After having so many years to potter around Tamriel, you may be looking for some Skyrim cheats to spice up your adventuring, or just to visit that area of the map you were never able to get to through legitimate means. Fancy turning yourself into a giant towering over Skyrim? Or learning every spell, perk, and skill with a few simple commands? Well if you're a PC player then you're in luck, as we've got all the Skyrim console codes you could need to become the ultimate Dragonborn and keep you occupied until Elder Scrolls 6 arrives. Sadly for console players, there are no Skyrim cheats available to you, but if you visit these Skyrim hidden chest locations then you can at least stock up on some decent loot to help you on your way.

How to use Skyrim console commands

As with many other PC games, entering Skyrim console commands is simply a case of pressing the tilde (~) key to open up the developer console, then typing in the command code in the correct format. You can enter multiple codes to stack up various different effects, then hit tilde once again to return to the game and reap the ill-gotten rewards you've given yourself. Unless otherwise stated, entering the same code a second time should turn it off again.

This may sound obvious, but it's worth reinforcing that using some of these codes (especially in combination with others) can cause glitches, mess up ongoing storylines, or crash your game entirely, so make sure you create a back up save and keep it separate before you start playing around - otherwise you may find you've permanently broken your progress, and nobody wants to deal with that in a game the size of Skyrim. Also, achievements will be disabled as soon as you start entering these codes, so unfortunately you won't be able to cheat your way to completing any challenges.
