The PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has cheat codes that add items to your inventory, unlock all spells, and adjust the in-game camera among other things. Learn how to enter cheats in Skyrim for Windows.

These cheats are exclusive to the Windows version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. There are additional Skyrim cheats for the console versions.

How to Enter Cheat Codes in Skyrim

Press the tilde (~) key while playing to bring up the cheat console, then type in one of the codes below and press Enter to activate it.

Many cheat codes require additional modifiers such as a quantity or an ID code. The player.additem code requires both. For example, to add 999 gold to your inventory, use the following syntax:

player.additem 0000000f 999

All items, objects, and spells have a unique ID code. You can use the player.additem cheat with the appropriate ID codes for items in Skyrim to get all of the potions, ingredients, and crafting materials you need. The Elder Scroll Wiki has a complete list of all ID codes and console commands for Skyrim.

Enter help in the cheat console to see a full list of commands at your disposal.
