Skyrim Console Commands: God Mode, Gold, Skills and More (PC)

How to use the console

1. Load your save and press ~. The game pauses and a text line appears at the bottom of the screen.
2. Type the command and press Enter. Some commands act on a target: click a person or object while the console is open to select it first.
3. Press ~ again to close the console.

Make a separate save before you experiment. Some commands, such as psb, change your character in ways you cannot easily undo.

God mode and movement

Command	What it does
tgm	God mode: you cannot die, and stamina and magicka do not run out. Type it again to turn it off.
tcl	Turns off collision so you can move through walls and fly. Handy when you are stuck.

tmm 1	Shows every map marker. tmm 0 hides them all again.
