Radiant quests, along with the perk Idiot Savant

shoot n loot. all actions give xp, lev up by doing stuff. you get xp for building in settlement too,

[Vinnie Mack]

if you have high intelligence, it also helps. If you don't mind building, that is a very fast way to gain a couple levels, depending on what level you are at now. If you have a lot of wood, build fence posts. If you have a lot of cloth and rubber, build mats.

As a note, there comes a point where more levels starts making the game harder.
The highest level version of every creature (and 5 of the 8 deathclaw types) have autolevel, which means they are always equal to your level and gain 5 hitpoints for every level you are over their minimum level.

For example, at level 68 Super Mutant Warlords have 1535 hitpoints.
If you are level 268 they will also be level 268 and have 2535 hitpoints.

By level ~50 you can have all the relevant perks and top end items, so continuing to level just gives you (and most enemies) more hitpoints.

you can get all the perks from the get go before leaving Vault 111, but you've got to calculate in the fact that you may not want certain perks

perks I avoid PC only console command

Awareness
Bloody Mess
Cannibal
Party Boy/Party Girl
Nerd Rage!
Mister Sandman
Mysterious Stranger

so I always set my perk level to player.setlevel 214 and that gives me enough perk points for all the perks I need

Curious, why would you want to dilute your game like this?

I don't like mining for xp points for 2 months to get to my desired level, and there's no such thing as cheating in a single player game!..

Actually there is.
Cheating by definition is playing the game in an unintended way, or ruining the game for others.
Obviously singleplayer doesn't fall into the second category, but considering the developer console is built in and ready for use you can't really "cheat" in that sense if it's readily available to you, for others, using a trainer or hack tools would obviously be cheating since you're modifying the game and using it in an unintended way.

But the fact of the matter is you can't really "cheat" in fallout 4 unless it's third party but even then they literally give you access to functions to change the game so I don't see why anyone would.

kill anyone you meet for bonus xp

sleeping gives bonus xp perk


build jet and farm poo

Cheat codes were called cheat codes in single player games since the NES (possibly further back, but I've only been gaming since the NES). So there is a historical precedent for cheating in single player games.

Sleep and Squirrel Stew, then do a ridiculous amount of building in a settlement. Then tear it all down and repeat.

[Zaris]

You level quite fast anyway. In my last playthrough i started and just got every settlement position and did not much quests on that way, discovered the main cities and after i've got ~28 settlements i was already lvl45 just by running around and building up settlements and of course the quests to unlock them.

After that i explored the map, tried to get all fast travel positions i could found and doing some quests on the way and was lvl60. Far Harbor and so on got me to lvl70.

Like the others said, with around lvl60 you have all necessary perks like:
- lockpick, science
- weapon, armor, high tech crafting
- 1-2 weapon masteries
- barter
- headshot boni dmg, sneak

After that theres not much left to skill which has any real benefit.

Can download a mod that makes the Idiot Savant perk trigger more often. It makes the game a little easier in the beginning since you are super weak early, and a few extra perk points goes a long way.

In the long run when you are over level 70 or something and you have all the damage and survival perks you want the game gets harder since all you get from there on are perks that does nothing for damage or survival, while your enemies gain more health.
