Skyrim is a game that needs no introduction. It’s one of the all-time greats, and a remake or remaster has yet to appear. If Oblivion had a remaster that was successful, then why not Skyrim? That being said, if you play the game a million times, maybe you want to try some cheats for Skyrim.
How to use Cheats
When you’re in the game, simply press the console command, which is usually the ~ sign. That button is located at the number one and above the TAB key. When the console prompt opens up, just type any of the cheat codes listed below. Put a number on any of those that require it, and all cheats should be typed in the correct spacing and format.
Is using cheats bad?
Not necessarily, since Skyrim is a single-player game. Some cheats may prevent Achievements, but we can’t determine which ones do. Just remember that these cheats will only work for PC and not for consoles.
It’s also important to note that some cheats may break some quests. Be sure to have separate save slots if you’re uneasy or unsure. That way, you can just load the game again before you screwed it up, so happy cheating.
