Skyrim: Item and gold commands

Adding items in Skyrim works through ID numbers. Gold and lockpicks have fixed IDs, but for other items you need to find the ID with the search command. This section covers both, and once you learn the search command, it opens the door to every item in the game.

Most codes here need cheats turned on first. See the section on how to open the console.
