Console commands can be a life safer when dealing with bugs, especially in older games like Fallout New Vegas, or they can increase the fun by breaking all limitations. The console’s easy and quick to use; you just need to know the commands.
How to use console commands in Fallout New Vegas
While the game is unpaused, click on the backquote (`), tilde (~), or apostrophe (‘) key, since keyboards are different around the world. It’s usually the key next to “1” and under “ESC.” The screen will pause, and you’ll be able to type the command and press Enter.
Those not used to using console commands can feel a bit lost since nothing seems to change except the pause screen, but you’ll notice a white vertical bar in the bottom left corner of the screen. Just type and the text will appear.
If you care about achievements, don’t use console commands. Spawning weapons, items, objects, and NPCs will disable achievements. You should be fine if you use a console command to fix a bug such as your character clipping.
