Overview
Places a specified quantity of an item directly into your inventory using its eight-digit form ID. It is the single most-used cheat for gear, gold, ingredients and crafting materials. Gold uses the special form ID 0000000F, so player.additem 0000000F 1000 grants a thousand septims. Find form IDs with the help command or an item-code reference. The leading zeros can be omitted.
