Survival mode console command re-enable?

[Danielviomusic]

I tried using several mods to re-enable console commands in survival, but none of them are working for me. Does anyone know a reliable method to do this? Losing a save game because of a bug and the bold decision to block console commands is unacceptable.

1. go to options, change difficulty
2. anything other than survival will enable the console in legit way
3. use your console, fix your problems
4. cgf "Game.IncrementStat" "Survival Denied" -1
5. go to options and turn survival back on (after using the command above)

What do you mean "none of them are working" ?
The oldest one "Console enabler" (the one that adds bEnableConsoleMenuDuringSurvival Game Settings entry)

still works for me to this day.

Which ones have you tried?

Survival Unlocker works.

Wow, I know I have a mod that unlocks console for survival, but I can not find it....

Maybe it got merged with another mod like UOF4P or Better Console and I removed it because it was obsolete.

Tried this one:

Some people on Reddit told me it works for them. But when I install it using Vortex, enter the game and press º nothing happens...

I've read about this solution somewhere else. Does it have any effect on the long term run? Like, I don't know, disabling achievements? I already have a mod that re-enables achievements.

You press what? " º "
?????
Maybe it's your keyboard settings or something?

Cause console is enabled by pressing " ~ " not whatever this " º " is.
Knowing Bethesda i wouldn't be surprised if certain Keyboards or their language settings wouldn't be able to open console.

And the fact that you say that none of the survival console enabler mods work for you makes this theory even more plausible.

Well my keyboard definitely does not have the american layout, but however you want to call that key it's the one right next to 1. So I'm possitive I am using the right key.

I would do a search for "Fallout 4 console key for (keyboard type)" because like Alucard said, pretty sure you aint pushing the right key due to using a foreign keyboard. I seen this quite a few times in the forums.

The console key depends on the keyboard locale.

Helpful foreigners have posted lists on the interweb.

I dont think it affects your achievements, achievements are diasabled when you used mods.

If you mean starting in survival and going all the way with survival might give you a special achievement when you 'finish' the game? well there is no finish the game, just main quest line.

It was a thing in FNV, where the game was actually ending and you were warned in the beginning, if you start and keep survival mode all along the game you will be rewarded.

when you come to think of it, game infact doesnt let you reenable survival actually. you use a console command to reenable it. it has a variable 'Survival denied' and it inceases by one (+1) when you give up from survival and there is no way to go back in normal ways. So when you used that command to reset that variable you go back and game think you were there from the beginning.

plus game never ends, when will you get that imaginary achievement? at level 100? 200? after the main quest? when you cleared all the map? (it refreshes duh).

Console in Fo4 ( ~ ) dont work in survival mode of game cuz of preventing players to use cheats.
I have one of Character 100+ in survival and didnt have any bug or glitch i dont play it for achievments i play it cuz its harder cuz u need different approach when u explore and fight and i can say for sure its more fun then on normal mode!

[Jouchebag]

I always use Survival Options, but that's because it does more than just enable the console. Has always worked great.

I use Buffout 4 to re-enable achievements in a modded game, but that's, again, bigger than what you need. I've used the F4SE achievements enabler before with great effect:

But I also know people who use the non-F4SE version and it works as well:

[The Inept European]

I did not know there was a non-F4SE version! Thanks!

cgf "Game.IncrementStat" "Survival Denied" -1

That code will enable you to turn survival mode back on.

No Mod needed.

On a side note: Unlimited Survival has all the original survival options but the non-survival save mode which is vastly more reliable with buggy Fallout.

[The Inept European]

It's only bad mod interactions that make the game buggy.
