==Detailed Walkthrough==
:''If Vivec has already been defeated, refer to the [[Morrowind:Yagrum Bagarn and Wraithguard|Yagrum Bagarn and Wraithguard]] article to learn how to use the [[Morrowind:Wraithguard|Wraithguard]].

===Overview of the Fourth and Fifth Trials===
By now you should have either completed the Fourth and Fifth Trials (being named Hortator by the three Great Houses and Nerevarine by the four Ashlander Tribes), or [[Morrowind:The_Path_of_the_Incarnate#Bypassing_the_Fourth_and_Fifth_Trials|bypassed]] them (by being at least level 20 and having 50 or more reputation). You will be told that you should meet with the Archcanon in Vivec High Fane, so head there now.

===Finding the Archcanon===
Meet with Danso Indules in the [[Morrowind:Vivec Temple|Temple Canton]] of [[Morrowind:Vivec (city)|Vivec]], in the central exterior tunnel. Danso says that Archcanon Saryoni is waiting for you in his private quarters in the East Chapel of the High Fane. Once you enter the High Fane, you quickly discover that the Archcanon is actually behind a {{Hover|level 45|locked}} door. Unfortunately there's an Ordinator standing nearby which means that none but the most stealthy of characters may wish to try it. There is a '''back door''' from the Hall of Wisdom and, although the door is still {{Hover|level 50|locked}}, there's no Ordinator on watch.

To reach this back door, go down to the lower level outside, the Hall of Justice on the west, the Hall of Wisdom on the east. Enter the Hall of Wisdom from the south side and turn left at the second corridor. A few steps and you come to a four way intersection, a doorway to the Hall of Justice in front of you, stairs to either side and a short corridor to the left. Turn left along this corridor and go up the stairs, coming to the locked back door.

===Talking with the Archcanon===
Once inside the Archcanon's office, you can talk with Tholer Saryoni. Choose "Temple's doctrine," and after a brief talk, you are given the choice to visit the god [[Morrowind:Vivec (god)|Vivec]], who will hopefully shed some more light on the current situation. When you say yes, you are given two keys: for the Archcanon's office and the [[Morrowind:Palace of Vivec|Palace of Vivec]]. You are warned that the Ordinators are still not under Tholer's control.

===Meet with Vivec===
The [[Morrowind:Palace of Vivec|Palace of Vivec]] can be found at the top of the puzzle canal, south of the [[Morrowind:Vivec Temple|Temple Canton]]. You can find [[Morrowind:Vivec (god)|Vivec]] just inside the entrance. Vivec goes over the plan for you to follow in the future (assuming you accept all the items and oaths). You receive the [[Morrowind:Wraithguard|Wraithguard]], a powerful right gauntlet needed to defeat [[Morrowind:Dagoth Ur (god)|Dagoth Ur]]. Vivec gives you his blessing and says that he will end the persecution of the [[Morrowind:Dissident Priests|Dissident Priests]] and the [[Morrowind:Nerevarine|Nerevarine]] by the [[Morrowind:Tribunal Temple|Tribunal Temple]] (After which the Temple ends its hostility and you can join the Temple or complete any open Temple quests). You receive detailed [[Morrowind:Plan_to_Defeat_Dagoth_Ur|plans]] on exactly how to go about defeating Dagoth Ur.

===Plan to Defeat Dagoth Ur===
The plan involves five basic steps:

#A series of aggressive raids within the Ghostfence.
#A series of aggressive raids to neutralize [[Morrowind:Dagoth Ur (god)|Dagoth Ur]]'s ash vampire kin and recover artifacts from the bodies of said kin.
#An assault of [[Morrowind:Vemynal|Gate Citadel Vemynal]] to neutralize Dagoth Vemyn and recover the artifact hammer [[Morrowind:Sunder|Sunder]].
#An assault of [[Morrowind:Odrosal|Gate Citadel Odrosal]], to neutralize Dagoth Odros and recover the artifact blade [[Morrowind:Keening|Keening]].
#An assault of [[Morrowind:Dagoth Ur (facility)|Citadel Dagoth Ur]] with the artifacts [[Morrowind:Wraithguard|Wraithguard]], Sunder, and Keening to sever Dagoth Ur's connection to the Heart of Lorkhan and thus to destroy Dagoth Ur.

The plans [[Morrowind:Vivec (god)|Vivec]] gives you are detailed and are of great aid, so read and use them.

|id=B8_MeetVivec
|1||Athyn Sarethi gave me a sealed package containing a message sent on behalf of Archcanon Saryoni, High Archcanon of Vivec. In the event that I become both Hortator of the three Great Houses and Nerevarine of the four Ashlander tribes, Saryoni invites me to a private meeting to consider my claims. Once I am Hortator and Nerevarine, I should speak with the healer of the High Fane of Vivec, Danso Indules, to arrange the meeting.
|5||The archcanon is in his private quarters, and he wants to speak with me, but I must avoid confrontations with the Ordinators at all costs, because spilling the blood of faithful servants of the Temple will make a reconciliation more difficult. The archcanon has spoken with the High Fane Ordinators, but if I am a wanted criminal, they may try to arrest me.
|20||The Ordinators guarding the High Fane know that I have come to meet with Saryoni. They warned me not to break the law, or they will take swift action.
|25||Archcanon Saryoni accepted my apology for killing the Ordinator guard at the High Fane. He said it was time to risk trusting one another.
|30||Archcanon Saryoni has suggested that the Temple's policy concerning the Nerevarine might change, and has arranged a private meeting with Lord Vivec. He gave me two keys: one to the private back entrance to his quarters, the other to a locked entrance to Lord Vivec's palace. He says the Ordinators are not under his control, and asks that I avoid them. Lord Vivec is expecting me, and perhaps I shouldn't keep him waiting.
|34||I refused to accept Wraithguard from Lord Vivec. He dismissed me, but told me to come back if I changed my mind.
|36||Lord Vivec asked me if I would accept Wraithguard, and he would not accept my answer of 'maybe.' He dismissed me, but told me to come back if I changed my mind.
|38||I refused to swear my oath, before all gods and men, before all spirits visible and invisible, before my honor and Vivec's honor, to dedicate myself and Wraithguard to the defeat and destruction of Dagoth Ur, and the preservation of Morrowind and its people. Vivec said I would not find Wraithguard useful, because without my oath, he wouldn't teach me its use. He dismissed me, but told me to come back if I changed my mind.
|40||Lord Vivec wouldn't accept a 'maybe' in answer to his demand that I swear an oath to dedicate myself and Wraithguard to the defeat and destruction of Dagoth Ur, and the preservation of Morrowind and its people. He said I would not find Wraithguard useful, because without my oath, he wouldn't teach me its use. He dismissed me, but told me to come back if I changed my mind.

Vivec somehow taught me how to use Wraithguard. He then offered to give some explanations, or to let me go immediately, as I wished.
|55|fin|To defeat Dagoth Ur, Vivec says I must go to Red Mountain to recover the artifact hammer Sunder from Gate Citadel Vemynal, then the artifact blade Keening from Gate Citadel Odrosal. Then, with these artifacts and Wraithguard, if I destroy the enchantments on the Heart of Lorkhan in Dagoth Ur's citadel, Dagoth Ur will be destroyed, and the Blight ended. Vivec gave me 'The Plan to Defeat Dagoth Ur' to explain the details.

|1||Nibani Maesa says I must go to Vivec's high priest, Saryoni, and demand to speak with the false god Vivec. She says Kagrenac's tools are the keys to the riddle of the Sixth and Seventh Trials, and that I must get them from Vivec.
|!||B8_BackDoor1

|1||Divayth Fyr was surprised and disappointed that I had not fulfilled the Nerevarine prophecies. He says he has heard rumors that Archcanon Saryoni hopes I will come speak with him at the High Fane in Vivec City.
|!||B8_BackDoor4
|1||Mehra Milo was concerned that I had not fulfilled the Nerevarine prophecies. She says that Archcanon Tholer Saryoni, the high priest of the Temple, is desperate, and that he asks that I come speak with him at the High Fane in Vivec City. She begged me to go to Saryoni.
|!||B8_BackDoor5
|1||Gilvas Barelo was concerned that I had not fulfilled the Nerevarine prophecies. He says that Archcanon Tholer Saryoni, the high priest of the Temple, is desperate. Barelo asked me to go speak with Saryoni at the High Fane in Vivec City.
|!||B8_BackDoor6
|1||Nibani Maesa was concerned that I had not fulfilled the Nerevarine prophecies. She says she hears that a man named Tholer Saryoni, the leader of the Temple, is desperate. Nibani Maesa asked me to go speak with Saryoni at the High Fane in Vivec City.
|!||B8_Failed_Nerevarine
|1|fin|I have killed one of the leaders of the Ashlander tribes. Now there is no possibility that I could be accepted by the Ashlander tribes as the Nerevarine of prophecy.

== behavior of the "guards" ==

Without the quest active I was able to kill the "guards" in plain sight of one another without them becoming aggressive. Just said things like, "stop, don't do that" etc. [[Special:Contributions/67.189.182.125|67.189.182.125]] 00:12, 24 September 2012 (GMT)

== Please NOTE ==

As mentioned in the bugs, if you have cleared this area then get a radiant quest pointing here the chests will reset. This appears to be an obvious conflict between the radiant scripting and the somewhat odd behavior scripted to this area and Telrav's little game.
:: If you use the console command TCL you will discover the tower and some of the surrounding landscape has another landscape underneath it. It seems the area was very poorly designed, possibly by two developers that weren't communicating with each other. One can only assume the scripting is also faulty.

Sniffles: /* A slight discrepancy */

==(Hunter)==
(Hunter) doesn't seem like the best word to use to distinguish this quest from the Vampire path. (Dawnguard) would be a much better name in my opinion, despite some possible redundancy due to the DLC's title. —[[User:Legoless|Legoless]] 14:53, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
:Agreed, Hunter may be in the ID, but it is a Dawnguard faction quest. [[User:The Silencer|The Silencer speaks]][[User talk:The Silencer|Talk]] 15:00, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

:The stages are taken directly from game data. It is the game that has the many stages; we merely copy them. This also aids in times when people must advance to a certain stage via [[SR:console|console]] due to occasional glitches that make it difficult to advance in quests—this is only possible on PC, but it will certainly be useful when Dawnguard is out for PC.

== Dexion Bug ==

When I showed up, Dexion was outside the magic barrier fighting the vampires. (Took me a minute to realize that he was supposed to be ''inside'' it, hence the "deactivate the magic barrier" step in the quest log.) I sent him on his way to Fort Dawnguard, then went to deactivate the barrier, which caused him to register as hostile and turned into an endless loop of me kicking his ass, because the conversation option was no longer available. Had to reload and do the quest sequence in the proper order. [[User:SonGoharotto|SonGoharotto]] 18:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Since Dexion becomes hostile basically after rescuing him, it's probable that something going not-quite-right in terms of order of events is what's causing the bug.

==Hostile Dexion Bug==
im having problems with this too, but ever since i downloaded the content i was having trouble with the game, i am level 50, completed main campaign and was so excited when i discovered there was a DLC for the game, as soon as i downloaded it and started playing it, i started ecountering that when i joined the dawnguards, it was starting to go strange after the first mission where you have to go get the female vampire with the elder scroll, i collected her and reached the vmpires home declined his request of making me a vampire because i want to remain a werewolf. When i had to collect the people that we needed for help, everything was fine but when i had to rechieve the moth priest that was when the real major problems started to roll in, i reached him, released him and he started to attack me, im not sure if he was ment to or not but after i staggered him and knocked him to the floor while he recovered his health, i told him where to go and all the details, when i came back to dawnguard he was there and was atacking me yet again but where i am a part of their team they all helped me, when it came to the part where i needed him to read the elder scroll he would, he would continue to attack me and not read it, after a while i got fed up and used unrelenting force on him which made him read the scroll, while on the floor. after that i still couldn't get him to give me the details to where i have to rechieve the other two elder scrolls. so i gave up and went to talk to the new recruits and the one of them told me to rechieve some other man that could help, so i went there rechieved him and guess what, he attacked me over and over like the last person. as i left the crypt and returned to dawnguard everyone started to attack me! and it has messed up my long hours on the game and i don't really like the idea of starting again because that would be all my hard work down the drain, any suggestions. Xbox player {{uns2|18:34, 14 August 2012|2.25.179.101}}

:If ANY NPC you need starts to attack after a battle reload a previous save immediately, you obviously have lots because everyone knows you should have due to certain bugs like this. Its likely you attacked or hit him accidentally and this carried on although having not had the same issue i can't be sure.

== Cave location bugged ==

I showed up where the attack scene should have been but nothing was there (no vampire body). I forced the quest stage forward to the point where I need to go to the cave but no quest arrow points me in the direction. I've searched all over where the location of the cave should be and I've found nothing--there's not even a cave location appearing on my compass. What do I do?

== Two Scrolls? ==

Serana happened to walk by while the priest was reading the scroll, and I noticed she still had it on her back. Is this worth noting as a bug?[[User:Vegetablevandal|Ivan the Vandal]] ([[User talk:Vegetablevandal|talk]]) 17:29, 19 October 2012 (GMT)

== Dexion dialogue bug ==

When releasing Dexion from the forcefield, he says two lines of dialogue. Or rather, he's supposed to, but for me, his second line of dialogue "But my master is dead, and his enemies will pay!" plays immediately after he starts the first, cutting it off before he can utter a single syllable of "I serve my master's will." -Trogdor {{uns2|4:38, 3 January 2013|99.141.27.127}}

== Dragonbridge ==
After fast travelling to dragonbridge and speaking to everyone in the town they all seem to state the same thing. Either they know nothing or i should speak to a guard, yet the guards have no dialogue options at all just give an automatic response when interacted with. Tried daytime and night, i assume i must be missing one but certainly a pain. I am at the correct stage according to the quest although i had no stage with solitude, just mages tower and then direct to dawnbridge. [[User:Killerchronic|Killerchronic]] ([[User talk:Killerchronic|talk]]) 00:58, 26 April 2013 (GMT)

== Dexion unresponsive ==

When I and Serana got back to Fort Dawnguard, I spoke to Isran and was told the priest would be ready any time that I said. But when I spoke to Dexion, he had no option to read the scroll, only to chat about its background. Asking Serana did not produce anything useful; asking Isran again got me directed to the crossbow project. Something seems to be off the rails here.

Skyrim:Destruction

2014-03-12T10:57:16Z

Sniffles: /* Notes */

{{Skills Summary
|Image=SR-skill-Destruction.png
|Special=Magic
|ExTrail=[[Skyrim:Magic Overview|Magic]]
}}
'''Destruction''' magic provides many means of inflicting damage on enemies. [[Skyrim:Destruction Spells|Destruction spells]] use elements (fire, frost, or shock) to damage [[Skyrim:Health|health]]; an enemy's [[Skyrim:Magicka|magicka]] and [[Skyrim:Stamina|stamina]] can also be reduced. Increasing this skill reduces magicka cost when casting Destruction spells. Historical information about the School of Destruction is provided in the [[Lore:Destruction|lore article]]. The Destruction skill tree has a total of 14 perks, requiring a total of 17 perk points to fill.

In-game Description: ''The School of Destruction involves {{sic|the|description=phrase, with extra word 'the'}} harnessing the energies of fire, frost and shock. This skill makes it easier to cast spells like Fireball, Ice Spike, and Lightning Bolt.''

==Summary==
Destruction is the principal damage-dealing school of magic. Destruction mages can use perks to specialize in one or more of the elements—fire, frost, and shock—gaining the ability to do extra damage. Since some enemies are resistant to particular forms of magic, anyone relying on Destruction is well-advised to learn spells from more than one element, and perhaps to specialize in two or more.

=== Elements ===
==== Fire ====
* Lowest magicka cost of the three elements.
* Deals only health damage.
* Sets targets on fire, usually dealing an additional 10% damage over 1 second, but some spells do more.
* Special perk: [[#Intense Flames|Intense Flames]]. Causes enemies below 20% health to run away.

Many inhabitants of Skyrim are weak against [[Skyrim:Fire Damage|fire damage]], including [[Skyrim:Troll|troll]]s and all [[Skyrim:Creatures|creatures]] with "Frost", "Ice", or "Snow" in their name. In some dungeons there are [[Skyrim:Oil Slicks|pools of flammable liquid]] which you can ignite with fire magic, resulting in impressive conflagrations that can wipe out enemies in seconds. The ''Intense Flames'' perk is of limited use, firstly because humanoid enemies will drop down to their knees when their health is below 10%, and secondly because enemies that do not drop down will run away, forcing you to kill them some other way.

In addition, by casting the [[Skyrim:Flames|Flames]] spell repeatedly in short bursts, you can apply the "on-fire" effect several times, which will dramatically increase your damage output. If you take the [[Skyrim:Aspect of Terror|Aspect of Terror]] perk from the [[Skyrim:Illusion|Illusion]] skill tree, it will make this trick even more devastating and potentially viable even at high levels despite being a Novice-level spell. It should also be noted that even without ''Aspect of Terror'', Flames is the second-most magicka-efficient spell in the game (after [[Skyrim:Firebolt|Firebolt]]), and ''Aspect of Terror'' will make it an uncontested first place. This trick also works well when combined with the [[Skyrim:Slow Time|Slow Time]] [[Skyrim:Dragon Shouts|shout]].

==== Frost ====
* Middle magicka cost of the three elements.
* Deals damage to health and stamina (typically the same amount).
* [[Skyrim:Slow|Slows]] targets by 50% for a few seconds (duration varies).
* Special perk: [[#Deep Freeze|Deep Freeze]]. Causes enemies below 20% health to be [[Skyrim:Paralyze (effect)|paralyzed]].

Unfortunately, many enemies boast a resistance to Frost damage, and [[Skyrim:Nord|Nords]]—the most common NPCs in Skyrim—resist it as well. [[Skyrim:Vampire|Vampires]] have a bonus 50% and Nord vampires are completely immune, as are all [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]] automatons. The ''Deep Freeze'' perk is useful, but almost exactly the same effect can be achieved with dual-casting and [[#Impact|Impact]]. The Adept-level area effect missile spell, [[Skyrim:Ice Storm|Ice Storm]], is distinct from its counterparts in the other two elements in that it covers an area of effect as the projectile itself travels, instead of just projecting its effect area upon impact. Large swaths can be attacked by rapid-fire tandem casting of Ice Storm.

Usage of any frost attacks against [[Skyrim:Bandit|bandits]] or other primarily melee-based foes shows the utility of the stamina-damage and slow effects, as it can impair their ability to power attack or shield bash, as well as allow you to stay out of their melee range. However, Ice Storm's primary weakness is that unlike Fireball and Chain Lightning, it has a limited range (though still three times as far as your typical concentration spell) and is also quite slow, making it more difficult to target fast opponents in open areas.

==== Shock ====
* Highest magicka cost of the three elements.
* Deals damage to health and magicka (magicka damage is typically 50% of the health damage).
* Generally shorter range, but projectiles hit instantly.
* Special perk: [[#Disintegrate|Disintegrate]]. Instantly kills enemies below 15% health.

In practice, enemy mages tend to have more magicka than health, which combined with the fact that you deal more health damage than magicka damage might make the magicka damage meaningless. However, skilled mages with the proper magicka reserves will win in a mage-vs-mage duel of attrition. The magicka damage is also effective against [[Skyrim:Dragon|dragons]] who are unable to shout once their magicka pool is depleted. Shock spells have three chief advantages: firstly, there are few enemies that are resistant to shock damage, and in the base game, only [[Skyrim:Storm Atronach|storm atronach]]s and [[Skyrim:Orchendor|Orchendor]] have 100% shock resistance, making it equally useful against practically all enemies and allowing you to save perks by specializing in just one element (Dawnguard and Dragonborn add a couple of unique creatures with shock resistance, along with [[Dragonborn:Netch|netch]], [[Dragonborn:Seeker|seeker]]s and [[Dragonborn:Shock Spider|shock spider]]s). Secondly, unlike fire and frost, all shock spells hit instantly wherever you're aiming them, making it easier to hit moving targets, though at a reduced range compared to fire and frost spells. Finally, shock gets a specialization perk, ''Disintegrate'', which effectively reduces hit points of all enemies in the game by 15% (though it may cause some looting problems as of patch 1.3, so be careful). This perk is particularly useful when dealing with [[Skyrim:Necromancer|necromancers]], or anything else capable of raising the dead, since it ensures that the disintegrated target cannot be reanimated. At the same time, if you wish to reanimate enemies, you should either avoid this perk or avoid using shock damage on enemies you want to revive.

=== Spell Types ===
Within each elemental family, the pattern of spells is consistent:

===Magical Effects===
The following individual effects are all considered to be part of the school of Destruction (see the individual effect pages for full details on availability; the [[Skyrim:Magical Effects#Destruction|Magical Effects]] article also provides a summary):
* [[Image:SR-icon-spell-Fire.png|24px|Fire Damage]] [[Skyrim:Fire Damage|Fire Damage]]
* [[Image:SR-icon-spell-Ice.png|24px|Frost Damage]] [[Skyrim:Frost Damage|Frost Damage]]

* [[File:DB-icon-spell-Whirlwind.png|24px|Whirlwind Cloak]] [[Dragonborn:Whirlwind Cloak|Whirlwind Cloak]] {{DB}}

== Skill Usage==
Be aware that increasing your Destruction skill level decreases the casting cost, but does not increase the spell damage. To keep using Destruction magic effectively against tougher opponents, you will need to either learn stronger spells, pick the damage increasing perks, or both.

Shock spells reach their target nearly instantaneously, much faster than the other elements, so you do not have to lead as much when targeting moving opponents.

Rune spells can only be placed close to the caster, and the continuous-damage Novice-level spells [[Skyrim:Flames|Flames]], [[Skyrim:Sparks|Sparks]], and [[Skyrim:Frostbite|Frostbite]] have a very limited range. However, the range of Rune spells can be improved with the [[#Rune Master|Rune Master]] perk.

It is best to use Rune spells in close quarters or tight entrances, and is especially useful for those that mix stealth and magic. They are also useful for triggering [[Skyrim:Draugr|draugr]] that are hidden in crypts. What's more, if you have the ''Rune Master'' perk, runes can be used as an instantaneous mid-range attack.

Use the various cloak spells when battling multiple enemies, as any nearby opponent that you are not focusing on will still take damage. Be aware, however, that cloak spells will not level your Destruction skill.

When facing a difficult opponent with high health, such as a [[Skyrim:Dragon_Priest|dragon priest]], it is often helpful to make use of the dual-casting ''Impact'' perk. This effectively allows you to stagger-lock the opponent, preventing them from retaliating. Larger opponents like dragons and [[Skyrim:Dwarven Centurion|Dwarven Centurions]] can only be staggered if you have the ''Augmented'' perk that corresponds to your spell (for example, ''Augmented Fire'' for [[Skyrim:Firebolt|Firebolt]]).

Note that the ''Dual Casting'' perk is magicka inefficient, as it means only 10% damage increase for 40% higher magicka cost. Unless you have a lot of magicka or a lot of casting-cost-reducing gear, it is more efficient to cast two normal spells with both hands (you can still cast two single-cast spells after acquiring the perk by activating one hand then the other in rapid succession, rather than activating both hands simultaneously for the dual-cast version). However, dual casting has two advantages that, situation depending, may outweigh the additional cost: the DPS of dual casting is higher, and the ''Impact'' perk provides a guaranteed stagger, depending on the spell. The stagger effect has no effect if the target is already staggering, thus a good balance between efficient damage and shutdown of the target is to alternate a dual-cast with two quick double casts. ''Impact'' does not work with constant 'stream' spells (Flames, Frostbite), Novice-level spells, the Wall-type Expert spells, or Master-level spells.

Note that any spells that require preparation time to be cast stop your magicka from regenerating for the duration of the charge up until the spell is cast. This means that both preparing and holding spells, and casting spells in rapid succession reduce the amount of time available for magicka regeneration, and make sustained casting difficult. In order to maximize natural magicka regeneration while in combat, it's best to minimize any time spent "waiting" to cast a fully-charged spell.

==Skill Increases==
===Character Creation===
The following [[Skyrim:Races|races]] have an initial skill bonus to Destruction:
* +10 bonus: [[Skyrim:Dunmer|Dunmer]]
* +5 bonus: [[Skyrim:Altmer|Altmer]], [[Skyrim:Imperial|Imperial]], [[Skyrim:Redguard|Redguard]]

===[[Skyrim:Trainers|Trainers]]===
* [[Skyrim:Wuunferth the Unliving|Wuunferth the Unliving]] in [[Skyrim:Windhelm|Windhelm]] (Common)
* [[Skyrim:Sybille Stentor|Sybille Stentor]] in [[Skyrim:Solitude|Solitude]] (Expert)
* [[Skyrim:Faralda|Faralda]] in the [[Skyrim:College of Winterhold (place)|College of Winterhold]] (Master)

===[[Skyrim:Skill Books|Skill Books]]===
* ''[[Skyrim:The Art of War Magic|The Art of War Magic]]''
* ''[[Skyrim:Horror of Castle Xyr|Horror of Castle Xyr]]''
* ''[[Skyrim:A Hypothetical Treachery|A Hypothetical Treachery]]''
* ''[[Skyrim:Mystery of Talara, v3|Mystery of Talara, v3]]''
* ''[[Skyrim:Response to Bero's Speech|Response to Bero's Speech]]''

===[[Skyrim:Free_Skill_Boosts|Free Skill Boosts]]===
* +1 Destruction reward (and other magic skills) from [[Skyrim:Pantea_Ateia|Pantea Ateia]] ([[Skyrim:Bards_College|Bards College]]) for completing the quest [[Skyrim:Pantea's_Flute|Pantea's Flute]].
* +5 Destruction (+5 every magic skill) by selecting "The Path of Magic" when reading the [[Skyrim:Oghma Infinium|Oghma Infinium]] after completing the quest [[Skyrim:Discerning_the_Transmundane|Discerning the Transmundane]].

===Gaining Skill XP===
* The XP gain for Destruction skill is dependent on the base magicka cost of the spell and the damage inflicted on a target. Thus, increasing the difficulty level will slow down skill development, as your damage output will be lower. Lowering the difficulty below Adept (gaining bonus damage) will not increase the XP gains. Dual Casting does not increase XP gain.
* To level this skill, you must cast a spell on a valid target. This can be exploited by casting the spells on essential targets that will not turn hostile. Some of these targets include [[Skyrim:Shadowmere|Shadowmere]], [[Skyrim:Hadvar|Hadvar]] or [[Skyrim:Ralof|Ralof]] during [[Skyrim:Unbound|Unbound]], the [[Dragonborn:Riekling Chief|Riekling Chief]] during [[Dragonborn:The Chief of Thirsk Hall|The Chief of Thirsk Hall]]{{DB}}, [[Skyrim:Esbern|Esbern]] before [[Skyrim:A_Cornered_Rat|A Cornered Rat]], [[Skyrim:Paarthurnax_(dragon)|Paarthurnax]] before starting [[Skyrim:Paarthurnax (quest)|his quest]], [[Skyrim:M'aiq_the_Liar|M'aiq the Liar]], conjured creatures, and [[Skyrim:Torture_Victim|torture victim]]s.
** Note that the target in question must actually sustain damage for it to count. For this reason, casting spells on invincible targets such as [[Skyrim:Child|Children]] and [[Skyrim:Brynjolf|Brynjolf]] will not level your skill.
* [[Skyrim:Regenerate Magicka|Regenerate Magicka]] effects help reduce downtimes while training.
* It is possible to reduce or even completely eliminate the magicka cost of spells by stacking [[Skyrim:Fortify Destruction|Fortify Destruction]] enchanting effects. The [[Dragonborn:Secret of Arcana|Secret of Arcana]]{{DB}} power does the same thing, but only for 30 seconds.
* Casting Blizzard will increase Destruction Skill even if there is no opponent. Since the spell does a small amount of damage to you, this appears to count as a valid opponent. Although you can only obtain Blizzard at skill level 100, if you subsequently make your Destruction skill [[Skyrim:Skills#Legendary_Skills|legendary]], you can then use Blizzard to level it.

==Notes==
*Projectile spells shoot at 1 spell per second (2 if dual cast), much faster than even the fastest bow with quick draw perk.
*When you bash an opponent with your torch, it will count towards the Destruction skill: the fire damage from the torch is registered as magical fire damage like that of a spell, similar to how [[Skyrim:Dragon_Shouts|dragon shouts]] can be blocked by [[Skyrim:Ward|Ward]] spells, because they are considered magical attacks.
* [[#Destruction Dual Casting|Destruction Dual Casting]] enables you to cast a 220% strength version of the spell at 280% of normal cost when simultaneously casting the same spell from both hands.
*Rune spells can be used to draw [[Skyrim:Draugr|draugr]] out of their sarcophagi. Even "at rest," they will set off nearby runes and take damage from them. This is useful in barrows with large numbers of draugr, as it allows you to take them on one at a time. Furthermore, since [[Skyrim:Wall_of_Flames|Wall of Flames]] does not wake enclosed draugr, it can be applied around or in front of a sarcophagus before awakening the draugr within, resulting in nearly instant kills as they emerge. [[Skyrim:J'zargo's Flame Cloak Scroll|J'zargo's Flame Cloak Scrolls]] will also draw out draugr as the Rune Spell.
*[[Skyrim:Ice_Storm|Ice Storm]] can travel through walls or other obstructions.
*With a high enough level of Destruction, passing guards may say, ''"Destruction magic's fine; just don't go burning down any buildings"''.
*Fireball and Chain Lightning will only stagger the target they hit directly, not others that are within the area of effect. The exception is Ice Storm.

==Quick Walkthrough==
#Obtain the [[Skyrim:J'zargo's Flame Cloak Scroll|scrolls]] from [[Skyrim:J'zargo|J'zargo]].
#Use the scrolls to kill at least three undead enemies.
#Return to J'zargo with your results.

==Detailed Walkthrough==
Talk to [[Skyrim:J'zargo|J'zargo]] after [[Skyrim:Under Saarthal|Under Saarthal]]. He will request your assistance testing a new kind of [[Skyrim:J'zargo's Flame Cloak Scroll|scroll]] he developed. Simply use them near undead enemies; you should have no trouble finding them in any barrow, ruin, or tomb; these include [[Skyrim:Bleak Falls Barrow (place)|Bleak Falls Barrow]], [[Skyrim:Saarthal|Saarthal]], Whiterun's [[Skyrim:Hall_of_the_Dead_(Whiterun)|Hall of the Dead]] and [[Skyrim:Folgunthur|Folgunthur]], among many others. Undead may also be encountered in [[Skyrim:The_Midden|The Midden]], allowing convenient completion of this quest without travel if the quest is accepted before venturing down there.

The scrolls will surround you with a modified [[Skyrim:Flame_Cloak|flame cloak]], which will damage any enemy in close proximity to you. J'zargo's cloak causes a massive explosion whenever it comes into contact with undead. Clearly, this makes the scrolls as harmful to yourself and your allies as to the undead. Damage seems to be around 100-110 health, so players with low reserves or who are already injured might be killed instantly. Also be wary of using this spell when dealing with multiple undead enemies, as multiple explosions can quickly kill even the hardiest of characters.

Another of J'zargo's oversights is that the cloak burns friendlies, too. Ask your [[Skyrim:Followers|follower]] to stay behind when you test the scrolls, otherwise they will become hostile to you or simply walk away—in the latter case, talking to him or her can restore your normal relationship.

Make sure you use the scrolls to kill only [[Skyrim:Undead|undead]] enemies. A quest marker will appear with each undead killed while under the effects of J'zargo's Flame Cloak. Undead do not need to be killed by the scrolls' damage; dying of other weapon or spell damage while under the effects of the scroll will satisfy the quest conditions. However, undead that are killed indirectly by the explosions of other undead do not count. If you use up all ten scrolls without killing three undead enemies, the quest will fail.

Return to J'zargo after you have killed three undead (see [[Skyrim:J'zargo's Experiment#Bugs|bugs]]) to report the unfortunate side-effect. He will name you friend and be available as a [[Skyrim:Followers|follower]].

==Notes==
* The scrolls also work on [[Skyrim:Undead|undead]] that you have [[Skyrim:Reanimate|reanimated]] yourself.
* The scroll must actually damage the undead for the quest to register the kill, activating the scroll from a distance and killing the enemy by other means won't work.
* Activating a scroll near a Draugr sarcophagi will trigger the Draugr to come out. By sprinting past an undead or a Draugr in it's sarcophagi it is possible, if difficult and somewhat random, to kill the enemy with the explosion while avoiding damage to yourself.

==Bugs==
{{Bug|If more than exactly three undead are killed by the scrolls' effects, which is very possible you are near more than one at a time, e.g. fighting two undead with the counter already at two, then stage 30 will not occur; J'zargo won't have the dialogue option and the quest will be unfinishable.|USKP|1.0}}

Skyrim talk:Soul Trap (effect)

2014-03-12T10:11:09Z

Sniffles: /* Mages Flee when Soul Trapped - Please confirm? */

== Summoned Creatures Resistant to Soul Trap ==
Apparently summoned creatures are resistant to soul trapping effects, removing this bug/exploit/feature from previous games in this series. Unknown whether this can be changed using the Creation Kit. [[User:Jimhsu|Jimhsu]] 22:48, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

== List of creatures ==
I was wondering if someone could post a list of creatures and they're respective soul size either here or on the "soul gem" page. It would help a lot to know what to hunt. [[Special:Contributions/85.167.185.111|85.167.185.111]] 19:45, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

:I wrote what was above. I found "souls" page, which does exactly that, so there is no need. [[User:ZeNinjaHawk|ZeNinjaHawk]] 19:48, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

== Fiery Soul Trap ==

It's probably worth a mention that the Steel Battleaxe of Fiery Souls actually has the Fiery Soul Trap enchantment on it, dealing damage and applying the Soul Trap effect to the target. --[[User:Fluff|Fluff]] 23:18, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
:It's a distinct effect, so it should probably get its own page, but yes: right now the article says that disenchanting it gives you "Normal" Soul Trap, which is incorrect. [[User:Aliana|Aliana]] 22:49, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

I was wondering if a weapon with both Soul Trap and Fiery Soul Trap would capture two souls from an enemy or only one. --[[User:Rasimpson|Rasimpson]] 03:53, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

== Will a soul trap enchantment work on a one-shot kill? ==

Haven't seen this clarified anywhere. Thanks!

:Yes, if a weapon has the Soul Trap enchantment, then when it hits the enemy, the soul trap spell gets cast on them, and they die in "zero seconds". The smallest amount of time a soul trap enchantment can have is that the enemy must die within one second of casting. Since zero seconds is less than one second, the soul trap succeeds.
:--[[User:Nicklink483|Nicklink483]] 16:13, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

::This is a very useful technique, as a weapon enchanted with soul trap that has a 1 second duration will have a very large number of uses, allowing for example a greatsword to have 400+ soul trap casts on a single charge. I have one Ancient Nord Greatsword that has 700+ uses for a 1 second soul trap enchantment, and It works great for farming souls. Because of the Soul Siphon perk I never have to recharge it. You do need to be careful that you don't kill too many low level enemies and fill grand soul gems with lesser souls.

:::would that technique be worth noting on the page? [[User:Qwertyone|Qwertyone]] 01:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

::::It would definitely be worth mentioning. I actually came here only to find out whether soul siphon and soul trap can work in conjuntion, or if soul trap would take the entire soul, leaving nothing for siphon :)

== Black Soul Gem / The Black Star ==

Can someone confirm that these gems only capture black souls? With which version/[[Skyrim:Patch|patch]] was the former behavior (these 2 gems can trap any soul, see Revision as of 08:18, 19 December 2011 [http://www.uesp.net/w/index.php?title=Skyrim:Soul_Trap&oldid=823471]) removed? If its true, there are other pages which should be updated: [[Skyrim:The Black Star]] and [[Skyrim:Azura's_Star#Miscellaneous_Items]]. --[[User:Psychomc|Psychomc]] 21:40, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

:To confirm, as of December 24, game version 1.3.10.0 on PC, the Black Star can capture Petty and Common souls. {{Unsigned|76.88.45.56|02:51, 26 December 2011}}

== Image ==

Does anyone beleve that the current image for Soul Trap should be changed to the Skyrim Conjuration image? My last edit was undone because "a generic conjuration image is not a more accurate replacement on a page for a specific effect". Skyrim effects are animations are portraid by animations and cannot be used. But oblivion images are out of date; and I beleve that the generic conjuration image is more fitting. Does anyone agree?--[[User:Cole1|Cole1]] 23:25, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

:There is already some discussion at [[Template_talk:Effect_Summary]]. --[[User:Alfwyn|Alfwyn]] 23:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

== Follower Glitch: Filling Multiple Soul Gems with a Single Kill ==

There seems to be a bug that causes followers to capture multiple souls on a single kill. I gave Stenvar a Mace of Souls and a dozen petty gems, and after he killed a wolf, I checked his inventory and found that all the gems were filled. [[Special:Contributions/75.47.100.83|75.47.100.83]] 07:35, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

: I have seen this behavior myself multiple times, but I was not able to reproduce this behavior consistently. I do not know what triggers this to happen. I have read other accounts of this happening elsewhere on internet as well. --[[User:Abacus707|Abacus707]] 23:44, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

::I just thought I'd try out a soul trapping follower and this happened, but after moving a few of the filled gems between me and my follower's inventory I noticed something odd. Something about the souls doesn't "stick". From a stack of 25 apparently filled lesser soul gems, if I took a single one out it would lose the soul and become an empty lesser gem. After taking out the whole stack, I started giving gems back to the follower one by one, and they would also empty after the switch. I started giving the follower small stacks as well (traded at least 2, up to 10), and the same thing happens. However, I traded the final gem by itself over the their inventory and this one kept the lesser soul. Tried on another stack of filled petty gems, if any number of filled gems are traded they will keep their strange filled tag, but it seems when you reduce the stack to a single gem by any means the excess will become empty leaving one filled gem. Unfortunatly, when I thought to test if you could use a stack of these gems to recharge weapons it didn't seem to trigger again. Playing on Xbox, the follower was Iona with a custom enchanted soul trap war axe. [[Special:Contributions/86.145.53.223|86.145.53.223]] 13:37, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

:::I seem to get this problem consistently when having a follower (in this case, Vilkas) equipped with a bow with a soul trap enchantment on it (in this case, a glass bow with soul trap/shock damage). To avoid them reverting to their own default hunting bow, remove all arrows from their inventory. As long as they carry the enchanted bow but no arrows they should use the enchanted bow instead of their default, and with an apparently infinite supply of arrows (don't ask me which kind). PS3/1.6 --[[User:Anbalsilfer|Anbalsilfer]] 13:37, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

:::: Correction, on closer investigation I found that the problem seems to be unrelated to the type of weapon. Rather, the glitch seems to affect individual stacks of soul gems. I am not yet sure what triggers the glitch, causing a stack of soul gems to be treated like a single gem when placed in a follower's inventory, but I *have* found out how to fix it: simply remove the stack from the follower's inventory, drop it on the ground and pick it up again to empty the gems if they are apparently filled, then give back the empty soul gems to the follower one-at-a-time. They will stack automatically in the follower's inventory and after this, the gems should fill properly. --[[User:Anbalsilfer|Anbalsilfer]] 12:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

== Killcam Glitch ==

Executing a cinematic kill using a Soul Trap enchanted weapon may cause the victim's corpse to float in place wherever it was when the soul-capturing animation started. (Happened to this editor on PS3; haven't yet had a second cinematic kill to confirm or deny this as a consistent bug) {{uns|66.109.179.3|07:30, 23 February 2012}}

:I don't know as to the first glitch specified, but the one involving the cinematic kills and soul trap I've experienced, but a bit differently. Multiple times I used a soul trap enchanted bow to finish several enemies in the cinematic fashion, and their bodies had physics applied normally, but their weapons were always frozen where they had been before the enemy was killed (experienced on the Xbox 360 version).

== LORE ==

do we know the in game lore of how this works? is the soul destroyed upon enchanting, do we just steal its life force and send it on its way ect? what about azura's star? does that send the soul to her or just wherever it would have gone ect? if all magic items are made this way does that mean my sword has a soul and possibly some rudimentery sentience or is it just stuck in a battery?

just wondering if any books in past games answer anything like that for rp reaspns

______

nevermind, daggerfall gives me my answer. its the soul and its stuck there until the weapon breaks.

As for Daggerfall: firstly, enchanting was done with or without soulgems; all the soul added was a higher capacity for enchantment and a few added traits (good or bad) depending on the creature. However, if that item ever broke, then the trapped creature breaks free and, being rightfully pissed off, tries to kill you. I seem to remember game literature or perhaps the manual hinting that the released is the ghost/spirit/whatever of the creature; but as far as the game goes, they weren't any different from their fully corporeal selves. {{Uns2|17:53, 7 July 2012|24.38.235.96}}

== Soul Trap Interacts with Dawnbreaker? ==

I equipped the Soul Trap spell in my left hand and [[Skyrim:Dawnbreaker|Dawnbreaker]] in my right, intending to do a bit of soul farming. To my surprise, every time I cast Soul Trap on a draugr and then kill it with Dawnbreaker, it triggers the "explosion" effect, disabling or disintegrating every other draugr in the room. Something about the way Soul Trap is coded seems to be forcing the chance for the explosion effect from Dawnbreaker up to 100%.

:For clarity im going to put this here even if you have worked it out for yourself. Remember skyrim is just the latest instalment for the elder scrolls series, in a world with this much lore its almost impossible it has not been answered, its a case of going to the lore sections and looking there rather than assuming it should be on the current game page...the lore for this game covers huge timezones but they are for the most part 99.9% accurate across all, its something they have strived for between games as this is a "world" rather than just a one game instalment. Just because you played skyrim and got the question does not mean the answer has to be designated to skyrim as this spell has been in the game for quite some time (as you found out). I admit the above person im replying to is probably long gone and was a one off comment but this is here to serve as a note to others who may come across. We have a Lore section on the wiki that covers data from Elder Scrolls as a general source and not just one game, use it. - [[User:Killerchronic|Killerchronic]] ([[User talk:Killerchronic|talk]]) 02:01, 16 May 2013 (GMT)

== Dawnguard issue with Fiery Soul Trap ==

Since Fiery Soul Trap redirects to this article, I'm going to put this here. I had the Fiery Soul Trap enchantment, used it to enchant two swords, then installed Dawnguard. I lost access to the Fiery Soul Trap enchantment after the DLC install when I went to enchant two new swords with it. Since I had already disenchanted the one weapon that has the original enchantment prior to installing Dawnguard, I had to use console commands to recover the enchantment. Has anyone else experienced this? [[Special:Contributions/24.156.216.144|24.156.216.144]] 20:00, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

== enchant id firey soul trap ==

since apparently soul trap and fiery soul trap are on the same page it would probably be a good idea to include stats and enchant id for fiery soul trap as well as whats already there. that and I've looked everywhere i either Don't find the enchant id for fiery soul trap or just find the id for soul trap. {{uns2|16:35, 28 August 2012|50.105.23.0}}
:The {{CSList|search=0x00040003|Fiery Soul Trap record}} uses the two effects {{CSList|search=0x0005b452|Soul Trap}} (a different version than the regular Soul Trap) and {{CSList|search=0x0004605a|Fire Damage}}. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but hopefully it helps. [[User:Alphabetface|ABCface]][[User_talk:Alphabetface|◥]] 16:49, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

== Improved Fiery Soul Trap ==

Is it worth noting that the 10 points of Fire Damage attached to Fiery Soul Trap can actually be raised with the appropriate perks? I currently have Fire Enchanter and both ranks of Augmented Flames, and my Fiery Soul Trap does 22 points of Fire Damage. (Unfortunately, I didn't think to check at the time whether either or both of these perks are what contributes to the improvement.)

== Soul Trap Effect on surroundings. floor, walls, doors etc. ==

I have a Bow dual enchanted with Soul Trap and Fire, now if I misfire and hit a door, nine times out of ten the door glows blue. I just started running around in Kagrumez when one of my arrows hit the floor and now the entire room except the ceiling is purple. It's not game breaking in any way just annoying, I thought it'd be worth mentioning. Not sure if re-loading fixes this, I think exiting the cell and re-entering does as it first happened 40 hours ago in Halted Stream Camp and I've been there since. If it makes much of a difference, it first happened with both Dawnguard and Hearthfire installed and it seems to be more frequent now that Dragonborn is installed. Not sure why its happening, the spell itself doesn't do this and neither do melee weapons with the Soul Trap Effect. Has anyone else experienced this? [[User:Tuaire|Tuaire]] ([[User talk:Tuaire|talk]]) 16:31, 9 December 2012 (GMT)

:I hit a chair in Breezehome once and the effect has never gone away, even after savegame conversion of PS3 to PC. {{uns2|16:56, 16 March 2013‎| 71.145.132.234}}

::I've accidentally shot a Tanning Rack and a Large Sack at Lakeview Manor with a Soul Trap-enchanted Crossbow. They glow, they hiss, and no console command I've found will stop this other than MarkForDelete. Using MarkForDelete will dispel the soul trap when you use it and leave the container until it reloads, but there's no way to un-MarkForDelete.[[User:Victortyne|Victortyne]] ([[User talk:Victortyne|talk]]) 03:05, 4 October 2013 (GMT)

== Soul Trap + Fiery Soul Trap ==

Using the extra effect perk from Enchanting, would a weapon with both enchantments result in filling 2 soul gems? Either way it should be noted. I'll see about testing it out tomorrow (it's 10 PM here). [[User:Mikeyboy52|Mikeyboy52]] ([[User talk:Mikeyboy52|talk]]) 13:52, 25 January 2013 (GMT)

== Soul trapping ore veins? ==

I just discovered that if I shoot an ore vein with my bow enchanted with soul trap it will glow and make the noise like it's soul trapped. The enchantment it supposed to soul trap for 2 seconds and it doesn't look like it's stopping. I'm not sure whether to add this to the Notes or maybe make a Bugs section...?
[[User:Valus|Valus]] ([[User talk:Valus|talk]]) 04:22, 31 January 2013 (GMT)
:Does it fill a soul gem? If not then its a glitch in sounds which is no point adding anywhere. Also you need to test multiple veins and types and with different, bows/arrows or even spell. To add something to either of those sections on the main page it must not be a 1 off glitch, it must be repeatable and with accurate instructions on how to do so. So in short no, you did right by not adding it. However you seem to have left it at that so someone else will have to go test, you never stated what ore, where, bow, arrow, all of which matter, it could be a glitch with a combo of only those things you used and never repeatable by anything other than that. Basically useless info unless you come back and fill us in. - [[User:Killerchronic|Killerchronic]] ([[User talk:Killerchronic|talk]]) 02:05, 16 May 2013 (GMT)

== Mages Flee when Soul Trapped - Please confirm? ==

Found this under the TV Tropes: Skyrim article (Section: "Artificial Brilliance:")

''"Most enemies will not give two skeever droppings if you cast Soul Trap on them - except mages. Cast Soul Trap on them, and they'll completely break off any attacks and run the hell away, because they know what you just hit them with and they don't want to be used as fuel for your next enchantment."''

Is this true? Or is this just the usual TV Tropes bullocks? --[[Special:Contributions/68.112.184.87|68.112.184.87]] 01:23, 18 June 2013 (GMT)

:I've seen enemies flee after having soul trap cast on them. I'd have to do some testing to see if it's peculiar to mages, I'll try hitting some undamaged mages with it sometime and see if the effect is different from regular bandits.
:You'd also have to test it on warlocks, necromancers, forsworn shamans, and bandit hedge wizards separately. --[[User:Morrolan|Morrolan]] ([[User talk:Morrolan|talk]]) 14:44, 4 October 2013 (GMT)
::It happens entirely randomly with all humans and on rare occasion, monsters. I've noticed the effect hundreds of times but have never found a common denominator. In order of probability of it happening, various low HP characters flee first. Spell casters and weak bandits. Then it works on up the HP ladder. All humans, including soldiers, Thalmor, Vigilants of Stendarr, Dremora, Falmer, Foresworn, vampires and werewolves. When it happens, all will panic and run as the Fear effect, eventually stopping, hunkering down and cringing. Flame Atronachs occasionally take off across the landscape, stopping eventually at random, turning non hostile. Another oddity that I've noticed only with Hagraven is they will occasionally suddenly stop in their tracks, allowing your character to walk right up to them. If anyone sees some commonality in these, or knows of some script going on behind the scenes, I'd very much appreciate their posting it. (Addendum: Use bows exclusively, tested over many RL months. Bow presently used, Dragonbone, total damage about 320, fired about 7,000 dwarven arrows. Soul Trap effect duration, 2 seconds. -With Enchanting skill 100 and an enchanting potion quaffed, I've never had to recharge the bow. I have no idea the number of Soul Traps it has. After fights the misses commonly leave bits of the scenery soul trapped which usually remains until either, leaving and reentering the cell or the cell resetting.)

{{Incomplete}}
The '''console''' is a powerful in-game tool only available to PC players. From the console it is possible, while playing the game, to enter commands that will alter most aspects of gameplay, and it is also possible to obtain detailed information about NPCs, creatures, and other items in the game.

== General Information ==
The console can be accessed in-game by toggling the 'tilde key' (the actual key can be ~, º, ¬, |,^, \, §, ², etc.. depending on your keyboard layout), found near the "1" and "Esc" keys on most keyboards. The console prompt will appear in the lower left-hand corner of your screen. You can scroll the console output using the "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys. The console is not case sensitive: entering any of <code>tai</code> or <code>TAI<code> or <code>TaI</code> will toggle AI.

Many commands are ''targeted'': this means that you may use <code>player.''command''</code> to affect the player character; for example, type <code>player.setav carryweight 1000</code> will set the Player's Carry Weight at 1000. Or, you may want to target the NPC/actor, by first type <code>prid <RefID></code>, Enter. Then, type the ''command'' by itself, <code>setav carryweight 1000</code>, to affect the NPC, specified by ''RefID'' (Note: including the zeroes at the beginning of the RefID when targeting NPCs may produce a "command not found" error. That can be evaded though by placing the RefID in quotes, e.g. <code>"000A2C94".setav carryweight 1000</code> will set Lydia's Carry Weight at 1000).

You may also target an NPC or object in the console by clicking on them, and then run <code>''command''</code> to affect the NPC or object. When an NPC or object is targeted in this way, their hex code (RefID) will be displayed at the top of the console. For example, to unlock a door, open the console, click on the door so it is the active object in the console (its RefID is shown at the top of the screen), then type <code>unlock</code>. When multiple objects overlap, use the mouse wheel to scroll through different RefIDs until the correct one is selected. When playing on multiple monitors, the cursor will display in the secondary monitor but clicking it will select the object in the same area of the primary monitor.

Commands which are abbreviated (for example: <code>tai<code>) can also be run by using their full name; thus, <code>toggleai</code> is synonymous with <code>tai</code>, and <code>getactorvalue<code> is synonymous with <code>getav</code>. In most cases, the long command is an obvious progression from the abbreviation. Also, most <code>set''Something''</code> commands have a counterpart <code>get''Something''</code>, even if the counterpart isn't shown here.

Some commands require a [[Skyrim:form ID|form ID]]. Most articles on objects provide the id or ids for those items. In addition the help command can be used to locate ids. <code>Help "elven sword" 0</code> would provide a list of all game objects with 'elven sword' in the title. This can be used for items, spells <code>Help firebolt 0</code>, or perks <code> Help juggernaut 0 </code> .

{{Warning|If you don't know what you're doing, using console commands can cause your game to malfunction! Executing the wrong command can cause your game to stop working normally; furthermore, you may not become aware of such malfunctions right away, and you may not be able to trace their cause. They can cause problems like making quests impossible to complete, altering your game's display, all kinds of game behaviors, your ability to play your character, and your ability to play the game at all. Solutions are not always easy, and may involve losing saved games or reinstalling your game.

Create a permanent saved game before using the console. (This mitigates only some kinds of risks.) If you need to use the console to fix a glitch, try to use the least powerful command possible.

Your best bet for help if your game is crashing or not operating properly due to a console issue is on the [http://forums.bethsoft.com/forum/179-skyrim-hardware-and-software-issues-subforums/ producer's official forums]. You may see if someone in the wiki's [[UESPWiki:IRC|irc chatroom]] has a suggestion. You may not get any kind of answer right away, or a solution at all. You might also try asking a question on this article's [[Skyrim_talk:Console|talk page]] with the same idea: you may or may not receive a timely reply to your question or problem, and you may not receive a solution at all.}}

== Accessing the Console with Non-English Keyboards ==
If you are using a non-US keyboard, the tilde (~)/grave accent (`) key might not work, or there may be no tilde key.

Often, the key used is the key below Esc and above Tab (↹), where the tilde/grave key is on a US keyboard:

* On a Danish, Swedish or Finnish keyboard, the console is accessed by pressing the ½ key, the key just below Esc.

* On a Swiss (French) keyboard, the console is accessed by pressing the § key, the key just below Esc.
** Use the ² key (below Esc) and not § on French keyboard.

* On a German keyboard, the console is accessed by pressing the ^ key just below Esc. As this hat-character is usually used together with a normal letter to create letters as ê or ô the first letter you enter into the console will be usually a Blank Square or not even appear. Therefore have an eye on what is displayed in the console and delete when necessary.
* On a Hungarian keyboard, the console is accessed by pressing the 0 key. If you want to type "0" you must type the one from your numpad. Otherwise, the console will shut.

Another possible solution is to install [http://www.autohotkey.com/ AutoHotKey] and set up a shortcut to send the tilde key code the game is expecting. Add the following lines to your AutoHotKey script and it will map F12 to grave accent (`) and Shift+F12 to tilde (~). (The grave accent (`) key is the same physical key as tilde on US English keyboards.){{Pre|<nowiki>; Map grave accent/tilde key (`/~)
F12::SendEvent {vkC0sc029}
+F12::SendEvent +{vkC0sc029}

; On some systems you may need to use the less optimal mapping
F12::~</nowiki>}}

==Commands==
<big>'''How to Read the Command Table'''</big>

When a command requires arguments (e.g., <code>[[#additem|additem]] <Item ID> <qty></code>), the brackets <> indicate that <ID> should be replaced with the appropriate ID, and <qty> with the appropriate quantity. The brackets ''are not'' part of the syntax. So <code>additem <ID> <qty></code> becomes <code>additem 0002299c 1</code>.

Furthermore, all REFIDs, faction, weather etc can be entered without the leading zeros, eg:
<code>[[#additem|additem]] 2299c 1</code> has the same effect as above.

Note: the <code>tm</code> command will toggle off ALL menus, including the console menu itself! To avoid confusion:
# Press ~.
# Type 'tm' and press ENTER.
# At this point, your console is still open but you cannot see it! Press ~ again to close it.

{{/Entry|tmm <nn>(,<nn>,<nn>)|Show/hide all map markers|<nn> should be 1 to show all markers, or 0 to hide all markers. Hiding markers hides ''ALL'' markers - including the city markers that are automatically visible at the beginning of the game. When adding markers, the 2nd parameter determines if the ones you add are set as discovered (1, default) or not (0), and the 3rd is all (1) or all but hidden (0,default) (e.g., to add all undiscovered markers without fast travel, enter <code>tmm 1,0,0</code>).}}

====Targeted Commands====
| These commands require a target reference. Select one with the mouse in the console, use the <code>[[#prid|prid]]</code> command, prefix the command with <code>player</code> to target the player character or prefix the command with a RefID to target something else.
{{/Entry|addfac|Short for addtofaction.|}}
{{/Entry|additem <item ID> <count> <flag (optional)>|Give a character the specified amount of an item|E.g., <code>player.additem 000669A5 5</code> will add five leeks to your player's inventory. The effects of <flag> are unknown, but it probably refers to ownership and stolen status. Changes to an NPC's inventory will usually appear immediately if you're pickpocketing them when you open the console. It is possible to remove items with this command by using negative numbers.(Item ids: [[Skyrim:Items]])}}
{{/Entry|addperk <perk ID>|Give a character the selected perk|For perk ID codes, see the page for the perk's corresponding skill, indexed at [[Skyrim:Skills|Skills]]. To find the perk ID code in-game, try <code>help <perkname> 0</code>.}}

E.g., <code>player.addperk 000c44c0</code> would give your player the perk "Adept Destruction".
{{/Entry|addspell <spell ID>|Add a specific spell to a character's available arsenal.|Works with powers, abilities, blessings, and diseases, but not shouts. For a spell's ID code, see the page for its corresponding magic school, indexed at [[Skyrim:Spells|Spells]]. For other applicable IDs, see: [[Skyrim:Powers|Powers and Abilities]], [[Skyrim:Blessings|Blessings]], or [[Skyrim:Disease|Diseases]]. This command does not work with dragon shouts; to add those, see the <code>teachword</code> command.}}

Here are some examples (note how adding certain magic effects can have unanticipated consequences):
* <code>player.addspell 00092c48</code> will add the "Beast Form" power to the player's spell book, essentially turning you into a werewolf.
* <code>player.addspell 000b8780</code> will add the "Sanguinare Vampiris" disease, turning your character into a vampire over the course of 3 ingame days. (Diseases will only be added after a random number is checked. The chance to contract "Sanguinare Vampiris" is 10% i.e. 1 out of 10.)
* <code>player.addspell 000d2056</code> will add the "Ghost Ability" effect, essentially turning your character into a ghost. (If you remove this spell again, you will need to reset the actor's opacity with <code>setactoralpha</code> command.)

Adding certain permanent abilities this way (e.g., [[Skyrim:Ancient Knowledge|Ancient Knowledge]]) will merely add their name to the list of active effects, but will not actually give the expected benefits. That requires changing the appropriate [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]] separately.
{{/Entry|addtofaction <faction ID> <faction rank>|Add a character to a faction.|Valid numbers for the faction rank vary, but 0 will always add the actor with the lowest possible faction rank and -1 will remove the actor from the faction.}}

{{/Entry|advlevel|Advance a character's level by one.|<code>advlevel</code> Adds one level to your character's current level. You are not given the option to increase an attribute, are not awarded any perk points, nor, obviously, will any of your skills improve. This command may therefore seem of limited value; however, remember that enemies get tougher as your level increases - so if you're a Tamriel veteran and have already cranked the difficulty to "Master" but still crave more of a challenge, using <code>advlevel</code> to add ~10 levels to your character (that's ten levels without skill increases, attribute gains, or new perks!) should certainly make the enemies more difficult.(though remember that the loot will also be leveled)}}
{{/Entry|AdvSkill <skill> <nn>|Advance the specified skill. | AdvSkill registers the increase and will count toward your next levelup. The full list of values recognized by AdvSkill is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]. The number represents the experience level to add to the skill (e.g., <code>player.advskill destruction 1</code> will only add 1 experience toward the next skill increase, it will not advance Destruction 1 skill level). Some skills require far more experience points than other skills, crafting skills level quickly with few points, but armor skills require much higher numbers. See the <code>incPCS</code> command for an alternative means of leveling skills, which in comparison does not use the relative-value experience points; however, <code>incPCS</code> can only increase a skill by one level per use.}}
{{/Entry|completequest <quest ID> |Complete the quest instantly. | Be careful when using this command. Often, it merely makes the quest in the Journal become a completed quest. However, the related actors or NPCs to the quest may not recognize that you have completed a quest/task in order to give you a following quest/task. Quest IDs can be found in [[Skyrim:Quests|Quests]].}}
{{/Entry|DamageActorValue <attribute> <nn>|Damage value of attribute by <nn> amount | Example: <code>player.damageactorvalue health 50</code> causes you to lose 50 health as if you just took damage. It will still recover the same way it normally does. Attributes can become negative. Can be restored with <code>restoreactorvalue</code>. This is a better option than <code>modAV</code> for temporary debuffing, since it can be restored to its original value easier. Stacks with 'modAV' effects. Skills/attributes damaged with <code>damageactorvalue<code> will still appear white, but will correctly restore to what they really are. Can be used to kill NPCs. Also see <code>RestoreActorValue</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|disable|Don't render the selected object (includes actors.)|The object will be made invisible, collision will also be turned off and AI won't process on the object, but scripting on the object will run (unlike Oblivion, where it would instantly crash to desktop, the player can't be disabled). Also see <code>enable</code>}}
{{/Entry|dispelallspells|Dispel all temporary spell effects on target|Example: <code>player.dispelallspells</code> dispels any magic effect on the player including buffs/debuffs (not attributes/skills changed with the console), potions/poisons, DoT effects, and activated powers (except beast form and other morphs).}}
{{/Entry|drop|Force drop items from a character's inventory|You may select a character and use the command <code>Drop <base ID> <amount></code> to drop any items in their inventory by force, including normally undroppable quest items. You may need to use <code>Showinventory</code> to get a detailed list of items and get the correct IDs you need.}}
{{/Entry|duplicateallitems <container/NPC refID>|Duplicate all items in the targeted container and places them in the given container. | Example: Selecting an NPC with the mouse then entering <code>duplicateallitems 89c79</code> will copy all items in the NPC's inventory and place the duplicates into the container with refID 89c79. You can get the container/NPC's refID by clicking on them and committing the ID to memory before selecting the container/NPC which has the items you want to copy. You can also type in the refID of the container/NPC with the items to be copied before the command with a period in between instead of selecting anything with the mouse. For example, entering <code>a2c94.duplicateallitems 89c79</code> will copy all items from Lydia's inventory (whose refID is a2c94) and place the duplicates into the container with the refID 89c79. Also see <code>removeallitems</code>}}
{{/Entry|enable|Render the selected object (includes actors.)|Undoes ''disable'', making the object and its collision and AI appear in the world again. Also see <code>disable</code>}}
{{/Entry|equipitem <Item ID>|Equip selected NPC with Item | With selected NPCs you can use equipitem ItemID for use. The opposite command is unequipitem, and works with the same syntax. Also see <code>unequipitem</code>}}
{{/Entry|forceAV <attribute> <nn>|Force to modify the value of attribute | ForceAV modifies the attribute value by registering a ''permanent modifier'' (positive or negative) of the amount required to force the attribute to the stated value. Displayed player attributes modified in this way will be highlighted (default is green text) to indicate a modifier ('buff' or 'debuff') is being applied. Also see <code>modAV</code> and <code>setAV</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|getAVinfo <attribute>|Get value information of target| This will print a short list of information about the given attribute (a.k.a. actor value) of the specified target. You can select a target with the mouse, or enter the refID of the target followed by a period before the command. For example, <code>player.getavinfo lightarmor</code> will return information about the player's Light Armor skill, such as the base value (what it was just after character creation), any current temporary or permanent modifiers, etc. For a list of all the actor values that can be used, see [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]].}}
{{/Entry|getlevel <target>|Get level of target | Gets the level of the targeted character or creature.}}
{{/Entry|GetLocationCleared <locationid>|Check an area's clear code. | 0 = not cleared, 1 = cleared. You must use the {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=LCTN|location id}}, not the name; for example, <code>GetLocationCleared 00018EE2</code> will check Swindler's Den. Also see <code>SetLocationCleared</code>.}}
{{/Entry|getrelationshiprank <target>|Get the relationship rank of two actors. | Should range from -3 to +4. See <code>setrelationshiprank</code>.}}
{{/Entry|getstage <quest ID>|Show the current active quest stage.|Shows the current stage that the quest is at based on the game's internal stage numbering.}}
{{/Entry|hasperk <perk ID>|Check if the selected actor has a perk with the selected ID|For perk ID codes, see the page for the perk's corresponding skill, indexed at [[Skyrim:Skills|Skills]]. To find the perk ID code in-game, try <code>help <perkname> 0</code>.}}

E.g., <code>hasperk 3af84</code> would return <code>Perk Rank >> 1</code> if the selected actor has taken the first level of the Two-handed Skull Crusher perk.
{{/Entry|incPCS <skill name>|Increase the given skill to the next level. | For example, entering <code>incpcs lightarmor</code> will increase the player's light armor skill to the next level. No integer or variable may be used after the command - it can only be used to increase a skill one level at a time. Using this command will lead to a normal increase in the player's level with attribute selection and a perk point, unlike the <code>advlevel</code> command. As an alternative to <code>incPCS</code>, see the <code>advskill</code> command. By comparison, <code>advskill</code> uses a more complex leveling system but can be used to advance a skill by any number of levels at once.}}
{{/Entry|kill <Actor ID (optional)>|Kill the selected actor (NOT the optional Actor ID).|Open the console, click on the actor you want to die, type <code>kill</code> and press Enter. Entering an optional Actor ID will treat that actor as the person who killed the target{{vn|plain}}, which can cause other NPCs to attack the actor as they would a murderer. Specifying the Player as the Actor ID will assign blame to the player, counting the kill as a murder if the target was non-hostile and possibly incurring a bounty if other NPCs witness the death.}}

Some actors (primarily NPCs, not creatures) can be flagged as "essential" by the game and thus will not die. In this case, the character will instead crouch and stumble around for a while; however, this stumbling can usually be ended early by using the <code>resurrect</code> command on him/her.
{{/Entry|lock <level>|Lock targeted object (i.e. door, container) with a difficulty of <level>. | Values of <level> will display in the tooltip for the locked object as follows: 0 - 25: Apprentice, 26 - 50: Adept, 51 - 75: Expert, 76 - 100: Master, 101+: Requires Key.}}
{{/Entry|MarkForDelete|Delete an object.|Deletes the targeted object the next time the area (cell) it resides in is reloaded. Useful for removing specific unwanted furniture/decoration from homes. Be careful as there's no way to restore deleted objects. Objects marked for delete will show <nowiki>[D]</nowiki> next to their ref ID if you re-target (re-click) them. Can be used to remove Ash Piles and Ghost Remains, which otherwise never get removed from the world.}}
{{/Entry|modAV <attribute> <nn>|Modify value of attribute by <nn> amount | ModAV modifies the attribute value by registering a ''permanent modifier'' (positive or negative) of the value stated. Displayed player attributes modified in this way will be highlighted (default is green text) to indicate a modifier ('buff' or 'debuff') is being applied. Also see <code>forceAV</code> and <code>setAV</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|moveto <actor ID>|Move a character to specified actor and vice versa. | Example 1 - move Player to an object or NPC: <code>player.moveto 0002BFA2</code>. Using this code will instantly teleport you to Hadvar's position. You must use RefID}}
Example 2 - move an object or NPC to the Player: type <code>prid 000A2C94</code>, Enter. Then, type <code>moveto player</code>, Enter. Using this code will instantly put Lydia next to you. This code is especially useful for a follower/NPC who's just disappeared after a quest due to a bug in game; e.g. Lydia is disappeared after The Break of Dawn quest. You can also select an object and type <code>moveto player</code> which will move the selected object to your feet and orient it based on the camera's angle. Also see <code>placeatme</code>
{{/Entry|movetoqt <quest ID>|Move to quest target | Example: <code>movetoqt da01</code>. Using this code will instantly teleport you to the target (i.e., the marker on the map) of the quest. It does not advance the quest in and of itself, but may bring you into a situation which might immediately do so. It takes you to the ultimate current target of the quest in its respective cell - so it doesn't just take you to the next doorway you need to go through. It doesn't skip over to the final stage of the quest, either - you are delivered to the target of the current stage of the quest. Use caution, as you will be placed right on top of or as close to the current marker as possible, which may position you in the middle of a group of enemies, or on top of a trapdoor, etc. See the main index of [[Skyrim:Quests|Quests]] for the quest ID codes.}}
{{/Entry|openactorcontainer 1|Open a character's inventory.|Opens selected NPC's inventory to allow the player to add/remove items as if it were any other container.}}
{{/Entry|paycrimegold <0-1> <0-1> <faction ID>|Pay the bounty.|Pay the bounty for the faction targeted NPC belongs to (the bounty gold will be removed from your inventory). The first 0-1 choice refers to being sent to jail: entering 1 will let you be teleported to the respective faction's jail, entering 0 won't. The second 0-1 choice refers to keeping your stolen items: entering 0 means you do not lose your stolen items, entering 1 means you do. If you don't add any choice you will be sent to jail without losing your stolen items. The faction ID is needed if you can't target an NPC. May also help in case guards attack you on sight.}} Faction ID's are given below:

{{/Entry|placeatme <actor/object ID>|Spawn specified actor or object at current position. | Example: <code>player.placeatme 000fea9b</code>. Using this code will instantly summon an instance of an object or NPC at your position. The above example summons a dragon. Not recommended for named NPCs. This code uses the Object (base) ID and not specific reference ID as it is creating a new instance of that object/actor in the world; using it with named NPCs can result in duplicates unless the original was somehow removed. Also see <code>moveto</code> which can summon named NPCs by refID using the following commands: <code>prid RefID</code> & <code>moveto player</code>}}
{{/Entry|playidle <idle ID>|Play an animation (idle) on the specified actor. | Example: <code>playidle IdleOffsetArmsCrossedStart</code>. See the {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=IDLE|list of idles}}.}}
{{/Entry|pushactoraway <actor ID> <number>|Push an actor away in a random direction. | Example: <code>pushactoraway 14 1337</code>. Will push or launch your character in a random direction. If you enter negative amount, example: <code>pushactoraway 0001A6B8 -200</code>, will pull the selected actor to your character position.}}
{{/Entry|recycleactor <destination reference (optional)>|Revive/Reset targeted NPC or object.|Can be used to reset an NPCs reference/revive dead NPCs. If you've already looted a corpse, they may come back headless (especially Nords). Their inventory isn't reset, except for their weapon. Enemies will prioritize other NPCs of opposing factions (like Stormcloak vs Imperial), and ignore the player until the opposing NPCs are dead. The optional Destination Reference is untested, probably refers to coordinates or a cell id.
* When used on containers, it acts like <code>resetinventory</code>.
* When used on objects, it will reset them to their original positions and states. It can be convenient if you mess something up and want to restore the order.
* When used on the player, their inventory is not replaced, but the following items are added:}}

{{/Entry|removeallitems <actor or container ID>|Remove all items from a character's inventory.|E.g., <code>player.removeallitems</code> will remove all items from your character's inventory or "removeallitems <click on character> for remove all items of particular character. Optionally, after the command, enter the reference ID of an actor or container to transfer all the items in question into the referred actor/container. Also see <code>duplicateallitems</code>}}
{{/Entry|removeitem <item ID> <count>|Remove the specified amount of an item from a character's inventory. | E.g., <code>player.removeitem 000669A5 5</code> will remove five leeks from your player's inventory. Changes to an NPC's inventory will usually appear immediately if you're pickpocketing them when you open the console.}}
{{/Entry|removeperk <perk ID>|Remove the specified perk from a character's skills. | For perk ID codes, see the page for the perk's corresponding skill, indexed at [[Skyrim:Skills|Skills]]. }}

Important note: To remove perks from an established tree, you will need to backtrack through the entire tree. Meaning, start from the top and work your way down. In perks with ranks, you will need to remove rank 5/5, then 4/5, etc. Also, using removeperk will only remove the perk. It will not refund the perk points.

E.g., <code>player.removeperk 000babe8</code> will remove Barbarian rank 1/5.
{{/Entry|removespell <spell ID>|Removes a specific spell from a character's spell book. Also works with powers, abilities, blessings, and diseases, but not shouts | For a spell's ID code, see the page for its corresponding magic school, indexed at [[Skyrim:Spells|Spells]]. For other applicable IDs, see: [[Skyrim:Powers|Powers and Abilities]], [[Skyrim:Blessings|Blessings]], or [[Skyrim:Disease|Diseases]].}}

E.g., <code>player.removespell 00092c48</code> will remove the "Beast Form" power from the player's spell book.
{{/Entry|resetAI|Reset an NPC's AI.|Can be used to calm down a non-enemy NPC if you attack them. In battle, the enemy is forced to sheath their weapon, then pull it out again and reacquire their target.}}
{{/Entry|resethealth|Restore a character to full health.|Example: <code>player.resethealth</code> Restores your health to 100%}}
{{/Entry|resetinventory|Reset a container or a character's inventory.|Resets a character's inventory to its default. Example: If you use <code>removeallitems</code> on an NPC and enter <code>resetinventory</code> everything will respawn and re-equip to its defaults. Can be used to pickpocket the same item multiple times. Works on dead NPCs and containers/chests, so you can loot the same corpse/container multiple times. Containers are slightly randomized, so items may vary depending on the containers loot settings.}}
{{/Entry|RestoreActorValue <attribute> <nn>|Restore the value of attribute by <nn> amount | Restores a damaged skill or attribute up to its normal value. Example: lose 50 health and enter <code>player.restoreactorvalue health 100</code> and you recover 50 health since it can't restore more than its normal value. Doesn't fix attributes/skills damaged by <code>modAV</code> or <code>forceAV</code> or <code>setAV</code> Also see <code>DamageActorValue</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|resurrect <1>|Resurrect target actor|Unless you use this command the instant the NPC is killed, the game will still register the target as "Dead" and they will subsequently not be mentioned in dialogue and sometimes specifically referred to as "Dead" during a quest. Adding a tag of "1" at the end (i.e., <code>resurrect 1</code>) will make the target get up instead of vanishing and reappearing, thus allowing them to keep their equipment. If an NPC's corpse has vanished already, you will also need to [[#enable|enable]] the NPC. Using this on the player character will not dismiss the "Load last save?" screen, and the camera will behave as if you were still lying dead on the ground. However, if you use the resurrect command before the loading message appears, the player will revive, but the camera will be centered on the feet rather than the head. Note that accidentally using this command on yourself while you're still alive can also have unexpected consequences, among them losing the ability to dual-cast spells (which will be fixed on reload), and losing any blessing effects (but not the blessing itself - which can be complicated in the case of Standing Stones. The game will not let you restore that Standing Stone power unless you first visit another Standing Stone and come back.) NPCs who are dead at the beginning of the game (such as [[SR:Mage|Mage]]) cannot be resurrected via this command. Also see <code>kill</code>.}}
{{/Entry|setactoralpha <0-100>|Change the selected actor's alpha/opacity. | Useful for repairing unwanted graphic glitches after adding and removing certain permanent spell effects. E.g., <code>player.setactoralpha 100</code> will reset unwanted invisibility effects and make your character visible again.}}
{{/Entry|setAV <attribute> <nn>|Set value of attribute | SetAV sets the ''level value'' of the attribute to the stated value. Example: You can <code>player.setav block 100</code> to set your Block to 100 and take advantage of having a high level Block without receiving any levels (and therefore any perks). The same works for dropping the skill level. You can also do it for Health, Stamina, or Magicka etc. And you can target it for an NPC by using <code>prid <RefID></code> of an NPC first; then just type <code>setav health 500</code> to give the specified NPC 500 Health. Also see <code>forceAV</code> and <code>modAV</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|setessential <base ID> <1/0>|Set a character as immortal (1) or mortal (0). | This command can be used to make any NPC unkillable. When a character set as essential takes nearly fatal damage, they collapse onto their hands and knees (Also known as Bleedout) and stumble around for a period of time, instead of dying. Note that ''the base ID and not the ref ID must be used''. The ref ID is what appears when clicking on an object with the console open. To find an NPC's base ID, however, you can either a) browse to their respective page (see: [[Skyrim:People|People]] and/or [[Skyrim:NPCs|NPCs]]) or b) use the <code>help</code> function in-game to search for them by name, recording whatever value matches their name under the "NPC_" category of result. Once you have the base ID, enter the command using either 1 to set him/her immortal or 0 to set him/her mortal. For example, <code>setessential a2c8e 1</code> would set Lydia as immortal.}}
* Be careful when making an Essential NPC mortal, if they die you will likely be unable to access the associated quest or story. However, a simple save reload will fix if you haven't save over all the files where the character is still alive(and either non-essential or essential)
* Related functions: To check whether an NPC is essential to begin with, select him/her in the console (so that the ''ref ID'' appears), and enter <code>IsEssential</code> - if the console returns "1.00", the NPC is essential.
* It is also possible to set the player them self as essential with the base ID of 00000007, However upon entering the 'bleedout' stage, the player will sometimes not get back up (usually upon the first time in a new area or after having recently set yourself as essential), however, simply entering your inventory and drinking a health potion will fix this immediately (any health potion used during bleedout will return you to full health). Usually, your character will drop down to their hands and knees, and then immediately get back up with full health.
{{/Entry|setgs <setting> <value>|Set game setting.|Doesn't seem to be preserved in saves; must be reset each time the game loads. Example: <code>setgs fJumpHeightMin <height></code> sets the jump height for the player.}}
{{/Entry|setlevel A B C D |Set NPC level|Just like other target commands, type <code>prid <RefID></code> of an actor/NPC first. If you prefer to click on the npc while in the command console, make sure the ID you see is of the targeted npc and not an object.}}
If you input <code>setlevel 1000 0 1 100</code> that npc will be equal level you are and will level with you up to level 100 and will start at level 1 if you're level 1.

{{/Entry|setnpcweight <0-100> (snpcw)|Set the weight of the selected NPC and updates the model to reflect the new weight. | Despite its name, this also works on the player's model. e.g. <code>player.setnpcweight 0</code> changes the player's appearance to be as if the "Weight" slider were all the way left. 100 would be all the way to the right.}} Saving and re-loading a game after it's been used on an NPC may result in neck seams, as NPC head meshes are pre-modeled and not procedurally generated to the new weight value.
{{/Entry|setownership|Sets the player as the owner of the targeted item.|Use this to remove the "stolen" tag from any items. Simply drop the item on the ground, open the console, click on the item, and enter the command. It can be difficult to select certain items. If the displayed ID code does not begin with "ff", you have not selected an item, but rather an object in the world (ground texture, light, container, etc.). Can also be used to remove the "owned" attribute of beds and gain the ownership of a stolen horse.}}
{{/Entry|setrace <race>|Change a character's race.|Doing this will allow you to change the race of an actor. If <code>player.setrace</code> is used, you can change your own race without using showracemenu. Upon using this code, the character's hand will be bound like in the beginning of the game, but this can be undone by drawing a weapon. This will not mess up attributes/skills. Creatures are available as races as well (e.g., <code>player.setrace dragonrace</code>), but most creatures will have a buggy camera position in third person. You can get most race codes with the <code>help race 0</code> command. Use PageUp and PageDown to scroll to the races at the top of the list. Unlike most other commands, the race needs to be specified in plain text and not the race's BaseID (i.e. <code>player.setrace nordrace</code>). See <code>setplayerrace</code> for additional details.}}

You can find the quest's ID code, as well as the various stages of the quests and their corresponding stage numbers, on the respective quest page. To start, see the main index of [[Skyrim:Quests|Quests]].}}

{{/Entry|setunconscious <integer>|A value of 1 will be unconscious | Example: <code>setunconscious 1</code> makes an NPC or the player stand in place as if it's in a trance or their AI is disabled. You can do what ever you want to them and they won't react. They remain that way until you use <code>setunconscious 0</code>. They will act like nothing happened, so if you steal from them and wake them back up it will be as if they didn't see anything. They can also wake up if you get their health to a critical level, and will either fight back or run away. The effect is equivalent to the player using wait and coming out of it early due to an attack.}}
{{/Entry|showinventory|Display the base IDs of every item in a character's inventory.|These IDs can be used in the console to modify a character's or the player's inventory. E.g., with five Leeks in a person's inventory, <code>player.showinventory</code> will display "5 - Leek (000669A5)", and you can use <code>player.additem 000669A5 5</code> to obtain five more leeks.}}
{{/Entry|shp <parameter #1-parameter #9>|Set HDR parameters | The 9 HDR parameters are in floating point. Each one affects something different. The effects stay until you load a save or switch areas. Example: <code>shp 1.00 0 0.50 0.01 9.00 .1 .99 100 1.0000</code>}}
{{/Entry|sifh <#>|Set whether an actor should ignore friendly hits.|E.g., <code>sifh 1</code> will make the selected actor ignore friendly hits.}}
{{/Entry|sqs <quest ID>|Display stages of a quest | Lists all stages of that quest and shows if a stage is achieved.}}
{{/Entry|str <0-1.000000>|Set the refraction value of the selected target. | E.g., <code>str 1.000000</code> will set refraction to its maximum value, <code>str 0.000001</code> will make the target completely invisible, <code>str 0.000000</code> turns off refraction reverting the target to its normal appearance. <code>str 0.000000</code> will completely mess up a character's eyes and eyelashes. Can be used on any targetable object from NPC/player to pieces of the architecture.}}
{{/Entry|teachword <word>|Teach a dragon shout. | Teaches a specific dragon shout by code. Each level of a word has a specific code. Use the <code>help</code> command to find the shout's code, or see [[Skyrim:Dragon_Shouts|Dragon Shouts]].}}
{{/Entry|unequipitem <Item ID>|Unequip item from selected NPC | With selected NPC you can use unequipitem ItemID for use. The opposite command is equipitem, and works with the same syntax. No error or other horrible fate seems to await you if you unequip an item the NPC doesn't have. Also see <code>equipitem</code>}}
{{/Entry|unlock|Unlock the targeted object.|Unlocks the targeted door, container, etc., including "Requires Key"-level locked objects.}}
{{/Entry|unlockword <word>|Unlock a dragon shout. | Unlocks a specific dragon shout by code. Each level of a word has a specific code. Use the <code>help</code> command to find the shout's code, or see [[Skyrim:Dragon_Shouts|Dragon Shouts]].}}

====Untargeted Commands====
| These commands do not require a target reference.
{{/Entry|bat|Execute a batch file|Executes a .txt file with console commands in it, handy for certain otherwise tedious actions.}}
{{/Entry|caqs|Complete all quest stages|Finishes ''every'' quest in the game, not just the ones you've started, essentially completing the game. Not recommended for general use. May crash your game. '''Note''': This will unlock several quest related Steam achievements if they have not been unlocked yet. See also: <code>saq</code>}}
{{/Entry|coc <nowiki><cellname></nowiki>|Transport to <cellname> | Transports to the center of a named cell (coc stands for '''c'''enter '''o'''n '''c'''ell.); i.e., if you want to go to Riverwood write <code>coc Riverwood<code> in the console. <code>coc qasmoke<code> will transport to the Skyrim testing hall (for QA testing; inaccessible otherwise.) '''Note''': Opening the enchanted armor and weapons cabinets may crash Skyrim.<--(note opening any weapons or armor chest at the testing hall doesn't crash the game, it just takes a moment to load all the wonderful stuff you're about to get)}}
You can get most location codes with the <code>help location 0</code> command. I.e. <code>help breezehome 0</code> will tell you that the correct code is <code>WhiterunBreezehome</code> or that Sovngarde can be reached with <code>Sovngarde01</code>.
{{/Entry|cow <nowiki><worldspace> <cell x, cell y></nowiki>|Transports to cell <cell x, cell y> in <worldspace> | Transports to the center of cell [cell x, cell y] in world space. (cow stands for '''c'''enter '''o'''n '''w'''orld.) The outdoor worldspace of Skyrim is ''Tamriel'' so to transport to the center of cell 5,7 in Tamriel you would put <code>cow tamriel 5,7</code> in the console. (Whiterun 4,-4 Dawnstar 8,25 Solitude -15,25 Markarth -42,0 Morthal -10,15 Falkreath -7,-21 Winterhold 27,24 Windhelm 33,7 Riften 42,-23 High Hrothgar 10,-10 (These points will put you at the stables or right in front of each city but not inside. Having god mode acitve is highly recomended if you're going to experiment with this.))}}
{{/Entry|csb|Clear screen blood|Removes all blood from the screen. Useful when taking screenshots.}}
{{/Entry|fov <nowiki><angle></nowiki>|Set fov <angle> | Will change the Field of View to <angle>. Default is about 65 and using the command with no value will set the fov to 75. This change will reset if the game is restarted or if settings are changed by the Launcher. Values between 80 and 107 may be most suitable for wide screen PC users. 180 is the maximum, values higher will be accepted, but will still have the effects of 180.}}
{{/Entry|fw <nowiki><formid></nowiki>|Force Weather | Changes the current weather to the specified value ('''NOTE''': Using this command will NOT permanently change the weather). It is only temporary, and will reset after some moving around. Valid formids are:}}

{{/Entry|GetGlobalValue <Variable>|Returns the value of a single global game setting. | Example:<code>GetGlobalValue DragonsReturned</code> would tell you whether or not random dragon attacks will take place. See <code>ShowGlobalVars</code>.}}
{{/Entry|GetInCellParam <Cell ID> <Object ID>|Checks if an object is in a specified cell. | 3=Example:<code>GetInCellParam 5de24 14</code> would tell you whether or not the player is in helgen keep. getincell >> 0.00= not present, 1.00=present. Can be used to confirm if your character or an NPC is in a particular cell.}}
{{/Entry|GetPCMiscStat <Stat>|Returns the value of the (typically meaningless) stats shown in the ESC menu. | Shorthand is <code>GetPCMS</code>. Example: <code>GetPCMS "barters"</code> would tell you how many times you've gone shopping or <code>GetPCMS "days as a werewolf"</code> will tell you how many days you have been a werewolf. The quotation marks are required in the command to properly identify multiword stat IDs.}}
{{/Entry|help <nowiki><Text></nowiki>|Returns the IDs of all items, spells, game settings, etc. which have the entered text in their name. | This is a useful command to find the item ID of an object, which can then be used with other console commands.}}
E.g., <code>help "Daedric"</code> will list all items, etc. which have "Daedric" in their name. There is no need to put a "0" for the help command. Quotation marks are required for queries of more than one word (e.g., <code>help "ancient nord"</code>).
{{/Entry|killallactors|Kill all actors.|Kills all loaded (in currently rendered cells) non-essential actors (NPCs and creatures) immediately. Essential actors will be knocked down. The code <code>killall</code> can be used for identical effect.}}
{{/Entry|load <nowiki><name></nowiki>|Loads <name> gamesave.|Loads the corresponding save. E.g.: <code>load autosave1</code> will load last autosave. If the name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double-quotes, E.g.: <code>load "My Skyrim Save"</code>
Useful when stuck, or if showracemenu is opened. See also: <code>save</code>}}
{{/Entry|ModPCMiscStat <Stat> <nn>|Adjusts the value of the (typically meaningless) stats shown in the ESC menu by <nn> amount. | Shorthand is <code>ModPCMS</code>. Modifies the Player Character Miscellaneous Statistic value by registering a ''permanent modifier'' (positive or negative) of the value stated. Example: <code>ModPCMS "days as a werewolf" -100</code> will modify how many days you have been a werewolf by a negative 100. The quotation marks are required in the command to properly identify multiword stat IDs.}}
{{/Entry|pcb|Purge cell buffer|This will free up used memory, often times increasing fps after any given amount of time in game. Best used while in interior cells. However, since it purges cached cells, any cells you visited in the recent past will have to be reloaded completely when reentered.}}
{{/Entry|playercreatepotion <MGEF ID#1> <MGEF ID#2 (optional)> <MGEF ID#3 (optional)>|Creates a potion with up to 3 effects. | 3=Example: <code>playercreatepotion 6b10C</code> gives you a potion of improved nighteye for X seconds. Alchemy Skill determines effect magnitude(based on alchemy skill 1=1%/1Pt,) and duration(duration = Alchemy Skill +1 Sec). Some MGEF effects don't work with potions.}}

<code>damageactorvalue</code> and <code>modAV</code> will effect the magnitude of alchemy effects without messing with your level/skill progress.
{{/Entry|playerenchantobject <object ID> <MGEF ID> <MGEF ID (optional)>|Spawns an object with specified enchantments | 3=Example: <code>playerenchantobject 136D5 109637 109637</code> would give you imperial armor with two magic resist enchantments.

The Magnitude used for any magic effect is set to your enchanting skill, so 85 enchanting skill = 85% magnitude,85 damage/+85 health/magicka/stamina, 85+1 sec duration(weapons only).

Any effect with an MGEF ID can be added, including special effects normally restricted to NPCs and some perk effects. Perk MGEFs don't show up on equipment or passive effects, but still work. They also use enchanting skill instead of the perks usual value, and stack with the real perk.

Weapons made through the console will always have about 11.5 charges(regardless of enchanting level), and can be recharged. Some effects don't require charges unless grouped with an effect that does require charges. When used on weapons some MGEF are toggled on hit(first hit= on,second hit= off), like improved nighteye.

Enchanted weapons/equipment created with this command cannot be disenchanted, the game will tell you that you already have the effect.

<code>damageactorvalue</code> and <code>modAV</code> will effect the magnitude of enchantments without messing with your level/skill progress.}}

{{/Entry|prid <RefId>|Pick reference by ID | Select an existing copy of an object/creature/NPC using its reference FormID (the one associated with that particular placed object). All subsequent [[#Targeted Commands|targeted commands]] will use this object as the target. This is the same as clicking on the object in the console, but can be used even if the object is invisible or in a different area. Shorthand for <code>PickReferenceID</code>}}
{{/Entry|qqq|Fast quit.|Quits Skyrim to desktop immediately without further prompting. This sometimes results in crashing or mouse click problems. Mouse problems can be resolved by re-opening and closing Skyrim.}}
{{/Entry|resetinterior <cellid>|Reset an entire cell. | This command will reset an entire dungeon or location to default, including monsters, traps, chests and loot. E.g., ResetInterior Stillborncave01 or ResetInterior 00015206 would reset the dungeon Stillborn Cave to default; all monsters, traps, and loot would be respawned. If you reset a cell you have just been to, you'll need to use pcb command (purge cell buffer) as well, or the game will reload the buffered version of the cell, with all the modifications you've made to it. Both {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=CELL|editorID}} and {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=CELL|formID}} are acceptable in this command. Using this command in player homes appears to reset the furnishings without clearing the contents of initially empty containers (viz., the bedroom chest){{vn|plain}}}}
{{/Entry|resetquest <questid>|Reset a quest. | This command will reset a quest. This command will set all stages of the quest to 0.}}
{{/Entry|saq|Start all quests|Begins ''every'' quest in the game and adds them all to your journal. Not recommended for non-experimental use due to the large number of quests. May crash your game. '''Note''': This will unlock several quest related Steam achievements if they have not been unlocked yet. See also: <code>caqs</code>}}
{{/Entry|save <nowiki><name></nowiki>|Write <name> gamesave. | Save game to a named save <name>. If the name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double-quotes, i.e. <code>save "My Skyrim Save"</code> Note that this will overwrite an existing save of <name> without prompting.
Appending the parameter "1" will create a file <name>.ess.txt and open a texteditor upon it. This textfile contains a lot of dumped data and takes a while to write out (15 minutes observed) - the console and game is unresponsive during that. See also: <code>load</code>}}
{{/Entry|set <nowiki><globalvariable></nowiki> to <nowiki><value></nowiki>|Sets a global variable | Sets the value for a global variable. See <code>ShowGlobalVars</code>. }}
{{/Entry|setplayerrace <nowiki><ID></nowiki>|Set player race. | Doing this will allow you to change your race without using showracemenu. If ID is not provided race menu will appear.}}
You can get most race codes with the <code>help race 0</code> command. Use PageUp and PageDown to scroll to the races at the top of the list. Unlike most other commands, the race needs to be specified in plain text and not the race's BaseID (i.e. <code>setplayerrace nordrace</code>). Creatures are available as race as well, but most creatures will have a buggy camera position in 3rd person. <code>SetRace racename</code> can also be used. Upon using this code, the character's hand will be bound like in the beginning of the game, but this can be undone by drawing a weapon. Will mess up attributes/skills.
{{/Entry|set playeranimalcount to <qty>|sets number of animal followers | used to remove a lost pet from your party <code>set playeranimalcount to 0</code>
'''Note''': doesn't remove any actual follower, just reset the count to the selected number (1 or 0). If used with a animal follower next to you that isn't lost, you can recruit another one.}}
{{/Entry|set playerfollowercount to <qty>|sets number of followers | used to remove a lost follower from your party <code>set playerfollowercount to 0</code>
'''Note''': doesn't remove any actual follower, just reset the count to the selected number (1 or 0).}}
{{/Entry|set timescale to <qty>|sets the speed of how fast time advances in-game | 3=Default value is 20. Setting the value to 1 will make time advance at the same rate as the real world. Values down to 0 are possible, where less than 1 represents game time at a fraction of real time and 0 freezing the time of day completely.

'''Note''': NPCs are unable to cross cell boundaries when timescale is less than 1. Fast traveling while timescale = 0 may also prevent your game from loading properly.}}
{{/Entry|SexChange|Switches the player or an NPC's gender|Switches the player's gender; does not require a value. Can be used on an NPC if you target them. A fun thing to note is that this code does not change the face and voice of a character. Can be used on mannequins to show female outfits. It is possible to use this command to fix the lingering sound effect bug that some characters seem to suffer, just remember to use the command twice to return to your original gender.}}
{{/Entry|SGTM|Changes the Gametime Multiplier to a specified value for slow motion, and fast forward type effects| Allows you to control the gamespeed, making it easier to capture screenshots of action on slower speeds. Causes issues above 2.0 and below 0.10, except when 0. This is different from timescale as timescale does not affect combat and movement and dialog where this setting does. Example: sgtm 2 will make the game run in fastforward. Note: This setting is automatically reset back to 1 (default) when killmoves are executed.}}
{{/Entry|ShowGlobalVars|Shows all current game variables|This will list all current game variables, which can then be changed with the <code>set</code> command. You can scroll through the list with the PgUp and PgDown keys. }}{{/Entry|ShowMessage <nowiki><ID></nowiki>|Shows a message | E.g., <code>ShowMessage 000A81FF</code> will display the "Playtesting Temporary Message."}}
{{/Entry|showracemenu|Opens the character creation menu.|'''Note''': Using this command to alter one's race will reset skills and health/magicka/stamina to default levels. This command can be safely used to alter a character's appearance without causing any unwanted side-effects as long as race is not changed. However, it should be noted that upon completing your changes and choosing a name for your character, all temporary active effects (such as Gift of Charity or shrine blessings) will be removed. Racial resistances will no longer be listed in Active Effects until the game is loaded from the main menu, at which time racial resistances will be automatically reapplied. Permanent active effects such as those from guardian stones or perks will not be lost. Active effects granted from enchanted items will not be listed until the items are re-equipped.}}
{{/Entry|showracemenu <race>|Changes the player's race. | Example: <code>showracemenu bretonrace</code> will make your character into a Breton. This variation of <code>showracemenu</code> doesn't actually show the race menu, but instead works like <code>setplayerrace <race></code>. Skills bonuses/powers change to reflect new race, but it messes up skills/attributes like <code>showracemenu</code> past lv1. Setting race to 'nordrace' from any other race seems to result in a no head glitch unless used from the chargen menu.}}
{{/Entry|sqo|Itemizes quest objectives and their states|Shows a human friendly list of active and completed quest objectives for currently active quests}}
{{/Entry|sqt|List quest ids and targets|List all active quest IDs and their targets. Useful for finding the "questID" parameter for targeted quest commands such as <code>movetoqt</code> <QuestID>}}

== Using Batch Files With the bat Command ==
Skyrim provides a simple batch file mechanism so you can customize your game play quickly and without repeatedly typing console commands.

'''Ex.:''' bat mybatchfile; runs all of the console commands in the file ''mybatchfile''.

To use the feature you:

* Create a text file that contains a list of console commands (one per line).
* Place the file in your Skyrim installation directory.
* Start the game.
* Bring up the console.
* Type <code>bat</code> followed by the name of your batch file, for example <code>bat mybatchfile</code>.

Skyrim batch files are lists of console commands that are run one after the other. They have no loops, tests, or other logic and execution doesn't stop if there's a problem with one of the commands. You can create any number of batch files, each with its own purpose.

=== Guidelines for Using Commands in Batch Files ===

Most Skyrim console commands can be run from a batch file. For example:

* Toggle commands work in batch files. These include showing and hiding NPC conversation subtitles (ShowSubtitle), turning on and off grass display (TG), enabling and disabling god mode (TGM), and so forth.

* Targeted commands with an explicit reference work fine. For example, you can use <code>Player.Additem f 1000</code> in a batch file to add 1000 gold to your inventory. If you want to give Lydia 1000 gold, use <code>A2C94.Additem F 1000</code> (<code>A2C94</code> being the Reference ID of Lydia).

* PRID (Pick by Reference ID) selects an item, NPC, etc. Using PRID to select an NPC before performing additional commands that you want to apply to that NPC works fine, for example <code>prid a2c94</code> then <code>setclass 13176</code> will cause Lydia to level up correctly.

* Miscellaneous commands such as FOV or FW can also be run from batch files.

* The <code>COC</code> command cannot be run from within a batch file (the game will crash to desktop). {{VN}}

=== Example for using a Batch File to create an alternative start ===
With the above method you can actually create an alternative start to the game. In addition to a batch file, you also need to edit the <code>Skyrim.ini</code> file, which can be found in your <code>C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\My Games\Skyrim</code> folder.

# Open your <code>Skyrim.ini</code> file and add the line <code>SStartingCell=WhiteRiverWatch01</code> under the <code>[General]</code> tab.
# Create an empty .txt-file in your Skyrim folder (where the <code>TESV.exe</code> is located) and name it <code>bandit</code> (not <code>bandit.txt</code>).
#Paste the code sniplet below the numbered list into the new file.
#Start a new game and you will not see the intro but stand within the White River Watch cave.
#Open the console and type <code>bat bandit</code>.
#Create your character.

Code to copy into the <code>bandit</code> file:
player.removeallitems
;Leather Armor, Bracers and Boots
player.additem 3619e 1
player.equipitem 3619e
player.additem 13921 1
player.equipitem 13921
player.additem 13920 1
player.equipitem 13920
;Steel Sword and Shield
player.additem 13989 1
player.equipitem 13989
player.additem 13955 1
player.equipitem 13955
;Hunting Bow and Iron Arrows
player.additem 13985 1
player.additem 1397D 25
;Gold and Lockpicks
player.additem f 100
player.additem a 15
;Bandit Ally Faction
player.addtofaction e0cd9 0
;Create Character
showracemenu

Using this method you can visit Helgen before it is destroyed and you can also do the side missions, but without further editing the main quest will not start (see the Quest Stages section of [[Skyrim:Unbound|Unbound]] to find out how to start the main quest anyway).

Another method to use batch files is to place it under <code>Skyrim\Data\</code> and name it <code>bandit.txt</code> instead of just <code>bandit</code>. The console command will be the same - <code>bat bandit</code>. This method is better because any TXT editor (like Notepad) will automatically recognize the file, allowing you to easily open and edit it. Also, you may want to place this file in the same folder as other mods, which will help keep the root folder clean.

Sniffles: /* Commands */ Grammar

{{Trail}}
{{Incomplete}}
The '''console''' is a powerful in-game tool only available to PC players. From the console it is possible, while playing the game, to enter commands that will alter most aspects of gameplay, and it is also possible to obtain detailed information about NPCs, creatures, and other items in the game.

== General Information ==
The console can be accessed in-game by toggling the 'tilde key' (the actual key can be ~, º, ¬, |,^, \, §, ², etc.. depending on your keyboard layout), found near the "1" and "Esc" keys on most keyboards. The console prompt will appear in the lower left-hand corner of your screen. You can scroll the console output using the "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys. The console is not case sensitive: entering any of <code>tai</code> or <code>TAI<code> or <code>TaI</code> will toggle AI.

Many commands are ''targeted'': this means that you may use <code>player.''command''</code> to affect the player character; for example, type <code>player.setav carryweight 1000</code> will set the Player's Carry Weight at 1000. Or, you may want to target the NPC/actor, by first type <code>prid <RefID></code>, Enter. Then, type the ''command'' by itself, <code>setav carryweight 1000</code>, to affect the NPC, specified by ''RefID'' (Note: including the zeroes at the beginning of the RefID when targeting NPCs may produce a "command not found" error. That can be evaded though by placing the RefID in quotes, e.g. <code>"000A2C94".setav carryweight 1000</code> will set Lydia's Carry Weight at 1000).

You may also target an NPC or object in the console by clicking on them, and then run <code>''command''</code> to affect the NPC or object. When an NPC or object is targeted in this way, their hex code (RefID) will be displayed at the top of the console. For example, to unlock a door, open the console, click on the door so it is the active object in the console (its RefID is shown at the top of the screen), then type <code>unlock</code>. When multiple objects overlap, use the mouse wheel to scroll through different RefIDs until the correct one is selected. When playing on multiple monitors, the cursor will display in the secondary monitor but clicking it will select the object in the same area of the primary monitor.

Commands which are abbreviated (for example: <code>tai<code>) can also be run by using their full name; thus, <code>toggleai</code> is synonymous with <code>tai</code>, and <code>getactorvalue<code> is synonymous with <code>getav</code>. In most cases, the long command is an obvious progression from the abbreviation. Also, most <code>set''Something''</code> commands have a counterpart <code>get''Something''</code>, even if the counterpart isn't shown here.

Some commands require a [[Skyrim:form ID|form ID]]. Most articles on objects provide the id or ids for those items. In addition the help command can be used to locate ids. <code>Help "elven sword" 0</code> would provide a list of all game objects with 'elven sword' in the title. This can be used for items, spells <code>Help firebolt 0</code>, or perks <code> Help juggernaut 0 </code> .

{{Warning|If you don't know what you're doing, using console commands can cause your game to malfunction! Executing the wrong command can cause your game to stop working normally; furthermore, you may not become aware of such malfunctions right away, and you may not be able to trace their cause. They can cause problems like making quests impossible to complete, altering your game's display, all kinds of game behaviors, your ability to play your character, and your ability to play the game at all. Solutions are not always easy, and may involve losing saved games or reinstalling your game.

Create a permanent saved game before using the console. (This mitigates only some kinds of risks.) If you need to use the console to fix a glitch, try to use the least powerful command possible.

Your best bet for help if your game is crashing or not operating properly due to a console issue is on the [http://forums.bethsoft.com/forum/179-skyrim-hardware-and-software-issues-subforums/ producer's official forums]. You may see if someone in the wiki's [[UESPWiki:IRC|irc chatroom]] has a suggestion. You may not get any kind of answer right away, or a solution at all. You might also try asking a question on this article's [[Skyrim_talk:Console|talk page]] with the same idea: you may or may not receive a timely reply to your question or problem, and you may not receive a solution at all.}}

== Accessing the Console with Non-English Keyboards ==
If you are using a non-US keyboard, the tilde (~)/grave accent (`) key might not work, or there may be no tilde key.

Often, the key used is the key below Esc and above Tab (↹), where the tilde/grave key is on a US keyboard:

* On a Danish, Swedish or Finnish keyboard, the console is accessed by pressing the ½ key, the key just below Esc.

* On a Swiss (French) keyboard, the console is accessed by pressing the § key, the key just below Esc.
** Use the ² key (below Esc) and not § on French keyboard.

* On a German keyboard, the console is accessed by pressing the ^ key just below Esc. As this hat-character is usually used together with a normal letter to create letters as ê or ô the first letter you enter into the console will be usually a Blank Square or not even appear. Therefore have an eye on what is displayed in the console and delete when necessary.
* On a Hungarian keyboard, the console is accessed by pressing the 0 key. If you want to type "0" you must type the one from your numpad. Otherwise, the console will shut.

Another possible solution is to install [http://www.autohotkey.com/ AutoHotKey] and set up a shortcut to send the tilde key code the game is expecting. Add the following lines to your AutoHotKey script and it will map F12 to grave accent (`) and Shift+F12 to tilde (~). (The grave accent (`) key is the same physical key as tilde on US English keyboards.){{Pre|<nowiki>; Map grave accent/tilde key (`/~)
F12::SendEvent {vkC0sc029}
+F12::SendEvent +{vkC0sc029}

; On some systems you may need to use the less optimal mapping
F12::~</nowiki>}}

==Commands==
<big>'''How to Read the Command Table'''</big>

When a command requires arguments (e.g., <code>[[#additem|additem]] <Item ID> <qty></code>), the brackets <> indicate that <ID> should be replaced with the appropriate ID, and <qty> with the appropriate quantity. The brackets ''are not'' part of the syntax. So <code>additem <ID> <qty></code> becomes <code>additem 0002299c 1</code>.

Furthermore, all REFIDs, faction, weather etc can be entered without the leading zeros, eg:
<code>[[#additem|additem]] 2299c 1</code> has the same effect as above.

====Toggle Commands====
| These commands toggle settings on and off.
{{/Entry|animcam|Toggle animator camera|Toggles a 3rd person camera mode that lets you rotate and zoom the camera around the player without changing the direction the player model is facing.}}
{{/Entry|psb|Player Spell Book|Gives the character a complete spell book, including the shouts, and unlocks bestial abilities. Dragon souls are still required for shouts. This can crash Skyrim.}}
{{/Entry|s1st|Shows 1st person model in 3rd person|This only works in 3rd person. It shows your 1st person arms behind your character in 3rd person. You control the 3rd person model, but the 1st person arms mimic your swings. It looks like you're controlling a character that's controlling another character.}}
{{/Entry|sucsm <number>|Changes the speed of the free-flying camera (UFO cam)| Example: <code>sucsm 50</code> after typing <code>tfc</code> will allow the camera to move about five times faster than its default speed. The full command name is "<code>SetUFOCamSpeedMult</code>".}}
{{/Entry|tai|Toggle AI|Toggles AI (Artificial Intelligence) processing off or on. This command is [[#Targeted Commands|targeted]]; if no actor is selected it will turn off/on AI processing globally.}}
{{/Entry|tc|Toggle controls driven|If used when highlighting an NPC, will transfer control to said NPC, but any command input will be passed in addition to the player unless <code>player.tc</code> is used to remove control.}}
{{/Entry|tcai|Toggle Combat AI|Toggles Combat AI processing off or on.}}
{{/Entry|tcl|Toggle collision (clipping, noclip)|Essentially, you can fly. Point in a direction and move wherever you want. You can also move through buildings and even the landscape. This command is [[#Targeted Commands|targeted]]; if no actor is selected it will turn off collision for the player while keeping other actors stuck in place. It is possible to deselect any target reference by double clicking the same object or area in the landscape, which will cause "tcl" to default itself to target the player.}}
{{/Entry|tdetect|Toggle AI Detection|Disables and enables AI detection, meaning if it is toggled off, NPCs won't be able to "see" you, or anyone else, even if you're right in front of them or attacking them.}}

{{/Entry|teofis|Toggle End-Of-Frame ImageSpace|Disables blur, contrast adjustment, and a few other things. Will give a huge framerate boost on "weak" video cards, at the expense of some prettiness.}}
{{/Entry|tfc <1>|Freeflying camera|Sets your controls to move the camera around, instead of the player. Use with 3rd person view to get a good look at your character. Adding the "1" tag at the end freezes all the environment, but still allows you to move around with the camera.}}
{{/Entry|tfow|Toggle Fog of War|Toggles display of unexplored areas on the local map. Has no effect on the world map.}}
Note: There seems to be a bug when activating this when mining or woodcutting that causes your character to disappear and not be able to attack or go in to third person. Loading a previous save before this happened seems to fix this.
{{/Entry|tg|Toggle grass|Toggles display of grass.}}
{{/Entry|tgm|Toggle god mode|No damage taken, no magicka consumed, no stamina used, no encumbrance, unlimited arrows. You can only use this on yourself.}}
Note: God mode will not protect you from scripted damage, such as that from lightning in [[Skyrim:Sovngarde (place)|Sovngarde]], or damaging light or darkness in [[Skyrim:Twilight Sepulcher|Twilight Sepulcher]] or [[Dragonborn:Apocrypha|Apocrypha]], respectively.
{{/Entry|tim|Toggle immortal mode|Everything behaves as normal except you cannot die as a result of being reduced to 0 health. You can only use this on yourself. If you are decapitated or bitten and thrown by a dragon while using this, it can have some quite frustrating results.{{vn|section=Immortal: What kind of "frustrating" results?}}}}
{{/Entry|tll|Toggle LOD|Dramatically reduces draw distance for a performance gain and might solve glitches related to LOD.}}
{{/Entry|tm|Toggle menus (HUD)|"Menus" refers to the Heads-Up Display (HUD) on the screen: the health/magicka/fatigue meters, your current weapon and spell, the compass, etc. This also removes the cross-hair if it's present. This command is useful for taking screenshots without all the clutter.

Note: the <code>tm</code> command will toggle off ALL menus, including the console menu itself! To avoid confusion:
# Press ~.
# Type 'tm' and press ENTER.
# At this point, your console is still open but you cannot see it! Press ~ again to close it.
# When you wish to toggle menus on again, press ~ to open the console (you will not see anything, but the game action will pause).
# Type 'tm' and press ENTER.

Also see <code>csb</code>.}}
{{/Entry|tmm <nn>(,<nn>,<nn>)|Show/hide all map markers|<nn> should be 1 to show all markers, or 0 to hide all markers. Hiding markers hides ''ALL'' markers - including the city markers that are automatically visible at the beginning of the game. When adding markers, the 2nd parameter determines if the ones you add are set as discovered (1, default) or not (0), and the 3rd is all (1) or all but hidden (0,default) (e.g., to add all undiscovered markers without fast travel, enter <code>tmm 1,0,0</code>).}}
{{/Entry|ts|Toggle sky|Toggles display of the sky.}}
{{/Entry|tscr|Toggle script processing.|Toggles script processing off or on globally.}}
{{/Entry|tt|Toggle trees|Toggles display of trees.}}
{{/Entry|twf|Toggle wireframe|Shows wireframe in red or opaque.}}
{{/Entry|tws|Toggle water system|Toggles display of water (display underwater remains unchanged).}}

====Targeted Commands====
| These commands require a target reference. Select one with the mouse in the console, use the <code>[[#prid|prid]]</code> command, prefix the command with <code>player</code> to target the player character or prefix the command with a RefID to target something else.
{{/Entry|addfac|Short for addtofaction.|}}
{{/Entry|additem <item ID> <count> <flag (optional)>|Give a character the specified amount of an item|E.g., <code>player.additem 000669A5 5</code> will add five leeks to your player's inventory. The effects of <flag> are unknown, but it probably refers to ownership and stolen status. Changes to an NPC's inventory will usually appear immediately if you're pickpocketing them when you open the console. It is possible to remove items with this command by using negative numbers.(Item ids: [[Skyrim:Items]])}}
{{/Entry|addperk <perk ID>|Give a character the selected perk|For perk ID codes, see the page for the perk's corresponding skill, indexed at [[Skyrim:Skills|Skills]]. To find the perk ID code in-game, try <code>help <perkname> 0</code>.}}

E.g., <code>player.addperk 000c44c0</code> would give your player the perk "Adept Destruction".
{{/Entry|addspell <spell ID>|Add a specific spell to a character's available arsenal.|Works with powers, abilities, blessings, and diseases, but not shouts. For a spell's ID code, see the page for its corresponding magic school, indexed at [[Skyrim:Spells|Spells]]. For other applicable IDs, see: [[Skyrim:Powers|Powers and Abilities]], [[Skyrim:Blessings|Blessings]], or [[Skyrim:Disease|Diseases]]. This command does not work with dragon shouts; to add those, see the <code>teachword</code> command.}}

Here are some examples (note how adding certain magic effects can have unanticipated consequences):
* <code>player.addspell 00092c48</code> will add the "Beast Form" power to the player's spell book, essentially turning you into a werewolf.
* <code>player.addspell 000b8780</code> will add the "Sanguinare Vampiris" disease, turning your character into a vampire over the course of 3 ingame days. (Diseases will only be added after a random number is checked. The chance to contract "Sanguinare Vampiris" is 10% i.e. 1 out of 10.)
* <code>player.addspell 000d2056</code> will add the "Ghost Ability" effect, essentially turning your character into a ghost. (If you remove this spell again, you will need to reset the actor's opacity with <code>setactoralpha</code> command.)

Adding certain permanent abilities this way (e.g., [[Skyrim:Ancient Knowledge|Ancient Knowledge]]) will merely add their name to the list of active effects, but will not actually give the expected benefits. That requires changing the appropriate [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]] separately.
{{/Entry|addtofaction <faction ID> <faction rank>|Add a character to a faction.|Valid numbers for the faction rank vary, but 0 will always add the actor with the lowest possible faction rank and -1 will remove the actor from the faction.}}
Examples for some factions that can't usually be joined in the game, are given below:
{| class="wikitable"
{{!-}}
! factionid || faction || notes
|-
| 0005C84D || PotentialFollowerFaction || Gives the NPC all necessary dialogue to be selected as a new follower.
|-
| 00019809 || PotentialMarriageFaction || Gives the NPC all necessary dialogue to be available as a spouse. (Will not work with all races or NPCs with unique voices.)
|-
| xx004290 || PotentialChildrenFaction || Gives the NPC child necessary dialogue to be adopted. (May not always work, some children will disappear all day and just sleep at your home.)
xx = Hearthfire loading order number
|-
| 0005A1A4 || Player Ally Faction || Will turn the selected NPC into a friendly character.

|-
| 000E0CDB || Draugr Ally Faction || If used on the player, most draugr will no longer attack.
|}

{{/Entry|advlevel|Advance a character's level by one.|<code>advlevel</code> adds one level to your character's current level, but you are not given the option to increase an attribute, are not awarded any perk points, nor, obviously, will any of your skills improve. This command may therefore seem of limited value; however, remember that enemies get tougher as your level increases - so if you're a Tamriel veteran and have already cranked the difficulty to "Master" but still crave more of a challenge, using <code>advlevel</code> to add ~10 levels to your character (that's ten levels without skill increases, attribute gains, or new perks!) should certainly make the enemies more difficult.(though remember that the loot will also be leveled)}}
{{/Entry|AdvSkill <skill> <nn>|Advance the specified skill. | AdvSkill registers the increase and will count toward your next levelup. The full list of values recognized by AdvSkill is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]. The number represents the experience level to add to the skill (e.g., <code>player.advskill destruction 1</code> will only add 1 experience toward the next skill increase, it will not advance Destruction 1 skill level). Some skills require far more experience points than other skills, crafting skills level quickly with few points, but armor skills require much higher numbers. See the <code>incPCS</code> command for an alternative means of leveling skills, which in comparison does not use the relative-value experience points; however, <code>incPCS</code> can only increase a skill by one level per use.}}
{{/Entry|completequest <quest ID> |Complete the quest instantly. | Be careful when using this command. Often, it merely makes the quest in the Journal become a completed quest. However, the related actors or NPCs to the quest may not recognize that you have completed a quest/task in order to give you a following quest/task. Quest IDs can be found in [[Skyrim:Quests|Quests]].}}
{{/Entry|DamageActorValue <attribute> <nn>|Damage value of attribute by <nn> amount | Example: <code>player.damageactorvalue health 50</code> causes you to lose 50 health as if you just took damage. It will still recover the same way it normally does. Attributes can become negative. Can be restored with <code>restoreactorvalue</code>. This is a better option than <code>modAV</code> for temporary debuffing, since it can be restored to its original value easier. Stacks with 'modAV' effects. Skills/attributes damaged with <code>damageactorvalue<code> will still appear white, but will correctly restore to what they really are. Can be used to kill NPCs. Also see <code>RestoreActorValue</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|disable|Don't render the selected object (includes actors.)|The object will be made invisible, collision will also be turned off and AI won't process on the object, but scripting on the object will run (unlike Oblivion, where it would instantly crash to desktop, the player can't be disabled). Also see <code>enable</code>}}
{{/Entry|dispelallspells|Dispel all temporary spell effects on target|Example: <code>player.dispelallspells</code> dispels any magic effect on the player including buffs/debuffs (not attributes/skills changed with the console), potions/poisons, DoT effects, and activated powers (except beast form and other morphs).}}
{{/Entry|drop|Force drop items from a character's inventory|You may select a character and use the command <code>Drop <base ID> <amount></code> to drop any items in their inventory by force, including normally undroppable quest items. You may need to use <code>Showinventory</code> to get a detailed list of items and get the correct IDs you need.}}
{{/Entry|duplicateallitems <container/NPC refID>|Duplicate all items in the targeted container and places them in the given container. | Example: Selecting an NPC with the mouse then entering <code>duplicateallitems 89c79</code> will copy all items in the NPC's inventory and place the duplicates into the container with refID 89c79. You can get the container/NPC's refID by clicking on them and committing the ID to memory before selecting the container/NPC which has the items you want to copy. You can also type in the refID of the container/NPC with the items to be copied before the command with a period in between instead of selecting anything with the mouse. For example, entering <code>a2c94.duplicateallitems 89c79</code> will copy all items from Lydia's inventory (whose refID is a2c94) and place the duplicates into the container with the refID 89c79. Also see <code>removeallitems</code>}}
{{/Entry|enable|Render the selected object (includes actors.)|Undoes ''disable'', making the object and its collision and AI appear in the world again. Also see <code>disable</code>}}
{{/Entry|equipitem <Item ID>|Equip selected NPC with Item | With selected NPCs you can use equipitem ItemID for use. The opposite command is unequipitem, and works with the same syntax. Also see <code>unequipitem</code>}}
{{/Entry|forceAV <attribute> <nn>|Force to modify the value of attribute | ForceAV modifies the attribute value by registering a ''permanent modifier'' (positive or negative) of the amount required to force the attribute to the stated value. Displayed player attributes modified in this way will be highlighted (default is green text) to indicate a modifier ('buff' or 'debuff') is being applied. Also see <code>modAV</code> and <code>setAV</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|getAVinfo <attribute>|Get value information of target| This will print a short list of information about the given attribute (a.k.a. actor value) of the specified target. You can select a target with the mouse, or enter the refID of the target followed by a period before the command. For example, <code>player.getavinfo lightarmor</code> will return information about the player's Light Armor skill, such as the base value (what it was just after character creation), any current temporary or permanent modifiers, etc. For a list of all the actor values that can be used, see [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]].}}
{{/Entry|getlevel <target>|Get level of target | Gets the level of the targeted character or creature.}}
{{/Entry|GetLocationCleared <locationid>|Check an area's clear code. | 0 = not cleared, 1 = cleared. You must use the {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=LCTN|location id}}, not the name; for example, <code>GetLocationCleared 00018EE2</code> will check Swindler's Den. Also see <code>SetLocationCleared</code>.}}
{{/Entry|getrelationshiprank <target>|Get the relationship rank of two actors. | Should range from -3 to +4. See <code>setrelationshiprank</code>.}}
{{/Entry|getstage <quest ID>|Show the current active quest stage.|Shows the current stage that the quest is at based on the game's internal stage numbering.}}
{{/Entry|hasperk <perk ID>|Check if the selected actor has a perk with the selected ID|For perk ID codes, see the page for the perk's corresponding skill, indexed at [[Skyrim:Skills|Skills]]. To find the perk ID code in-game, try <code>help <perkname> 0</code>.}}

E.g., <code>hasperk 3af84</code> would return <code>Perk Rank >> 1</code> if the selected actor has taken the first level of the Two-handed Skull Crusher perk.
{{/Entry|incPCS <skill name>|Increase the given skill to the next level. | For example, entering <code>incpcs lightarmor</code> will increase the player's light armor skill to the next level. No integer or variable may be used after the command - it can only be used to increase a skill one level at a time. Using this command will lead to a normal increase in the player's level with attribute selection and a perk point, unlike the <code>advlevel</code> command. As an alternative to <code>incPCS</code>, see the <code>advskill</code> command. By comparison, <code>advskill</code> uses a more complex leveling system but can be used to advance a skill by any number of levels at once.}}
{{/Entry|kill <Actor ID (optional)>|Kill the selected actor (NOT the optional Actor ID).|Open the console, click on the actor you want to die, type <code>kill</code> and press Enter. Entering an optional Actor ID will treat that actor as the person who killed the target{{vn|plain}}, which can cause other NPCs to attack the actor as they would a murderer. Specifying the Player as the Actor ID will assign blame to the player, counting the kill as a murder if the target was non-hostile and possibly incurring a bounty if other NPCs witness the death.}}

Some actors (primarily NPCs, not creatures) can be flagged as "essential" by the game and thus will not die. In this case, the character will instead crouch and stumble around for a while; however, this stumbling can usually be ended early by using the <code>resurrect</code> command on him/her.
{{/Entry|lock <level>|Lock targeted object (i.e. door, container) with a difficulty of <level>. | Values of <level> will display in the tooltip for the locked object as follows: 0 - 25: Apprentice, 26 - 50: Adept, 51 - 75: Expert, 76 - 100: Master, 101+: Requires Key.}}
{{/Entry|MarkForDelete|Delete an object.|Deletes the targeted object the next time the area (cell) it resides in is reloaded. Useful for removing specific unwanted furniture/decoration from homes. Be careful as there's no way to restore deleted objects. Objects marked for delete will show <nowiki>[D]</nowiki> next to their ref ID if you re-target (re-click) them. Can be used to remove Ash Piles and Ghost Remains, which otherwise never get removed from the world.}}
{{/Entry|modAV <attribute> <nn>|Modify value of attribute by <nn> amount | ModAV modifies the attribute value by registering a ''permanent modifier'' (positive or negative) of the value stated. Displayed player attributes modified in this way will be highlighted (default is green text) to indicate a modifier ('buff' or 'debuff') is being applied. Also see <code>forceAV</code> and <code>setAV</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|moveto <actor ID>|Move a character to specified actor and vice versa. | Example 1 - move Player to an object or NPC: <code>player.moveto 0002BFA2</code>. Using this code will instantly teleport you to Hadvar's position. You must use RefID}}
Example 2 - move an object or NPC to the Player: type <code>prid 000A2C94</code>, Enter. Then, type <code>moveto player</code>, Enter. Using this code will instantly put Lydia next to you. This code is especially useful for a follower/NPC who's just disappeared after a quest due to a bug in game; e.g. Lydia is disappeared after The Break of Dawn quest. You can also select an object and type <code>moveto player</code> which will move the selected object to your feet and orient it based on the camera's angle. Also see <code>placeatme</code>
{{/Entry|movetoqt <quest ID>|Move to quest target | Example: <code>movetoqt da01</code>. Using this code will instantly teleport you to the target (i.e., the marker on the map) of the quest. It does not advance the quest in and of itself, but may bring you into a situation which might immediately do so. It takes you to the ultimate current target of the quest in its respective cell - so it doesn't just take you to the next doorway you need to go through. It doesn't skip over to the final stage of the quest, either - you are delivered to the target of the current stage of the quest. Use caution, as you will be placed right on top of or as close to the current marker as possible, which may position you in the middle of a group of enemies, or on top of a trapdoor, etc. See the main index of [[Skyrim:Quests|Quests]] for the quest ID codes.}}
{{/Entry|openactorcontainer 1|Open a character's inventory.|Opens selected NPC's inventory to allow the player to add/remove items as if it were any other container.}}
{{/Entry|paycrimegold <0-1> <0-1> <faction ID>|Pay the bounty.|Pay the bounty for the faction targeted NPC belongs to (the bounty gold will be removed from your inventory). The first 0-1 choice refers to being sent to jail: entering 1 will let you be teleported to the respective faction's jail, entering 0 won't. The second 0-1 choice refers to keeping your stolen items: entering 0 means you do not lose your stolen items, entering 1 means you do. If you don't add any choice you will be sent to jail without losing your stolen items. The faction ID is needed if you can't target an NPC. May also help in case guards attack you on sight.}} Faction ID's are given below:

{{/Entry|placeatme <actor/object ID>|Spawn specified actor or object at current position. | Example: <code>player.placeatme 000fea9b</code>. Using this code will instantly summon an instance of an object or NPC at your position. The above example summons a dragon. Not recommended for named NPCs. This code uses the Object (base) ID and not specific reference ID as it is creating a new instance of that object/actor in the world; using it with named NPCs can result in duplicates unless the original was somehow removed. Also see <code>moveto</code> which can summon named NPCs by refID using the following commands: <code>prid RefID</code> & <code>moveto player</code>}}
{{/Entry|playidle <idle ID>|Play an animation (idle) on the specified actor. | Example: <code>playidle IdleOffsetArmsCrossedStart</code>. See the {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=IDLE|list of idles}}.}}
{{/Entry|pushactoraway <actor ID> <number>|Push an actor away in a random direction. | Example: <code>pushactoraway 14 1337</code>. Will push or launch your character in a random direction. If you enter negative amount, example: <code>pushactoraway 0001A6B8 -200</code>, will pull the selected actor to your character position.}}
{{/Entry|recycleactor <destination reference (optional)>|Revive/Reset targeted NPC or object.|Can be used to reset an NPCs reference/revive dead NPCs. If you've already looted a corpse, they may come back headless (especially Nords). Their inventory isn't reset, except for their weapon. Enemies will prioritize other NPCs of opposing factions (like Stormcloak vs Imperial), and ignore the player until the opposing NPCs are dead. The optional Destination Reference is untested, probably refers to coordinates or a cell id.
* When used on containers, it acts like <code>resetinventory</code>.
* When used on objects, it will reset them to their original positions and states. It can be convenient if you mess something up and want to restore the order.
* When used on the player, their inventory is not replaced, but the following items are added:}}

{{/Entry|removeitem <item ID> <count>|Remove the specified amount of an item from a character's inventory. | E.g., <code>player.removeitem 000669A5 5</code> will remove five leeks from your player's inventory. Changes to an NPC's inventory will usually appear immediately if you're pickpocketing them when you open the console.}}
{{/Entry|removeperk <perk ID>|Remove the specified perk from a character's skills. | For perk ID codes, see the page for the perk's corresponding skill, indexed at [[Skyrim:Skills|Skills]]. }}

Important note: To remove perks from an established tree, you will need to backtrack through the entire tree. Meaning, start from the top and work your way down. In perks with ranks, you will need to remove rank 5/5, then 4/5, etc. Also, using removeperk will only remove the perk. It will not refund the perk points.

E.g., <code>player.removeperk 000babe8</code> will remove Barbarian rank 1/5.
{{/Entry|removespell <spell ID>|Removes a specific spell from a character's spell book. Also works with powers, abilities, blessings, and diseases, but not shouts | For a spell's ID code, see the page for its corresponding magic school, indexed at [[Skyrim:Spells|Spells]]. For other applicable IDs, see: [[Skyrim:Powers|Powers and Abilities]], [[Skyrim:Blessings|Blessings]], or [[Skyrim:Disease|Diseases]].}}

E.g., <code>player.removespell 00092c48</code> will remove the "Beast Form" power from the player's spell book.
{{/Entry|resetAI|Reset an NPC's AI.|Can be used to calm down a non-enemy NPC if you attack them. In battle, the enemy is forced to sheath their weapon, then pull it out again and reacquire their target.}}
{{/Entry|resethealth|Restore a character to full health.|Example: <code>player.resethealth</code> Restores your health to 100%}}
{{/Entry|resetinventory|Reset a container or a character's inventory.|Resets a character's inventory to its default. Example: If you use <code>removeallitems</code> on an NPC and enter <code>resetinventory</code> everything will respawn and re-equip to its defaults. Can be used to pickpocket the same item multiple times. Works on dead NPCs and containers/chests, so you can loot the same corpse/container multiple times. Containers are slightly randomized, so items may vary depending on the containers loot settings.}}
{{/Entry|RestoreActorValue <attribute> <nn>|Restore the value of attribute by <nn> amount | Restores a damaged skill or attribute up to its normal value. Example: lose 50 health and enter <code>player.restoreactorvalue health 100</code> and you recover 50 health since it can't restore more than its normal value. Doesn't fix attributes/skills damaged by <code>modAV</code> or <code>forceAV</code> or <code>setAV</code> Also see <code>DamageActorValue</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|resurrect <1>|Resurrect target actor|Unless you use this command the instant the NPC is killed, the game will still register the target as "Dead" and they will subsequently not be mentioned in dialogue and sometimes specifically referred to as "Dead" during a quest. Adding a tag of "1" at the end (i.e., <code>resurrect 1</code>) will make the target get up instead of vanishing and reappearing, thus allowing them to keep their equipment. If an NPC's corpse has vanished already, you will also need to [[#enable|enable]] the NPC. Using this on the player character will not dismiss the "Load last save?" screen, and the camera will behave as if you were still lying dead on the ground. However, if you use the resurrect command before the loading message appears, the player will revive, but the camera will be centered on the feet rather than the head. Note that accidentally using this command on yourself while you're still alive can also have unexpected consequences, among them losing the ability to dual-cast spells (which will be fixed on reload), and losing any blessing effects (but not the blessing itself - which can be complicated in the case of Standing Stones. The game will not let you restore that Standing Stone power unless you first visit another Standing Stone and come back.) NPCs who are dead at the beginning of the game (such as [[SR:Mage|Mage]]) cannot be resurrected via this command. Also see <code>kill</code>.}}
{{/Entry|setactoralpha <0-100>|Change the selected actor's alpha/opacity. | Useful for repairing unwanted graphic glitches after adding and removing certain permanent spell effects. E.g., <code>player.setactoralpha 100</code> will reset unwanted invisibility effects and make your character visible again.}}
{{/Entry|setAV <attribute> <nn>|Set value of attribute | SetAV sets the ''level value'' of the attribute to the stated value. Example: You can <code>player.setav block 100</code> to set your Block to 100 and take advantage of having a high level Block without receiving any levels (and therefore any perks). The same works for dropping the skill level. You can also do it for Health, Stamina, or Magicka etc. And you can target it for an NPC by using <code>prid <RefID></code> of an NPC first; then just type <code>setav health 500</code> to give the specified NPC 500 Health. Also see <code>forceAV</code> and <code>modAV</code>}}
The full list of attributes is provided at [[Tes5Mod:Actor Value Indices|Actor Value Indices]]
{{/Entry|setessential <base ID> <1/0>|Set a character as immortal (1) or mortal (0). | This command can be used to make any NPC unkillable. When a character set as essential takes nearly fatal damage, they collapse onto their hands and knees (Also known as Bleedout) and stumble around for a period of time, instead of dying. Note that ''the base ID and not the ref ID must be used''. The ref ID is what appears when clicking on an object with the console open. To find an NPC's base ID, however, you can either a) browse to their respective page (see: [[Skyrim:People|People]] and/or [[Skyrim:NPCs|NPCs]]) or b) use the <code>help</code> function in-game to search for them by name, recording whatever value matches their name under the "NPC_" category of result. Once you have the base ID, enter the command using either 1 to set him/her immortal or 0 to set him/her mortal. For example, <code>setessential a2c8e 1</code> would set Lydia as immortal.}}
* Be careful when making an Essential NPC mortal, if they die you will likely be unable to access the associated quest or story. However, a simple save reload will fix if you haven't save over all the files where the character is still alive(and either non-essential or essential)
* Related functions: To check whether an NPC is essential to begin with, select him/her in the console (so that the ''ref ID'' appears), and enter <code>IsEssential</code> - if the console returns "1.00", the NPC is essential.
* It is also possible to set the player them self as essential with the base ID of 00000007, However upon entering the 'bleedout' stage, the player will sometimes not get back up (usually upon the first time in a new area or after having recently set yourself as essential), however, simply entering your inventory and drinking a health potion will fix this immediately (any health potion used during bleedout will return you to full health). Usually, your character will drop down to their hands and knees, and then immediately get back up with full health.
{{/Entry|setgs <setting> <value>|Set game setting.|Doesn't seem to be preserved in saves; must be reset each time the game loads. Example: <code>setgs fJumpHeightMin <height></code> sets the jump height for the player.}}
{{/Entry|setlevel A B C D |Set NPC level|Just like other target commands, type <code>prid <RefID></code> of an actor/NPC first. If you prefer to click on the npc while in the command console, make sure the ID you see is of the targeted npc and not an object.}}
If you input <code>setlevel 1000 0 1 100</code> that npc will be equal level you are and will level with you up to level 100 and will start at level 1 if you're level 1.
{| class="wikitable"

{{/Entry|SetLocationCleared <locationid> 1|Set whether an area has been cleared.|You must use the {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=LCTN|location id}}; if you wish to clear Swindler's Den, for example, use 00018EE2, not the name. Also see <code>GetLocationCleared</code>.}}
{{/Entry|setnpcweight <0-100> (snpcw)|Set the weight of the selected NPC and updates the model to reflect the new weight. | Despite its name, this also works on the player's model. e.g. <code>player.setnpcweight 0</code> changes the player's appearance to be as if the "Weight" slider were all the way left. 100 would be all the way to the right.}} Saving and re-loading a game after it's been used on an NPC may result in neck seams, as NPC head meshes are pre-modeled and not procedurally generated to the new weight value.
{{/Entry|setownership|Sets the player as the owner of the targeted item.|Use this to remove the "stolen" tag from any items. Simply drop the item on the ground, open the console, click on the item, and enter the command. It can be difficult to select certain items. If the displayed ID code does not begin with "ff", you have not selected an item, but rather an object in the world (ground texture, light, container, etc.). Can also be used to remove the "owned" attribute of beds and gain the ownership of a stolen horse.}}
{{/Entry|setrace <race>|Change a character's race.|Doing this will allow you to change the race of an actor. If <code>player.setrace</code> is used, you can change your own race without using showracemenu. Upon using this code, the character's hand will be bound like in the beginning of the game, but this can be undone by drawing a weapon. This will not mess up attributes/skills. Creatures are available as races as well (e.g., <code>player.setrace dragonrace</code>), but most creatures will have a buggy camera position in third person. You can get most race codes with the <code>help race 0</code> command. Use PageUp and PageDown to scroll to the races at the top of the list. Unlike most other commands, the race needs to be specified in plain text and not the race's BaseID (i.e. <code>player.setrace nordrace</code>). See <code>setplayerrace</code> for additional details.}}

{{/Entry|setscale <#>|Scale size of target. | Scales the size of a chosen target. Starting from small 0.1, normal 1, and 10 at max size. Acceptable targets can be any NPCs or objects in the world. You cannot change the size of items.}}
{{/Entry|setstage <quest ID> <stage #>|Set the current stage of the given quest. | Example: <code>setstage ms01 100</code>. The <code>setstage</code> command is useful for advancing broken quests, finishing quests instantly, or for skipping ahead to a certain point in a quest. You can find the quest's ID code, as well as the various stages of the quests and their corresponding stage numbers, on the respective quest page. To start, see the main index of [[Skyrim:Quests|Quests]].}}

{{/Entry|setunconscious <integer>|A value of 1 will be unconscious | Example: <code>setunconscious 1</code> makes an NPC or the player stand in place as if it's in a trance or their AI is disabled. You can do what ever you want to them and they won't react. They remain that way until you use <code>setunconscious 0</code>. They will act like nothing happened, so if you steal from them and wake them back up it will be as if they didn't see anything. They can also wake up if you get their health to a critical level, and will either fight back or run away. The effect is equivalent to the player using wait and coming out of it early due to an attack.}}
{{/Entry|showinventory|Display the base IDs of every item in a character's inventory.|These IDs can be used in the console to modify a character's or the player's inventory. E.g., with five Leeks in a person's inventory, <code>player.showinventory</code> will display "5 - Leek (000669A5)", and you can use <code>player.additem 000669A5 5</code> to obtain five more leeks.}}
{{/Entry|shp <parameter #1-parameter #9>|Set HDR parameters | The 9 HDR parameters are in floating point. Each one affects something different. The effects stay until you load a save or switch areas. Example: <code>shp 1.00 0 0.50 0.01 9.00 .1 .99 100 1.0000</code>}}
{{/Entry|sifh <#>|Set whether an actor should ignore friendly hits.|E.g., <code>sifh 1</code> will make the selected actor ignore friendly hits.}}
{{/Entry|sqs <quest ID>|Display stages of a quest | Lists all stages of that quest and shows if a stage is achieved.}}
{{/Entry|str <0-1.000000>|Set the refraction value of the selected target. | E.g., <code>str 1.000000</code> will set refraction to its maximum value, <code>str 0.000001</code> will make the target completely invisible, <code>str 0.000000</code> turns off refraction reverting the target to its normal appearance. <code>str 0.000000</code> will completely mess up a character's eyes and eyelashes. Can be used on any targetable object from NPC/player to pieces of the architecture.}}
{{/Entry|teachword <word>|Teach a dragon shout. | Teaches a specific dragon shout by code. Each level of a word has a specific code. Use the <code>help</code> command to find the shout's code, or see [[Skyrim:Dragon_Shouts|Dragon Shouts]].}}
{{/Entry|unequipitem <Item ID>|Unequip item from selected NPC | With selected NPC you can use unequipitem ItemID for use. The opposite command is equipitem, and works with the same syntax. No error or other horrible fate seems to await you if you unequip an item the NPC doesn't have. Also see <code>equipitem</code>}}
{{/Entry|unlock|Unlock the targeted object.|Unlocks the targeted door, container, etc., including "Requires Key"-level locked objects.}}
{{/Entry|unlockword <word>|Unlock a dragon shout. | Unlocks a specific dragon shout by code. Each level of a word has a specific code. Use the <code>help</code> command to find the shout's code, or see [[Skyrim:Dragon_Shouts|Dragon Shouts]].}}

====Untargeted Commands====
| These commands do not require a target reference.
{{/Entry|bat|Execute a batch file|Executes a .txt file with console commands in it, handy for certain otherwise tedious actions.}}
{{/Entry|caqs|Complete all quest stages|Finishes ''every'' quest in the game, not just the ones you've started, essentially completing the game. Not recommended for general use. May crash your game. '''Note''': This will unlock several quest related Steam achievements if they have not been unlocked yet. See also: <code>saq</code>}}
{{/Entry|coc <nowiki><cellname></nowiki>|Transport to <cellname> | Transports to the center of a named cell (coc stands for '''c'''enter '''o'''n '''c'''ell.); i.e., if you want to go to Riverwood write <code>coc Riverwood<code> in the console. <code>coc qasmoke<code> will transport to the Skyrim testing hall (for QA testing; inaccessible otherwise.) '''Note''': Opening the enchanted armor and weapons cabinets may crash Skyrim.<--(note opening any weapons or armor chest at the testing hall doesn't crash the game, it just takes a moment to load all the wonderful stuff you're about to get)}}
You can get most location codes with the <code>help location 0</code> command. I.e. <code>help breezehome 0</code> will tell you that the correct code is <code>WhiterunBreezehome</code> or that Sovngarde can be reached with <code>Sovngarde01</code>.
{{/Entry|cow <nowiki><worldspace> <cell x, cell y></nowiki>|Transports to cell <cell x, cell y> in <worldspace> | Transports to the center of cell [cell x, cell y] in world space. (cow stands for '''c'''enter '''o'''n '''w'''orld.) The outdoor worldspace of Skyrim is ''Tamriel'' so to transport to the center of cell 5,7 in Tamriel you would put <code>cow tamriel 5,7</code> in the console. (Whiterun 4,-4 Dawnstar 8,25 Solitude -15,25 Markarth -42,0 Morthal -10,15 Falkreath -7,-21 Winterhold 27,24 Windhelm 33,7 Riften 42,-23 High Hrothgar 10,-10 (These points will put you at the stables or right in front of each city but not inside. Having god mode acitve is highly recomended if you're going to experiment with this.))}}
{{/Entry|csb|Clear screen blood|Removes all blood from the screen. Useful when taking screenshots.}}
{{/Entry|fov <nowiki><angle></nowiki>|Set fov <angle> | Will change the Field of View to <angle>. Default is about 65 and using the command with no value will set the fov to 75. This change will reset if the game is restarted or if settings are changed by the Launcher. Values between 80 and 107 may be most suitable for wide screen PC users. 180 is the maximum, values higher will be accepted, but will still have the effects of 180.}}
{{/Entry|fw <nowiki><formid></nowiki>|Force Weather | Changes the current weather to the specified value ('''NOTE''': Using this command will NOT permanently change the weather). It is only temporary, and will reset after some moving around. Valid formids are:}}

{{/Entry|GetGlobalValue <Variable>|Returns the value of a single global game setting. | Example:<code>GetGlobalValue DragonsReturned</code> would tell you whether or not random dragon attacks will take place. See <code>ShowGlobalVars</code>.}}
{{/Entry|GetInCellParam <Cell ID> <Object ID>|Checks if an object is in a specified cell. | 3=Example:<code>GetInCellParam 5de24 14</code> would tell you whether or not the player is in helgen keep. getincell >> 0.00= not present, 1.00=present. Can be used to confirm if your character or an NPC is in a particular cell.}}
{{/Entry|GetPCMiscStat <Stat>|Returns the value of the (typically meaningless) stats shown in the ESC menu. | Shorthand is <code>GetPCMS</code>. Example: <code>GetPCMS "barters"</code> would tell you how many times you've gone shopping or <code>GetPCMS "days as a werewolf"</code> will tell you how many days you have been a werewolf. The quotation marks are required in the command to properly identify multiword stat IDs.}}
{{/Entry|help <nowiki><Text></nowiki>|Returns the IDs of all items, spells, game settings, etc. which have the entered text in their name. | This is a useful command to find the item ID of an object, which can then be used with other console commands.}}
E.g., <code>help "Daedric"</code> will list all items, etc. which have "Daedric" in their name. There is no need to put a "0" for the help command. Quotation marks are required for queries of more than one word (e.g., <code>help "ancient nord"</code>).
{{/Entry|killallactors|Kill all actors.|Kills all loaded (in currently rendered cells) non-essential actors (NPCs and creatures) immediately. Essential actors will be knocked down. The code <code>killall</code> can be used for identical effect.}}
{{/Entry|load <nowiki><name></nowiki>|Loads <name> gamesave.|Loads the corresponding save. E.g.: <code>load autosave1</code> will load last autosave. If the name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double-quotes, E.g.: <code>load "My Skyrim Save"</code>
Useful when stuck, or if showracemenu is opened. See also: <code>save</code>}}
{{/Entry|ModPCMiscStat <Stat> <nn>|Adjusts the value of the (typically meaningless) stats shown in the ESC menu by <nn> amount. | Shorthand is <code>ModPCMS</code>. Modifies the Player Character Miscellaneous Statistic value by registering a ''permanent modifier'' (positive or negative) of the value stated. Example: <code>ModPCMS "days as a werewolf" -100</code> will modify how many days you have been a werewolf by a negative 100. The quotation marks are required in the command to properly identify multiword stat IDs.}}
{{/Entry|pcb|Purge cell buffer|This will free up used memory, often times increasing fps after any given amount of time in game. Best used while in interior cells. However, since it purges cached cells, any cells you visited in the recent past will have to be reloaded completely when reentered.}}
{{/Entry|playercreatepotion <MGEF ID#1> <MGEF ID#2 (optional)> <MGEF ID#3 (optional)>|Creates a potion with up to 3 effects. | 3=Example: <code>playercreatepotion 6b10C</code> gives you a potion of improved nighteye for X seconds. Alchemy Skill determines effect magnitude(based on alchemy skill 1=1%/1Pt,) and duration(duration = Alchemy Skill +1 Sec). Some MGEF effects don't work with potions.}}

<code>damageactorvalue</code> and <code>modAV</code> will effect the magnitude of alchemy effects without messing with your level/skill progress.
{{/Entry|playerenchantobject <object ID> <MGEF ID> <MGEF ID (optional)>|Spawns an object with specified enchantments | 3=Example: <code>playerenchantobject 136D5 109637 109637</code> would give you imperial armor with two magic resist enchantments.

The Magnitude used for any magic effect is set to your enchanting skill, so 85 enchanting skill = 85% magnitude,85 damage/+85 health/magicka/stamina, 85+1 sec duration(weapons only).

Any effect with an MGEF ID can be added, including special effects normally restricted to NPCs and some perk effects. Perk MGEFs don't show up on equipment or passive effects, but still work. They also use enchanting skill instead of the perks usual value, and stack with the real perk.

Weapons made through the console will always have about 11.5 charges(regardless of enchanting level), and can be recharged. Some effects don't require charges unless grouped with an effect that does require charges. When used on weapons some MGEF are toggled on hit(first hit= on,second hit= off), like improved nighteye.

Enchanted weapons/equipment created with this command cannot be disenchanted, the game will tell you that you already have the effect.

<code>damageactorvalue</code> and <code>modAV</code> will effect the magnitude of enchantments without messing with your level/skill progress.}}

{{/Entry|prid <RefId>|Pick reference by ID | Select an existing copy of an object/creature/NPC using its reference FormID (the one associated with that particular placed object). All subsequent [[#Targeted Commands|targeted commands]] will use this object as the target. This is the same as clicking on the object in the console, but can be used even if the object is invisible or in a different area. Shorthand for <code>PickReferenceID</code>}}
{{/Entry|qqq|Fast quit.|Quits Skyrim to desktop immediately without further prompting. This sometimes results in crashing or mouse click problems. Mouse problems can be resolved by re-opening and closing Skyrim.}}
{{/Entry|resetinterior <cellid>|Reset an entire cell. | This command will reset an entire dungeon or location to default, including monsters, traps, chests and loot. E.g., ResetInterior Stillborncave01 or ResetInterior 00015206 would reset the dungeon Stillborn Cave to default; all monsters, traps, and loot would be respawned. If you reset a cell you have just been to, you'll need to use pcb command (purge cell buffer) as well, or the game will reload the buffered version of the cell, with all the modifications you've made to it. Both {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=CELL|editorID}} and {{CSList|ns_base=Skyrim|rec=CELL|formID}} are acceptable in this command. Using this command in player homes appears to reset the furnishings without clearing the contents of initially empty containers (viz., the bedroom chest){{vn|plain}}}}
{{/Entry|resetquest <questid>|Reset a quest. | This command will reset a quest. This command will set all stages of the quest to 0.}}
{{/Entry|saq|Start all quests|Begins ''every'' quest in the game and adds them all to your journal. Not recommended for non-experimental use due to the large number of quests. May crash your game. '''Note''': This will unlock several quest related Steam achievements if they have not been unlocked yet. See also: <code>caqs</code>}}
{{/Entry|save <nowiki><name></nowiki>|Write <name> gamesave. | Save game to a named save <name>. If the name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double-quotes, i.e. <code>save "My Skyrim Save"</code> Note that this will overwrite an existing save of <name> without prompting.
Appending the parameter "1" will create a file <name>.ess.txt and open a texteditor upon it. This textfile contains a lot of dumped data and takes a while to write out (15 minutes observed) - the console and game is unresponsive during that. See also: <code>load</code>}}
{{/Entry|set <nowiki><globalvariable></nowiki> to <nowiki><value></nowiki>|Sets a global variable | Sets the value for a global variable. See <code>ShowGlobalVars</code>. }}
{{/Entry|setplayerrace <nowiki><ID></nowiki>|Set player race. | Doing this will allow you to change your race without using showracemenu. If ID is not provided race menu will appear.}}
You can get most race codes with the <code>help race 0</code> command. Use PageUp and PageDown to scroll to the races at the top of the list. Unlike most other commands, the race needs to be specified in plain text and not the race's BaseID (i.e. <code>setplayerrace nordrace</code>). Creatures are available as race as well, but most creatures will have a buggy camera position in 3rd person. <code>SetRace racename</code> can also be used. Upon using this code, the character's hand will be bound like in the beginning of the game, but this can be undone by drawing a weapon. Will mess up attributes/skills.
{{/Entry|set playeranimalcount to <qty>|sets number of animal followers | used to remove a lost pet from your party <code>set playeranimalcount to 0</code>
'''Note''': doesn't remove any actual follower, just reset the count to the selected number (1 or 0). If used with a animal follower next to you that isn't lost, you can recruit another one.}}
{{/Entry|set playerfollowercount to <qty>|sets number of followers | used to remove a lost follower from your party <code>set playerfollowercount to 0</code>
'''Note''': doesn't remove any actual follower, just reset the count to the selected number (1 or 0).}}
{{/Entry|set timescale to <qty>|sets the speed of how fast time advances in-game | 3=Default value is 20. Setting the value to 1 will make time advance at the same rate as the real world. Values down to 0 are possible, where less than 1 represents game time at a fraction of real time and 0 freezing the time of day completely.

'''Note''': NPCs are unable to cross cell boundaries when timescale is less than 1. Fast traveling while timescale = 0 may also prevent your game from loading properly.}}
{{/Entry|SexChange|Switches the player or an NPC's gender|Switches the player's gender; does not require a value. Can be used on an NPC if you target them. A fun thing to note is that this code does not change the face and voice of a character. Can be used on mannequins to show female outfits. It is possible to use this command to fix the lingering sound effect bug that some characters seem to suffer, just remember to use the command twice to return to your original gender.}}
{{/Entry|SGTM|Changes the Gametime Multiplier to a specified value for slow motion, and fast forward type effects| Allows you to control the gamespeed, making it easier to capture screenshots of action on slower speeds. Causes issues above 2.0 and below 0.10, except when 0. This is different from timescale as timescale does not affect combat and movement and dialog where this setting does. Example: sgtm 2 will make the game run in fastforward. Note: This setting is automatically reset back to 1 (default) when killmoves are executed.}}
{{/Entry|ShowGlobalVars|Shows all current game variables|This will list all current game variables, which can then be changed with the <code>set</code> command. You can scroll through the list with the PgUp and PgDown keys. }}{{/Entry|ShowMessage <nowiki><ID></nowiki>|Shows a message | E.g., <code>ShowMessage 000A81FF</code> will display the "Playtesting Temporary Message."}}
{{/Entry|showracemenu|Opens the character creation menu.|'''Note''': Using this command to alter one's race will reset skills and health/magicka/stamina to default levels. This command can be safely used to alter a character's appearance without causing any unwanted side-effects as long as race is not changed. However, it should be noted that upon completing your changes and choosing a name for your character, all temporary active effects (such as Gift of Charity or shrine blessings) will be removed. Racial resistances will no longer be listed in Active Effects until the game is loaded from the main menu, at which time racial resistances will be automatically reapplied. Permanent active effects such as those from guardian stones or perks will not be lost. Active effects granted from enchanted items will not be listed until the items are re-equipped.}}
{{/Entry|showracemenu <race>|Changes the player's race. | Example: <code>showracemenu bretonrace</code> will make your character into a Breton. This variation of <code>showracemenu</code> doesn't actually show the race menu, but instead works like <code>setplayerrace <race></code>. Skills bonuses/powers change to reflect new race, but it messes up skills/attributes like <code>showracemenu</code> past lv1. Setting race to 'nordrace' from any other race seems to result in a no head glitch unless used from the chargen menu.}}
{{/Entry|sqo|Itemizes quest objectives and their states|Shows a human friendly list of active and completed quest objectives for currently active quests}}
{{/Entry|sqt|List quest ids and targets|List all active quest IDs and their targets. Useful for finding the "questID" parameter for targeted quest commands such as <code>movetoqt</code> <QuestID>}}

== Using Batch Files With the bat Command ==
Skyrim provides a simple batch file mechanism so you can customize your game play quickly and without repeatedly typing console commands.

'''Ex.:''' bat mybatchfile; runs all of the console commands in the file ''mybatchfile''.

To use the feature you:

* Create a text file that contains a list of console commands (one per line).
* Place the file in your Skyrim installation directory.
* Start the game.
* Bring up the console.
* Type <code>bat</code> followed by the name of your batch file, for example <code>bat mybatchfile</code>.

Skyrim batch files are lists of console commands that are run one after the other. They have no loops, tests, or other logic and execution doesn't stop if there's a problem with one of the commands. You can create any number of batch files, each with its own purpose.

=== Guidelines for Using Commands in Batch Files ===

Most Skyrim console commands can be run from a batch file. For example:

* Toggle commands work in batch files. These include showing and hiding NPC conversation subtitles (ShowSubtitle), turning on and off grass display (TG), enabling and disabling god mode (TGM), and so forth.

* Targeted commands with an explicit reference work fine. For example, you can use <code>Player.Additem f 1000</code> in a batch file to add 1000 gold to your inventory. If you want to give Lydia 1000 gold, use <code>A2C94.Additem F 1000</code> (<code>A2C94</code> being the Reference ID of Lydia).

* PRID (Pick by Reference ID) selects an item, NPC, etc. Using PRID to select an NPC before performing additional commands that you want to apply to that NPC works fine, for example <code>prid a2c94</code> then <code>setclass 13176</code> will cause Lydia to level up correctly.

* Miscellaneous commands such as FOV or FW can also be run from batch files.

* The <code>COC</code> command cannot be run from within a batch file (the game will crash to desktop). {{VN}}

=== Example for using a Batch File to create an alternative start ===
With the above method you can actually create an alternative start to the game. In addition to a batch file, you also need to edit the <code>Skyrim.ini</code> file, which can be found in your <code>C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\My Games\Skyrim</code> folder.

# Open your <code>Skyrim.ini</code> file and add the line <code>SStartingCell=WhiteRiverWatch01</code> under the <code>[General]</code> tab.
# Create an empty .txt-file in your Skyrim folder (where the <code>TESV.exe</code> is located) and name it <code>bandit</code> (not <code>bandit.txt</code>).
#Paste the code sniplet below the numbered list into the new file.
#Start a new game and you will not see the intro but stand within the White River Watch cave.
#Open the console and type <code>bat bandit</code>.
#Create your character.

Code to copy into the <code>bandit</code> file:
player.removeallitems
;Leather Armor, Bracers and Boots
player.additem 3619e 1
player.equipitem 3619e
player.additem 13921 1
player.equipitem 13921
player.additem 13920 1
player.equipitem 13920
;Steel Sword and Shield
player.additem 13989 1
player.equipitem 13989
player.additem 13955 1
player.equipitem 13955
;Hunting Bow and Iron Arrows
player.additem 13985 1
player.additem 1397D 25
;Gold and Lockpicks
player.additem f 100
player.additem a 15
;Bandit Ally Faction
player.addtofaction e0cd9 0
;Create Character
showracemenu

Using this method you can visit Helgen before it is destroyed and you can also do the side missions, but without further editing the main quest will not start (see the Quest Stages section of [[Skyrim:Unbound|Unbound]] to find out how to start the main quest anyway).

Another method to use batch files is to place it under <code>Skyrim\Data\</code> and name it <code>bandit.txt</code> instead of just <code>bandit</code>. The console command will be the same - <code>bat bandit</code>. This method is better because any TXT editor (like Notepad) will automatically recognize the file, allowing you to easily open and edit it. Also, you may want to place this file in the same folder as other mods, which will help keep the root folder clean.

== Recommended Settings ==
Wondering if an edit needs made here. Under the recommended hardware it says Windows XP, and 32 or 64 bit. Considering the 4 GB recommended RAM, 32 bit systems won't cut it, as they max out RAM at around 3.3 GB even with a 4 GB stick installed. [[User:Nikomis|Nikomis]] 18:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
:I don't think an edit needs to be made. This is information released by Bethesda, so we have to show it as is. However I do agree that that is possibly a relevant comment. [[User:Eric Snowmane|Eric Snowmane]] 19:17, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
::Actually I was thinking about creating specific topic on UESP forum regarding Skyrim's technical support because I know that there will be massive flood of posts such as "my game won't play", "my game crushes" and so on. It should be pointed out that all x32 platforms read up or 4 GB of RAM, x64 up to 192 GB even (W7 Ultimate). --[[User:Arkhon|Arkhon]] 15:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
:::That's what I was saying though. x32 systems can recognize the sticks up to 4GB but actually limits you to around 3.3 usable GB of RAM. Which won't really be enough for the recommended settings. [[User:Nikomis|Nikomis]] 21:37, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
::::That's true but it is still for the ''recommended settings'' (it is obvious that better PC you have, better graphics you gonna get). If you have crappy CPU and/or Video card with even 8 GB of RAM and Windows 7 x64, you won't be able to play it on recommended. '''4''' GB '''is enough''' anyways if you want to play the game ''at all''. They said that 2 GB is a bare minimum, personally I wouldn't go below 4 GB of RAM for Skyrim though. --[[User:Arkhon|Arkhon]] 03:23, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
:::::The confusion here is that it says "4GB '''System''' RAM", not "4GB '''Usable''' RAM". They're saying that your system needs to have memory modules that '''add up to''' at least 4GBs, not that your OS needs to be able to '''access''' at least 4GBs. I think they're probably aware of the memory limitations of a 32-bit OS. --[[User:Non.such|Non.such]] 08:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

== Specs overkill? ==

It seems to me that these specs are all overkill (except video card recommendations). This game is using less than 1 GB of memory, any more than that is overkill (unless you are using main memory for video textures). As it stands I am using a 2.4 Core Duo and this game doesn't even come close to maxing out the CPU. [[Special:Contributions/65.175.218.213|65.175.218.213]] 15:51, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

:Same here, GF 8800 GTX + 3.0 Core Duo, 3gb ram, Win7, running on ULTRA 1248x1024 with 50 avarege FPS {{uns|79.186.47.16|22:15, 19 November 2011}}

::Agreed. For me the game consumes at max 600MB of RAM, even when changing iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes to something greater (e.g. 1800000000). Even with the last 1.3.10 patch which supposedly adds 4GB support, the game it's consuming 800MB at max. {{uns|81.203.48.65|09:48, 31 December 2011}}

== Ambiguous GTX 550 Ti 1GB rating ==

Current version of the page shows it both in VH/EH and in H/VH.

Perhaps the card in the top category was 2GB ? [[Special:Contributions/76.199.67.118|Contributions/76.199.67.118]], 19:26, 27 November 2011

==320M under 220 and 120M?==
I somehow refuse to believe the NVidia GeForce 320M is less powerful than both the 220M and the 120M. Is this a mistake?
I can also report the game properly playable on medium/high (low-res) on my 320M after installing a performance mod (d3d9.dll), but no smooth 30FPS. [[User:Wolfos|Wolfos]]
: According to the website notebookcheck.net, NVidia 420m (88th) > 220m (111st) > 120m (113rd) > 520m (117th) > 320m: (121st). The last four are in a handkerchief. Overall, 420M is on mid-range and the 220m, 120m, 520m and 320m in mid/low-range (more mid than low). There is an explanation: the 220M and 120M are a renaming of the 9600M GT, which was the top-middle range of his time. With the series 300M, Nvidia has returned to his old notation and a more logical nomenclature: the digit of ten indicates again the type of range. *20M is Low, *40M is Mid, *60M is High-Range.

== Importance of processor speed ==

I noticed that the Recommended stats specify four cores, but no speed. Is speed just not important compared to multithreading, or is there some speed I should be targeting in my pc hunt? [[Special:Contributions/166.182.3.76|166.182.3.76]] 03:21, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
: Just get the i5 2500K. It's got the best price/performance ratio. [[User:Wolfos|Wolfos]]

==Resolution and CPU dependence ==
I just played Skyrim on high (with medium shadow detail) on an AMD A8-3500M processor with 6620G integrated graphics... I think these specs are a little overkill. Playing at 1360x768 requires alot less graphics power than 1080p, and I think this should be emphasized. Also, Skyrim's is funny about CPU usage: shadow detail requires alot of CPU, but other things don't. The game likes having more cores and uses them (Intel's 6 core processors at the same clocks as quad cores give better framerates) , but it generally maxes a single core on whatever rig I'm on. --[[Special:Contributions/68.90.9.1|68.90.9.1]] 22:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

== Can My Computer Run It? ==

I am thinking about buying a new computer to play Skyrim, and the one I am thinking about getting has the specs below. I would like to know if it will be able to run Skyrim, and if so at what graphics level with very little to no lag/stuttering. Specs are:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Quad Core Processor 3.2 GHz, Socket AM3
Motherboard: Biostar A770E3, Socket AM3
Video: ATI Radeon HD 6770 1GB DDR5
Hard Drive: 1.5TB, 5400 rpm, SATA Hard Drive
Memory: PC3 10600 DDR3 1333 MHz, 240-pin, 6GB
{{uns|69.244.23.111|05:47, 9 January 2012}}

:This will undoubtably run the game on high/ultra settings with no issue.[[User:Thuraya Salaris|Thuraya Salaris]] 05:52, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

::I have just found another computer that's a little cheaper, but with an ATI Radeon HD6950 2 GB videocard, 8 GB RAM and 2.3 GHz quadcore processor. The processor seems much weaker than the above one, so what do you think I could run Skyrim on with this one?[[Special:Contributions/69.244.23.111|69.244.23.111]] 22:48, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
:::Quite likely the same as above, however it's harder to say as you've not listed the model of the processor itself. Overall the video card is beefy enough to handle it and as long as it is a current quadcore it should be fine. [[User:Thuraya Salaris|Thuraya Salaris]] 05:42, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

== Can I run? (Laptop) ==

Am I able to run Skyrim on my TOSHIBA, with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD4200 Series graphics card? (It's a laptop, the graphics card is already in there) {{uns|71.203.18.168|22:05, 9 January 2012}}

::ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series are outdated. Skyrim will lag, even in very low. [[User:Amras Anárion|Amras Anárion]], 00:17, 3 March 2012

== No mention of performance at 800x600 or 640x480 ==

This page is not that helpful since it seems to be dealing with different settings at 1080p+ vertical resolutions. Maybe only 10% of existing computers are capable of generating those sorts of images at reasonable frame rates. Many users report satisfying performance from average machines operating with medium settings at 800x600 or even 640x480 resolutions. Overstating the requirements will probably slow the adoption of this title needlessly. It should also be noted that Intel HD 3000 graphics should not be listed in only one column. Intel HD is not a GPU and does not have any cores. It is a hardware interface that allows the CPU to perform GPU-like functions but since it is CPU dependant the performance varies widely with different CPUs. This also means these systems give artificially high benchmark results compared to traditional systems with discrete CPUs and GPUs. [[Special:Contributions/68.149.247.130|68.149.247.130]] 05:50, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

:The Intel HD 3000 is a GPU with own cores! They are just weak and crappy compared to those of dedicated GPUs, but it is still a GPU (on the same die as a CPU). {{uns|77.3.111.189|23:55, 21 April 2012}}

== Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 ==

Will Skyrim run on a Nvidia GeForce FX 5500? {{Unsigned|86.173.42.125|10:54, 2 February 2012 (UTC)}}
:It might, however it wont run very well. If you have and older processor as well then it wont be a very enjoyable experience. I'd consider either going console for optimum game experience or a new computer. [[User:Thuraya Salaris|Thuraya Salaris]] 10:54, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

== Misplaced 6750? ==

I own a HD 6750 with 1GB Video RAM and can play the game on full settings and with the texture patch from the Nexus on 1366*768 and 1280*1024 without problems. Everything on max settings, but AA off. [[Special:Contributions/77.188.212.52|77.188.212.52]] 16:56, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

:Most of these are probably based on user experience, so if your experience differs, feel free to move it around. If any big debates break out, we'll deal with it then, but I think it's generally understood that these are only approximate guidelines anyway. – [[User:RobinHood70|'''Robin Hood''']]↝[[User_talk:RobinHood70|'''talk''']] 22:21, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

== Quadro 2000M example ==

Data point:

As of 1.4, Skyrim (slightly modded, but with no mods or DLC that add/remove/alter models or textures), runs smoothly on 'High' @ 1920x1080 w/ Quadro 2000M w. 2GB VRAM paired with a 2720QM, 8GB of RAM, Windows 7 x64, and Skyrim itself installed on a 160GB SSD. It would probably not be recommended to use high-resolution texture mods as memory bandwidth is a significant constraint. {{Unsigned|207.86.77.58|00:46, 11 February 2012 (UTC)}}

== Need help finding a good laptop/computer to run Skyrim. ==

I'm trying to get a good laptop or computer to run Skyrim so I can play it on the PC and was wondering what would be the best to use that isn't any extreme prices? I'm planning to look for one that is around $500 once I get the money. Note: I want a decent enough one. I don't want anything extreme.

Also, do I have to have internet access or can Steam still run without it? {{uns|172.130.223.249|01:38, 29 February 2012}}
:It will be difficult for $500. A low/mid-range laptop is not designed for gaming. A dedicated graphics card is required. A Radeon HD 6470M / 7450M or a NVidia 520M / 610M is the minimum for a decent (= Medium) graphics. Another solution: buy a used laptop. You can have an PC with 9600M GT (slightly more efficient than 520M) for $400.
: For Steam's DRM, Internet acces is required only for activation. After, you can put Steam on Offline mode, but Steam.exe will run inevitably with Skyrim for a legal copy. [[User:Amras Anárion|Amras Anárion]] 23:25, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

== More complete version in French Wiki ==

It is notified at the end of page : ''This page or section is incomplete. You can help by adding to it.''

To help you, I suggest you learn from the french version of Wiwiland's Wiki :
[http://wiwiki.wiwiland.net/index.php/Skyrim_:_Quel_PC_pour_jouer_%3F Skyrim : Quel PC pour jouer ?] (Skyrim - Which PC to play? - Use Google Translate if you don't understand French.)

The latest graphics cards are listed. Moreover, they are listed according to 8 ranks instead of 7 (for laptop) or 6 (for desktop). Laptop and Desktop cards are classified in parallel and in descending order, without be separating by brand (ie Nvidia or ATI).
* '''COVCQSNTPLD:''' ''Comment Osez-Vous Croire Que Skyrim Ne Tournera Pas Là-Dessus ?'' in French, so ''How dare you believe that Skyrim will not run on it?''. You say "Egad!!" to describe these extreme cards. Run the game heavily modded and tweaked on Ultra
* '''Very High-End:''' Run the Vanilla game on Ultra
* '''High-End:''' Run the game on High
* '''Mid-End:''' Run the game on Medium
* '''Low-End:''' Run the game on Low
* '''Very Low-End:''' Run the game on "Very Low" (Low with performance tweaks)
* '''Outdated:''': Unplayable
* '''Completely Outdated:''' you say "Rock Bottom" or "Fuggedaboutit" to describe these very obsolete cards. Unplayable above-the-hand; just good for Arena, Daggerfall or Morrowind.

To the top of this page, there are explanations about the influence of each element of the hardware on the perfomances and the unofficial specifications that are more accurate than those published by Bethesda. There has even the Optimal Configuration for a Skyrim heavily modded and tweaked. {{uns|Amras Anárion|22:24, 1 March 2012}}

== ATI Radeon 530v ==

I am aware that there are extensive lists on the page to identify what cards will run Skyrim, but for the life of me I cannot find what column my current ATI Radeon 530v would fall into. Perhaps I am simply overlooking something simple, or perhaps it is so outdated that no one put it on the list.

== Making this page more visible ==

There is a significant flaw in this page. I googled for a solution for hours and I found it in a lousy sidethread *somewhere*. I needed to update my drivers, which was fairly simple. Thus I daresay that this page is currently not serving its purpose, because it can not be found easily. Any ideas how to make it more visible for example on Google or users who just found their way on this site? --[[Special:Contributions/88.113.200.229|88.113.200.229]] 15:35, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

== Most Listed Spec Requirements Seem Exagerated ==

I'm probably late to the party with this post, but I wanted to put out here that you really *do not* need the latest, greatest gaming machine to play Skyrim on overall High settings.

My computer is 5 years old and has:

Intel Core Duo E6850 @3.0 GHz,
2 GB RAM,
8800 GTS 320 mb card,
Windows XP

I'm playing Skyrim with no lag and between 50 and 60 FPS on the following settings:
1280 by 1024 resolution (the highest my card will go),
AA off,
16 samples AF,
FXAA On,
Reflection on: Land, Trees, Water, Sky.
Distant Object Detail - High,
Texture Quality - High,
Radial Blur Quality Medium,
Shadow Detail - High,
Decal - High.
All ingame sliders set to about 2/3.

Granted, I don't place a premium on graphics, but as far as I'm concerned the game looks amazing!

I suspect my big saving grace is that I'm running XP which is far easier on the resources than its successors. {{uns|96.50.35.3|06:48, 3 July 2012}}

:In my opinion, your real saving grace is that you're playing at 1280x1024. The specs listed are for playing at either 1680x1050 or 1920x1080, which nowadays are both common resolutions. Also, if you have a physically smaller screen, then lower resolutions look better. Many people nowadays have 20"+ monitors, so playing in 1280x1024 is unacceptable, whereas it's perfectly fine on a smaller 15" screen. I'm assuming you're on a smaller screen, because the GeForce 8800 GTS can go up to 2560x1600. • [[User:Jak Atackka|JA]][[User talk:Jak Atackka|Talk]] 07:07, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

== Minimum System Requirements and game bugs and glitches ==

Test comp 1: 6 year old PC with XP Service Pack 3. Dual Core 2.8 ghz CPU. 4GB DDR2 Ram. NVidia G210 Graphics card with 1GB memory.
The graphics are nothing to write home about but the game is as stable as any high performance platform.

Test comp 2: New PC. Same as above but with a 2.6 ghz dual core and 4GB DDR3 Ram. The video card is the same but it has about 5 times the cooling capacity.

Test comp 1 runs the game better. Loads the game faster and has less lag in the controls. This computer has no other programs installed. Bare bones naked configuration used as a file server. No firewall, no anti-virus program. Comp 2 has the normal load of programs.

The same copy of Skyrim is running on both comps. Both comps use the same save games.

Obvious issues.
* BUGS. A LOT of the bugs mentioned in these Wiki pages are the product of inadequate system resources. I note a common bug happening on comp 2 I will load the game on comp 1 and see if the same thing happens. Without the TSR programs running and other demands made on the CPU such as the firewall, scripts execute and complete more often which seems to be a major cause of bugs.
* CRASHES. The game appears very stable. The publisher has done a fantastic job. Compare to Ultima 9 where you could set your clock by the number of crashes per hour. Crashes that happen predictably on one comp do the same on the other. However, some additional programs that are ran in the background on comp 2 can cause a LOT of crashes and lock ups: ANY program that makes it's own adjustments to the video card. This can be anything from Photoshop to a trivial screen grab utility. ANY program that makes priority interrupt system calls such as most anti-virus programs, firewalls, and the great game crasher, Skype(TM). The greatest game crasher of them all seems to come from 'Your updates are ready' from being connected to a network while the game is running.
* GRAPHICS GLITCHES. The wussy GeForce 210 graphics card is fully Skyrim capable but not all graphics cards, even with the same number are the same. Comp 2 is running the 210 Silent. It comes with no fan but a massive heat sink. The standard 210 comes with a small heat sink and a tiny little fan. Both cards had very similar graphics crud until I added a massive CPU cooler fan to the Silent version. Just that addition made a huge load of difference especially in the water glitter - failure to render properly.

The end results are, before reporting a bug or making an assumption of something is wrong with the game, check your system carefully. As example, a silly little program that came with a $12 USB camera caused some massive game and graphics issues. {{uns2|03:36, 17 August 2012|Sniffles}}

== Is your computer power supply adequate? ==

The power supply has a sticker on it claiming 550, 600, 650, even 750 or 800 watts. The output current for the voltages claims up to 30 amps available for 12 volts and so on. What is the truth of the matter? I got my tech friend curious and he took apart 22 power supplies rated at 500 watts up to 800 watts.
"With one exception, they were all liars. Each and every one was based upon the ATX 200 watt form factor with some having various additions but all but one having the same primary current configuration. Even the two that cost nearly $50 were just variations on the same theme. So I put the best of them into my computer. Running a Radeon HD 7770 on a quad core 4 ghz machine. Resolution 1920x1080, all graphics settings at max. I put the camera in third person mode and had the character run back and forth through the streets of Whiterun during the day. With the exception of the power supply that had a beefed up primary and dual secondary outputs, they all eventually overheated and caused the game to crash. Replacing the power supply with a certified 1200 watt unit and all the crashes ceased.
How can you tell if your power supply is the real thing or you were sold a bill of goods? Without taking it apart and knowledge of electronics, you can't. Outright lying or fudging the facts and figures seems to be the order of the day. But you can test it as I did. Feel the blow of the supply cooling fan as you run the game through a graphic intensive environment. If it quickly becomes warm and the game crashes, suspect the power supply. The only hint you get is in feeling the warm air. In technical terms, all power regulation degrades drastically as the silicon devices warm up. Just barely warm equates to the devices up at 100 C which equates to the device having dropped to 80 percent efficiency. A solid draft of warm air could easily mean 120-140 C or 60 to 40 percent of the designed capability."

"Watts ratings are misleading. Wattage means the total power a device consumes. All silicon devices are only 2/3rds efficient. So your 800 watt power supply can deliver at best, about 575 watts usable current. The output ratings are in current - amperes. But that 30 amps of 12 volts may not be what it seems. Is the supply capable of delivering all those amps simultaneously and continuously, or is it just that one voltage supply and that is only for a few seconds before the fuse blows?. The latter seems to be the case with all cheaper power supplies." [[User:Sniffles|Sniffles]] ([[User talk:Sniffles|talk]]) 00:07, 20 December 2013 (GMT)

:Interesting, but I see the problem: ''"Even the two that cost nearly $50..."'' You're using cheap, low-end power supplies, and I mean really low-end. Most of these are made by unknown manufacturers overseas, whose products are occasionally known to outright lie about their specs. That doesn't mean they aren't all bad, though - I know many people with generic PSUs (power supply units) that work wonderfully. It's just a gamble how well it will work.
:The other issue is that dropping random PSUs of various wattages into a power-hungry system is a really bad idea to begin with. If you're building your own computer, you should know that your system lives off of electricity, and giving it a powerful enough PSU to do the job is critical. There are a number of parts within a computer build that you can skimp a bit or choose the budget-friendly option, but a PSU is NOT one of these parts. You cannot cheap out on one, unless you want your computer components to die a lot faster (possibly in a large fireball). Also, the statement that an 800 watt PSU delivers 575 watts is incorrect; for more info, read [[wikipedia:80 Plus|here]].
:Overall, this analysis seems redundant other than in illustrating the importance of getting a PSU that isn't total crap and how elusive the results can be. The best way to solve this issue is to ''not'' buy a $30 crap PSU from some no-name company. Normally I don't support buying by brand, but in this case buying a brand-name PSU is very important, simply for the quality (aka, it won't explode and destroy your computer, like what happened to my friend). Of course, bigger is typically better, but there's no reason to buy a 1200-watt PSU if you're only driving 250-watt hardware, so if you are on a budget, do your research and figure out how large of a supply you need and buy what works for you. • [[User:Jak Atackka|JA]][[User talk:Jak Atackka|T]] 21:11, 20 December 2013 (GMT)
::"Excellent counterpoint. The one problem that isn't addressed is the flooding of the market with fake goods which is now the norm in most of the world. The money is spent on making these goods appear to be the real thing. This is inclusive of copied high quality printing of packages, shrink wrapping, and even UL or CE stickers. Seals, documentations, certificates, all can and are being faked. So you are very correct. Buy certified, gold seal, 80 plus, name brand, and your chances are better that you are getting the actual goods you paid for. But there is no guarantee. As I said, opening up the unit and knowing what you are looking at is the only assured way of getting what you paid for. The other aspect of this is the warranty. Even if it is certified for 5 years, this does not mean that company will replace damaged parts from an inadequate, faked, unit."

Millions of hits of reported counterfeit power supplies. PS (He was using the cheap power supplies as an example of how common faking claims of the PSUs are.)

So I asked him what power supply he uses. "I've got a retired 15 KVA isolation transformer with 8 output rails running 3 of my computers. Each rail supplies 24 volts to the regulators at about 120 amps. You could arc weld with it, I suppose."[[User:Sniffles|Sniffles]] ([[User talk:Sniffles|talk]]) 02:02, 21 December 2013 (GMT)

Sniffles: /* Is your computer power supply adequate? */

== Recommended Settings ==
Wondering if an edit needs made here. Under the recommended hardware it says Windows XP, and 32 or 64 bit. Considering the 4 GB recommended RAM, 32 bit systems won't cut it, as they max out RAM at around 3.3 GB even with a 4 GB stick installed. [[User:Nikomis|Nikomis]] 18:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

::Actually I was thinking about creating specific topic on UESP forum regarding Skyrim's technical support because I know that there will be massive flood of posts such as "my game won't play", "my game crushes" and so on. It should be pointed out that all x32 platforms read up or 4 GB of RAM, x64 up to 192 GB even (W7 Ultimate). --[[User:Arkhon|Arkhon]] 15:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

::::That's true but it is still for the ''recommended settings'' (it is obvious that better PC you have, better graphics you gonna get).

:::::The confusion here is that it says "4GB '''System''' RAM", not "4GB '''Usable''' RAM".

== Specs overkill? ==

It seems to me that these specs are all overkill (except video card recommendations). This game is using less than 1 GB of memory, any more than that is overkill (unless you are using main memory for video textures). As it stands I am using a 2.4 Core Duo and this game doesn't even come close to maxing out the CPU. [[Special:Contributions/65.175.218.213|65.175.218.213]] 15:51, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

::Agreed. For me the game consumes at max 600MB of RAM, even when changing iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes to something greater (e.g. 1800000000). Even with the last 1.3.10 patch which supposedly adds 4GB support, the game it's consuming 800MB at max. {{uns|81.203.48.65|09:48, 31 December 2011}}

==320M under 220 and 120M?==
I somehow refuse to believe the NVidia GeForce 320M is less powerful than both the 220M and the 120M. Is this a mistake?
I can also report the game properly playable on medium/high (low-res) on my 320M after installing a performance mod (d3d9.dll), but no smooth 30FPS. [[User:Wolfos|Wolfos]]
: According to the website notebookcheck.net, NVidia 420m (88th) > 220m (111st) > 120m (113rd) > 520m (117th) > 320m: (121st). The last four are in a handkerchief. Overall, 420M is on mid-range and the 220m, 120m, 520m and 320m in mid/low-range (more mid than low). There is an explanation: the 220M and 120M are a renaming of the 9600M GT, which was the top-middle range of his time. With the series 300M, Nvidia has returned to his old notation and a more logical nomenclature: the digit of ten indicates again the type of range. *20M is Low, *40M is Mid, *60M is High-Range.

==Resolution and CPU dependence ==
I just played Skyrim on high (with medium shadow detail) on an AMD A8-3500M processor with 6620G integrated graphics... I think these specs are a little overkill. Playing at 1360x768 requires alot less graphics power than 1080p, and I think this should be emphasized. Also, Skyrim's is funny about CPU usage: shadow detail requires alot of CPU, but other things don't. The game likes having more cores and uses them (Intel's 6 core processors at the same clocks as quad cores give better framerates) , but it generally maxes a single core on whatever rig I'm on. --[[Special:Contributions/68.90.9.1|68.90.9.1]] 22:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

== No mention of performance at 800x600 or 640x480 ==

This page is not that helpful since it seems to be dealing with different settings at 1080p+ vertical resolutions. Maybe only 10% of existing computers are capable of generating those sorts of images at reasonable frame rates. Many users report satisfying performance from average machines operating with medium settings at 800x600 or even 640x480 resolutions. Overstating the requirements will probably slow the adoption of this title needlessly. It should also be noted that Intel HD 3000 graphics should not be listed in only one column. Intel HD is not a GPU and does not have any cores. It is a hardware interface that allows the CPU to perform GPU-like functions but since it is CPU dependant the performance varies widely with different CPUs. This also means these systems give artificially high benchmark results compared to traditional systems with discrete CPUs and GPUs.

I'm trying to get a good laptop or computer to run Skyrim so I can play it on the PC and was wondering what would be the best to use that isn't any extreme prices?

Also, do I have to have internet access or can Steam still run without it? {{uns|172.130.223.249|01:38, 29 February 2012}}
:It will be difficult for $500. A low/mid-range laptop is not designed for gaming. A dedicated graphics card is required. A Radeon HD 6470M / 7450M or a NVidia 520M / 610M is the minimum for a decent (= Medium) graphics. Another solution: buy a used laptop. You can have an PC with 9600M GT (slightly more efficient than 520M) for $400.

== ATI Radeon 530v ==

I am aware that there are extensive lists on the page to identify what cards will run Skyrim, but for the life of me I cannot find what column my current ATI Radeon 530v would fall into. Perhaps I am simply overlooking something simple, or perhaps it is so outdated that no one put it on the list. I do not know, but if anyone could give me some feedback on this card I would be very appreciative. [[Special:Contributions/24.222.66.30|24.222.66.30]] 00:51, 7 April 2012 (UTC)Hephaestus

:On the French Wiki (see above), the Mobility Radeon HD 530v is classified '''Very Low-End'''. So you can run Skyrim with "Very Low" settings (Low with performance tweaks). I'll add it here in the appropriate place. [[User:Amras Anárion|Amras Anárion]] 23:12, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

This guy managed to get it running on an Alienware m11x, but also stresses the need to and provides information on how to "whitelist" the game: http://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Benchmarks.66057.0.html

== Most Listed Spec Requirements Seem Exagerated ==

I'm probably late to the party with this post, but I wanted to put out here that you really *do not* need the latest, greatest gaming machine to play Skyrim on overall High settings.

My computer is 5 years old and has:

Intel Core Duo E6850 @3.0 GHz,
2 GB RAM,
8800 GTS 320 mb card,
Windows XP

I'm playing Skyrim with no lag and between 50 and 60 FPS on the following settings:
1280 by 1024 resolution (the highest my card will go),
AA off,
16 samples AF,
FXAA On,
Reflection on: Land, Trees, Water, Sky.
Distant Object Detail - High,
Texture Quality - High,
Radial Blur Quality Medium,
Shadow Detail - High,
Decal - High.
All ingame sliders set to about 2/3.

Granted, I don't place a premium on graphics, but as far as I'm concerned the game looks amazing!

I suspect my big saving grace is that I'm running XP which is far easier on the resources than its successors. {{uns|96.50.35.3|06:48, 3 July 2012}}

:In my opinion, your real saving grace is that you're playing at 1280x1024. The specs listed are for playing at either 1680x1050 or 1920x1080, which nowadays are both common resolutions. Also, if you have a physically smaller screen, then lower resolutions look better. Many people nowadays have 20"+ monitors, so playing in 1280x1024 is unacceptable, whereas it's perfectly fine on a smaller 15" screen. I'm assuming you're on a smaller screen, because the GeForce 8800 GTS can go up to 2560x1600. • [[User:Jak Atackka|JA]][[User talk:Jak Atackka|Talk]] 07:07, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

== Minimum System Requirements and game bugs and glitches ==

Test comp 1: 6 year old PC with XP Service Pack 3. Dual Core 2.8 ghz CPU. 4GB DDR2 Ram. NVidia G210 Graphics card with 1GB memory.
The graphics are nothing to write home about but the game is as stable as any high performance platform.

Test comp 2: New PC. Same as above but with a 2.6 ghz dual core and 4GB DDR3 Ram. The video card is the same but it has about 5 times the cooling capacity.

Test comp 1 runs the game better. Loads the game faster and has less lag in the controls. This computer has no other programs installed. Bare bones naked configuration used as a file server. No firewall, no anti-virus program. Comp 2 has the normal load of programs.

The same copy of Skyrim is running on both comps. Both comps use the same save games.

Obvious issues.
* BUGS. A LOT of the bugs mentioned in these Wiki pages are the product of inadequate system resources. I note a common bug happening on comp 2 I will load the game on comp 1 and see if the same thing happens. Without the TSR programs running and other demands made on the CPU such as the firewall, scripts execute and complete more often which seems to be a major cause of bugs.
* CRASHES. The game appears very stable. The publisher has done a fantastic job. Compare to Ultima 9 where you could set your clock by the number of crashes per hour. Crashes that happen predictably on one comp do the same on the other. However, some additional programs that are ran in the background on comp 2 can cause a LOT of crashes and lock ups: ANY program that makes it's own adjustments to the video card. This can be anything from Photoshop to a trivial screen grab utility. ANY program that makes priority interrupt system calls such as most anti-virus programs, firewalls, and the great game crasher, Skype(TM). The greatest game crasher of them all seems to come from 'Your updates are ready' from being connected to a network while the game is running.
* GRAPHICS GLITCHES. The wussy GeForce 210 graphics card is fully Skyrim capable but not all graphics cards, even with the same number are the same. Comp 2 is running the 210 Silent. It comes with no fan but a massive heat sink. The standard 210 comes with a small heat sink and a tiny little fan. Both cards had very similar graphics crud until I added a massive CPU cooler fan to the Silent version. Just that addition made a huge load of difference especially in the water glitter - failure to render properly.

The end results are, before reporting a bug or making an assumption of something is wrong with the game, check your system carefully. As example, a silly little program that came with a $12 USB camera caused some massive game and graphics issues. {{uns2|03:36, 17 August 2012|Sniffles}}

== Is your computer power supply adequate? ==

The power supply has a sticker on it claiming 550, 600, 650, even 750 or 800 watts. The output current for the voltages claims up to 30 amps available for 12 volts and so on. What is the truth of the matter? I got my tech friend curious and he took apart 22 power supplies rated at 500 watts up to 800 watts.
"With one exception, they were all liars. Each and every one was based upon the ATX 200 watt form factor with some having various additions but all but one having the same primary current configuration. Even the two that cost nearly $50 were just variations on the same theme. So I put the best of them into my computer. Running a Radeon HD 7770 on a quad core 4 ghz machine. Resolution 1920x1080, all graphics settings at max. I put the camera in third person mode and had the character run back and forth through the streets of Whiterun during the day. With the exception of the power supply that had a beefed up primary and dual secondary outputs, they all eventually overheated and caused the game to crash. Replacing the power supply with a certified 1200 watt unit and all the crashes ceased.
How can you tell if your power supply is the real thing or you were sold a bill of goods? Without taking it apart and knowledge of electronics, you can't. Outright lying or fudging the facts and figures seems to be the order of the day. But you can test it as I did. Feel the blow of the supply cooling fan as you run the game through a graphic intensive environment. If it quickly becomes warm and the game crashes, suspect the power supply. The only hint you get is in feeling the warm air. In technical terms, all power regulation degrades drastically as the silicon devices warm up. Just barely warm equates to the devices up at 100 C which equates to the device having dropped to 80 percent efficiency. A solid draft of warm air could easily mean 120-140 C or 60 to 40 percent of the designed capability."

"Watts ratings are misleading. Wattage means the total power a device consumes. All silicon devices are only 2/3rds efficient. So your 800 watt power supply can deliver at best, about 575 watts usable current. The output ratings are in current - amperes. But that 30 amps of 12 volts may not be what it seems. Is the supply capable of delivering all those amps simultaneously and continuously, or is it just that one voltage supply and that is only for a few seconds before the fuse blows?. The latter seems to be the case with all cheaper power supplies." [[User:Sniffles|Sniffles]] ([[User talk:Sniffles|talk]]) 00:07, 20 December 2013 (GMT)

:Interesting, but I see the problem: ''"Even the two that cost nearly $50..."'' You're using cheap, low-end power supplies, and I mean really low-end. Most of these are made by unknown manufacturers overseas, whose products are occasionally known to outright lie about their specs. That doesn't mean they aren't all bad, though - I know many people with generic PSUs (power supply units) that work wonderfully. It's just a gamble how well it will work.
:The other issue is that dropping random PSUs of various wattages into a power-hungry system is a really bad idea to begin with. If you're building your own computer, you should know that your system lives off of electricity, and giving it a powerful enough PSU to do the job is critical. There are a number of parts within a computer build that you can skimp a bit or choose the budget-friendly option, but a PSU is NOT one of these parts. You cannot cheap out on one, unless you want your computer components to die a lot faster (possibly in a large fireball). Also, the statement that an 800 watt PSU delivers 575 watts is incorrect; for more info, read [[wikipedia:80 Plus|here]].
:Overall, this analysis seems redundant other than in illustrating the importance of getting a PSU that isn't total crap and how elusive the results can be. The best way to solve this issue is to ''not'' buy a $30 crap PSU from some no-name company. Normally I don't support buying by brand, but in this case buying a brand-name PSU is very important, simply for the quality (aka, it won't explode and destroy your computer, like what happened to my friend). Of course, bigger is typically better, but there's no reason to buy a 1200-watt PSU if you're only driving 250-watt hardware, so if you are on a budget, do your research and figure out how large of a supply you need and buy what works for you. • [[User:Jak Atackka|JA]][[User talk:Jak Atackka|T]] 21:11, 20 December 2013 (GMT)
::"Excellent counterpoint. The one problem that isn't addressed is the flooding of the market with fake goods which is now the norm in most of the world. The money is spent on making these goods appear to be the real thing. This is inclusive of copied high quality printing of packages, shrink wrapping, and even UL or CE stickers. Seals, documentations, certificates, all can and are being faked. So you are very correct. Buy certified, gold seal, 80 plus, name brand, and your chances are better that you are getting the actual goods you paid for. But there is no guarantee. As I said, opening up the unit and knowing what you are looking at is the only assured way of getting what you paid for. The other aspect of this is the warranty. Even if it is certified for 5 years, this does not mean that company will replace damaged parts from an inadequate, faked, unit."

Sniffles: /* Is your computer power supply adequate? */

== Recommended Settings ==
Wondering if an edit needs made here. Under the recommended hardware it says Windows XP, and 32 or 64 bit. Considering the 4 GB recommended RAM, 32 bit systems won't cut it, as they max out RAM at around 3.3 GB even with a 4 GB stick installed. [[User:Nikomis|Nikomis]] 18:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

::Actually I was thinking about creating specific topic on UESP forum regarding Skyrim's technical support because I know that there will be massive flood of posts such as "my game won't play", "my game crushes" and so on. It should be pointed out that all x32 platforms read up or 4 GB of RAM, x64 up to 192 GB even (W7 Ultimate). --[[User:Arkhon|Arkhon]] 15:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

::::That's true but it is still for the ''recommended settings'' (it is obvious that better PC you have, better graphics you gonna get).

== Specs overkill? ==

It seems to me that these specs are all overkill (except video card recommendations). This game is using less than 1 GB of memory, any more than that is overkill (unless you are using main memory for video textures). As it stands I am using a 2.4 Core Duo and this game doesn't even come close to maxing out the CPU. [[Special:Contributions/65.175.218.213|65.175.218.213]] 15:51, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

==320M under 220 and 120M?==
I somehow refuse to believe the NVidia GeForce 320M is less powerful than both the 220M and the 120M. Is this a mistake?
I can also report the game properly playable on medium/high (low-res) on my 320M after installing a performance mod (d3d9.dll), but no smooth 30FPS. [[User:Wolfos|Wolfos]]
: According to the website notebookcheck.net, NVidia 420m (88th) > 220m (111st) > 120m (113rd) > 520m (117th) > 320m: (121st). The last four are in a handkerchief. Overall, 420M is on mid-range and the 220m, 120m, 520m and 320m in mid/low-range (more mid than low). There is an explanation: the 220M and 120M are a renaming of the 9600M GT, which was the top-middle range of his time. With the series 300M, Nvidia has returned to his old notation and a more logical nomenclature: the digit of ten indicates again the type of range. *20M is Low, *40M is Mid, *60M is High-Range.

I just played Skyrim on high (with medium shadow detail) on an AMD A8-3500M processor with 6620G integrated graphics... I think these specs are a little overkill. Playing at 1360x768 requires alot less graphics power than 1080p, and I think this should be emphasized. Also, Skyrim's is funny about CPU usage: shadow detail requires alot of CPU, but other things don't. The game likes having more cores and uses them (Intel's 6 core processors at the same clocks as quad cores give better framerates) , but it generally maxes a single core on whatever rig I'm on. --[[Special:Contributions/68.90.9.1|68.90.9.1]] 22:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

== No mention of performance at 800x600 or 640x480 ==

This page is not that helpful since it seems to be dealing with different settings at 1080p+ vertical resolutions. Maybe only 10% of existing computers are capable of generating those sorts of images at reasonable frame rates. Many users report satisfying performance from average machines operating with medium settings at 800x600 or even 640x480 resolutions. Overstating the requirements will probably slow the adoption of this title needlessly. It should also be noted that Intel HD 3000 graphics should not be listed in only one column. Intel HD is not a GPU and does not have any cores. It is a hardware interface that allows the CPU to perform GPU-like functions but since it is CPU dependant the performance varies widely with different CPUs. This also means these systems give artificially high benchmark results compared to traditional systems with discrete CPUs and GPUs.

Also, do I have to have internet access or can Steam still run without it? {{uns|172.130.223.249|01:38, 29 February 2012}}
:It will be difficult for $500. A low/mid-range laptop is not designed for gaming. A dedicated graphics card is required. A Radeon HD 6470M / 7450M or a NVidia 520M / 610M is the minimum for a decent (= Medium) graphics. Another solution: buy a used laptop. You can have an PC with 9600M GT (slightly more efficient than 520M) for $400.
: For Steam's DRM, Internet acces is required only for activation. After, you can put Steam on Offline mode, but Steam.exe will run inevitably with Skyrim for a legal copy. [[User:Amras Anárion|Amras Anárion]] 23:25, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L755 series laptop (one that was made early last year, I can't find the exact number I have...) for $400 or $500, at $100 off normal price, in November. Google shows me some at $400-ish right now. It auto-detects Medium settings. --[[User:Velyanthe|Velyanthe]] 00:15, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

== More complete version in French Wiki ==

It is notified at the end of page : ''This page or section is incomplete. You can help by adding to it.''

To help you, I suggest you learn from the french version of Wiwiland's Wiki :
[http://wiwiki.wiwiland.net/index.php/Skyrim_:_Quel_PC_pour_jouer_%3F Skyrim : Quel PC pour jouer ?] (Skyrim - Which PC to play? - Use Google Translate if you don't understand French.)

The latest graphics cards are listed. Moreover, they are listed according to 8 ranks instead of 7 (for laptop) or 6 (for desktop). Laptop and Desktop cards are classified in parallel and in descending order, without be separating by brand (ie Nvidia or ATI).
* '''COVCQSNTPLD:''' ''Comment Osez-Vous Croire Que Skyrim Ne Tournera Pas Là-Dessus ?'' in French, so ''How dare you believe that Skyrim will not run on it?''. You say "Egad!!" to describe these extreme cards. Run the game heavily modded and tweaked on Ultra
* '''Very High-End:''' Run the Vanilla game on Ultra
* '''High-End:''' Run the game on High
* '''Mid-End:''' Run the game on Medium
* '''Low-End:''' Run the game on Low
* '''Very Low-End:''' Run the game on "Very Low" (Low with performance tweaks)
* '''Outdated:''': Unplayable
* '''Completely Outdated:''' you say "Rock Bottom" or "Fuggedaboutit" to describe these very obsolete cards. Unplayable above-the-hand; just good for Arena, Daggerfall or Morrowind.

To the top of this page, there are explanations about the influence of each element of the hardware on the perfomances and the unofficial specifications that are more accurate than those published by Bethesda. There has even the Optimal Configuration for a Skyrim heavily modded and tweaked. {{uns|Amras Anárion|22:24, 1 March 2012}}

== ATI Radeon 530v ==

I am aware that there are extensive lists on the page to identify what cards will run Skyrim, but for the life of me I cannot find what column my current ATI Radeon 530v would fall into. Perhaps I am simply overlooking something simple, or perhaps it is so outdated that no one put it on the list. I do not know, but if anyone could give me some feedback on this card I would be very appreciative. [[Special:Contributions/24.222.66.30|24.222.66.30]] 00:51, 7 April 2012 (UTC)Hephaestus

:On the French Wiki (see above), the Mobility Radeon HD 530v is classified '''Very Low-End'''. So you can run Skyrim with "Very Low" settings (Low with performance tweaks). I'll add it here in the appropriate place. [[User:Amras Anárion|Amras Anárion]] 23:12, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Ahh, thank you. I already sort of knew that it was a lost cause, but I had to ask anyway. Thank you for your response, buon signore. [[Special:Contributions/24.222.66.30|24.222.66.30]] 16:58, 30 April 2012 (UTC)Hephaestus

== Great links regarding laptops/notebooks (a great site for laptop/notebook video cards, and how to whitelist Skyrim). ==

Here's a complete list of video cards in laptops and their ability to play Skyrim in different settings:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Benchmarks.66057.0.html

This guy managed to get it running on an Alienware m11x, but also stresses the need to and provides information on how to "whitelist" the game: http://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Benchmarks.66057.0.html

I hope this information comes in handy. It might even be worth considering putting it on the actual page.

== Can this setup run it? ==

I'm looking to buy a computer that can play Skyrim on all maxed settings, ENB and a ton of mods, and didn't know where else to go to find out if the one below will work. So, can anyone tell me how the game will play with the hardware below, and what I could upgrade to make the game play like I want it to?

AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition 2.5Ghz Quad-Core Processor,
ASUS M3A78-T Motherboard,
4GB RAM,
500GB Western Digital hard drive,
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD7950 3GB {{uns2|02:12, 9 May 2012|69.244.28.254}}

: Your answer is here: [http://wiwiki.wiwiland.net/index.php/Skyrim_:_Quel_PC_pour_jouer_%3F#Configuration_optimale_pour_un_jeu_lourdement_modd.C3.A9_et_tweak.C3.A9 Skyrim - Optimal configuration for a game heavily modded and tweaked] which shows the following specifications:
: • '''OS:''' Windows 7 64 bits
: • '''Processor:''' Intel Quad-Core at 3 GHz or higher (3,4 GHz for AMD).
: • '''Graphics Card:''' Certified “[http://wiwiki.wiwiland.net/index.php/Skyrim_:_Quel_PC_pour_jouer_%3F#COVCQSNTPLD_.28Comment_Osez-Vous_Croire_Que_Skyrim_Ne_Tournera_Pas_L.C3.A0-Dessus_.3F.29 COVCQSNTPLD]” by the Community of Elder Scrolls, that is to say a GeForce GTX 560, GTX 580M, AMD HD 6870, AMD HD 6970M or higher with ideally 1.5 GB GDDR5 or more.
: • '''RAM:''' 6 GB or more
: • '''Hard drive:''' 30 GB free space on a very fast storage device (Hybrid SSD, RAID 0, VelociRaptor or SSD) in view of countless mods, patches, DLC and Co.

: Your Graphic Card is widely ''Egad!!'' (COVCQSNTPLD), but you memory and especially your processor will not hold the pace. This configuration will be clearly CPU-limited. Your hard drive is also weak for a Skyrim heavily modded (excepted if it's a Western Digital Caviar Black). 
: Target 8 GB RAM and a processor Intel i5 - i7 Sandy / Ivy Bridge, or an AMD FX with a high end compatible motherboard (check the socket). As for the SSD (or equivalent), it is not mandatory but it's strongly recommended.

== Making this page more visible ==

There is a significant flaw in this page. I googled for a solution for hours and I found it in a lousy sidethread *somewhere*. I needed to update my drivers, which was fairly simple. Thus I daresay that this page is currently not serving its purpose, because it can not be found easily. Any ideas how to make it more visible for example on Google or users who just found their way on this site? --[[Special:Contributions/88.113.200.229|88.113.200.229]] 15:35, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
:It's already on the [[Skyrim:Skyrim#Technical_information|main Skyrim page]], which is about as visible as possible while keeping it in an appropriate place. We can't do anything with Google to make it more visible. As for your particular need for updated drivers, that's not uncommon for PC games in general.

== Most Listed Spec Requirements Seem Exagerated ==

I'm probably late to the party with this post, but I wanted to put out here that you really *do not* need the latest, greatest gaming machine to play Skyrim on overall High settings.

My computer is 5 years old and has:

Intel Core Duo E6850 @3.0 GHz,
2 GB RAM,
8800 GTS 320 mb card,
Windows XP

I'm playing Skyrim with no lag and between 50 and 60 FPS on the following settings:
1280 by 1024 resolution (the highest my card will go),
AA off,
16 samples AF,
FXAA On,
Reflection on: Land, Trees, Water, Sky.
Distant Object Detail - High,
Texture Quality - High,
Radial Blur Quality Medium,
Shadow Detail - High,
Decal - High.
All ingame sliders set to about 2/3.

Granted, I don't place a premium on graphics, but as far as I'm concerned the game looks amazing!

I suspect my big saving grace is that I'm running XP which is far easier on the resources than its successors. {{uns|96.50.35.3|06:48, 3 July 2012}}

:In my opinion, your real saving grace is that you're playing at 1280x1024. The specs listed are for playing at either 1680x1050 or 1920x1080, which nowadays are both common resolutions. Also, if you have a physically smaller screen, then lower resolutions look better. Many people nowadays have 20"+ monitors, so playing in 1280x1024 is unacceptable, whereas it's perfectly fine on a smaller 15" screen. I'm assuming you're on a smaller screen, because the GeForce 8800 GTS can go up to 2560x1600. • [[User:Jak Atackka|JA]][[User talk:Jak Atackka|Talk]] 07:07, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

== Minimum System Requirements and game bugs and glitches ==

Test comp 1: 6 year old PC with XP Service Pack 3. Dual Core 2.8 ghz CPU. 4GB DDR2 Ram. NVidia G210 Graphics card with 1GB memory.
The graphics are nothing to write home about but the game is as stable as any high performance platform.

Test comp 2: New PC. Same as above but with a 2.6 ghz dual core and 4GB DDR3 Ram. The video card is the same but it has about 5 times the cooling capacity.

Test comp 1 runs the game better. Loads the game faster and has less lag in the controls. This computer has no other programs installed. Bare bones naked configuration used as a file server. No firewall, no anti-virus program. Comp 2 has the normal load of programs.

The same copy of Skyrim is running on both comps. Both comps use the same save games.

Obvious issues.
* BUGS. A LOT of the bugs mentioned in these Wiki pages are the product of inadequate system resources. I note a common bug happening on comp 2 I will load the game on comp 1 and see if the same thing happens. Without the TSR programs running and other demands made on the CPU such as the firewall, scripts execute and complete more often which seems to be a major cause of bugs.
* CRASHES. The game appears very stable. The publisher has done a fantastic job. Compare to Ultima 9 where you could set your clock by the number of crashes per hour. Crashes that happen predictably on one comp do the same on the other. However, some additional programs that are ran in the background on comp 2 can cause a LOT of crashes and lock ups: ANY program that makes it's own adjustments to the video card. This can be anything from Photoshop to a trivial screen grab utility. ANY program that makes priority interrupt system calls such as most anti-virus programs, firewalls, and the great game crasher, Skype(TM). The greatest game crasher of them all seems to come from 'Your updates are ready' from being connected to a network while the game is running.
* GRAPHICS GLITCHES. The wussy GeForce 210 graphics card is fully Skyrim capable but not all graphics cards, even with the same number are the same. Comp 2 is running the 210 Silent. It comes with no fan but a massive heat sink. The standard 210 comes with a small heat sink and a tiny little fan. Both cards had very similar graphics crud until I added a massive CPU cooler fan to the Silent version. Just that addition made a huge load of difference especially in the water glitter - failure to render properly.

The end results are, before reporting a bug or making an assumption of something is wrong with the game, check your system carefully. As example, a silly little program that came with a $12 USB camera caused some massive game and graphics issues. {{uns2|03:36, 17 August 2012|Sniffles}}

== Is your computer power supply adequate? ==

The power supply has a sticker on it claiming 550, 600, 650, even 750 or 800 watts. The output current for the voltages claims up to 30 amps available for 12 volts and so on. What is the truth of the matter? I got my tech friend curious and he took apart 22 power supplies rated at 500 watts up to 800 watts.
"With one exception, they were all liars. Each and every one was based upon the ATX 200 watt form factor with some having various additions but all but one having the same primary current configuration. Even the two that cost nearly $50 were just variations on the same theme. So I put the best of them into my computer. Running a Radeon HD 7770 on a quad core 4 ghz machine. Resolution 1920x1080, all graphics settings at max. I put the camera in third person mode and had the character run back and forth through the streets of Whiterun during the day. With the exception of the power supply that had a beefed up primary and dual secondary outputs, they all eventually overheated and caused the game to crash. Replacing the power supply with a certified 1200 watt unit and all the crashes ceased.
How can you tell if your power supply is the real thing or you were sold a bill of goods? Without taking it apart and knowledge of electronics, you can't. Outright lying or fudging the facts and figures seems to be the order of the day. But you can test it as I did. Feel the blow of the supply cooling fan as you run the game through a graphic intensive environment. If it quickly becomes warm and the game crashes, suspect the power supply. The only hint you get is in feeling the warm air. In technical terms, all power regulation degrades drastically as the silicon devices warm up. Just barely warm equates to the devices up at 100 C which equates to the device having dropped to 80 percent efficiency. A solid draft of warm air could easily mean 120-140 C or 60 to 40 percent of the designed capability."

"Watts ratings are misleading. Wattage means the total power a device consumes. All silicon devices are only 2/3rds efficient. So your 800 watt power supply can deliver at best, about 575 watts usable current. The output ratings are in current - amperes. But that 30 amps of 12 volts may not be what it seems. Is the supply capable of delivering all those amps simultaneously and continuously, or is it just that one voltage supply and that is only for a few seconds before the fuse blows?. The latter seems to be the case with all cheaper power supplies." [[User:Sniffles|Sniffles]] ([[User talk:Sniffles|talk]]) 00:07, 20 December 2013 (GMT)

:Interesting, but I see the problem: ''"Even the two that cost nearly $50..."'' You're using cheap, low-end power supplies, and I mean really low-end. Most of these are made by unknown manufacturers overseas, whose products are occasionally known to outright lie about their specs. That doesn't mean they aren't all bad, though - I know many people with generic PSUs (power supply units) that work wonderfully. It's just a gamble how well it will work.
:The other issue is that dropping random PSUs of various wattages into a power-hungry system is a really bad idea to begin with. If you're building your own computer, you should know that your system lives off of electricity, and giving it a powerful enough PSU to do the job is critical. There are a number of parts within a computer build that you can skimp a bit or choose the budget-friendly option, but a PSU is NOT one of these parts. You cannot cheap out on one, unless you want your computer components to die a lot faster (possibly in a large fireball). Also, the statement that an 800 watt PSU delivers 575 watts is incorrect; for more info, read [[wikipedia:80 Plus|here]].
:Overall, this analysis seems redundant other than in illustrating the importance of getting a PSU that isn't total crap and how elusive the results can be. The best way to solve this issue is to ''not'' buy a $30 crap PSU from some no-name company. Normally I don't support buying by brand, but in this case buying a brand-name PSU is very important, simply for the quality (aka, it won't explode and destroy your computer, like what happened to my friend). Of course, bigger is typically better, but there's no reason to buy a 1200-watt PSU if you're only driving 250-watt hardware, so if you are on a budget, do your research and figure out how large of a supply you need and buy what works for you. • [[User:Jak Atackka|JA]][[User talk:Jak Atackka|T]] 21:11, 20 December 2013 (GMT)
::"Excellent counterpoint. The one problem that isn't addressed is the flooding of the market with fake goods which is now the norm in most of the world. The money is spent on making these goods appear to be the real thing. This is inclusive of copied high quality printing of packages, shrink wrapping, and even UL or CE stickers. Seals, documentations, certificates, all can and are being faked. So you are very correct. Buy certified, gold seal, 80 plus, name brand, and your chances are better that you are getting the actual goods you paid for. But there is no guarantee. As I said, opening up the unit and knowing what you are looking at is the only assured way of getting what you paid for. The other aspect of this is the warranty. Even if it is certified for 5 years, this does not mean that company will replace damaged parts from an inadequate, faked, unit."
