This guide includes a list of my personal favourite and very handy console commands. Of course, your favourite console commands could be different to mine but I personally think that these are the essentials to using console commands.

To use console commands hit ^ , ° or tilde (~) (key varies based on keyboard layout). (May be accessed on non-ironman games.)

So that's that, those are some of my personal favourite essential console commands for when I'm in a silly goofy mood. I hope you enjoy this, as always, favourite it if you enjoyed it and if you double-enjoyed it, you can give me an award.

Many thanks for reading and I won't read the comments that much but if you have any suggestions or constructive criticism, I'd be glad to hear it and edit/change/add things to this guide.

You can view all the possible console commands on their official wiki page which I'll link below,
