Player.additem not working for dlc items

[Fredrick Beans]

Im trying to give myself steel bolts from Dawngaurd dlc but it doesn't work it just says "Compiled script not saved!" What do I do.

First post exactly what you are typing in the console

[gnewna]

Are you typing the correct code? The files should be in the following positions in your load order:

Skyrim.esm
Update.esm
Dawnguard.esm
Hearthfires.esm
Dragonborn.esm

There should NOT be any mod files anywhere above Dragonborn.

Assuming all this is correct, the first two characters of any DLC item code should be, I believe (I'm getting ready for bed so I might be off by 1)

02 Dawnguard
03 Hearthfire
04 Dragonborn

So for example if you've looked up an item on a wiki, it probably has it written like xx0001234? If so, you replace the xx with the relevant number. If you want to be extra sure of the number, try typing the following into the console

help Serana
(this will bring up results relating to the Dawnguard NPC by that name, check the first two digits)
help Rayya
(likewise Hearthfire)
help Miraak
(Dragonborn)

You can also type

help "steel bolt"

And look through the list (page up and down to navigate if needed) for "ammo" in all caps, NOT "proj".

(Usual disclaimer: console codes are risky, use responsibly, always make a menu save first, etc. Adding something simple like bolts is probably pretty safe, but never add stuff like unique quest rewards (Dawnbreaker, for example).)

help "items actual name" 4

It has to be the items name. "Potion of Blood", not "Blood Potion". There should be an item that comes up with the Alch (I think) tag. That is the potion. It should be number xx018ef3. You will have to replace the xx with the appropriate number for the DLC. Normally this would varry depending on which DLCs you have installed, but since everyone with the Special Edition has all the DLCs installed, the first 2 numbers would be 02 for Dawnguard items.

BTW If ya no sure of the order, just go though em 1 by 1, I.E 01xxxx 02xxxxx 03xxxxxx eventually it'll work, can never remember the order, so that's what I do
