Fallout 4 Console Commands: God Mode, Unlimited Carry Weight

There’s no doubt that Fallout 4 is massive. I’ve already accrued around 70 hours or so in the game since getting it, and I’ve still got a ton of things left to track down and do. That still doesn’t change the fact that sometimes you’re going to run into some obstacles you can’t get past, or maybe you hit a game breaking bug that corrupts your save file. No matter the reasoning, Bethesda games often allow players to make use of some developer commands using the games built in Console Command line. This guide will teach you how to activate the console, as well as a few commands to help you get started on your trek through the Commonwealth.

Remember that these are cheats, so do with them what you will. Using console commands won’t disable your achievements, however, it can ruin the game for you. To get the most out of Fallout 4 we suggest you play through at least once without any cheats, and then if you want to use these commands later on you won’t have to worry about having spoiled the game for yourself. It should also be noted that these commands only work on the PC version of Fallout 4, as you cannot activate the command console on Xbox One or PlayStation 4.

Enable the Console

Most copies of the game already have the command console enabled, so all you’ll need to do is launch into the game and let it load up. Once you’re spawned in, go ahead and hit the Tilde key (it looks like this ~) on your keyboard. This will bring up a small area that you can type in on the bottom of the screen.

From here you can type several different commands.
