 * - Adds power to any generator. Including the fuse boxes on Spectacle Island and Home Plate in Diamond City

Food
 * - Show the current value
 * - Adds to the base food value provided by the plant.
 * Note: A settler can only work on 6 Food worth of crops at a time, regardless of how much a single plant may be set to produce. As such, for the ease of assigning settlers, it is not recommended to set this value higher than a total of 6 per crop (e.g., for mutfruit plants and  for any other crops).

Water
 * - Show the current value
 * - Adds to the base water value provided by the pump or purifier.

Defense
 * - Show the current value
 * - Sets the defence provided (for turrets), or adds to the base defence value for guard posts/towers.

Note: These commands can be used to make a resource object produce additional resource types. For example, a pump can be made to produce food and defence, as well as water. This will produce food without a settler assigned to it, since the pump does not normally require anyone assigned to it. This can be a useful workaround where building is restricted, for example to provide food at Boston Airport. Be aware that this trick does not necessarily work with all objects. Adding a new resource to an object that isn't already a resource producer means it does not show up in the top bar. Adding power to an object that doesn't have a power connection means the power cannot be used. So power can be added to a power conduit, and this will power things connected to it according to the power value available there, but the top bar will not change.

Beds

In Console Mode, first you need to click on a bed in a settlement.
 * - The returned value lets you know if a bed is sheltered ("1.00") or not ("0.00"). Sheltered beds are important to raise the happiness in a settlement.

Happiness

Enter the console command mode and click on the settlement workshop (actual object) before using these commands: Modify with these commands:
 * - Show the current Happiness value
 * - Show the current Bonus Happiness value. Bonus happiness is required to raise settlement Happiness from the cap without it of 80, to 100. This is provided by some crafted stores (check tooltips) and some NPCs: Junkyard dogs, Cats and Gorillas. Also possible from completing some settlement quests. Instead of the workshop, you can click on a specific object to get its individual Bonus Happiness value, for instance clicking on a Gorilla and typing will return 20.
 * - Show the current Happiness Target value. Your settlement happiness will gradually assume this value. Great to check how well your settlement is doing.

Note: the 'modav' command will add to the existing value. Alternatively, you can use the 'setav' command to set the exact value you want.

Papyrus scripts
The Papyrus scripting engine contains a large number of script functions many of which have no equivalent console command. You can call these functions from within the console using the following console commands.


 * or – Calls function on referenced target ID.
 * Example: this will attach the mod "46d90" (heavy armor) to the base item "536c4" (metal chest piece) in the targetID's inventory. You could use this after  to guarantee that at least one metal chest piece in the target's inventory will be the Heavy variant.
 * Function: The console searches for the function on any scripts currently attached to the reference. If multiple scripts are found with the same function, you will have to clarify which script using the "Script.Function" syntax. Make sure to encapsule Script.Function in quotes "".
 * Parameters: These are optional, and can be added if the called function needs them. Up to 10 parameters can be added, each separated by a space. If the parameter contains a space, encapsulate it in quotes "".
 * or – Calls a function on the specified quest.
 * or – Calls a global function.
 * Example: will display an ingame notification with the text "Hello there."
 * Note: Unlike CallFunction and CallQuestFunction this command requires that the function uses the "Script.Function" syntax.

Cheat scripts
On PC, place a text file (.txt) in Steam\Steamapps\Common\Fallout 4 with any and all of the below commands, ending with a semicolon and a new command on each line. To run the script while in-game, open the console and type without the file-type extension. For example, if the file name is "test.txt", simply type in-game to run the script and all of the commands will be applied instantly.

Using will spawn chest containing every single possible weapon X legendary combination in game.

Visual bug glitches & annoyances
There is currently a bug going around that involves locking the imagespace mod of the Recon sight and/or the Night vision sight. Use these two codes to correct them.

rimod 00094636; rimod 002041b6;

To completely disable all imagespace modifiers use the following command:

sisme 0;

This will disable all image space modifications which can hide some effects that tend to be more of an annoyance than a benefit (i.e. extreme brightness or blurriness when going stealth).
