📋 About This Mod
Recently started replaying Fallout: New Vegas, and was mildly annoyed that using the console disabled achievement unlocking. I put together a simple plugin for NVSE to patch the game to allow it.
This was made for the latest version of the game, 1. 4. 0. 525 (and only this version).
This small utility mod by gibbed ensures that using console commands in the game does not disable Steam achievements. With 6,800 endorsements and over 210,000 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life fix for players who want to experiment with console commands without losing achievement progress. Last updated in 2015, it remains a simple and effective solution for its niche purpose.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 6,800 endorsements and 210k downloads show this mod is a go-to for many.
- Does exactly what it says: no more losing achievements when you cheat or test things.
- Lightweight and unobtrusive – just install and forget.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015 – may not work with current game versions or newer DLC.

For players who like to use console commands for testing, modding, or just having fun but still want to earn achievements legitimately. Also great for achievement hunters who want a safety net. Skip if you never touch the console or don't care about achievements.
💡 Beginner Tips
