Talk:Console Commands (Skyrim)

Was it confirmed anywhere that Skyrim PC will have console commands, or is this just an assumption? - 24.209.138.219 18:06, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Although I think it has been confirmed somewhere, some things just don't need confirmation. Console commands are almost necessary for modding.


 * Imperfectus blog page  my edits  18:09, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Note, all stats can be moved either way, added or decreased

Console commands ABSOLUTELY confirmed. Muwahahahahahahahahah!

Regarding the use of "player.setav skills", doing these will mess up getting achievements, and more importantly, if you make your skill(s) 100 without normal advancing, you will have maxed out and not be able to level up any longer. IOWs, if your are a level 1, and use the "player.setav skills 100", the game thinks it is maxed and you no longer can make the level higher and you will not get any perks, levels of magicka, health and stamina. You will be stuck at level 1. Changing the level will still not get you any perks or points to use for advancing your magicka, health and stamina.

If you use the "player.setav level" command you lose perk totals the more you make your level higher. Example, you can get a max of 80 perks (IIRC), but if you make your self a level 50, you will only be able to scale up to a max of getting 49 perks (IIRC) advancing normally after setting that. IF one wants to get the normal amount of perks, they should use the "advskill ######" command on the skills and then the player will be promtped to level up while getting the perks and the points to use on Magicka, Health and Stamina.. If they want to max out their skills this way and get everything possible, then raising the level will be OK to do.

Player Spawn?
Has anyone figured out how to spawn yourself? I remember in Oblivion it was "player.createfullactorcopy", but that does not seem to work with Skyrim.


 * "player.placeleveledactoratme 7" will place a semi-working, very glitchy copy of yourself that's wearing the Skyrim commercial apparel and that has a generic person inventory. Also, it would seem that if you use (activate) this character occasionally, they will produce a short "rumbling."

PerkIDs
I can't seem to figure out how to get perk IDs for multi name perks. The page says to put " around them but in the console I can't use quotes, it just won't let me type them. Do i need to enable something else to be able to type them? Devmir (talk) 21:25, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't need quotes at all, here's what to type (note the spaces):


 * player.addperk number


 * That's all you need.


 * Tommy6860 (talk) 22:52, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * No I mean to get the actual number... Devmir (talk) 23:50, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Help "Perk Name" 4 will give you the Perk's ID. If the Perk Contains several ranks, it will give you all of them, in Descending Order [Edit - if you are adding several ranks to a nulti-rank perk, they MUST be added in order, top to bottom]. If the Perk shares a name with one or more things in the game (Spells, places, people, etc.) a long list of ID's will come up. Use Page Up to scroll through the list until you find the heading "Perk" followed by the Perk name and ID.Ganthrinor (talk) 15:14, November 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, that helps, I was wondering how to scroll up :P But the problem still persits that I can't seem to figure out how to get the ids for multi word perks, I can't use Double Quotes like the page says b/c I can't type them in the console. Any suggestions why? It seems odd that I can't type them if everyone else can. Devmir (talk) 15:18, November 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Found a way around the "can't use quotes" problem, if you just type the first word (ie. help rune 4) and scroll up the huge list you will eventually find the perk ID, no need for quotes or anything. Add it to the page? Devmir (talk) 01:02, November 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I noticed in my game that the initial rank of each perk is usually at the bottom of the list and has a code similar to "0007BABED," always having the word BABE or similar in them. I was having trouble upgrading all the way until i added the babe first, followed by the rest from the top downwards. Consider mentioning this on the main page? --Enso 22:37, 17 November, 2011 (GMT)


 * I also had the 'can't use quotes' problem, and found a slightly different workaround: whenever you need to type a single or double quote, press the button once then hit spacebar, and the quotes should appear. Falsesummer (talk) 13:04, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Recharge timer on shouts
Anyone found the vars for charge times on shouts? I want to shorten them :P

Its player.setav shoutrecoverymult 0

Basic value is 1

NPC ID Codes List?
Can someone add the NPC ID codes for the player.placeatme spawn list? The skill lists and Item lists appear to be there but not the NPC ID lists?


 * You can type "help 0" to get a list of every id in the game that has the word/phrase in it. NPC ids will have "npc_" before the names.

Kill command
What's up with kill\killactor not killing NPC's that were otherwise unkillable anyways? This iffs me alot, along with a few removals of other aspects I enjoyed, almost outweighting dragons, but not quite. Certain NPC's just keel over on their knees for me, leaving the "talk" option available, and using 'kill' doesn't finish them off either. They get back up eventually.

help "npc name" 0
 * That's because they're "essential". You can type: ​
 * to search for their base id number, then use

setessential  0
 * to make them killable. You can also just click on them in the console and put "disable" to force them to dissapear.(this works on all targetable things in the game)

Weapon Charge and Poison
Are there any Console Commands for Weapon Charge Enchantments and Posions? Just so I could avoid having to use soul gems recharging my enchanted weapons and continously putting poison on my weapon.

if you stay in god mode you wont have to recharge but i dont think you can use console to make permanent charge.... u could use player.additem for those stones that fully charge it instantly theyre weightless if i remember correctly but as far as poison goes again im unsure

Dragon corpse bug - solution?
Is there a command to 'delete' objects? I often encounter non-skeletal dead dragons spawning in towns or cities (I assume dead via random encounters or something) - but the bodies just flop down into the streets, obstructing view and looking... rediculous. Is there a command to delete such 'objects' and how do I use it?

93.176.67.188 11:29, November 16, 2011 (UTC) 16. November 2011 Webkilla

Open up the console, mouse click on the object, and type in 'markfordeletion' (or maybe markfordelete, or markfordel, I can't recall exactly at this moment), and the game will delete it next time it automatically erase stuff.

Lord DFM /disable

Faction IDs
Can someone please add the faction IDs for player.addfac or addtofaction command?

ForceAV
Obviously we have many people who have not dabbled in Oblivion commands. ForceAV should NOT be used interchangably with setav or modav. As the name suggests, it forces the value onto the character, and ignores a lot of automatic calculations done by the game, such as item bonuses. This has been edited into the article.

Over-leveling:
If you reduce your skills, does your level drop? IE could you work up to skill = 100, reset it to 50, and then level further then 80 (gaining more perks?)

Best way to do that is to use Setplayerlevel to something lower, then level up with other skills to achieve more perks. If you want to do this, it's best to do it early on in the game, unless you leave yourself with an easily raised skill to re-level manually (or use Advskill since you're cheating anyway).Ganthrinor (talk) 13:34, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Showracemenu
Not noted in the article is that some, not all, passive bonuses are removed when you use this command, irregardless of what you change. Spent 4 hours roaming around finally came across a magic using boss and realized I was taking a ton of damage for some reason. This was partly because the 20% extra resist from my shield was no longer active, and partly because the 25% bonus you get just for being a Breton had also been removed. For the shield I just needed to re-equip it, but how would you re-add a passive race bonus?

MMV 04:52, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

addspell aa01f is the passive Breton bonus, assuming addspell will work for other race bonuses too.

just restart the game it will sort itself out

Methods to Force Marriage and/or Follow
In order to marry any NPC you'll need to do three things. First, the NPC must be in the marriage faction, second they must have a high enough disposition towards you, and third, you must wear the amulet of Mara and speak to them.

'''[addfac 19809 0] [setrelationshiprank 4]'''

Similarly this allows an NPC to become a follower:

[addfac 5C84D 0]

You must also set their relationship rank high enough to make them want to follow you. However, you'll also want to change their confidence level up or they will simply run from battle.

to do this, use the [setav confidence 4] command line

IMPORTANT: If you don't want your follower dying, and they aren't already essential (most marryable NPC's are) use the [setessential  1 command, so that when defeated, they will simply kneel over rather than dying. You can check whether or not an NPC is essential via checking this page (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:People), or looking that npc up on that website.

Even if used on an NPC with no normal dialog options, if they are a member of the correct faction AND their disposition is high enough, they will gain the right dialog options.

setrelationshiprank ranks are from -4 to 4, which are archnemesis to lover respectively.

Furthermore, you'll need to use the [setclass ] command if you wish your follower to have the correct combat AI, as, for example, some NPC's have their class set to [farmer], and therefore will not cast spells, or [priest], and therefore will not use weapons and usually attempt to punch people to death.

The recommended class to use would be Spellsword or Nightblade, as either of these will cause the AI to use both weapons and spells (and even dual weild spells, if necsisary), both can be found via [help 0]. Class functions will show up as 'CLAS' in the given list.

(for more on NPC classes, there is a talk page below this one)

-on a side note, using the [modav ] and [addspell ] functions to make NPC's who aren't supposed to be good in battle better off helps quite a bit. (use this for spell ID's http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Spells)

(also, it appears the bug affecting illia that causes her to not be re-recruitable once taken off of the party also causes her to not be able affected by the force marriage command)

Note: the only real factor, after all this is done, determining whether or not an NPC can marry or follow you is whether or not the voice files exist for that NPC's voice overs. Look for people with voices you recognize from follower or marryable NPC's, and you should be able to make them eligable for marriage or being a follower. (as an example, you can't ever marry a khajiit, as there are no voice files for it. Likewise, there are no voice files for female argonian followers)

If you have questions, post a comment below.

(If you don't like reading a lot just read the questions. Sorry for the lengthy post.)

Unfortunatly that doesnt help me. I have yet to try adding factions to NPCs that are already in one or the other factions and I'm sure that when properly implemented it would probably work. What I'm trying to do is a bit more challenging. Though this may teach me a bit more about the process. Also note that I have already undergone the normal way to get married. I understand how it works and have already gone through a few mara amulet glitches and passed them. No, I want to try and take an NPC that has dialogue options and is in neither faction and put them in both. The reason I add "dialogue options" is because I believe that enabling them is a further complication. Whenever I add an NPC to both factions that has no dialogue options, no dialogue options are enabled as a result. So I will ammend my questions to be more accurate.

I also find it interesting the ease at which you have applied the factions when one is already present and working. It may imply that "disposition" (whatever that means) may indeed be the the catalyst for your success. This makes question 3-6 all the more important. (On a side note, I second the above Faction ID request for the same reason I have posted this. It would be extremely helpful.)
 * 1) What is the faction ID for CurrentFollowerFaction and will it force an NPC to open up the follower dialogue? - Answer: Only if they like you enough to marry you.
 * 2) When adding the PotentialFollowerFaction and PotentialMarriageFaction to an NPC that has no dialogue, what is required to enable dialogue with the NPC so that following and marrying are feasible? (simply adding them to the two factions will not enable dialogue) - Answer: They have to like you enough and then they will gain the marriage dialog option. To set this select them and type: setrelationshiprank player 4
 * 3) When adding the PotentialFollowerFaction and PotentialMarriageFaction to an NPC that has dialogue, what is required to open up the follower and marriage options in dialogue? - Answer: Same answer as 1 and 2.
 * 4) If the answer is "Disposition," how do I change the disposion of an NPC with the console so that I may marry when disposition is the only factor preventing it? - Answer: see 2
 * 5) What exactly is "Disposition?" In Oblivion, a user could directly edit it via the console. In Skyrim are they flags that display disposition like in oblivion and thus are editable via the console? Or are they flags that display whether a "Favor" or quest has been completed that pertains to a particular faction? Answer: getrelationshiprank and setrelationshiprank, value is -4 to 4.
 * 6) What other factors other than "Disposition" could be preventing the marriage and follower dialogue options? - Answer: Some NPC classes cannot be married (like a child).
 * 7) Are there any alternative methods to forcing an NPC to follow or marry via the console? - Answer: Don't know, but the above works.

 * Just a quick note here, but there also appears to be a value determining combat willingness, as, for example, when Muiri is force recruited as a follower, rather than fighting, when in combat she will run and hide regardless of circumstances.

I am unsure whether this is due to her being part of a certain faction type (it isn't that she's part of the merchant faction, as Carlotta is as well and can certainly fight). It also isn't due to aggression, as this value is apparantly only present on enemies. (I've tried editing aggression, it comes up with error messages)

UPDATE, WILLINGNESS TO FIGHT IS CHANGED VIA "CONFIDENCE" COMMAND LINE (setav confidence 4 makes them willing to fight)

MORE UPDATES so, as taken from the uesp website, the new relationship command is:

[getrelationshiprank {reference}] [setrelationshiprank {reference} {value}]

first one finds out what rank they're at, second one sets it from -4 to 4.

sadly, it seems that this still has no effect on being able to add marriage options/followers. I'll have to test it some more.

EVEN MORE UPDATES it appears that it still has no effect. It would seem that the only determening factor is whether or not the NPC has dialogue options and is voiced by someone who has also done the follower/marriage dialogue options.

(For the record, I never used to AutoHotKey Software. I just used the Bat command. If that affects something significantly tell me)

I figure out how to do it. I found a "mod" if you can call it that. It's a collection of batch scripts that do it all for you. I looked at the Tame script and it along with the appropriate ForceRefIntoAlias command will force any npc including animals to follow you. The instrucctions are on the page and you can open the same thing by typing "Bat Help" or "Bat Helpahk" if you are using Autohotkey. There are also scripts to force trade, command mode (You know, where you make npcs sit or attack and stuff) and a few others. I'll provide a link, you guys can play with it and hopefully explain a few parts and then come back and read the rest of my post so you understand it better because I still have a few question. And quite frankly, my above questions still apply because I've yet to understand some of the commands in the batch script...

Go play with it first before you read more: http://www.curse.com/mods/skyrim/creature-npc-control-mod-ahk

For instance, The Ally script is NOT a part of the tame script. Why is it there then? What exactly does it do other than add the NPC to a bunch of factions? What are the factions? What are the significance of the factions?And what is the significance of the first command? (Keep in mind that when we get out grubby paws on the Creation Kit, understanding these factions will help us to make mods. If anybody has any info oon factions it would be a great help) setplayerteammate 1 Addfac 0005A1A4 0 Addfac 0004B58F 0 Addfac 0007A50A 0 Addfac 0004b58e 0 Addfac 000D25A6 0 Addfac 000665E6 0 In the follow script, WaitingForPlayer is an Actor Value? setav WaitingForPlayer 0 I played a bit with the "Favor commands and found nothing, but in the Order scripts (Command mode) SetFavorState apparently opens command mode SetFavorstate 1 And finally the Tame script. The commands that actually makes this work. ssq DialogueFollower sifh 1 set FavorFollowTimerFriend to -1 set FavorTimer to -1 What are all those commands? What is favor?

Anyway, have fun with that and I hope you guys can figure out wth all those commands are and do.

21 November, 2011

I've found that you have to put the change in quotes.

setrelationshiprank "4"

~unsigned


 * ^....no you don't. You can simply put it in without quotes. Proof of this being that if you use it without quotes and then use [getrelationshiprank ], it will show it at whatever you set it at.


 * @ 68.169.157.18
 * -sifh is the set ignore friendly hits function, making them not attack back if you attack them
 * -setfavorstate appears to put any NPC in the state of waiting for orders, such as when you give orders to followers.

To the guy whose post I vandalized,

I apologize. I am new to editing wiki articles and I didn't realize my mistake. Had I known what I had done would be considered vandalism I wouldn't have done it. I have to mention however the only persons post I edited or added to was yours and only that one. I never vandalized the whole guide. Perhaps I'm not the only culprit? With that said, I still cannot get what you described to work. You said it has to do with the voice files. This makes since. But I'm attempting to get two different male argonians to follow/marry. Male argonians have the voice files (and one of them is already in the PotentialMarriageFaction to boot [Scouts-Many-Marshes]). The next problem is "Disposition." But if it were simply that it would be an actor value would it not? Whenever I add Scouts or Teeba-Ei (Because I wanted to see if I could [he has no dialogue]) to either faction, new dialogue never appears. No matter what combination of SetRelationshipRank and AddFac I use I cant get either of them to open up dialogue for following or marriage. Did I just make the most unlucky choices in NPCs? Or is there some other factor preventing this from working?

Oh and as a way to attempt to preserve what little brain capacity I have shown to have, I went and figured out what you meant for the SetClass part. I was wrong. Sorry.

68.169.157.18 02:03, November 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * @68.169.157.18

to be honest, [setrelationshiprank] appears to have no effect on some NPC's. I put it there because it does effect some, and it's better to just have people do it than have some conveluted reason after telling them why I left it out.

Some NPC's simply cannot marry (regardless of voice files), as far as I've been able to figure out (this is common with several shopkeepers) I haven't been able to find the exact reason why.

Furthermore, due to the fact that some NPC's require completion of quests to marry (such as Muiri and the dark brotherhood quest), you need to complete those first. I have not yet been able to find out the value determining whether or not you've completed the required quest to make an NPC marriage eligable. It is sometimes possible to skip these via console commands, but sometimes not.

I don't know if the reason they can't join as a follower is due to voice files, but I do know there is, according to the UESP wiki, only one Argonian follower, so he may have seperate voice files than other. I haven't found him ingame, so I really have no idea. (it's Derkeethus, he's in Daarkwater pass, and is both marriable and a follower, by the way)

Furthermore, the game will apparantly bug out with some marriage factions. For example, Grelka in Riften is apparantly able to marry, but I've had no avail getting her to be able to marry or follow using console commands.

I'll look into the voicefiles stuff at some point, but I procrastinate rather badly, so it might take some time :|

Vampire feeding
just wondering, after getting a bit excited about being able to become either a vampire or a werewolf, i decided i would try and become both. i successfully managed it, but there is a problem. once you are a "werepire" and you decide to use beast form, once your back to "normal" you lose the function to feed on sleeping NPCs. after researching the console and commands and finding some commands on my own i worked out that the only way i could feed again is to input this code "SetPlayerRace 00088794" what that does is change my race to a nord vampire, and i can feed again. however, all my skills change and my health, magicka and stamina go back to 100... i was wondering if anyone knows if there is a command to just enable feeding as a vampire. ive tried "player.SetClass 0002E00F" which changes your class to a vampire (totally dont know if thats what it does tbh), but it only takes my hp mag and sta down to 100 and fucks my skills. i dont really like using the console to "cheat" in any way but to be able to be a vampire and a werewolf at the same time is quite fun and would like to continue the game in this manner. (plus i cant be assed goin back a load of saves) any help would be totally fuckin awesome :)

so to sum up, i just need a command i can input in the console to enable feeding

I had a similar problem. I used showracemenu to change my race (knowing full well that I can use the console to normalize any problems with perks, etc). After this I was still a vampire, subject to being blood-starved, but I couldn't feed. Even sadder than it sounds I was on my way to get my Vampirism cured (i.e. the very last step of the quest.)

It's not a perfect solution for what you want, but you can use this command: "setstage 000eafd5 10." That will remove Vampirism enitrely. Your appearance will get reset, similar to Oblivion, but it seemed to be mostly related to color, weight, and nose length (?). If you'd like to be a guinea pig, try advancing the quest backwards by typing 1 or 2 instead of 10. Though if you remain a werewolf this will continue to happen. You'd have thought Bethesda would have included a script to keep that from being possible, but I guess things slip through when you make a game like Skyrim. 99.23.198.131 21:59, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Setrace command line
just an interesting observation.. setrace can be used on any NPC, and is not limited by playable races. For example, selecting an NPC and using the command line "setrace dog" will turn the npc into a talking dog.

alternatively, using setrace on an animal npc (such as a dog) to make them a playable race, appears to turn them into a floating head.

(so far, working animal races I've found include dog, chicken, wolf, fox, deer, goat,sabrecat, horker, horse, hagraven, cow, mammoth, troll, giant, falmer, spriggan and dragon (yes, you can turn NPC's into dragons))

= WARNING= setting an npc race to an animal race may make them dissapear or become untargetable, causing them to be unable to be changed back

Remove Active Effects?
Any console command to remove Active Effects? I have a glitched Reanimate Trall effect that is making everyone react as if I was wielding Destruction magic when I pass by or speak to them. Pretty annoying. Thanks! 98.235.91.135 05:50, November 20, 2011 (UTC)

Killed Cicero, resurrect as follower?
Is there any way to make Cicero a follower? I killed him in the quest because he was annoying, but I miss him, and regret killing him since he didn't actually break any tenets :(. I resurrected him and used "setrelationshiprank player 4" to get him so I can talk to him and not fight, but whenever I use "addtofaction 0005C84D 0" he attacks me. (UESP: "Ex. "addtofaction 0005C84D 0 " will add the selected NPC to the PotentialFollowerFaction, giving the NPC all necessary dialogue to be slected as a new follower.") I tried addfac 5C84D 1 (and addtofaction 0005C84D 1) as is listed here, but then he still does not have the dialogue. Any help would be much appreciated

NPC [setclass]
you can toggle npc combat AI using the "setclass" command.

to find a class ID, use the [help 0] command. it should show you the class ID there

---

example:

command line :

help spellsword 0

Result:

'CLAS' (00013177) 'Spellsword'

'CLAS' (0002F202) 'Player Spellsword'

'CLAS' (0010F7F9) 'Spellsword'

'NPC_' (000B11EF) 'Spellsword'

--

other classes include farmer, warrior, nightblade, ect. most of them can be found on the UESP wiki on character pages

The Other Console Command Page
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console JP585 (talk) 20:12, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

i'm on my second playthrough, but this time i powerlvld my sneak, heavy armor, one-handed weapon and smithing to 100 (except one-handed cause i got bored slashing ralof) using the methods mentioned in the wikia not via console.

im already at level 40 and yet i still havent left riverwood since i first arrived. so i'm wondering if use the console commands to lower my level to 10, will the game scale with me or cause massive bugs when i move on? cause when i explored a bit i encountered frost trolls and others and a random encounter with a boethia cultist that triggers a quest or sumthing and he almost kicked my ass with just 4 slashes, is that cultist that powerful or just scaled with me? so if it's alright tell me what you think. thanks.

NPC Base IDs
NPC base ID information is required to use the setessential command. Why was the link to look up these base ids removed (without explanation) from the command instructions? This information is not easily found through google.

Console commands for learning an enchantment/removing enchantment from a unique item?
As in, I just got to the part in the thieves guild questline where you get the Nightingale Set. And the hood looks awesome, but hate the stats for illusion. I was wondering if it was possible to use console commands to remove that enchantment and make it to like a standard item so that I could later use it at an enchanting table to give it my own enchantment?

Also I was wondering if it'll work to force learn an enchantment, such as using console commands to learn an the enchantment on some of the Shrouded Armor pieces and other unique items.

I know that all the commands have yet to be discovered and listed on these pages and with all the console commands I've seen so far that are available, it would be weird if one like this didn't exist. Is it even possible in the coding of the game to make and enchanted item by default unbecome an enchanted item?

Any answer at all would help a lot. Thanks.

Racial powers cooldown
Is there any way to change racial powers cooldown just like shouts? ( player.modav shoutrecoverymult x ) anything like this?
