Console Commands

tgm
Good ol' God Mode means you're completely invulnerable to everything, and pretty
damn god-like. And no one needs to write a book about you or anything.
tcl
No clipping lets you go literally anywhere in the game world, from the top of th
e sky to the bottom of the, er, sky. Fascinating if you want to witness the game
world.
unlock
Can't find that vital key? Lockpicking skill too low? Simply highlight the door
or chest you want to unlock, and type "unlock" into the console. If only this wo
rked in real life.
psb
Every single spell in Skyrim is now yours!
player.advlevel
Automatically level up - perfect if you hate playing games.
caqs
Automatically complete all the stages of your primary quest - perfect if you hat
e playing games.
showracemenu
Unhappy with your blind, inbred-looking Bosmer chap? You can adjust the way your
character looks just like you did at the start of Skyrim - but this will reset
your level and skills.
player.modav skill X
Where "skill" is the skill you want to modify, and X is the amount you want to m
odify it by. Skills are inputted via their in-game names without spaces, apart f
rom Archery which is "Marksman", and Speech, which is known as "Speechcraft".
player.additem ITEM ###
Every single item in Skyrim has a code, a bit like an Argos catalogue of fantasy
objects. You'll find them in our list of Skyrim item codes (link pending) - rep
lace "ITEM" with the item's code, and "###" with the number of items you want. N
ow your dreams of owning 47 cabbage potato soups can come true. You can find the
codes in our Skyrim item codes post.
player.additem 0000000f ###
A simple way to get some free gold - any number between 001 and 999 will do.
player.additem 0000000a ###
Running low on lockpicks? Enter the number you require here and they'll magicall
y appear.
addshout
Combine with the codes on this Wikia page to add your selected shout.
tm
Toggles all in-game menus - perfect if you want to take some screenshots to conv
ince elderly relatives that Skyrim is where you went on your holidays. Note that
this also turns off the Console commands menu, meaning you'll have to type it a
gain invisibly to be able to see what you're doing.
tmm
Followed by 0 or 1 turns map markers on or off.
tfc
Not Team Fortress Classic, unfortunately. However, you will be able to access th
e flycam and pretend to be a dragon. This is how everyone gets all those amazing
Skyrim shots you've seen.
tai
Toggles AI, which means people won't interact with you, or do anything at all.
tcai
Turns combat AI on or off, turning dragons into placid beasts who act like you a
ren't there. A bit like cats.
tdetect
This one lets you behave like a little rapscallion, as it turns naughty business
detection (stealing, murdering, doing a poo in the woods etc) on or off. You'll
still get caught if you try pickpocketing, though.
player.setcrimegold ###
Adjust your wanted level with this handy command - setting it to zero resets you
r current amount of wantedness.
player.setlevel ##
Up or down your player level as you see fit. Perfect if you hate playing games.

Want to run like Uwe Boll after a night on the vindaloo? Set this number to anyt
hing more than 100 to speed up movement.
movetoqt
Go straight to your quest target.
kill
Target the thing you want to kill, type this command and they'll fall over in a
very dead manner. We wish the command was "Laputan Machine", though.
killall
Kills everything in the vicinity. Literally everything.
help
Lists every single console command. We've put this further down the list because
we want you to actually read this article.
resurrect
Target the thing you want to bring back to life, and they'll get up in a very al
ive manner. You can also use this on live people to respawn them, which can fix
awkward problems like Lydia taking off all her clothes for no reason.

Up your health here.
coc qasmoke
Bethesda's handily included a room with every single in-game item in it - type t
his command to go straight there. It might take a while to load - there are thou
sands of items here. Type "coc Riverwood" to return to the game.
qqq
Quit the game without having to go through any of those pesky menus.
removeallitems
Target a character and type this and you'll get all their items - including thei

This defaults at 16 - 1 is realtime. Up it to experience crazy timelapse-style S
kyrim.
There are undoubtedly more codes to come. Skyrim may be built on Bethesda's new
Creation engine, but these commands are very similar to Fallout 3 and Oblivion's
. Let us know what you've found in the comments.
