This guide will teach you how to use specific console commands to allow you to complete all faction quests without engaging with war with the other factions. If you want a legitimate or lore-friendly solution, then you'll have to wait for someone to release a sophisticated mod, or for bethesda to release a DLC.
If you follow the instructions provided you will be the Sentinel of the Brotherhood of Steel, Director of the Institute, and still have access to every Railroad, Brotherhood, and Institute quest. And you will be able to keep Paladin Danse as a follower while being friends with the Brotherhood of Steel and be able to romance him. Father will still be alive, and so will Glory.
This guide will also contain methods for alternative solutions that will exclude one of the story factions to simplify the process, and if you just hate one of them too much but want to keep the other two alive. I will also include links to a method for 'Without Institute' that you can achieve legitimately.
Console Commands and Suggestions are listed at the bottom.
Method; All Factions
Make sure that both Spoils of War and Mass Fusion are unlocked by going through both faction's quests before using commands in the third sequence. Otherwise you'll have started brotherhood quests way before you need to which will cause issues with Proctor Ingram.
Sometimes when manipulating these quests they will break and become static, so just keep reloading a previous save and trying again until by the end of '2' Blind Betrayal is completed and you have two quest objectives in Tactical Thinking. Otherwise Danse will break and you won't be able to do Railroad quests.
As soon as you unlock Underground Undercover STOP and do not advance it.
During The Molecular Level, it does not matter who you choose. If you do it with sturges he will no longer be commandable in your settlement. I have only ever done it with Proctor Ingram or Sturges, so I'm not sure what happens if you do it with Tinker Tom. If you choose to build it with sturges, you can unlock his commands by running 'UnlockSettler" in the Suggestions section.
1. From Within
- 1. After speaking with Elder Maxson about Madison Li;
- setstage BoS203 70
2. Liberty Reprimed, Blind Betrayal, Tactical Thinking:
- 2. After entering Sentinel Site;
- setstage BoS301 180
- setstage BoS301 210
- setstage BoS302 185
- setstage BoS302 255
- set Danse_AffinityCondition_PlayerCompletedQuest to 1
- setstage BoS302B 140
NOTE: The brotherhood will not have PAM, I consider it better that the railroad has her so you can do all of the railroad quests.
Complete Liberty Reprimed
3. Mass Fusion, Spoils of War, Ad Victoriam:
- 3. As soon as you have both Spoils of War and Mass Fusion active;
- setstage InstMassFusion 300
- resetquest InstMassFusion
- setstage BoS303 40
- setstage BoS303 255
- resetquest bos304
- completequest bos304
- setstage BoS305 20
4. Underground Undercover, Precipice of War, Rockets' Red Glare:
- 4. As soon as you unlock Underground Undercover and have talked to Tinker Tom;
- setstage RR201 1100
- setstage RR302 11100
- setstage RR303 11100
- setstage RR303 1300
- completequest MQ302RR
- setstage RRR08 50
5. End of the Line:
- 5. After talking to Father;
- setstage Inst306 200
6. Airship Down:
- 6. After talking to father;
- resetquest Inst307
- completequest Inst307
- setstage Inst308 10
- setstage Inst308 50
- 5c337.setrestrained 0
- setstage A8257 20
Method; No Brotherhood
If you want to keep danse, you'll have to complete Blind Betrayal normally, and spare Danse. Then he won't mind if you destroy the brotherhood.
1. Underground Undercover, Precipice of War, Rockets' Red Glare:
- 1. As soon as you unlock Underground Undercover and have talked to Tinker Tom;
- setstage RR201 1100
- setstage RR302 11100
- setstage RR303 11100
- setstage RR303 1300
- completequest MQ302RR
- setstage RRR08 50
2. End of The Line:
- 2. After speaking to Father;
- setstage Inst306 200
- setstage inst308 10
- setstage Inst308 50
- 5c337.setrestrained 0
- setstage A8257 20
Now you do Airship Down, and this is where you get the choice to finally destroy the brotherhood.
We skip Underground Undercover so Glory never dies.
Method; No Railroad
Make sure that both Spoils of War and Mass Fusion are unlocked by going through both faction's quests before using commands in the third sequence. Otherwise you'll have started brotherhood quests way before you need to which will cause issues with Proctor Ingram.

set CA_Event_Dislikes to 0
'Bat CompanionAffinity_0'
Returns companion affinity to normal values.
