Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Tweak Guide
[Page 11] Console Commands
This section contains all the console commands for Oblivion. To activate the in-game console, first check that the bAllowConsole setting in your Oblivion.ini file is set to 1, which it should be by default (See Advanced Tweaking section above). Next, start Oblivion and load up a game. To open or close the console at any time, press the '~' key (the key above TAB). This may vary on some european keyboards, in which case try the ' button, or the button next to 1 to open your console.
While the console is open the game will be paused, your HUD will disappear, and you will notice a thin white horizontal cursor prompt in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. You can type in any of the console commands below in long form or use the short form if one is provided (in brackets). For example, you can either type in togglewireframe or twf and press ENTER, and the command to turn wireframe mode on/off will be executed. See the next page for details of how to use specific useful commands.
