Fallout 3 Console Commands

God mode: damage, radiation and drowning stop hurting you, ammunition never runs out and carry weight stops being a limit.

Toggle. Type tgm again to switch it off. Weapons and armor also stop wearing out.

Noclip: walk through walls and floors, float over gaps and get unstuck.

Toggle. Run it again to drop back to the ground. With an object selected in the console it toggles that object's collision instead of yours.

Change your movement speed. 100 is normal.

Example: player.setav speedmult 150 makes you 50 percent faster. Only you are affected, and very high values make collisions dangerous.

Raise (or lower) your maximum carry weight.

Example: player.modav carryweight 500 adds 500 to your limit, and a negative number takes it back. Prefer modav over forceav on your own character.

Refill your health and heal crippled limbs.

With an NPC selected, resethealth without the player. prefix does the same for them.

Add bottle caps, the game's money.

Change 1000 to any amount. Bobby pins use ID 0000000A, for example player.additem 0000000A 50.

Add any item to your inventory by form ID and quantity.

Type a real ID and number, not the angle brackets. Leading zeros can be dropped. player.additemhealthpercent <ItemID> <#> <0 to 1> adds the item at a set condition, for example 0.5 for half.

Take items out of your inventory, such as a stuck quest item.

The items are destroyed, not dropped. Read the ID of anything you carry with player.showinventory.

List everything you carry together with each item's ID.

player.inv is the short form.

Drop an item or object on the ground next to you.

Many items only accept a count of 1. To place an NPC or creature, use player.placeleveledactoratme <BaseID>.

Open the repair menu and fix your gear using your own Repair skill.

Repairs still cost caps, but the caps come back to you, so you need enough in your inventory and lose none.

Give yourself experience points.

A message shows the XP gained. Reaching level 20 takes 29,450 XP in total and level 30 takes 66,700.

Gain a level straight away.

Sets your XP to what the next level needs, so you level up as if you had earned it. getxpfornextlevel prints how much XP the next level requires.

Set your level number directly.

Only the number changes: you do not receive the skill points or perks those levels would give, and the GECK wiki recommends rewardxp instead.

Change the level cap.

The cap is 20, or 30 with Broken Steel. Game settings reset when you restart the game, so run it again each session.

Set a SPECIAL stat to an exact value.

Stats are strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck, each 1 to 10. setav fixes the value at the number you give.

Set a skill to an exact value.

Skills run 0 to 100. Names have no spaces: barter, bigguns, energyweapons, explosives, lockpick, medicine, meleeweapons, repair, science, smallguns, sneak, speech, unarmed.

Add to or subtract from any stat or skill.

Example: player.modav intelligence -2 lowers Intelligence by 2. The wiki says modav stops at the normal maximum, 10 for SPECIAL and 100 for skills.

Open the SPECIAL screen with extra points to spend.

You must spend every point to close the screen. If you are stuck, run cam, but not with the Pip-Boy open. addtagskills <#> does the same for extra tag skills.

Add a perk by form ID. Adding one you already have raises its rank.

IDs below are base-game IDs. Perks from the five add-ons start with that add-on's load-order digits instead of 00, so these IDs do not work for them.

Remove a perk.

Use the same ID you added it with.

Intense Training: one more SPECIAL point each time you add it.

Opens the SPECIAL screen with a point to spend, and the screen will not close until you spend it. If every stat is already 10, use cam to get out. It has 10 ranks.

Here and Now: an immediate level-up.

Do not add it at the level cap.

Power Armor Training: lets you wear power armor.

setpccanusepowerarmor 1 is a shortcut that allows power armor without the perk, and setpccanusepowerarmor 0 turns it off again.

Add Karma, or remove it with a negative number.

Examples: player.rewardkarma 250 or player.rewardkarma -250. A message shows the change. player.getav karma prints your current Karma.

Open the Gene Projector to change sex, race, face and hair.

Changing race switches your perks off until you remove and re-add them. showbarbermenu opens hair only, showplasticsurgeonmenu opens the face only, and player.sexchange flips your sex.

Rename your character.

Opens the name screen at no cost.

Select an NPC or object by reference ID, even if you cannot see it.

Clicking something with the console open selects it too. prid player selects yourself. Most commands in this section act on the selected target.

Kill the selected NPC or creature.

Click the target with the console open first.

Kill every NPC and creature in the loaded area.

It can also kill quest characters and companions, so save first.

Bring a dead or knocked-out NPC back to life.

Their inventory is re-rolled. Save first: the GECK wiki warns it can crash the game, and resurrect 1 can drop the NPC through the floor.

Switch off combat AI so enemies stop attacking.

Toggle. Run it again to switch combat back on. tai turns off all AI, not just combat.

Remove the selected NPC or object from the world.

enable brings it back. Running markfordelete on a disabled object removes it permanently.

Bring the selected companion or NPC to your position.

Select first with a click or prid <RefID>. player.moveto <RefID> does the reverse and moves you to them. openteammatecontainer 1 opens a swap-gear window with the selected NPC. Other reference IDs: Jericho 00003B5D, Clover 000384D8, Sergeant RL-3 00094285, Star Paladin Cross 00062735.

Make the selected NPC unkillable, or mortal again.

Use 0 instead of 1 to make them mortal again. It takes the base ID, not the reference ID. Example for Dogmeat: setessential 0006A772 1, after which he is knocked out instead of killed.

Select Dogmeat.

Dogmeat's reference ID. His base ID for setessential is 0006A772.

Select Charon.

Charon's reference ID. His base ID for setessential is 000156F6.

Select Fawkes.

Fawkes' reference ID. His base ID for setessential is 0003D34E.

Teleport to a named cell.

Cell names are in the Cell name field of each location's page on the Fallout Wiki. The wiki's own example is coc RivetCityExterior01.

Teleport to the Megaton main gate.

A quick way to get outdoors when you are in an interior.

Teleport to a hidden test room that holds a copy of every item.

The containers include cut and unused items. You can only leave by console, for example with coc MegatonMainGate.

Teleport to your current quest target.

Add 1 or 2 to pick another target when a quest has several. It can drop you in odd or dangerous spots.

Unlock the selected door, safe, container or terminal.

Click the lock or terminal with the console open first. It does not work on doors locked from the other side. lock <0 to 255> locks things again: 0 is very easy, 50 average and 255 needs a key.

Show every Pip-Boy map marker and make each one a fast-travel destination.

tmm 0 hides them again. It does not change the locations discovered count.

Toggle fog of war on the Pip-Boy local map.

Run it again to switch it back.

Toggle the free camera for screenshots.

tfc 1 also freezes the world while you move the camera. Switch to third person first if you want your character in the shot. fov <#> changes the field of view, and fov 90 gives a wider view without much distortion.

Hide or show the HUD and menus.

Handy for clean screenshots. Run it again to bring the interface back.

Switch to a weather type by form ID.

Examples from the Fallout Wiki's weather table: fw 00064609 (WastelandClear) and fw 0001D776 (MegatonCloudy01). Add 1 after the ID to hold the weather until ReleaseWeatherOverride is run.

Change how fast game time passes.

30 is the default and 1 is real time. Do not change it while NPCs you spawned are fighting; the wiki says that can crash the game.

Set the time of day.

Hours run 0 to 24 and can have decimals, so 4.5 is 4:30 am and 12 is noon. It takes effect when you close the console.

Jump a quest to a given stage.

The stage is marked done and its results run; a quest that is not running is started, and a stage that does not exist does nothing. Quest IDs are form IDs such as 00014E8B (The Waters of Life) or editor IDs such as MQ05. getstage <QuestID> prints the highest finished stage.

List a quest's stages and whether each one has been set.

Use it to find the stage number you need for setstage.

Mark every objective of a quest as completed.

Useful for a bugged objective. completequest <QuestID> only flags the quest as complete, according to the GECK wiki: it runs no stages and gives no rewards.

Reset a quest to its starting state.

Clears its stages, objectives and variables, so you lose that quest's progress. It is also used to re-hire a companion whose dialogue has broken.

Complete every stage of every quest, including ones you never started.

Effectively wipes the quest log and can leave a save unfinishable. Only use it on a throwaway save.

List every console command.

Page Up and Page Down scroll the output. Many entries are leftover debug commands that do not work properly.

Save the game under a name you choose.

load <Name> loads it again.

Quit straight to the desktop without going through the menus.

exit shows the credits and returns to the main menu instead.

Add Stimpaks, which heal 30 hit points and can fix crippled limbs.

Other chems: Med-X 00050F8F, Jet 00015164, Mentats 00015165, Psycho 00015166. Each of these can cause addiction.

The matching helmet is 000A6F78. Wearing power armor needs the Power Armor Training perk (00058FDF).

Add Tesla armor, which boosts Energy Weapons and radiation resistance.

The matching helmet is 0006B465. It also needs Power Armor Training.

Add Enclave power armor.
