Do cheats disable achievements in Fallout 3?
On Steam, yes, but only until you restart. The Fallout Wiki says that opening the console in the Steam version disables all Steam achievements until the game is restarted, even if you type nothing. Save, quit and relaunch before you play on for achievements. The sources do not say how other store versions behave. Fallout Wiki (Fandom): Gamebryo console commands
Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.
- Steam version The Fallout Wiki says that opening the console in the Steam version turns off all Steam achievements until you restart the game, even if you never enter a command. Fallout Wiki (Fandom): Gamebryo console commands
- Non-US keyboards and controllers The Fallout Wiki says the console key is the one under Escape: ¬ on UK keyboards, ^ on German, ² on French, § or ½ on Scandinavian layouts. It also says the key may not respond while an Xbox 360 controller is connected, so turn the controller off first. Fallout Wiki (Fandom): Gamebryo console commands
- Before leaving Vault 101 The Fallout Wiki warns that stat changes made before you leave Vault 101 can't be corrected later, because the exit sets your SPECIAL points and tag skills. It also says changing race with showracemenu disables your perks, so you have to remove and add them again. Fallout Wiki (Fandom): Gamebryo console commands
- Map marker statistic The Fallout Wiki says tmm 1 makes every marker visible and fast-travel ready, but it does not update the locations discovered count in the Pip-Boy. Fallout Wiki (Fandom): Gamebryo console commands
