Downward leveling

[Winchester]

I know it's been asked before but all I could find were answers from a couple of years ago,
Does anyone know any way whether or not it's a mod , console command or a save editor to level your character down?

Thanks in advance

could try adding negative xp to your character, but other than that no clue. It might mess with quest timings and leveled list that are tied to your character's level.

Soon as I know, downward leveling is not possible. However, level number is changable, and you can also remove perks level. However, the UI can get buggy and confusing. If you getting bored from too high level, try raising the difficulty level.

The under line, possible, but in tricky way.

If at any point you want to remove the perk, you type “player.removeperk[PerkID].” Then press enter.

player.setlevel [insert number] — Boost/Lower
your level to the number specified.

You might consider a mod that removes level scaling from vanilla monsters / npcs. In the vanilla game you will reach your maximum damage at some point past level 50, while mobs get more health every level. An example would be

You can see the mods max levels per monster set by the mod if you look at the mod via FO4Edit. This way you still get level 100 mobs but you won't need 12 fusion cores to kill a single ghoul.

Every attempt at creating a level cap for the player has failed afaik. There should also be no reliable way to lower your level.

I'm building a huge town and I'm level 43 or something now, didn't even start the story, I'll step one side outside my town when I'm done and die lol

Level 43 stepping into level 5 zone, how will you die ? Max. required level in game is 60.

Pretty sure you have mods doing something way wrong, then, because if you're level 43 you should not just "step outside and die".

What huge town? What mods? Where are you building?

Happens to me all the time on normal, it is called too much building and sticking around Concord and investing into too many non-combat skills. Then once you hit south of Diamond City almost everything kills you in one shot (especially random encounter that have no level limits) until your combat skills and gear catch up.

Why I play Horizon where it takes forever to level because building and crafting xp is removed and other xp is removed. The other nice thing about Horizon is mobs and you do not scale with level so there is no bullet sponge effect the higher you get (which is what I assume you are aiming to avoid?)

Another thing is Horizon completely removes mob level limits by zone, lol.

I tried. Game console said you can't do that.

I think Thunder Strike gave you the best answer. Mark it so the topic can be closed.

It would be the best answer if it was right but unfortunately that command doesn't work, all it takes is a small test to see if something works before you suggest it as a solution to other people's problems.
