Fallout New Vegas Console Commands

God mode: you take no damage, your ammo never runs out and your carry weight is unlimited.

Toggle. Type tgm again to switch it off. Use tdm instead if you want ammunition to keep running out.

Demigod mode: your health never drops, but ammunition is still used and you still reload.

Toggle. New Vegas only; the command does not exist in Fallout 3. Most guides say carry weight is unlimited in this mode too, though two say it is not.

Refill your hit points and repair crippled limbs.

Leave off the player. prefix and resethealth works on the NPC you have selected instead.

Set the condition of the weapon you are holding to a percentage; 100 is a full repair.

Use any number from 1 to 100. Only the weapon in your hands is changed.

Open the repair menu so you can mend your own gear with your Repair skill, the way a vendor would.

Any caps charged are paid straight back to you, so repairs cost nothing overall, but you need enough caps in hand to cover each repair. Running srm without the player. prefix on an NPC who does not repair gear usually crashes the game.

Toggle collision (noclip): pass through walls and floors and drift freely. Also the standard fix for a character stuck in the scenery.

Run it again to settle back onto the ground. If an object is selected in the console, tcl toggles that object's collision instead of yours, so click away from targets first.

Toggle the free camera, which detaches the view from your character for screenshots or scouting.

tfc 1 also pauses the world while the camera stays movable. Switch to third person first if you want your character in the shot. sucsm <#> sets how fast the free camera moves.

Toggle the HUD and all menus on or off, handy for clean screenshots.

The console text disappears along with everything else, so type tm again blind to bring the interface back.

Reveal every location marker on the Pip-Boy map and make them available for fast travel.

tmm 0 hides them again. tmm 1 0 1 shows all markers, including hidden ones, without letting you fast travel to them. The Explorer perk (ID 00031DE5) is the in-game way to have every location marked on your map.

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

Skip the angle brackets. Base-game IDs start with 00 and the leading zeros can be dropped, so player.additem 8ED03 300 adds 300 9mm rounds. Items arrive in full condition. Add-on (DLC) items start with the add-on's load-order number instead of 00, shown as XX on wikis.

Add bottle caps, the game's money.

Example: player.additem 0000000F 10000 adds 10,000 caps.

Take items out of your inventory, such as quest items that have become stuck.

Use player.showinventory to read the ID of anything you are carrying.

List everything you are carrying together with each item's ID.

player.inv does the same thing.

Spawn an NPC, creature, container or object next to you by base ID.

It needs a base ID, not a reference ID, and the spawn lands right on top of you, so stand somewhere open. Many items accept only an amount of 1. Do not use it to retrieve a companion, because it creates a clone; use prid and moveto player instead.

Make power armor wearable without completing the quests that normally unlock it.

Use setpccanusepowerarmor 0 to turn the ability off again, even if you earned it normally.

Open the workbench crafting menu from anywhere.

Campfire recipes use player.showrecipemenu 0013B2C0. The Sierra Madre vending machine category is XX0103A0, where XX is the Dead Money load-order number.

Set your character level directly.

Only the level number changes. For the skill points and perk picks that normal leveling gives, use player.rewardxp or player.advlevel. The level cap is 30 in the base game and rises by 5 with each of the four add-ons, up to 50.

Gain one level at once, including its level-up rewards.

It does not add experience points, so you will not level again until you have earned the XP that the skipped levels would have needed.

Give yourself experience points; any levels you earn are applied immediately, one after another.

Example: player.rewardxp 15000. The level cap still applies (30 in the base game, up to 50 with all four add-ons).

Raise or lower a SPECIAL attribute. Valid names: strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility, luck.

The number is added to the current value, so player.modav strength 2 adds 2 and a negative number subtracts. The result stops at the normal maximum of 10.

Raise or lower a skill. Valid names, each written as one word: barter, energyweapons, explosives, guns, lockpick, medicine, meleeweapons, repair, science, sneak, speech, survival, unarmed.

Example: player.modav energyweapons 25 adds 25 points. The result stops at 100.

Set a skill or SPECIAL attribute to an exact value.

Example: player.forceav medicine 50. Skills accept 1 to 100 and SPECIAL accepts 1 to 10. forceav overrides the game's own recalculation, so later changes such as gaining Strength no longer update that stat; the Fallout Wiki suggests modav when you may want to undo a change. player.setav <ActorValue> <#> is the other common way to set a value.

Raise your carry capacity by the amount you give.

Example: player.modav carryweight 150 adds 150 to your limit. The Fallout Wiki warns that editing carry weight directly can interfere with Strength raising your capacity afterward.

Change your movement speed as a percentage, where 100 is normal.

Use 50 to halve your speed and 200 to double it. Set it back to 100 to return to normal.

Add Karma, or remove it by using a negative number.

Examples: rewardkarma 100 and rewardkarma -1000. player.getav karma shows your current Karma.

Turn Hardcore mode on or off.

Use 1 to turn it on and 0 to turn it off.

Give yourself a perk or trait by form ID.

The perk takes effect even if you do not meet its level or stat requirements. Adding Intense Training opens the SPECIAL screen at once with a point to spend.

Remove a perk or trait you have.

Removing Intense Training does not take back the SPECIAL point it gave.

Intense Training perk ID: one extra point in any SPECIAL attribute per rank, up to 10 ranks. Use with player.addperk.

Educated perk ID: two extra skill points every time you level up. Use with player.addperk.

Comprehension perk ID: one extra skill point from each skill book and double points from skill magazines. Use with player.addperk.

Cannibal perk ID: lets you eat human corpses while sneaking to regain health, at a cost in Karma. Use with player.addperk.

Reopen the race, sex and face editor from character creation.

Changing race this way can switch your perks off; remove and re-add them afterward. Save first.

Open the hairstyle menu only.

Open the menu that lets you rename your character.

Open the face editor.

Open the trait menu so you can pick your traits again.

Add fame (1) or infamy (0) with a faction or town.

Example: addreputation 000F43DE 1 5 adds 5 points of NCR fame. Reputation tops out at 100 and the game handles about 5 points per command, so repeat it for bigger changes. Idolized needs fame of 90 and infamy below 4. These reputation IDs are not the faction IDs used by setally and addtofaction.

Subtract fame (1) or infamy (0) with a faction or town.

Example: removereputation 000F43DD 0 5 removes 5 points of Caesar's Legion infamy. Values stop at 0.

Set fame (1) or infamy (0) with a faction or town to a specific value.

Example: setreputation 0011E662 1 5 sets Brotherhood of Steel fame to 5. Values run from 0 to 100.

New California Republic (NCR) reputation ID. Use as the first argument of addreputation, removereputation and setreputation.

Caesar's Legion reputation ID. Use as the first argument of addreputation, removereputation and setreputation.

The Fallout Wiki notes that raising Legion reputation while Boone is your companion can make him question you or leave.

Brotherhood of Steel reputation ID. Use as the first argument of addreputation, removereputation and setreputation.

Kill the NPC you have selected.

Click the target with the console open, or pick it with prid <RefID>. Killing quest characters can fail their quests.

Kill every non-invincible NPC and creature nearby.

Allies are hit too: companions are knocked unconscious outside Hardcore mode but killed in Hardcore mode. Essential characters you cannot see can be caught as well, which can break quests.

Bring the selected dead NPC back to life.

Their inventory is re-rolled, so their items may change; resurrect 1 keeps the original inventory. It does not undo a quest failure caused by their death.

Toggle combat AI so NPCs stop fighting.

Toggle. NPCs stay hostile but stop attacking.

Toggle detection so NPCs cannot notice you, which gives perfect stealth.

Toggle.

Select an NPC or object by reference ID, the same as clicking it, even when it is out of view.

Most NPC commands need a selected target. Reference IDs are different from base IDs, and leading zeros can be dropped (prid 96bce).

Teleport the selected NPC to you, for example a companion that got lost.

Select the NPC with prid <RefID> first. They can pop in on top of your character. player.moveto <RefID> does the reverse and moves you to them.

Open the selected NPC's inventory as if they were a companion, so you can move items to or from them.

Select Craig Boone by his reference ID.

Follow it with moveto player to bring him to you, or run player.moveto 00096BCE to go to him. This is his reference ID, not his base ID.

Select Arcade Gannon by his reference ID.

Follow it with moveto player to bring him to you, or run player.moveto 0010D8EB to go to him. This is his reference ID, not his base ID.

Unlock the door, safe, container or terminal you have selected.

Type unlock, then click the target. It can fail on a few locks, and forcing a door that is not meant to open can drop you into an empty pit.

Lock the selected door, container or terminal at a chosen difficulty.

0 is very easy, 25 easy, 50 average, 75 hard and 100 very hard; a higher number makes it require a key.

Teleport to a location by its cell editor ID.

Use the editor ID from the Fallout Wiki cell list, not the hex form ID; for example coc Goodsprings takes you to Goodsprings. It does not work for every location, can freeze weaker PCs and can drop you into a pit. Avoid it from inside a Strip casino, where it can cost you your confiscated weapons.

Set how fast in-game time passes. The default is 30; 1 runs the clock at real-time speed.

Save first. The Fallout Wiki warns the game can crash if NPCs created with placeleveledactoratme or moveto player enter combat while the timescale is changed.

Jump the in-game clock to a chosen hour.

The change applies once you close the console and unpause. Back up your save first.

Force the clear Mojave weather and hold it there.

fw takes a weather ID, and the 1 stops the weather from changing back by itself. Only this one New Vegas weather ID was confirmed; the Fallout Wiki's weather table is Fallout 3 data.

Release a forced weather so the normal weather cycle resumes.

Short form: rwo.

Teleport to your current quest target.

Avoid it from inside a Strip casino, where it can cost you your confiscated weapons.

Mark a quest as complete.

For getting past a bugged quest, the Fallout Wiki recommends setstage over completing the whole quest.

Move a quest to a specific stage, the usual fix for a bugged quest.

Stage numbers differ for every quest. Jumping to the wrong stage can leave a quest stuck, so keep a backup save.

Reset a quest so it can be started again.

It also removes the quest from your log, and you may have to redo other quests before it is offered again. It can also repair a companion's hire quest when that companion starts giving only generic replies.

Complete every stage of every quest in the game, including quests you have not started.

This wipes out all quests without ending the game. Use it only on a throwaway save.

Stimpak: the basic healing item.

Super Stimpak: a stronger healing item with a short Strength and Agility penalty.

RadAway: removes radiation.

Lucky: a unique .357 Magnum revolver.

Ranger Sequoia: a unique .45-70 Gov't revolver.

T-45d power armor.

Wearing it needs Power Armor Training or setpccanusepowerarmor 1.
