How do I access the console in the game?
- While playing the original PC edition, press
~to open the console. - Type
helpin the console to see a command list, as Bethesda Support instructs. - When finished, use the console’s close control or the key that opened it to return to play.
Bethesda notes that a UK keyboard configured for the UK layout may require the grave-accent key (`) instead of ~. Bethesda also documents possible scan-code conflicts involving Microsoft eHome devices or Microsoft Infrared Remote Control (MIRC). These are troubleshooting notes, not a guarantee that changing keys or devices will resolve every keyboard issue.
Which PC console commands and cheats are covered here?
These examples come from PC command references; they are not independently tested here. Enter them in the console, and replace bracketed or angled-bracketed text with the relevant value rather than typing the placeholder literally.
| Command | What the reference shows | What to supply or check |
|---|---|---|
help |
Bethesda says it displays a command list. | Type it in the open console. |
player.additem [Item Code] [#] |
The GameFAQs AddItem Code List gives this item-add format. | Use the item’s ID for [Item Code] and the quantity for [#]. |
player.setstage <QuestID> <Stage> |
GameFAQs provides this as a quest-stage example. | Both the quest ID and stage must be correct. Do not treat it as a general-purpose quest fix. |
GameFAQs also notes that some commands require selecting an object with the mouse while the console is open. Whether a command needs a selected target depends on the command; consult its specific reference rather than assuming every command acts on the player.

#1 Best Overall
- Live Another Life in Another World - Create and play any character you can imagine, from the noble warrior to the sinister assassin to the wizened sorcerer.
- First-Person Melee and Magic - An all-new combat and magic system brings first person role-playing to a new level of intensity where you feel every blow.
- Radiant AI - This groundbreaking AI system gives Oblivion's characters full 24/7 schedules and the ability to make their own choices based on the world around them. Non-player characters eat, sleep, and complete goals all on their own.
- New Lands to Explore - In the Shivering Isles expansion, see a world created in Sheogorath's own image, one divided between Mania and Dementia and unlike anything you've experienced in Oblivion.
- Challenging New Foes - Battle the denizens of Shivering Isles, a land filled with hideous insects, Flesh Atronachs, skeletal Shambles, amphibeous Grummites, and many more.
How do I find an item ID?
- Identify the exact item and the game version or content it belongs to.
- Look up the item in a PC Oblivion item-code reference. The user-contributed GameFAQs AddItem Code List groups entries into categories including potions, armor, arrows, books and scrolls, ingredients, keys, miscellaneous items, NPCs, clothing, soul gems, and weapons.
- Check the individual entry against a version-specific reference before using it. A Steam Community guide points readers to UESP item pages as a lookup route, but that guide is corroboration for the workflow rather than a comprehensive authority.
- Enter the confirmed ID and desired quantity in
player.additem [Item Code] [#].
For example, the Steam Community guide gives Player.AddItem 6EE68 2 for receiving two Master Mortar and Pestles. Treat this as a community-provided example, not a guarantee that the ID works in every edition or content setup.
Do item IDs work across the original game, DLC, mods, and Remastered?
Do not assume that one item-ID list applies universally. The references here concern the original PC game, and they do not establish a complete compatibility matrix for the base game, official DLC, mods, or Oblivion Remastered. Bethesda’s 2006-copyright PC manual describes ESP plugins as content additions, so installed plugins are another reason to check an ID against the content actually in use. The manual does not establish that commands or IDs behave identically across editions.
Rank #2
- Used Book in Good Condition
Keep the scope visible when using a code: confirm whether its reference is for the original PC game and whether it covers the relevant installed content. If the reference does not identify that scope, regard compatibility as unverified.
