Console commands to respecc be points?

I invested into toughness knowing dang well it crap in new vegas, and here I am surprised it's still trash in fallout 4. Anyway to refund skill points with console commands to be used elsewhere?

Toughness by itself is horible but if you actually raise up the perks that it helps out and works with toughness is really good and keeps you alive quite well. But i do not think there is a way to refund skill points

Can I take it away and then give my self new points then?

I don't recommend removing any spent talents for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that you need the specific ID for every perk you plan to change. It can also cause strange calculation issues with stats and damage.

Instead I would just give yourself more perk points and being more selective in the future.

Agreed with Jouchebag.

If you know anything about Bethesda games is that tinkering with its files or console commands is a 1 way trip to save corruption.

Give yourself extra perk points and play it safe.

I don't think it will cause what I would call "save corruption" (that sounds more like a problem with file data), but it might make the game behave oddly.

It won't make you fall in a heap to manually remove the perks, but as Jouchebag has said, it's fiddly to do, and you may get strange results, whether temporarily or permanently (I'd lean towards temporary for Toughness, but you never know).

The best way to handle something you're not sure about is to save first, then revert if it doesn't go well.

stick to the add perk points command, I have had issues when removing perks. The perks I removed or added manually would work but not 100% of the time, depending on how long a loading screen was, e.g. lock picking would work not 100% of the time for master and above locks as the game just forgot I had the skill.

One last question. If I add points via console command will the achievements for hitting certain levels not trigger?

[Jouchebag]

There aren't any achievements related to perk points...

Even then, if you were to actually change your level then you would still get the achievements.

Mods disable achievements, the console doesn't.

In my experience, the console does disable achievements but only for that one play session (i.e. until the game is exited.) Maybe something's changed since I went for the achievements tho.

[Pinger]

yep if you use the console until you reload achievements don't track, so unless you use a cheat command like TGM for godmode command then F5 andf F9 and achievements track again

So you can add points that don't require you to manually give yourself levels as well? You sure that wouldn't break anything? I can have 4 perk points being only level 3?

Yes, it works just fine.

The game may give you one perk point to spend every level, but it doesn't thereafter link them together or otherwise track how you got the points.

Is it really too hard to google 'FO4 console commands'? The wiki has a complete list of them - including how to add or remove attribute and perks.
