Skyrim - list of cheats TES V: Skyrim Guide
Last update: 11 December 2019
This page of the guide to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has information on how to use cheats to make the game easier. Cheats can, among other things, make the character immortal, speed up its development or reveal all locations on the map.
General information about cheats for Skyrim
- Cheats are available only in the PC version. You can't enter cheats if you have a console version.
- Cheats don't require you to make any changes to the game files. You can open the console window without any additional actions.
- Using some of the advanced features (e.g. unlocking all quests, turning the AI off) can lead to unwanted behavior of the game or even a crash. All cheats should be used with caution.
- We recommend that you save the game just in case before entering any cheat. This reduces the risk of losing progress due to a game crash.
How to enter cheats in Skyrim?
Press the ~ key. This should open the console window. You can now enter the commands listed below.
