Fallout – How to stop quests from auto failing in Fallout4 due to time restriction

fallout-4

There are some time-limited quests in Fallout 4, that aren't communicated to the player all that well.

After quick traveling I was hit by a failed quest, and my last recent save game is too far away from the quest's location (believe me, I tried, multiple times), and the save game before that recent save game is a few game-hours in the past. So currently, I have stopped playing at all and am reconsidering an entirely new play through.

Before doing such a drastic thing: Is there a way to disable the quest time limit? Or to stop the passing of time in-game?

Best Answer

You could try sgtm to stop the passage of time but I don't recommend it. Instead use coc (center on cell) to instantly fast travel to your detestation.

E.g., coc RedRocketExt

To find the name that you need to enter for your intended detestation type help {insert keyword of location here} 4.

E.g., help sunshine 4 yields two entries for exterior cells: SunshineTidingsExt and SunshineTidingsExt2.

You'd then type coc SunshineTidingsExt

For interior cells you may need to use the 'name' or ID that comes after the LCTN (location) headers in the help list.


Not recommended:

SetGlobalTimeMultiplier or sgtm – Sets multiplier on in-game time.

Warning: Can break quite a few things. Safe values are 0 to 25. Above 50 drops framerate and higher crashes the game. –fallout.wikia.com
