The quest stage details below are listed in case you get stuck on a quest and want to use a console command to advance it. 

For all repeatable quests and the Reformed Institute side quests, if you have an issue or simply don't feel like doing the quest anymore and want to reset it, you can ask the quest provider (person or terminal) to stop the quest, and you won't need a console command.

If you decide to use a console command, the "xx" below in the quest ID's should be replaced by the order of the mod in your load order (e.g. replace xx with 34 if the mod is 34th in your load order).  To find the full quest ID, use console command: help <editor id of quest you want to find> 4.

To advance a quest stage, use console command: setstage questid stage#, e.g. setstage 01234567 20.

Advancing a quest with a console command is a last resort if nothing else works. Watching one of the play-through videos below to find a hint should be attempted before using console commands.

If you're stuck on a quest not listed below, check the Outcasts and Remnants quest details page or the Fusion City Rising quest details page.
