~~Information~~

Fallout4Custom.ini(s) are used to run console commands and change game settings at start up without editing the games default ini(s), or using mods. A Fallout4Custom.ini can be installed, edited or removed at any time without harming your save games.

I am including 3 versions of this file, "Basic", "Full", and "Builders and Mod Authors".


The "Basic" version only contains the [Archive] edits required to use most mods.
Having these edits in a Fallout4Custom.ini will cause no harm even if you already have these edits in your default Fallout4.ini.


The "Full" version contains all of the options needed by most users.  
Edit this version to suit your needs using notepad.

The "Builders and Mod Authors" version contains all options listed below.


------------Fallout4Custom.ini Includes---------------


[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
(These two edits are required for most mods to work in Fallout 4.)

[Gameplay]
fPlayerDisableSprintingLoadingCellDistance=0
Fixes an old bug that prevented the player from being able to sprint after fast traveling or when moving into some cells.
This is an older tweak that is not needed if your game is up to date, but since having this active causes no harm I am leaving this in the options.

[General]
sStartingConsoleCommand(Equals =)
Update 16/10/2022 Nexus is now removing this entry (event-stripped) from this page but it is visible in the screenshot above.

cl off;
Default is cl rim 0.02
Disables character lighting. (Light/glowing effect around NPCs faces at night.)
More info can be found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3771/

setfog 1 999999; (Builders and Mod Authors version only)
Pushes all default fog (interior, exterior and weather related) out of view of the player. This entry affects the entire game and most mods.
*Players who want to remove interior fog, mist, steam, dust and airborne debris should use Fog Remover II
, for clear weather use Simply Better Weather.

TCAI; (Builders and Mod Authors version only)
Toggle Combat AI, Turns enemies on/off. Combat AI will be off when you start the game, enter "tcai" in the console to turn it on.
This is useful for Mod Authors and Settlement Builders who want to be able to start the game without worrying about AI attacking upon startup.

TGM; (Builders and Mod Authors version only)
Toggle God Mode. God Mode will be on when you start the game, enter "tgm" in the console to turn it off.
This is useful for Mod Authors and Settlement Builders because it allows you to build anything without needing to collect/spawn materials.
This also prevents your character from taking damage of any kind, running out of Action Points est.

Attention "Scrap Everything" Mod Users:

This information may apply to any mod that is adds it's own .ini files directly into your Fallout4/Data folder.

Scrap Everything (optionally) installs it's own Scrap Everything - (name).ini files into your Fallout4\Data folder. These files will override your Fallout4Custom.ini.
In order to use Scrap Everything's .ini (optional) and a Fallout4Custom.ini simply copy the data from the Scrap Everything.ini into your Fallout4.ini(s) then remove the Scrap Everything.ini from your Data folder.

*Adding  bUseCombinedObjects=0  to my Fallout4Custom.ini does not work me, I must add it to my Fallout4.ini.
I do not recommend using this setting without understanding how it effects the game. This setting is disabling the Precombine system for the entire game in order to allow you to scrap more objects. This will reduce both interior and exterior performance and FPS.
For more information about Previs/Precombines see: Fallout 4 Optimization and Performance Systems Explained




Use with my Simply Better Weather, Fog Remover - Performance Enhancer II, Flicker Fixer and Puddle Remover Plus mods.
Highly Recommended Additions:
Cheat Terminal & All-In-One Settlement Solution
