The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hints

How can I use the "additem" command?

  • 1 of 7: First, use the TAB key to get a third-person view of your character so that it's possible to click on him.
  • 2 of 7: Then press ~ to get the console window. Once it's up, click on your character to get the console window's title bar to read "Console (PlayerSaveGame)."
  • 3 of 7: Then type your "additem" command like this:

    additem "gold_100" 5000
  • 4 of 7: NOTE: Instead of selecting your character as described above, you could just put "player->" in front of each command, as in:

    player->additem "gold_100" 5000
  • 5 of 7: That example command will put 5,000 gold directly into your character's inventory. You could also use "additem" to get other items (as in the example below), but "placeatpc" works just as well for everything except gold.

    additem "daedric_pauldron_left" 1
  • 6 of 7: Note that the number following the item name needs to be in the range 1 to 32,768. If you want to give yourself one million gold with "additem," you'll have to do it 32,768 gold at a time (which would take about 30 times). Remember that you can repeat commands by pressing the up arrow key and then ENTER.
  • 7 of 7: A related command to "additem" is "addsoulgem." It can be used to give yourself a pre-charged soul gem of any type with any soul. Below are some examples. (Note that the third one will only work if you have Tribunal installed.)

    addsoulgem "golden saint" misc_soulgem_grand
    addsoulgem "vivec_god" misc_soulgem_grand
    addsoulgem "almalexia" misc_soulgem_grand
