Some commands, such as addallitems, don't need a modifier. To use this cheat, simply enter the following in the console:
- addallitems
However, others will need something extra added to make them work. For example, the additem command won't do anything unless you specify the item that you want. This is written in the list below as:
- additem [item name]
However, you should enter it into the console as:
- additem modernaxe
