I never used a console command for PC to cheat one of these games before. Till now. You have to carry so much stuff!

So I added 100 lbs to carry weight just to stop making so many runs back to an owned work bench. It was killing the game flow for me.

Don't even suggest just leaving cool stuff behind, way too OCD for that.

Wish i could do that to wear some different armor.

I just waited until I got the top strong back perk. Just load up every bit of junk in a building (after making sure everyone's dead of corse) then fast travel to home base and dump into workbench and containers.

My main cheat was getting more wood as I am surrounded by it yet can't farm it any way. Very annoying. Would be great to assign settlers to wood gathering at Scavenger Stations or something.

i am the same. I have never used a cheat b4 but i added some carry weight xD

"player. modav carryweight" is also the first "cheat" that I used. but honestly I don't consider it a cheat. IMO its already cheating to be able to carry as much as we can without modifying our carry weight.

But since I also like to melee, I modav my action points as well so I can string along some cool combos in vats heh.

With me it was No-Clip to get out of stuck areas and retrieve my stuff that clipped through the floors. Then the ones to auto-complete the Cabot House mission chain when the sister went missing and the chain could not be completed.

Other than that, I use them to get materials for my vanity project on Spectacle Island (I call it Fort Kickass! and, yes, the exclamation point absolutely IS part of the name ). I figure that playing on Normal is close enough to cheating as it is .

Hmm, my character can carry 30000 pounds? You mean yours cant?

I totally decided just to take weight distribution out of the game for me as soon as I started. I knew with crafting I would end up carrying a ton of stuff. And, while it would be cool, I just dont see our protagonist leading a train of pack Brahman.

What helps me is maximizing the strong back perk so I can fast travel when over-encumbered. Then I fast travel to a designated spot at one of my settlements right in front of a trunk and I unload everything.

I had to use console commands twice now. The first time was on a vertibird stuck between two trees "crashing". It had no pilot, all parts destroyed and no health, but still remained in the air spinning around crashing, but never hitting the ground. Had to revive it then kill it and that fixed it.

Other time was a terminal that I clearly had the skill to unlock, but it wouldn't let me. Checked my perks. Said I could. Terminal wouldn't let me, so I just cc unlocked it. Silly terminal.

After 3 hours of playing and after reading that you practically NEED all junk you can find for materials, I just set my carryweight to about 20.000.

I wouldn't have done this if the game had an inventory management system besides the very basic splitting into categories thing. It was just killing my flow. More explaining here: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1576298-junk-collecting/#entry24761506

Occasionally I use 'tcl' when I'm building my settlement cause it's very helpful to design and look at your buildings from different angles, even from a bird's eye view.

I also toggle off the grass with 'tg' when I can't find dead bodies I just killed, together with 'tcl' to fly a bit into the sky in order to search for them from above.

For saving I use 'save InsertNameHere' to know what every save is about.

Wish I had console commands. Alas I've had to resort to duplication glitches, the caps glitch etc and I have to use them fast before Bethesda takes away every console cheat we find.

Just remembered I did also 'cheat' the ballistic weave perk, but I went on tons of Railroad quests for Tom and PAM and that Tinker bloke never said what he's supposed to, so I figured I'd earned it and it wasn't really cheating if the only thing stopping me was a bug.

As to weight, I think it would be cool if you could add a ruck sack to increase your weight capacity. At the very least your character should be wearing one for a bit more realism.

I'm thankful I don't have the PC version because I would have a long list of cheats printed out next to me, using each and every one of them. I just can't resist!

I AM using a console cheat though..the unlimited ammo glitch. Still using it despite the patch because I disconnected my ps4 so I could keep using it. I have no idea when I will be able to re-connect my console. Every time I look at the cost of my 2mm EC ammo, I delay the reconnect.

Actually, I have a separate play through for the Institute and Brotherhood where I have everything on notepad. So I can create 500 stacks of every supply item in the game. Unlimited building material.

But then again I have a play through where I don't really use any cheats at all. It just depends on how I'm feeling when I decide to blow a few hours Fallouting. Someone call Wikipedia, I am making Fallouting a term!

Fallouting - The act of spending a extreme amount of time just playing Fallout 4 uninterrupted.

Just start a Water Farm in Sanctuary and never have to worry about the cost of ANYTHING ever again.

I love fallouting. Planning on doing it again tonight!

Huh? A water farm?

No shame in increasing your carry weight. This game is meant to be played the way you wish. You can role play it for thousands of hours or cut through it in a few days and be done. Fast travel or no? Reload after a mistake or no? People put a variety of limitations on themselves because as was mentioned before some things are very far from realistic to start anyway. As long as it's fun for you and doesn't ruin it then awesome! I ruined Skyrim for myself. Bought it on 360 and played for about 100 hours. Decided I wanted to get back on the PC so got a copy there. 30 or so hours in I increased my carry weight. Then I changed something else. It trivialized the game for me and I lsot interest within a few days where I had been totally ingrossed in the game.

I'll confess my Fallout 4 sins here. I have a ton of mods that are quality of life related. Graphics, weapon drop for better first person visibility, much darker nights, sixy underoos for my Lone Lady. But the only thing I've done that's... cheating.... I installed a particular mod to change the rate of Fusion Cores consumption. And.... I have it set to 0%. I was using power armor 100% of the time and collecting as much of it as I could. I decided that I didn't want to defeat the mechanic and the struggles of finding them, running out and all. No. Instead my goal was to play a character that was always in power armor.

For the last 40 hours or so since I got ballistic weave and decided nothing could kill me I retired power armor and now simply collect and customize it, never use it. So in the end I made the game enjoyable for the specific style I desired and eventually invalidated the cheat. 204 hours as of last night and I'm excited to complete the remainder of the game, start a totally different type of character and await DLC.

I pray that Atom will forgive me for my sins.

The Water Purifiers will drop a quantity of Pure Water worth 10 caps each into your workbench if you have no other water there. The exact timing and quantity seem variable, but the more Purifiers the more Water. Sell that Water for caps. Usually I see it show up every day or so. I have a capacity of 880 at Sanctuary and it produces an excess of around 675 a day. Or around 6750 caps a day. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter, sometimes there will be more water, sometimes less. It's just an average. I also built one of every type of shop at Level 3 and upgraded their caps capacity (it takes a Perk), so I can sell most, if not all, of that water immediately for a combination of caps, ammo, and rare salvage materials.

Clever clown. I'm starting my farm tonight!

I never use carryweight as a difficulty mechanism, I like to loot stuff way too much.
