If you have been working with the Skyrim console you realize that some tasks are super tedious. For example adding perks, removing perks. Noone wants to type in 50000 hex codes and here is where this little utiliy come in!
Convenience Pack, what is it?
The Skyrim console is a very nice and powerful tool to modify the game, however it is also quite complicated to use. I have covered many console commands here. But there is just so much stuff displayed which encouraged me to make things more convenient to use.
Basically I am using a set of commands in a Skyrim batch file which is doing the typing for you. Instead of adding 10 player perks you just run „bat add-restoration“ and your char learns the restoration perks. You have some perks in Archery that you want to get rid off? Type „bat del-archery“ and they will all be removed (You won’t be granted new perk points however) without you having to type every single id.
Here is a list of current commands and what they do:
Items
- add-spell-tomes : places all tomes in your inventoryadd-spell-tomes
use „bat add-spell-tomes“ to run this this command - add-melee-weapons : adds Draedric melee weapons (one-handed/two-handed/dragonbane)add-melee-weapons
use „bat add-melee-weapons“ to run this this command - summon-spectral-horse : summons a ridable spectral horse at the player Dsummon-spectral-horse
use „bat summon-spectral-horse“ to run this this command - add-armor : adds Dragon Scale Armor (unenchanted) and Draedric Armor (unenchanted)add-armor
use „bat add-armor“ to run this this command
Dragon Shouts
- add-all-shouts : adds all dragonshouts and exactly the number of souls you needadd-all-shouts
use „bat add-all-shouts“ to run this this command
Skills
- skills-100 : sets all skills to 100 (no more levelup possible)skills-100
use „bat skills-100“ to run this this command - skills-20 : sets all skills to 20skills-20
use „bat skills-20“ to run this this command
Perks
These commands also have a remove version, if you type „del“ instead of „add“, e.g. „bat del-all-perks“
- add-allperks : adds all perks of any treeadd-allperks
use „bat add-allperks“ to add all perks of any tree
use „bat del-allperks“ to remove all perks of any tree - add-caster : adds all alteration, conjuration, destruction, enchanting, illusion and restoration perksadd-caster

More commands will follow, I am still tuning how to work this tune stuff properly – like a proper levelup, etc. If you find errors or want to help with your own commands leave a comment below, thanks in advance!
1.) Extract all files into your Skyrim directory
2.) Run commands in the Skyrim console, e.g. „bat add-archery“Please link to this page and give proper credits, thanks!

Where i have to extract the files ? it says batch file could not be open/found
@Giodra
You extract them into your Skyrim directory, where the Launcher and the TESV.exe resides. Be sure to type the names properly.
@Myrddin
Ok. so i have to download that, extract the files in the skyrim directory and than?
@Giodra
and then you can use the commands in the skyrim console, like „bat add-archery“
I got the same, says no bat file found..
Nothing ! I have all the text files in the The Elderscrolls V Skyrim folder and nothing , bat file not found !
@Giodra
Do you have a Screenshot of it? I just downloaded this file and used it just fine.
Where you put exactly the folder ? And what files?
@Giodra
I have added a screenshot that should clarify where the files belong, also updated the *.zip file.
Im getting an access denied i know why i just dont know how to fix it any ideas?
nevermind got it
@Adam Crandall
sweet, glad to hear that!
I keep getting the archive is corrupt. Does anyone else have the same problem?
@J Doe
Let me reupload, you may need to clear your browser cache – hotlinking from another site is blocked
Works fine, tested Firefox and Chrome.
.. All these questions and no “ Thank you ! “ …
Thank you for the post. A very nifty tool.
@Byowulf
Haha, thanks, wondered already if it was working at all for others 😀 Thanks, appreciate the feedback!
Welcome, buddy 🙂 And yes, indeed, the script works perfectly fine. Didn’t run into any problems of any kind.
@Byowulf
You should get the new version, I forgot a speech perk initially.
Downloaded once more ( Didn’t notice the speech perk being absent in the first place, since I already increased that one from the start. ) Thanx once more, Myrddin.
Because People Are Having Too Much Fun Using The Awesome Tool He Made.
Awesome tool and it Works like a charm. Thank you.
Thanks for the bat files! You’ve made it much easier to get the perks I want with my character, without worrying about running out, and you’ve saved me the time of typing out the text myself.
@JoeC and @S_O_B
Thanks for the feedback!
Just to say a big Thank You !
It worked very great and saved me a lot of time.
Really god job !
Getting the following error::
Syntax Error. Reference not allowed in this context.
Missing parameter String.
Compiled Script not saved!
Any ideas?
@JR
which command are you trying to execute?
Yeah I’m getting the No bat file found or cannot be opened. So….that sucks 🙁 guess its time to hand type all of these things.
@Mitchell
Hiya, if you could supply a bit more information, then I could try to make it work for you! Which command were you trying to do? Did you copy the files into the correct folder?
del-pick-pocket.txt is broken- need to add spaces. Copy/paste error Im assuming 🙂
I made some nice batch files for adding perk points. Since there’s no console command for it, I basically
1) Set level to 1
2) set all skills to 1
3) player.incpcs everything to 100
Then you can go thru and take all the levels and get a ton of perks.
@David Affinito
Thanks, the bat is fixed.
PS- adding the perks this way doesn’t really work
@David Affinito
Just depends on how you want to add stuff. I don’t like fiddling around with skills, since you need to reset them and also your level to have the reamining feel of „progression“ while playing with a modified game. I like to create a char, add the pers I like and then the shouts, spellbooks and take it from there. Hence this solution works fine for me. There is no command to set perk points to a special value, if that becomes available the add stuff here is obsolete.
Ok got it working. I had to delete it out of the folder and add it agian 🙂 thanks for the quick perks.
YOU ARE A GOD!
THANKS BRO!
heyy some of the files cannot be extracted. the file is corrupt
@Hafix
Just tested it with Chrome, Firefox and 7zip. Works fine.
Instead of using the setav commands for skills, you should use incpcs, as it still gives the player experience.
@Mquesay
No, since depending on the current skill level, there is a different amount of increases required, I have explained this above. You can use a simple search and replace if you prefer to change the command.
the shouts are unlocked ,but with one word only..any batch for mastering all shouts?
You need to use Dragonsouls, just as you would normally, to unlock the shouts, the script adds enough Dragonsouls.
How do i get my skills to 1 again ?
@Xerei
There is only the skills-20 function, but since I am such a great guy, I edited the file for you and you can set your skills to 1 with it. Download the file here and follow the functions above.
yet another ingenius creation, thanks again
wat does expected end of the line compiled script not saved mean?
@Lio
Hello, may I ask where you get this message?
in the console command
@Lio
I’d really like to help, but „the console command“ is not nearly precise enough. If you are telling me which command exactly you are typing then I can launch my Skyrim and check for errors.
it works now guess it hat set in but i have a question about another bug in the game thats really troublesome i cnt store items on people or in barrels or other storage its like drop is non existant when it comes to containers or people
Amazing…. Thanks heaps
Thanks so much! Wish I would have discovered this ages ago!
Man this has got to be alot of work,definitely makes it easier for me. Thanks for your dedication and immense patience
Just a suggestion; do you think you could edit the batch files so that they can be used for followers? I’d do it myself but I’m too lazy! xD
Hey I love this pack good job, just one question is there a way to add 1 of each type enchantment?
this skyrim part two is better than the first one and one thing some of this stuff all you people i don’t know some of this all of you put on here don’t i don’t understand
Hey dude thanks very much for these bat files they have saved me so much work. Thanks for putting in the time and sharing it with the Skyrim gamers!! 🙂
@NightOwl
Glad they were useful to you 🙂
will this give us shouts included in the DLCs or is this just base game? Very nice tool btw
I haven’t touched Skyrim in a while, so this is just the basic version of the shouts, sorry for the inconvenience.
Where do I put the file if I have this game installed via Steam?!?!? Rookie question….I know.
In your game directory, depends on which version of the game you have I suppose. You can try to find the „TESV.exe“ file and then put the files in the same directory 🙂
How to find files in Windows
dude it does not work, the bat add-archery works but the commands wont work i wont get 100 in all stats
Im not really good with computers if i could get a step by step to get them to work that would be really helpful
