God Mode (tgm)
fallout-3 — Console Commands
Makes your character invincible, with unlimited health, action points, and no need to eat or drink. Also prevents your companions from dying.
Syntax
tgm
Example
tgm
💡 Notes
Toggle command; type again to disable. Works in all versions of Fallout 3. [verify] for DLC-specific interactions.
🎯 Tips & Tricks
Toggle for tough fights
Turn on tgm only for difficult boss fights, then turn it off to keep the challenge.
Use with tcl
Combine with tcl (no-clip) to explore unreachable areas without taking fall damage.
Save before toggling
Always save your game before enabling tgm, in case you want to revert to a non-cheat state.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Command not working
Ensure you have opened the console with the tilde key (~) and typed it exactly as 'tgm'.
Companions still dying
Some scripted deaths (e.g., in main quest) ignore tgm; reload and use resurrect command on them.
