Cheating the Rings
A guide to quickly getting access to the Glowing Rings for those not interested in the immersive aspect of this mod.
My apologies in advance, but I cannot get spoilers to work in "Articles" for some reason. I'll keep trying different BBCode options, but for now, please read the "Yes, Even Cheaters Get Options" section at a minimum, followed by the Cheater's Guild section that applies to you. The other sections are there for those that need or are just interested in the information.
Just Own It
Yes, you're a cheater! But don't sweat it, because most of us are game cheaters at different times (I mean, why else would that console thingy be there, right?). I don't mean to suggest in any way that you lie and cheat in the real world (cough, cough), but who has real-life free time these days to do things the right way in a fictional game that takes a butt-ton of hours to complete? I mean, sheesh, some days you just need to hit that tilde key...
Blah, Blah, Blah...
Please note that EVERYTHING on this page will break the immersive aspect of this mod to some degree. Use at your own discretion. Additionally, if you choose not to use my mod as originally intended (i.e., you pretty much follow any instructions in this article or simply start doing your own thang using the console), then I will not spend my precious time answering any issues you come across, nor will I take any responsibility for a broken save or a broken game. CHEAT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Yes, Even Cheaters Get Options...
Because I'm such a nice guy, I've split everyone reading this article into two Cheater's Guilds: (1) those who can't figure out where to start and just want to get started by acquiring the initial items and instructions that are needed, and (2) those who just want it all, and you want it now (entitled much?). For the first group, please expand the Getting Started Only spoiler tag. For the second group, ignore the first spoiler and go right to the Give It All To Me Now spoiler tag.
"Getting Started Only" Cheaters Guild
At this point, I'm assuming you want to experience the immersive aspect of this mod as well as the obvious item benefits, but just need a little help getting started. In that regard...
Go to Hubris Comics in the downtown Boston area, fight the ghouls up to the top level, and locate a brand new safe behind the Silver Shroud stage backdrop. Unlock the safe, grab the two items, read the holotape, equip the ring, and have fun creating the new Glowing Rings!
"Give It All To Me Now" Cheaters Guild
If you don't have much experience using the developer console and/or you don't know how to obtain the Ref ID Prefix needed, please review the articles below. If you're in the mood to just "wing it", and assuming my head wasn't up my gluteus maximus when I typed this, then you can try just following the steps after the article list and see what happens! However, there is some valuable information in the articles below. If you do skip them now, consider coming back to them later and possibly learning something new!
At this point, I'm assuming you don't give a rat's gluteus maximus about the immersive aspect of this mod, so you'll need to use the console as follows, replacing "xx" with your Ref ID Prefix (read the Ref ID Prefix article above if you don't know what I'm talking about):
If you just want some Glowing Rings to start playing with, do the following:
By the way, if you don't have the right Perks, SPECIAL Stat levels, or Ingredients needed for crafting or modifying the Glowing Rings, you'll have to figure out the console commands on your own to cheat all that stuff into your game. Sheesh, I'm not going to breast feed you forever... :)
