I am also having this issue with Mollecular Level. I reset the quest and it vanished from my quest list. I have tried the following: 1: setstage of all types 2: startquest 3: completequest (actually completes it, but doesn't advanced me to the next quest) 4: completequest into reset quest into completequest. Completes the quest both times. Nexus vst zip file. It should reset the quest (first load a savegame where the quest is already activated). Certificate hex to decimal converter excel. Or take a look here Fallout3consolecommands#Quests for some more quest console commands. Jspoelstra 18:02, January 16, 2011 (UTC). Best ide for react. Dissappointed with how they handled Sully Mathis in Fallout 4. Sully Mathis was the dude at Thickets Excavations that is trying to fix some pipes to drain the water, which you can help him with. Once you do that and return at a later time, he'll be a level 30 raider and have a lot of raiders guarding the entire area.
1. Walk up to Preston and talk to him to start turning in the quest. He'll say a random thank-you/grats line or two.
2. Stay in front of Preston for the moment. He will now say something along the lines of 'I have a new mission for you.' Let him say this first line, otherwise the turn-in XP doesn't seem to pop properly in the next step.
3. As Preston is beginning to speak the first few words of the actual mission, walk/run away from him slightly and bring up your Pip-boy the moment you see the XP reward for the quest you just turned in. (If you stay standing there staring at Preston, the Pip-boy seems unresponsive. To be safe, you want to at least stay within earshot for this step or the turn-in XP may not pop.)
4. Fast-travel to somewhere else (Red Rocket Truck Stop will do).
5. Wait a few moments to make sure the new mission didn't register. Bask in the glow of the quest reward XP.
6. Done! :D

I managed to do this for two quests in a row, fast-traveling to Red Rocket Truck Stop both times without the new quest registering. Eat my shorts, Preston!
Update: It appears even if you never hear about the quests, you can fail them, which is stupid and has to be one of the worst game design decisions ever made. I've read elsewhere that failing those quests results in a permanent happiness loss at the related settlement, but I can't confirm this yet (I will at some point because screw Preston and his stupid quests). Every other faction I've come across with repeatable quests asks first you if you want to do them. And of course, it doesn't matter how ridiculously-fortified each settlement is, someone will always get kidnapped or think raiders can get through missile turrets and guards armed to the teeth. Stupid. Seriously, devs.. what were you thinking? I'd shoot Preston between the eyes myself at this point, but he's immortal due to being a companion choice.
Update 2: Regarding the previous update, failing quests you never got in the first place may be glitched to not actually matter. I noticed that quests marked as failed for this reason seemed to reset if I went and talked to Preston out of curiosity. He gave me the failed quests all over again as if they were brand new (same location and everything) and didn't whine at me for having failed anything.
Fallout 4 Quest Id List
Also, if you avoid enough of the initial questline that leads to Preston becoming an active part of the ongoing game (hint: don't turn in the quest after you get the goodies on the roof of the building he's in), it appears that the random quests still do exist. I left Preston and friends where they are originally located with just enough of the quest left to make them stay there indefinitely, but later on discovered that a guard at Sanctuary (which I had populated via a radio beacon) had one of the usual 'omg someone has been kidnapped/whatever' quests. I reloaded a quicksave and avoided her from then on. The game has yet to tell me I've failed any such quests at any of the settlements that character is running, and that character has a lot of time in-game after the initial meeting with Miss Quest Guard Of Doom.
