Skyrim is the fifth game in Bethesda's critically acclaimed Elder Scrolls series, but you don't need to play the first four games to enjoy it. It's available for just about every platform, from PC to Nintendo Switch, which makes it a great place to jump into the series.
Since the game throws you right into the heart of the action, you'll need all the skills you can muster if you ever want to shout dragons out of the sky or avoid getting stomped on by a giant.
If you want to give yourself a little edge, we've assembled all the best cheat codes, exploits, and tips you'll need to survive your time in Skyrim.
Skyrim Console Command Cheat Codes For PC
Skyrim has a ton of cheat codes that you can use if you're playing on PC. These codes are entered by opening the console window and then typing the code that you want to activate. Most of these code work together, so you can activate more than one at a time.
To activate a Skyrim cheat code:
![Wool ball doom](https://assets.rockpapershotgun.com/images/2019/03/Doom1.jpg/RPSS/resize/288x-1/format/jpg/quality/70)
- Press ~ to open up the console window.
- Type the cheat code, and press enter.
- Repeat step 2 if you wish to enter more codes.
- Press ~ to close the console window.
Important: Backup your save game data before using cheat codes. While you can turn most of these codes off, and undo the changes you make, there is always a chance that using cheat codes will corrupt your game and cause undesired effects.
Skyrim Cheats and Exploits for PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch
![Commands Commands](/uploads/1/2/3/7/123704197/460931023.png)
Skyrim is available on a ton of different video game systems, but cheat codes only work on the PC version. The problem is that you can only open the console window in the PC version, so there is absolutely no way to type cheat codes into any other version of Skyrim.
There are a number of cheats and exploits that work in the PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo version of the Skyrim, but they aren't intended, and Bethesda may patch them at any time.
After having so many years to potter around Tamriel, you may be looking for some Skyrim cheats to spice up your adventuring, or just to visit that area of the map you were never able to get to through legitimate means. Fancy turning yourself into a giant towering over Skyrim? Or learning every spell, perk, and skill with a few simple commands? Well if you're a PC player then you're in luck, as we've got all the Skyrim console codes you could need to become the ultimate Dragonborn and keep you occupied until Elder Scrolls 6 arrives. Sadly for console players, there are no Skyrim cheats available to you, but if you visit these Skyrim hidden chest locations then you can at least stock up on some decent loot to help you on your way.
How to use Skyrim console commands
As with many other PC games, entering Skyrim console commands is simply a case of pressing the tilde (~) key to open up the developer console, then typing in the command code in the correct format. You can enter multiple codes to stack up various different effects, then hit tilde once again to return to the game and reap the ill-gotten rewards you've given yourself. Unless otherwise stated, entering the same code a second time should turn it off again.
This may sound obvious, but it's worth reinforcing that using some of these codes (especially in combination with others) can cause glitches, mess up ongoing storylines, or crash your game entirely, so make sure you create a back up save and keep it separate before you start playing around - otherwise you may find you've permanently broken your progress, and nobody wants to deal with that in a game the size of Skyrim. Also, achievements will be disabled as soon as you start entering these codes, so unfortunately you won't be able to cheat your way to completing any challenges.

Has anyone heard of the Karinda player.placeatme command? I stumbled upon it one day and its probably the best console command ever.
She is sort of a glitch in the game, its a horse that was made for a side quest in whiterun that they ended up not using so it was never completed but her code still exists in the game.
She is 100% immortal (unlike shadowmere who CAN die) so you can jump off the freaking throat of the world while riding her and ride away unscathed. But thats not even the best part! Since she was never completed she never slows! So you can sprint on her with unlimited stamina. She is a bareback black horse and unlike most horses she has a name. The only drawback is that she will not help you in battle. Enemies will attack her and she doesn't fight back (why would she? she's immortal).
Does/did anyone else know about her?

Despite how long it's been out, Skyrim still enjoys a dedicated audience thanks to a thriving modding scene, as well as Bethesda's fair hand for designing an eminently replayable game. At this point though, it's safe to say that you've probably played a fair chunk of the game legitimately, and might fancy spicing up your next playthrough with a few overpowered abilities, or at least removing some of the duller elements altogether.
For this reason, we've compiled a round-up of some of the most useful console commands you can use for the PC version of the game. To get started with any of these cheats, all you have to do is hit the tilde key (which looks like this ~), then enter your cheat of choice. Leave the console window using the tilde button once more, and you'll see the change reflected in the game immediately.
Player console commands
Here are some of our favourite commands for granting your character godlike status, and unlimited funds - to name just a couple:
addshout - Type the name of your desired Dragon Shout after this command to add it to your repertoire immediately.
AdvSkill [SKILL ID] # - If you want to level up a particular skill, simply enter this command. SKILL ID is simply the name of the skill in question. After that, just add the number you wish to level it up by.
player.advlevel - Keep entering this command repeatedly to advance your character one level each time, without having to do anything resembling actual effort.
player.modav carryweight # - Enter this command to increase the amount of random crap you're able to stuff into your backpack.
player.setav speedmult ### - The higher the number you use here, the faster your character will move throughout the world. Warning: max level is really, really fast..
player.setcrimegold ### - Use this command to change your wanted level. At 000 you're clean as a whistle, while at 999 it's time to start legging it.
player.setlevel ## - Change the number to whatever level you'd like your decidedly unheroic hero to be.
psb - If you want to unlock every single spell in the game, just tap this command in.
sexchange - This command will change the sex of your hero or heroine.
showracemenu - Starting to regret some of the decisions you made during the character creation phase of the game? Use this command to revisit your starting choices.
tgm - Activates god mode, making you completely invincible.
tcl - Turns off clipping, allowing you to walk anywhere, in any direction, through any thing.
tim - In immortal mode, you can still take damage but you can't actually be killed.
rm - Use to activate and deactivate run mode.
unlock - Make sure you've highlighted the chest, or door, or case that you want to unlock, then enter this simple command to open it.
World and environment console commands
There are several commands that will help you muck about with the world itself. Here are some of the most useful:
fov - Instead of messing around with. ini files, you can use this console command to set your field of view on the fly.
tai - If you enter this command, every AI character in the game will stop in their tracks. Run it again to get everyone back to business.
tcai - If, on the other hand, you simply want to take the sting out of a fight, use this code to render every inhabitant of the game completely placid.
tfc - Want to take to the skies and have a proper aerial view of Skyrim? Enter this code.
tfow - Removes all fog of war elements from your local map.
tm - Enter this into the console window to disable every menu element, making it easy to capture pristine screenshots. Note that this also disables the console itself, so you'll have to re-enter the code blind in order to reactivate the UI.
tmm - By adding 0 or 1 to the end of this command you'll be able to activate and deactivate every map marker in the game.
tg - Toggles grass on and off when entered.
tt - As above, but for trees.
tws - Disables the appearance of water.
Item console commands
Each item in Skyrim has a special code associated with it and you can find a comprehensive round-up of them at uesp.net. Enter the following command in - along with the appropriate Item ID - to get your hands on the goodies without any effort whatsoever.
player.additem ITEM NAME ###
Note that the number should be entered in three-digit format, so 015 for fifteen of the item in question, 009 for nine and so on.
:: Best gaming keyboards 2019: Digital Foundry's picks
To get you started, here are some very common items you're likely to want to add to your stash.
player.additem 0000000f ### - This will allow you to add whatever chunk of change you want to your wallet.
player.additem 0000000a ### - You can never have too many lockpicks, so why not add a load to your backpack nice and quickly?
coc qasmoke - For the man or woman who doesn't have everything, use this command to access a special room housing all of Skyrim's items.
removeallitems - Want someone's stuff and can't even be bothered to ask for it? Enter this code to have them stripped bare, and then send everything they own to your backpack. Thanks!

Quest console commands
You'll need to enter the quest ID for some of these commands. You can find all of these identifiers over at uesp.net
caqs - This will wrap up every single stage of the main quest. Warning: this can be a little buggy and has the potential to make a real mess of your save.
completequest QUEST ID - Finishes off the specified quest altogether. Hooray for no effort!
kill - Simply highlight your victim and then tap this command in to have them crash to the floor.
killall - When you need everyone around you to die fast, enter this genocidal console command to get the job done.
movetoqt - Picked up a quest and can't be bothered to walk to your victim? Simply tap this command in to head to them instantly.
player.sqs QUEST ID - Displays all of the stages of a given quest.
resurrect - If you're feeling no small amount of remorse for your senseless killing, target the corpse and then enter this command to bring them back to life.
setstage QUEST ID # - Advances a quest to a particular stage. Use this if you've bugged out somewhere and need a quick fix.
