The perk "Never get locked out of terminals" not working

[bacca400-stm]

My system: Fallout 4 v1.10.163 (with 6 DLCs: Nuka World, Far Harbor, Creation Club, Contraptions, Wasteland Workshop, etc) installed on C: SSD. I use Vortex Mod Manager to manage mods.

These mods are active: Cheat Terminal 1.69, Faster Terminal Display Creation Kit version 3.0, Gun for Hire v1.1.7, Instant Kill Headshots 1.0, Keep Radiant quests in Commonwealth v1.11, Legendary Modification v1.75 to make weapons legendary, Loot Detector v3800, Shaikujin's Better Warning v5.1, SKS settlement Attack System v012, Unofficial Fallout 4 patch 2.1.4.

I got the perk "Never get locked out of terminals" but it doesn't work. It's the level 4 Hacker perk. I even rebooted my PC, got a Steam update, and I have the Unofficial Fo4 patch but it still doesn't work. I still get locked out of terminals if I guess the password wrong 3 times.

Is there a fix for this? Can I fix this via a console command? I wouldn't know what the console command is for this one.

Thanks!

Which perk would that be? The only perk I know of (Nick Valentines companion perk, Close to Metal) doesn't remove the lockout but reduces the lockout time. You already can't be permanently locked out, its just a 10 second timer (5 with the perk).

Edit: Oh, right. The rank 4 Hacker perk. Never took that one personally, as it is mostly useless. Like I said, you can't be permanently locked out anyway.

I struggle with the reasoning behind creating that perk. The only way any character of mine would ever spend a point on that worthless thing, is if it was the last perk. Even then... I'd just leave the extra perk point in limbo.

...for ever.

I sure wouldn't go out of my way to force it.

EDIT: I take that back... Ghoulish would be the last perk.

@steventirey The wording of the Hacker level 4 perk is "When hacking you never get locked out of a terminal when things go wrong." I just checked it. Which I assumed to mean there will never be a 10 second cooldown before you can try to hack the terminal again.

well, I try 3/4 words and close-reopen quickly, (with nicks perk, i can try 4/5 passwords now) Never got that perk you mentioned, with it, you get kicked but you can try again immidiately right? well its the same thing, without the perk, with 1 less try.

There is a Mountain of Stupid built into FO4 and FO76, because it's entirely built upon FO4. The change from Skill Point to Perk Card is a system that I Sincerely hope they DO NOT bring into FO5. So much of it is pointless and useless or utterly OP..

I don't like the skill card system in FO76 either. I think they were trying to appeal to card gamers. But when they try to be all things to all people the product just turns out bad.

Why would you even spec into that perk in the first place, there is a mod that allows hacking of terminals first time everytime anyway. That works for me as I dont want to spend extra time hacking a terminal anyway. I get that it should work but in all the hrs I played this I never ever spent a point on that perk as a waste of a point in my book.
