Fallout 4 Console Commands — tgm, Caps & Item Cheats
Important disclaimer
The console is an official Bethesda tool in the PC version and does not disable achievements in vanilla Fallout 4. Some commands can break quests — save before using them. PS and Xbox have no console access.
Fallout 4's developer console gives PC players full control: god mode, unlimited caps, instant levels, quest skips. It runs on the same engine commands as Skyrim with Fallout-specific item IDs. Everything below is built into the game — no mods needed.

Working with item IDs
Caps are item ID 0000000f. For everything else use 'help "item name" 4' to search in-game, or the Fallout Wiki's complete ID tables. DLC item IDs start with a load-order prefix that varies per install.
- help "fusion core" 4 — search IDs in-game
- Click any object/NPC with the console open to target it
- DLC IDs: replace the first two digits with your load order

FAQ
What is the caps cheat in Fallout 4?
Type 'player.additem 0000000f 1000' to add 1,000 caps. Change the amount as needed.
Does god mode (tgm) have downsides?
Stimpaks and RadAway stop working while tgm is active, and companions may react as if you took damage. Toggle it off with tgm again.
