How to use Skyrim console commands

To use Skyrim console commands, you’ll need to open the developer console screen. This is easily done by tapping the tilde (~) key, which can be found under the Esc key, and just to the left of the 1 key on an American English keyboard. If you’re using a British English keyboard, you’ll need to tap the grave (`) key, which is located in the same place.
When typing in console commands, remember that commands are not case-sensitive, so don’t worry about caps lock. You’ll find that many commands will have a section that says something like <#>. In these cases, do not type the <> brackets, nor the #. Instead, type out the name of the item you want, and follow up by replacing the # with the number of items you require.
For example: ‘player .addItem <#>‘ is the command to add new items to your inventory. If you wanted to add 100 gold to your inventory, you’d type in player .additem 00000f 100. Some commands require an item to be targeted. To do this, open the console, and then click on the object. The name of the targeted object will then appear in the middle of the screen.
If you’re looking for a more substantial change than Skyrim console commands can provide, we have some excellent games like Skyrim for total open-world immersion.
