Skyrim Console Commands

Toggle god mode: infinite health, magicka and stamina, unlimited carry weight, and no damage

Type again to turn off.

Toggle immortal mode: you still take damage and lose health/magicka/stamina but cannot die (health never hits zero)

Useful if you want combat to feel real but cannot be killed.

Set or increase carry weight so you are never over-encumbered

Use a small number; pushing it extremely high can wrap to a negative carry weight. player.setav carryweight <#> sets an absolute value.

Toggle collision / no-clip: walk and fly through walls, floors, doors and the terrain

Toggle off while standing on solid ground or you may fall through the map. Does not work while an object is selected.

Teleport to a named cell (interior/location) by its editor cell ID

Example: coc whiterun, coc riverwood. coc qasmoke opens the developer test room with every item. Use only from inside the game world to avoid breaking the intro.

Teleport across the worldspace to map coordinates

Coordinates are in grid cells, not game units.

Move the player to a referenced NPC

moveto player (typed after selecting an NPC) brings that NPC to you instead.

Free-flying camera for screenshots; tfc 1 also pauses the game

Combine with tm (toggle menus) for a clean shot.

Set field of view

Default is 75; common values 90-110. Very high values distort the view.

Set free/console camera movement speed

sucsm 1 is normal; higher = faster free-camera flight.

Toggle map markers all on/off

tmm 1 reveals all markers; tmm 0 hides them. tmm 1 1 0 adds markers without making them all usable for fast travel.

Resize the selected object or the player

1 is normal size; select a target first, or use player.setscale <#> for yourself.

Toggle HUD/menus, grass, trees, water and sky for clean screenshots

tm = menus/HUD, tg = grass, tt = trees, tws = water display.

Change the in-game time speed (timescale)

Default is 20; set timescale to 1 makes one in-game minute equal one real minute.

Force the weather to a given weather ID

fw <WeatherID> forces the weather instantly; sw transitions to it.

Instantly kill the selected target

Select an NPC first. Has no effect on essential NPCs.

Kill every non-essential NPC in the loaded area

Can break quests if it kills quest-relevant characters.

Resurrect the selected dead NPC

resurrect (or resurrect 0) revives with full inventory reset; resurrect 1 revives keeping current inventory/position.

Toggle a target's AI on/off (freeze the NPC in place)

tai with no target toggles AI for all actors.

Toggle combat AI so NPCs stop fighting

Selected target only, or all if none selected.

Toggle AI detection so NPCs cannot detect/see you (free stealth)

Pickpocketing still always succeeds while this is on but the pickpocket UI may misbehave.

Remove all items from the selected NPC's inventory

Select the NPC/container first.

Spawn an item, NPC, or creature next to you

Example: player.placeatme 0001A66B 1 spawns a dragon. Overuse bloats and can corrupt the save.

Change the sex of the selected NPC or the player

player.sexchange affects you.

Open the full race/appearance editor to redo your character

Changing race here can reset some stats; save first.

Unlock the selected door, chest, or container

Select the lock first. Works on quest-locked doors too.

Lock the selected door/container at a chosen difficulty

0-25 novice, up to 100 = requires key / unpickable.

Make a selected owned item free to take (removes stealing flag)

Select the item first.

Add gold to your inventory

0000000F is gold. Example: player.additem 0000000F 99999.

Add any item by its hexadecimal item ID

Find IDs with the help command (e.g. help "daedric sword" 4) or from skyrimcommands.com / UESP. DLC IDs start with the DLC's load-order byte.

Remove a specified item from your inventory

Mirror of player.additem.

List your inventory with the item RefIDs

Useful for finding the ID of an equipped item.

Search the game data for an item/spell/NPC name to get its ID

The 4 filters to forms; quotes are needed for multi-word names.

Set your character level

Does not grant the perk points you would have earned leveling up; can desync enemy scaling.

Advance a skill as if leveled naturally (grants progress toward perks)

Skill names: onehanded, twohanded, marksman (Archery), block, smithing, heavyarmor, lightarmor, pickpocket, lockpicking, sneak, alchemy, speechcraft (Speech), alteration, conjuration, destruction, illusion, restoration, enchanting. Example: player.advskill destruction 9999.

Set a skill or attribute (actor value) to an exact number

Example: player.setav smithing 100. setav does not grant perk progress and can be set above 100.

Modify (add to / subtract from) an actor value

Example: player.modav carryweight 500.

Add a specific perk by its perk ID

There is no direct add-perk-point command. Add multi-rank perks in rank order. Perk IDs are listed on UESP/Fandom.

Perk-point workaround: over-level a skill to bank perk points, then reset it

After leveling, spend the perks, then player.setav smithing <original level> and UpdateLevel. Risky: can stick your level at 100; save first.

Add dragon souls (to unlock shout words)

Spend them in the shout menu.

Add every spell, shout and power in the game to the player

"Player Spell Book." Adds a huge number of entries to your magic menu.

Add a specific shout to your shout list

Use player.teachword <WordID> / player.unlockword <WordID> to learn individual words of power.

Restore/refill the player (used after some edits)

Set health/magicka/stamina to a chosen value if regen breaks.

Force a quest to a specific stage

The most dangerous command for save integrity; skipping stages can permanently break a quest. Find IDs with the journal/help.

Instantly complete the selected/closest quest

May leave loose ends; can break follow-on quests.

Set or clear your bounty with a faction (crime gold)

0 clears your bounty. Hold faction IDs: e.g. Whiterun 000267EA, Falkreath 00028170 (0002816D is Hjaalmarch/Morthal). Example: player.setcrimegold 0 00028170. Verify per hold. Some players report that 0 does not clear a bounty earned in normal play; if so, pay the fine instead.

Pay off / clear all bounties via paycrimegold

Arguments toggle whether stolen goods are removed and whether you are jailed.

Quit the game instantly to desktop

Does not save first.
