Oblivion Console Commands – Cheat Codes and More in 2022

Table of Contents Table of Contents

Oblivion was one of the most popular entries in the Elder Scrolls series when it first came out. As the first entry in the series during the seventh generation of console, it did everything Morrowind managed to do and much more. It’s been out for over a decade and a half at this point, and people have spent an insane amount of time figuring out all of the nooks and crannies that the game has to hide, but where is there to go from here? Luckily, console commands might just hold the answer to that question.

You can use console commands to alter the gameplay experience completely. Whether you’re spawning in powerful items, updating your stats, or even flying through walls as an invincible god, there’s almost nothing that you can’t do with Oblivion console commands.

How to Open the Console

You’ll have to do some slight tinkering with the internal files of Oblivion to enable console commands. Navigate to your ‘My Documents’ folder and locate My Games>Oblivion. Inside, you’ll find the Oblivion.ini file, which can be edited using your notepad application. Open the file and add the line below under the [Interface] heading. Bear in mind that some versions of the game may already have the line included, but make sure that the number is set to 1, not 0, or the console won’t open. Once you’ve done this, press the key underneath your Esc key to open the console.

Oblivion Useful Console Commands

There are a plethora of different commands that you can use in Oblivion, so we’ve separated the commands into different sections below to make them easier for you to find.

Oblivion Item Spawning Console Commands

Spawning items is insanely useful in Oblivion, especially since they patched out that item duplication glitch that made the launch of the game so much fun. When you’re spawning items, use the formula below:

player.additem [Item ID] [Amount]

Each item has its own Item ID which you need to substitute for the [Item ID] tag in the code above. [Amount] refers to the number of said item that you want to spawn. Here’s an example of a command that will give you 1,000,000 gold:

player.additem 000000f 1000000

Below are some item codes for essential items in the game. You can also find out what a particular item’s ID is by dropping it onto the ground, then clicking on the item you want to spawn. If an item isn’t noted down below, you can easily find it yourself, and it’s a good idea to note down or learn any item IDs that you plan on using often.
