Does using console command mark you as cheater? [duplicate]
Console commands do not affect achievements in Skyrim. I've used it to clip through places when I ended up falling and becoming stuck and still received achievements in the same session. I've also togged tgm on occasion while testing stuff and still received achievements after I finished testing without restarting my game.
Once you get past all the speculation, this thread seems to confirm that using console commands do not affect achievements at all.
Of note from that thread:
- One person got the buy a house achievement right after giving himself 5000 gold via additem.
- Another person still continued to receive achievements despite walking around with an max encumbrance weight of 5000 via modav.
NO, using the console does not disqualify you from gaining Steam achievements in Skyrim. I use console commands quite frequently, ranging from the innocuous (fov 90
) to the uber-cheaty (tgm
, tim
, player.modav carryweight 1000
) and have received all Steam achievements corresponding to events in my game, even within the same game session - restarting is not required.
In the most extreme case, I was playing around with player.modav dragonsouls
and used my cheat-provided souls to buy levels 2 and 3 of the Throw Voice shout to see how it behaved at higher levels. When I exited the game, I noticed that I had received the achievement for unlocking all three words of a shout; this achievement was gained purely through blatant console cheating and Steam either didn't notice when my souls jumped from 0 to 100 in an instant or didn't care.
