The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Getting Stuff
In order to get stuff with the "player.additem" command, you have to know the form number of the item you want. For example, the form number for gold coins is F, so to get 100 gold, you'd type: player.additem f 100.
You can use the "player.inv" command to get a list of form numbers for your current inventory items, which will allow you to give yourself more of anything you already have. Note that the list can be scrolled using the PgUp and PgDn keys that aren't on the numeric keypad.
To get the form number for something you don't have, use the "help" command along with part or all of the item's name in quote (") marks, followed by a 4. For instance, to get a list of the form numbers for every item that has the words "iron sword" in its name, you'd type: help "iron sword" 4.
