Custom console commands

[Daetil]

Do you know if I'd be able to create a custom command to run on the console? Something like a script to run multiple console commands at once?

I know I could use a mod (that probable already exists and covers what I need) but I'm curious about this!

So for instance, I would run a few commands to add materials to my inventory, however, instead of running commands one by one or adding them all separate by ";", I'd create a script (in or out of the game) and would simply call it when I want all those items.

This is probably some basics of modding the game, but I have zero knowledge of it, so thought about asking this specifically!

Thanks for any help!

You can use a .bat file.

Some things are easy to do using a bat file for example if we wanted to stop our companion from drawing their gun when we do we could make a txt file with the command.

cf "actor.Removekeyword" TeammateReadyWeapon_DO

Then execute in the console by using the command "bat filename" without the quotes filename being what we named the txt file we saved in the folder the fallout4.exe file is located.

But if we wanted to for example add a lot of building materials we would need to know the load order of the DLC or mod the item comes from then run something like this.

additem 1bf72d 999
additem 1bf72e 999

Sure, why destroy your game experience when you can totally obliterate it

Its up to each individual how they want to play the game Personally I prefer the chalange when actually playing the game however when creating then testing a mod sometimes we have to cut corners or it would take years to fully test and debug one for release.

Especially when we add perk and level restrictions to certain parts.

After 3300 hrs and too many restarts, personally, I got tired of scrounging for building materials. I have used bat files for building my settlements for quite some time now. I enjoy the building, hate the forever running out of materials when I'm 1/2 way through.

As someone recently pointed out to me: The Workshop Extended (IIRC) mod allows an unlimited build mode.

Otherwise the bat files a lot of people use are functional, but seriously clunky. Seems unnecessary.

Most of those mods add too much that I am not interested in, are heavily scripted and slow the loading screens down too much. i would rather use console codes that I make no impact on the game performance.
As for clunky, why have a mod running constantly rather than typing "bat buildmats" and its done.

I couldn't have said it better!
