After over ten years, Skyrim still gathers and draws masses of loyal fans. But there’s a way to make this familiar gameplay even more engaging!
Whether you require some help during your journey or new ways to explore your favorite winter land, Skyrim cheats come to the rescue. After entering specific console commands, the gameplay becomes more personalized, less complicated, and fun.
All you need to do is know a few handy codes and enjoy a refreshed RPG experience! Whether you’re playing the classic or remastered edition – they work within all of them except (ironically) the console versions. So, PC players, take notes and have fun with the best Skyrim console commands!
How to Use the Console
Accessing the console is as easy as pie – just hit the ~ (tilde) keyboard shortcut. The screen reveals a dedicated window in the lower left corner. Type your favorite codes and confirm with the enter key. But there’s a catch – to use them safely, save your progress before such action. Some may result in glitches or crashes – if autosave saves this state of affairs, there is no way back. Therefore, you can turn off autosave and save the game yourself by hitting F5.
Also, using them means saying goodbye to achievements on Steam or other platforms. If you are ready to pay this price, let’s continue to the magical power of console codes.
Essential codes
As mentioned above, the codes require pressing ~ and confirming the ready-made shortcuts with the enter button. Characters scale does not matter. You can use these codes on other objects or NPCs by clicking on them with the console open or typing their name (ID). To select your character, type ‘player.’ before entering the cheat. That’s all! Now, let’s explore the most fun options sorted by category.

Safety and Best Practices
As you already know, saving your progress before entering codes is necessary. It is better to have a safe backup of the gameplay condition, free from bugs and glitches. You may also wonder whether cheats are even ethically acceptable.
It is a unique choice for each player, depending on their needs. Some may find Skyrim too challenging to complete in the classic version, so a little helps enjoy the game. Those who completed the title may want to explore it from an entirely new perspective using these methods.
Conclusion
Although console codes turn off achievements on Steam, they are pretty entertaining. Playing without worries and complex problems means gaining access to the essence of the video games’ existence – fun. And Bethesda knows this very well, creating titles supporting mods and codes. So explore this opportunity, try different combinations, and share which ones proved the best!
