Ah,Bethesdagames. Playing through them the way the devs intended is only half the fun. The other half is bending them to your will with mods and console commands, cheating your way through the open world. So, lo and behold, that’s exactly whatStarfieldplayers are getting up to already.
On the second day of early access, Starfield fans have already found out how to enable console commands, and how they can use them to mess around in Bethesda’s latestRPG. From changing the size of pretty much everything, killing any NPC you want, and even activating god mode, the only limit here is your imagination. Lists are being shared online to make console commands easier for newcomers, teaching them how to play Starfield however they want.

After just a day of playing, lists of various commands you can use to spawn items, infinite credits, or even a range of cheat codes have started circulating online. Most of these appear to have been compiled in a post on the subreddit, giving you some options to play around with.
For anyone looking, the item ID for credits is 0000000F. It seems that you can generate more at a time by putting the quantity you want afterwards. So, if you wanted 1,000, you’d type “player.additem 0000000F 1000”. The same logic applies to other items, but giving yourself a bunch of cash out of nowhere will always come in handy.
There are a few drawbacks to playing this way, however. First of all, it’s pretty immersion-breaking, so first playthroughs are probably better played as the devs intended. Then, there’s the fact that console commands are currently only available on console, soXboxplayers are missing out on all the fun. Lastly, console commands being enabled will turn off achievements, as to stop fans from cheating their way to completing them all.
That being said, there’salready a modto get around that last point, so get that installed and you’re good to go. It’s already been downloaded more than 17,000 times as I write this article, so if you’re playing Starfield modded from launch, you’re clearly not alone.
In any case, these tools have given modders a lot to work with. So much so that the game’sNexus Modspage is already stacked. Bethesda has confirmed that official mod support is on the way too, so hopefully console players will be able to join in on the fun soon enough. If it’s anything like other Bethesda games, they’ll be free, ever since the company’s disastrous attempt to monetise them.
