pre combines

[wildtangent]

I know that having scrap everything, or spring cleaning can potentially break your game, or at least cause fps issues. My question is can you use the console to get rid of an object (the door in your garage, or the jungle gym in Sanctuary) would this break pre combines? Also what is, or are the commands I would use if this won't break anything?

Honestly, I don't want anyone to completely break their game so I'm gonna just strike through all of this post, but I'm leaving it up here for posterity.

Found an interesting post about this but I haven't tried it.

Edit2: I probably should read threads more carefully.  There's another post that indicates that perhaps what I detailed below might be a bad idea:

Orange text = do this at your own risk, Green text = do this first if you are gonna try the orange text

 

I believe that what they are saying is

press ` to open command console

target an object with mouse (use scroll wheel if you don't get it on the first click)

Once you get the object you desire to show up as text on the screen

type disable and hit enter

type markfordelete and hit enter

 

potentially it doesn't break the precombine, based on the information in that link

Edit: but this method doesn't work for things that are actually part of the precombine, so it might not be what you are looking for.

 

As a safety, if I was going to try that, I would make a save first, then copy that save to a different folder, and then try it, if it breaks things terribly then type qqq and hit enter from the console, this will exit the game without creating an exit save, and then if the game / landscape is borked you can copy your backed up save which *should* be able to be loaded normally.

 

 

Perhaps someone else has better / more info than that, I'm still learning about precombines myself.
