Remove perk point?

[WilliamC1514]

There's not a single standard perk I'm interested in; if there were no mod I'd pick something but it would be like wasting time to continue playing this character. I found a mod I like https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/8802/ but it has an issue, adding a perk through it doesn't use a perk point; so after I get enough XP for a new level I gain a perk point, I use the mod to gain a perk, and still have the recently gained perk point. I found a technique https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/2282708683268597260/ which is not simple but not too complicated, I guess I could make a batch file to do it. However do you know of a way to get rid of 1, or all, perk points?

Thank you kindly for your help

try this i haven't used special options myself but you can add or remove points with this.

I looked around for 10 mins and couldn't find a way to remove a perk point, only to add them. That mod could do some cool stuff, I might enable it at a later date (unless there was actually a way to remove a perk point with it).

Search "respec" on nexus.

you can add perkpoints via cgf interface and it takes integer as argument, it wasn't unsigned integer if recall correctly,

so it means you can use negative values probably. I'm on mobile so can't check now but you can..

try that;
cgf "Game.AddPerkPoints" -1

I did and didn't get any error (I assume that means I typed it correctly). However both I still saw the level up and a perk point beside and when I got to the perk chart I could increase a perk rank.

U can add and remove perks from the console, it's what i do.

At the end of the OP, from the 2nd URL it referred to that.

"Cheat terminal" mod is also able to do that on the fly as well as a fair amount of other things.

ah yeah it doesn't accept negative values, there must be a condition inside, like this;

Function RemovePlayerCaps(int nCaps) global
	if ( nCaps > 0 )
		GetPlayer().RemoveItem(GetCaps(),nCaps)
	endif
endFunction

so that's why.. it can be patched by modding the script but it can also be patched in memory on the fly, with a software like cheatengine, but you should know how. (you will search given values to pinpoint exact memory location then reset it)

shortest way for you, is to use perkpoints on an empty perk and do removeperk on it to reset it back to its original state.

Been awhile since I messed with fallout, but I don't think there is a console command to remove all perks, but here's a list of all console commands.
Perk ID's list can also be found here as well as others.

All you need to do is go into "Special and perks/perks" remove the perk. Then go into "Game alterations/levels and perk points and assign one point to yourself.
