That doesn't work, or at least didn't when I tried it. Lots of items seem to get stuck in the inventory.

I can't remove them from my inventory either. Though while annoying, thankfully they don't have weight otherwise I'd take more extreme measures.

Yeah all those items that build up in your inventory become a little annoying after many hours of play. Its like all the recording you can play, what the hell were they thinking of when they didnt have something in place to say if we have actually listened to them already or not.

I put all that stuff in a wall shelf I built in one of my settlements.

The recordings themselves aren't really a problem. I've found a couple that actually are quest related but otherwise, I've gotten rid of them all.

You can't. They're quest items. They don't weigh anything anyway so there's no real point.

yeah but then theres the passwords and other stuff. its just hard to know what we will need down the line and so fourth. Im sure they could have come up with a better, less cluttered system. It would have been best if they had gone into a Quest or invisible inventory. Modding will sort it our no doubt.

Brilliant! how did you find these codes? I think there are more of them besides these 4 but this is a brilliant start ty!

[Matt]

These should be the only four left in your inventory.

The Lithium Hydride and Gold are placed in the reagent receptacle and the U-238 isotope in its own receptacle to then craft the Piezonucleic power armor chest piece.

If you override the clean room door, the whole building attacks you. Maybe that's how you still have them in your inventory. I'll look for the item ids.

[Matt]

Here are the codes for the remaining items:

Lithium Hydride

player.removeitem 000A50F7 1

Gold

player.removeitem 000A50F5 1

U-238 Isotope

player.removeitem 00099CE7 1

Thank you guys. This is one of the most important reasons to buy Fallout for PC.

[smoky mcpot]

I don't understand why you couldn't just drop them as they were not classed as quest items for me i just threw them in my junk safe in sanctuary along with 90% of the other crap in the miscellaneous section. Maybe it's because of a mod?

But i agree with serrel above that the game needs some sort of way to flag hollotapes and notes to let you know you have listened to or read them.

I ended up with the same issue with these, thank you for posting the ref IDs.
On another note, if you aren't aware already, there's a mod that brings back the keyring from 3 and New Vegas called KeyNuker, and it also comes as part of a pack called DEF_UI over on the Nexus.
