As well as using Skyrim cheats to tailor your Tamriel experience, Skyrim console commands can also change up your experience, from spawning items to leveling up skills. We’ve had plenty of time to get lost in the adventures of the Dragonborn over the past decade, and while it takes some doing to discover everything Skyrim has to offer over the last decade. The Skyrim cheats are a great way to breathe new life into the game as well.
There are no Skyrim cheats available for Switch, Xbox, or PlayStation unless you’re using the Skyrim Anniversary Edition. The Skyrim cheats can only be used on PC console commands, no matter what version of the game you’re playing. We have compiled a list of the best Skyrim mods if you’re looking to shake things up on another platform. Here are all of the best Skyrim cheats and console commands, along with instructions on how to use them.
Skyrim Console Commands: How To Use Them
A Skyrim console command can be entered by pressing the tilde (~). The developer console will open, where you can type in the commands we’ve listed below. Once you’re done, hit Tilde again to close the console and return to the game. If this code is entered a second time, it will turn off again, unless otherwise stated.
There are multiple codes you can enter at once and stack up different effects, but be careful not to damage something – using some of these codes (especially in combination) can cause glitches, mess up ongoing storylines or saves, or crash your game. If you don’t, you might permanently break your progress. Nobody wants to deal with that in a game like Skyrim and you may lose your progress permanently. As soon as you enter these codes, achievements will also be disabled, so you won’t be able to cheat your way to completing challenges.
