Arethere any cheat codes (certain combinations of buttons, etc.) on the PS4 edition of Skyrim? I was hoping there might be a code that gives me a jump boost or reduced fall damage, as I'm currently stuck on the side of a mountain with no way up or down.
The best Skyrim cheats can tailor your experience in Tamriel to your liking. Skyrim console commands can also help you in all manner of ways and change up your experience, from spawning items to levelling up skills and much more. While it takes some doing to discover all Skyrim has to offer over, we've had plenty of time to get lost in the adventures of the Dragonborn over the last decade. Happily, Skyrim cheats are also a great way of breathing renewed life into the game in fun ways.
No matter whether you're playing an older version of the game or the more recent Skyrim Anniversary Edition, you can only use Skyrim cheats via PC console commands. So, if you're on Switch, Xbox, or PlayStation, you won't be able to use them. But, if you're looking to shake things up a bit on other platforms, it can be worth checking out our roundup of the best Skyrim mods.
You can enter multiple codes at a time and stack up various effects, just be wary of breaking things - using some of these codes (especially in combination) can cause glitches, mess up ongoing storylines or saves, or crash your game entirely, so make sure you create a back up save and keep it separate before you start playing around - otherwise you may find you've permanently broken your progress, and nobody wants to deal with that in a game the size of Skyrim. Achievements will also be disabled as soon as you start entering these codes, so unfortunately you won't be able to cheat your way to completing any challenges.
With all those Skyrim cheats and console commands you should have plenty to new things to experiment with, or completely new ways to experience things. Maybe you just want to get through parts of the game you might have played multiple times before. Whatever you want to do there's a command here somewhere to do it. If you have any trouble with any of these cheats, or just want to see what else you can do, just type help in the console command screen and follow the instructions.
Y'all know that Phat cheats... a lot! I'm always talking about it and get a lot of requests to share what mods I use. So, here they are... all that are currently in my active LO. These all work together very well. Some you will see are not entirely cheats in and of themselves, they just have a few cheaty aspects or fall into that ever grey area of debate as to whether they are cheats or not. The way I figure it... I played the game as it was intended to be played, now I play the game how I want to play it, heavily modded! I inserted a brief description by each mod to let you know what it does. Please feel free to post your favorite cheats here as well As time allows, I'll post more about the different mods I've tried and why I love them or why they left my LO.
Earring of Godly Unburden
Adds 100,000 carry weight capacity when equipped. Earring of Unburden is the item name in game and can be console summoned or purchased from general goods merchants. So, hit Lucan in RW straight out of Helgen, any general goods shop or just "make" one with the command mode.
Infinite Shouts (No Cooldown)
Two versions, one requires using a shrine of Talos and works on the same shrine timer before needing to be refreshed and one that only requires an Amulet of Talos be worn to effect the ability to shout like the draugr, hard, fast and continuously! I use the amulet version.
Perk Point Book
Adds "Ancient Text" as a book title in your inventory. Open to read as many times as desired to receive your choice of 1, 3, 5 or 10 perk points each time the book is opened. Super easy to use, unlimited free perk points. Book uses the Oghma Infinium model.
Perk Points To Dragon Souls
Whoops! I took too many perk points from Perk Point Book! I have more perks than I can spend now! Oh my! Whatever shall I do? Well... I just installed this mod and turn them all into dragon souls. I'm rarely short on dragon souls. But, this mod just works too well to pass it by
Cheating Chests
Some in Riverwood and more in WR. Tons of stuff. Multiple chests containing all sorts of supplies. For more on the Cheating and Crafting Supplies Chests see my next post below...
Cheating Crafting and Enchanting Equipment
Places a barrel in Riverwood containing eight amulets that buff enchanting and alchemy. There are two each of 2X, 5X, 25X and the ever ridiculous 10,000X. I use the 5X which adds 500 to my enchanting skill for a total of 600 and all alchemy bottles are increased in potency and value by 500%. That's more than plenty.
Archery Tweaks
All arrows travel faster and more realistically, works on friendlies and enemies alike. Least cheaty of all my cheats. More of an immersion mod IMHO, Adella disagrees. It also eliminated the enemy's Matrix style dodging. They can and do still dodge, just a side step or a head bob instead of instantly appearing six feet to either side of where they were when you released the arrow. How far do the arrows fly? Last play I cleared Valtheim Towers without entering either tower. I just stood on the path (just into the grass a bit) and rained down hellfire on those bandits! 100% KIA. Never set foot inside. Took me a few extra arrows, a few genuine misses and even more "bait" shots to draw them out. But, the best shot there was hitting the archer on the far bank. I was just trying to get close enough to draw him out on the bridge where I knew I could hit him when my arrow skewered him center mass. Now that was a fine shot! But, I couldn't have made that without Archery Tweaks. Vanilla arrow physics barely make it to midway across the bridge. IRL, you bet your sweet bippy that old Phat can make a shot like that. So, Archery Tweaks is always installed.
Faster Bow Draw
Just what is says, faster bow draw speed. Up to the basic 15 starting skill the mod adds a 1.5X multiplier that get progressively faster as you level up to 4X normal speed at archery skill 100. It also allows for any other bonuses like the speed and weight enhancements Nico puts on all his custom bows, shout weapon speed modifiers, Zephyr, vanilla bow draw speed perk and any other bow speed enhancements. Everything stacks. This actually make the bow draw closer to normal speed. But, I don't think any human can nock an arrow quite that fast... Legolas... Maybe... Hahaha
Skyrim Unlimited Rings and Amulets SSE
How to make Steven Tyler say, "Wow! That's a lotta rings, man!" Hahaha Wear as many rings and amulets as you like. No fair using duplicates. You can have more than one ring with the same enchantment(s) as long as it's a different ring or amulet model. I have 30 different enchantments on about 18 different vanilla rings and amulets, each one a different model of jewelry, i.e. gold ring, gold amulet, silver ring, silver amulet and so on through all the various items. Then add Amulet of Talos, Dibella and every other piece I come across that adds at least 20% bonus to something or other and we put that on too. After a while I have so many that I have to start dropping some just to keep my inventory straight. So, even Phat has limits. Hahaha But, this is the most flexible of all my cheats. Need more power? Just add some more jewelry. Getting bored of one hit kills? Peel off a few items. You can even change it out mid-combat on the fly.
Unlimited Enchantment Mod
This is how I load up on so many enchants on everything; thirty on jewelry, fifteen on the body, eleven on headgear, a dozen each on boots and gloves... by the time I add in all the accessory items in my apparel mashups, I have a few hundred enchantments equipped but can drop back as far as zero at anytime just by changing apparel.
Amazing Follower Tweaks SE
Travel with up to seven followers at once, realign, customize and boost all their stats and skills, set their behavior and a lot more. This mod is not necessarily a cheat as it can be used with only one follower to great effect. But, it has some seriously cheaty features and is a must have for me since I first tried it. I will not play without it.
Alternate Start - Live Another Life - SSE
A necessity for testing new mods. It has some cheaty options like starting out owning a home. But, there are more challenging starts too. I consider this one a utility mod with a few cheaty options. Thank you Arthmoor
Staff of Shalidor
Some player home contain cheats... this home, however, is a cheat. It's an eight weight staff that is a fairly powerful shock staff like thunderbolt with master spell level damage. It uses a recolored staff of Magnus model and looks great. But, it's secret lay inside the head of the staff, an interdimensional player home with full basic crafting; forge, tanning, armor bench, grind wheel, alchemy, enchanting, cookpot, a bed and nearly unlimited storage. You'll know you put too many items in it when your trade and loot menus start to lag. If/when that happens, just make a pitstop in your favorite stash house and drop off the overflow. But, that usually only happens when the item count goes to far into the millions of items. I can stash several hundred thousand items in there and never miss a beat. So, overencumbered mid dungeon? Staff of Shalidor... Need to temper and enchant an item you just found in the middle of no and where? Staff of Shalidor... Need a meal or a nap? Staff of Shalidor... Full service player home... on a steek. Hahaha No Jose... this is MY steek!
Dragons Keep SSE
Many non-cheaty things here except for the training and trading portion of the mod. Send a kid to school and access full training to 100 in every skill and unlimited full service trading. Fully customizeable to suit your personal training and trading preferences.
