All Oblivion Remastered Console Commands and Cheats

Most classic Oblivion console commands carry over into the Remastered version with no changes — but some don’t work at all, and a handful have been replaced by new equivalents. This guide covers every working console command in Oblivion Remastered, tested against the April 2025 release, with a compatibility column so you know exactly what to expect before you open the console.

Quick orientation: press ~ (tilde) to open the console, type your command, hit Enter. Achievements are disabled the moment you do this. Back up your save first.

How to Open the Console and What to Know Before You Start

The console in Oblivion Remastered works exactly the same way it did in the original 2006 release — tilde key opens it, the same key closes it. Commands are not case-sensitive. You can stack multiple active commands simultaneously; god mode and noclip can run at the same time, for instance.

Two things are different in Remastered compared to the original. First: achievements are disabled as soon as you enter any console command in a session. The game warns you when you open the console for the first time. If you care about achievements, finish them before touching the console. Second: a small number of toggle commands tied to legacy rendering features no longer do anything — the Remastered engine handles those systems differently, so commands like tg (grass toggle) and tws (water rendering) are effectively dead.

One practical tip that saves headaches: when targeting an NPC or object for targeted commands, click on them after opening the console, not before. The selected reference appears at the top of the console window. If nothing appears there, your command will either fail silently or affect the wrong thing.

For player-specific commands, prefix with player. — so player.additem goes to your inventory, while additem goes to whatever NPC or container you’ve targeted. Mix those up and you’ll be handing a random guard all your lockpicks.

Finally: caqs (complete all quest stages) is in this guide, but treat it like a nuclear option. It completes every quest in the game simultaneously, which can corrupt your save state in ways that are very hard to undo. Use setstage for individual quest fixes instead.

Oblivion Remastered Console Commands

The Remastered version introduced a small set of new commands — or replaced old ones — specifically because the engine swap changed how certain systems work. These are the commands that differ from the 2006 original.

tcl still works for toggling collision on a targeted NPC or object — it just no longer toggles player noclip on its own. For that you now need Ghost and Walk as a pair.

The Best Oblivion Cheats to Keep on Hand

Most people opening the console want one of four things: infinite money, more carry weight, god mode, or map markers. These cover all of it.

One that’s worth calling out: player.setgs fmoverunmult [#], which controlled sprint speed in the original, does not work in Remastered. If you want to move faster, bump Speed via player.setav speed 100 (or higher) instead.

Oblivion Toggle Console Commands

Toggle commands require no target and no additional parameters — type them and something switches on or off. Several of these are broken in Remastered due to the engine rewrite; they’re included here precisely so you don’t waste time troubleshooting them.

The pattern here is clear: anything touching the legacy renderer is gone. The visual toggle commands that survived (tll, tlv) happen to affect geometry systems that the Remastered engine still exposes. Everything tied to the old water, sky, and grass pipelines is dead.

Oblivion Targeted Console Commands

These commands act on whatever reference you’ve clicked in the console — an NPC, a container, a door, or any object in the world. Open the console first, then click your target, then type the command. The target’s reference ID shows at the top of the screen when selected correctly.

Add player. as a prefix to redirect any of these at yourself instead of a target. The compatibility picture here is almost entirely clean — nearly every targeted command survived the remaster intact.

The stopcombat and startcombat failures are a minor annoyance. If you need to end a fight quickly, tcai (toggle combat AI) is your workaround — it stops all NPC combat across the board rather than per-target, but it gets the job done.

Oblivion Character Console Commands

These commands let you reshape your character directly — levels, skills, attributes, appearance menus, and more. Everything prefixed with player. here affects only you; drop the prefix and target an NPC to apply the same changes to them.

Worth noting: modpca is broken in Remastered, but player.setav covers the same ground more reliably anyway — it sets the value absolutely rather than adding to it, so you have full control. If you used modpca habitually in the original, just switch your workflow to player.setav [attribute] [desired value].

Oblivion Quest Commands

Quest commands are some of the most practically useful things in the console, especially in a game where a misplaced corpse or broken script can brick a questline entirely. These are your tools for diagnosing what’s wrong and forcing things forward.

The workflow for a stuck quest: run showquesttargets to get the quest ID and current stage, then use setstage [Quest ID] [next stage] to push past the blocker. Quest stages increment in steps of 10 — so if you’re on stage 20, try setstage [ID] 30. This is far safer than completequest, which can skip reward triggers and follow-on dialogue.

Miscellaneous Commands Worth Knowing

set timescale to [#] is genuinely underrated for roleplay or screenshot purposes. The default value of 30 means one real minute equals 30 in-game minutes. Drop it to 1 for near-real-time days, or crank it to 100 if you want to watch the sun cycle while you’re AFK. It has no effect on NPC schedules in a way that breaks quests — safe to use freely.

If you’re going deep on character builds or want to set up a specific scenario, the combination of player.setav for attributes, advskill for skills, and showracemenu to reshape your appearance gives you complete control over your character at any point in the game — no restart required. That’s probably the most practical takeaway from this entire list for anyone who started a character and regretted their choices twenty hours in.
