Enhanced console

Forget about those editor IDs.

Fallout 4's developer console is very powerful, assuming you know the exact name of everything you want to type. Otherwise, enjoy keeping the wiki open and entering the strings manually,

Like some kind of unpaid database administrator.

The enhanced console adds command and parameter autocompletion, helpful parameter prompts, live value previews, and correct persistent command history.

It also fixes a particularly useful behavior issue in Fallout 4: the game dropped most editor IDs when loading. The plugin will read this data from each loaded ESM, ESP and ESL and then let the host reuse it. This means something like this

The command can actually work.

These ideas came from my FNV mod of a similar nature.

Command auto-completion: Complete console and script commands, including their short aliases.

Parameter prompt: Displays the expected parameters of the current command, including which parameters are optional.

Situation Awareness Suggestion: It provides appropriate forms for the commands you enter, rather than piling the entire game into one giant list.

Editor ID recovery: It collects the editor ID from your complete load order and puts it back where the console can parse it.

Mod support: Read loaded ESM, ESP and ESL files, including compressed records, and correctly handle normal and light plugin FormIDs.

Secure FormID backup: If the edit ID is missing, ambiguous, or cannot be parsed safely, it is recommended to still display its name but insert the correct runtime FormID.

Live Value: Displays the current game settings value and actor value just above the input line.

Match List: Shows available matches, selected entries and your position in the list.

Better matches: prefixes take precedence, but partial matches are also possible. You don't need to remember the beginning of each edit ID.

Continuous History: Upward and downward instructions for recalling this session and previous sessions.

Reverse history search: Like terminals built after 1997, press

and search for old commands.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
