Fallout 4 Console Commands and Cheats
Fallout 4 is equipped with a powerful console that allows users to modify their character, and the game, during gameplay. The console allows users to cheat, but also gives people the chance to work around glitches in the game, and experiment with parts of Fallout 4 they otherwise would not have access to.

Fallout 4 Character Cheats and Console Commands
These are commands that modify your Fallout 4 character's SPECIAL stats, derived stats, perks, and skills.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
SPECIAL abilities are the primary statistic in Fallout 4. SPECIAL points increase your character's general attributes, and are used to calculate game events like hit chance, and persuasion chance. Modifying the SPECIAL attributes of your character will unlock new perks in Fallout 4.

- Strength - Carry weight, melee and unarmed
- Perception - Awareness, VATS accuracy, lockpicking
- Endurance - Hit points, resistance
- Charisma - Persuasion, companions, money

Skills
I am unsure how this works in Fallout 4, so this section comes later... May include things like repair skill.
Derived Stats
Normally things like carry weight, fire resistance, and critical chance in Fallout 4 are calculated based on your player stats. These can also be modified individually for fine tuning of your character.
