Gold (septims) is Skyrim's currency, and you can top it up instantly from the console. There is no special "add money" command — gold is just an item, so you spawn it the same way you would any other item, using its form ID 0000000F.
How to add gold
- Open the console with the tilde key (
~). New to it? See the open the console guide. - Type
player.additem 0000000F <amount>, replacing<amount>with how much gold you want. - Press
Enterand close the console — the gold is added to your purse right away.
Examples
player.additem 0000000F 1000— adds 1,000 gold.player.additem 0000000F 100000— adds 100,000 gold.player.removeitem 0000000F 5000— removes 5,000 gold if you overshot.
Notes & tips
- Gold is weightless, so adding a large stack will not slow you down.
- Avoid absurdly huge values — numbers in the billions can wrap around and corrupt the gold counter.
- The same
player.additemcommand works for every item; see our item codes guide and the full item list.
Frequently asked questions
What is the gold item code in Skyrim?
Gold's form ID is 0000000F. To add it, use player.additem 0000000F <amount>, for example player.additem 0000000F 10000 for ten thousand gold.
Does added gold count toward weight?
No. Gold in Skyrim is weightless, so you can add any amount without affecting your carry capacity.
Is there a maximum amount of gold I can add?
There is no practical cap for normal play. Extremely large numbers (in the billions) can overflow the counter, so stick to sensible amounts like a few hundred thousand at most.
Can I remove gold with the console too?
Yes. Use player.removeitem 0000000F <amount> to take gold away, which is useful if you added too much.
