Oblivion Console Commands & Cheats — Full PC Guide
Important disclaimer
Console commands are PC-only. Oblivion's console does not disable achievements by default (the game predates achievement systems). Commands that skip quests may cause script conflicts — use player.setstage sparingly.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's cheat system is a developer console — press the tilde key (~) in-game to open it and type commands directly. Bethesda games were built with console access in mind; the commands are well-documented and cover everything from gold and items to character stats and quest flags.
