Debug file or something like it

Post by landomatic »

Years ago (or maybe even currently), a console command could be issued in earlier Elder Scrolls and Fallout games that would create a debug/txt file with all your item & actor IDs, as well as all your quest stages/statuses. I believe the large file would be named FREDFOS.TXT or something similar. Does anyone recall what command/s generated this file? I found it useful for troubleshooting missing actors, items, etc., as there was a time actors or items could get stuck in the middle of the world, or not spawn in correctly. You could check this file for all sorts of info about your save.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
