Console Commands in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Special Edition) are used as a debugging tool for PC players. You can access the Console by hitting the ` or ~ key on your keyboard (right under ESC). This brings up a pop-up window in which you can enter text commands.
How to Use the Console
- To use the console, simply type using the keyboard.
- Codes are not case-sensitive (a = A) and is entered as Code <Variable> <#>.
- Example of an add item code is: Player.AddItem <ItemID> <#>. # represents the amount (quantity) of needed item. The ItemIDs can be seen from the list below.
- The code for adding 500 gold for example is: player.additem f 500 .
NOTE: These commands can cause game-crashes and may corrupt your profile. USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK.

| lock <#> | Lock chests, doors or people. <#> = the level of difficulty. (0-100, any larger and the lock cannot be picked) |
| kill | Instantly kills target. (Does not kill characters/creatures marked 'essential', only causes them to fall to the ground for a few minutes.) |
| Resurrect <#> | Return a dead NPC to life. Replace <#> with 1 to resurrect with all current items intact. Leave off <#> to have the corpse removed & a new copy spawned. |
| removeallitems | Removes all items in the targets inventory. Use the <player> variable to transfer all items to own inventory. |

| setlevel <1>,<2>,<3>,<4> | Sets the level of an NPC compared to the player. SetLevel 1000,0,1,81 will make target level with you from 1 to 81. 1: <% of PC's level * 10> The NPC's level in comparison to player, based on % of players level.

Also note that the lowest possible value to change the scale, is 0.1, and the highest possible value to change the scale, is 10.00, exactly on the dot. |
| moveto player | Teleports the targeted NPC to you. (Works similar to player.placeatme <BaseID> <#> but does not create a new reference of the base object.) |
| player.setrelationshiprank <RefID> <#> | Used to set an NPCs disposition towards the player. <#> = 1-4 Note: If this doesn't help when attempting to add Follower dialogue, try setrelationshiprank <RefID> <#> then player.setrelationshiprank <RefID> <#>. |

| SetAngle <axis> <#> | Sets the value of given rotational axis (x,y,z) of the target (the change happens when the targeted object is picked up). |
