Are you on the lookout for Oblivion console commands to make your journey across Cyrodiil a bit easier? Bethesda RPGs already allow for quite a bit of freedom, but console commands and cheats can help you blaze through quests, stock up on gold, or get your hands on any item you can think of.
There are fun console commands that can get you powerful gear or more potions than you can count, but there are also practical cheats that can tailor the game to your liking as well. Whether you're in a sticky situation where you can't progress a quest or you've accidentally lost a crucial item, these Oblivion console commands will help you cheat your way back on track.
How to use Oblivion cheats and console commands
To use console commands in Oblivion, just hit the tilde (~) key and enter your desired cheat. Multiple console commands can be active at the same time, and some of them (like god mode) last indefinitely. Using console commands won't disable achievements, either, so go wild.
If you've played other Bethesda games like Starfield or Skyrim, it's basically the same process in Oblivion. As always, these console commands can seriously mess up your game if you're not careful. You could potentially experience crashes or other strange bugs when you turn them on, so back up your save file just in case anything goes wrong.

Oblivion targeted console commands
These console commands can be used on any targeted character or NPC to tweak them to your liking. To target an object or NPC, open the console command line by pressing the tilde key and then click whoever or whatever you want. The targeted item or NPC will be displayed at the top of the screen.
You can also use these commands on yourself by adding the "player." prefix to the front of the command. For example "player.additem" will add something to your inventory while "additem" will affect whichever character you are targeting.
