Proper console command for leveling and perks.

[moody]

So I want to start a new game and use console commands for leveling and perks.

What is the most useful way of doing this?

player.setlevel to 50?

And then just add perk points to unlock everything?

Levelling by console is risky, as is adding perks. Many pitfalls await the unwary.

Here be dragons.

Cannot stress enough that if you want to "play the game" you should actually play it. If you want to "break the game" this is a compellingly strong way of going about it.

player.modav experience 98000 will drop enough experience on you to level up to level 50 in a few seconds and you will receive all perk points on the way for every levelup like in normal gameplay. Never use the setwhatnot command.

Same goes for player.modav carryweight.

Yes this is the safest way to do it - give yourself XP rather than directly giving levels or perks.

Even so it is not without risks and can break your game.

Indeed.

I can only say there exist a full guide on nexus.

console command

cgf "game.addperkpoints" 200

this gives you 200 perk points to invest it will not bypass level limits or other restrictions on the perks or change the characters level. It is actually the safest way to use the pipboy menu to add perks or increase special stats.

As stated no console command use is without risk a simple typo can drastically alter what we change even break the game. I made a typo once resetting a settlements full meter and had to reload the game as the workshop vanished completely with no way to find or recover it all it took was one number being off on the variable I was changing.

player.addperk perkid adds the perk to player. Perk Ids = https://falloutcheats.com/perks
player.setlevel newlevel where newlevel is the value of the level that you want to be.

You can put it in a text file and then in console ...
bat mycheats

OR you can use the Cheat console... it does the same stuff.

Have fun. I must have started from scratch to "leveled up" to demigod mod dozens of times, just to have the game get borked by bad quicksaves. then you start over where the mosquitoes kill you. Using the console you can start a new game and pick up nearly where you left off.
I've never had a problem with these codes or the cheat console.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I tried player.setlevel to 50. Then cgf "game.addperkpoints" 100 and then as many as i needed for all perks without having extra.

So far everything works great. I've had no problems while creating guns as I have read sometimes players come across trying to do something and game states you do not have the right perk. All the matters is you upgrade perks one at a time instead of console to upgrade max perk in one command.

Yes on thing people do not realize is that there is actually multiple perks as they level up so if you directly add it you can get lvl 3 or higher but not have levels 1 & 2 or any below the maximum and the crafting requirements literally check for the version it requires to see if you have it.

so if it wants perk level 1 it will give the same error as not having the perk.

Also you can use this command: CGF "Game.RewardPlayerXP" 5000

Change 5000 to whatever number you like.

I have always done the player XP add......when you hit enter the points just start rolling off and it unlocks your levels and the perks along with it.......it may take 5 minutes to stop and about 30 to add all the perks but its never failed......
