Fallout 4’s console is a powerful tool for debugging broken quests, testing builds, and — yes — cheating. Open the console with the tilde (~) key. Here’s the complete working list as of patch 1.10.984.
Heads-up: using commands disables achievements for the current save. To keep achievements, install the “Achievements Enabler” mod.

Safety tips
Save before typing any command. Some commands can’t be undone, and typos in item IDs can corrupt your save. If things go wrong, the console command coc SanctuaryExt01 teleports you to Sanctuary and usually unsticks the game.
