Fallout cheats is an updated list of all Fallout 4 console commands for PC and Mac (Steam). Cheats in this list include those for all DLCs: Nuka-World, Automatron, Far Harbor.
Type the name of a command into the search box to instantly filter 134 commands. Hover over a command in the table to view argument help. Click the "Card View" button to view console commands in an easy-to-read format.
The key used to open the console in Fallout 4 depends on your keyboard layout. The most common keys are ~ (tilde), ` (grave, usually under ESC) and ' (apostrophe). If none of these work, or you are having issues using the console, please see our console help guide.
Target commands are commands that will apply their effect to the target you currently have selected. To select a target, click on an object, NPC or item whilst the console is open (its reference ID will then appear above the console in brackets). To deselect a target, simply click the target again. All target commands are indicted with a Target Command badge at the end of their description. Add player. to the start of a target console command to apply its effects to your character (e.g. player.additem instead of additem).
Reference ID Help Item Codes List Perk IDs Faction IDs Character and Global Variable IDs Weather IDs Skyrim Console Commands
| Command Name | Syntax | Description |
|---|---|---|
| player.addItem | player.additem [item code] [amount] [silent] | This command will add the item of the specified ID to your inventory. You can also specify an amount, which will make the command give you that amount of the item. If you specify a 1 at the end of the command (silent), no confirmation message will be shown. |
| player.removeAllItems | player.removeallitems | This command will clear your character's inventory (remove all items). |
| player.removeItem | player.removeitem [item code] [amount] | This command, as the name would suggest, removes the specified item from your inventory. If an amount is specified, it will remove that amount of the item. |
| player.kill | player.kill | This command will set your health to 0, killing you. |
| player.addperk | player.addperk [perk id] | This command will give your character the perk with the specified ID. |
| player.removeperk | player.removeperk [perk id] | The command will remove the perk with the specified ID from your character. |
| player.sexchange | player.sexchange | This command will change the sex of your character (switch between male and female). |
| player.setlevel | player.setlevel [level] | This cheat will set your character's level to level specified. |
| player.resethealth | player.resethealth | This command will restore your health to its maximum level (100%). |
| player.setrace | player.setrace [race id] | This cheat will change the race of your Fallout character, relative to the specified race. Use 'human' to return to normal form. NOTE: You may experience issues switching races if your character does not have default appearance settings. Use the 'showlooksmenu' command to change your character's looks. |
| player.getav | player.getav [character variable id] | This command will print to console the value of the specified player variable. For a list of player variable IDs, please see this page. |
| player.setav | player.setav [character variable id] [value] | This command will set the specified player variable to the specified value. |
| player.modav | player.modav [character variable id] [value] | This cheat is similar to the setav command, but instead of setting the player variable to specified value, it will add the value to the existing value. |
| player.forceav | player.forceav [character variable id] [value] | This command will forcefully set the specified player variable to the specified value. The difference between this command and setav is that this command will set the value of the player variable irrespective of all modifiers. For example, if you had +10 sneak from armor and used setav to set your sneak to 20, you'd have a total of 30 sneak but with this command, your total sneak would be 20 as it ignores all factors and changes the absolute value, not the base value. |

| showlooksmenu player 1 | showlooksmenu player 1 | This command will open up the looks menu so that you can change the look (e.g. hair, eyes, etc) of your character. |

In flycam mode, the camera becomes disconnected from your character - you can move it about to explore the world around your character (which will stay where it was when you enabled fly cam mode).

| ToggleSky | togglesky | This command toggles (enables and disables) the rendering of the sky. |
