Traits and Backgrounds Console IDs¶

In Starfield, you’re forced to choose some traits and backgrounds during character creation. These often come with benefits and consequences, and you may not want to keep them for the duration of your playthrough. Thankfully, there’s a console command which can be used to remove specific perks, which we’ve listed below.

How to Remove Traits and Backgrounds in Starfield¶

To remove any perk associated with your character, use the following command:

player.removeperk [perk id]

All you need to do is replace the [perk id] with a specific ID. For example, if you want to remove the Hero Worshipped trait, you’d enter the following in the console:

player.removeperk 00227FD9
