Console Commands (Skyrim)



Console Commands are a debugging tool available to PC players, adding a wide range of functionality to the game. On American English keyboards, the tilde key (~) will toggle the console screen, but on British English keyboards, that key is the grave key ( ` ). The tilde key on American English keyboards also picture the grave symbol. The key is located below Escape ( Esc ) and just left of the one (1) key.

Batch Lists
Batch Lists allow you to enter multiple command codes all at once. Simply open Notepad and type in the console codes you need (one per line) and save it in the game files:


 * Steam: "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim"
 * Non-Steam: "C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim" or "C:\Program Files\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim"

Start the game and simply type.

Example. Below is the template for the Riften radiant quests. Copy and paste this into Notepad (or similar program) then save it in the game files (in this example it will be called "riften"). Close the program and start the game. Bring up the console and type  and press enter.

Bugs

 * Kill command: In third person mode, the player can go into console and select themselves, and then use the kill command. This will cause the Dragonborn to die. However, this is easily glitched. If the Dragonborn is still selected, the  command will cause major problems. First, the view will be stuck in third person mode from the angle visible at the time of death. The HUD will be completely invisible unless the Dragonborn is crouching. Animations will be broken as well, i.e. holding an iron dagger won't always register, so the fists animation will be used. The iron dagger will still be in-hand. Ragdoll physics also apply when in this state.
 * This can be fixed by being attacked by a Greybeard using Ice Form.
 * If the player attempts to resurrect themselves through the console, the game will likely crash.
 * Toggle Collision: When using the  command there is a bug in the programming that will not always allow it to activate collision, when it does allow the command to work when typing   to disable the effect the same issue can occur.
 * The only fix for this is to save your game, exit game to desktop, reopen game and continue on.
