item codes not working

[kage1822]

over the years Ive beaten the game on console so many times, but now doing so on PC, i don't mind a few cheats here and there, found all the item codes but only got 2 of them to work, what's going on with the codes?

The item codes are different for every setup. You can't search the internet for them, unless they are vanilla items like lockpicks or gold.
What you do is type "help itemname" into the console, which will then give you a list of hits and the corresponding id's.

For instance every dawnguard items start with 02 Hearhfires 03 and dragonborn 04 as for the rest indeed type help and then the itemname in quotes if it's more than one word.

[kage1822]

They are vanilla game such as dragonscale, etc
I was able to get glass bow (000139a5 1) and daedic arrows (000139co x) to work, but nothing else (well nothing else that i actually wanted)

Ahhh

Wait help [itemname] and not help.[itemname]?

[SpeedFreak1972]

the armor is dragonscale (one word dragonscale armor, boots, etc), however the crafting component dragon scales are 2 words

no for instance it would be help "dragonscale armor"

[kage1822]

I know, but u just input the code not the name, like what i did on the bow and arrows

[SpeedFreak1972]

what you get would be player.additem and then the code with the amount which you can find with help

Yes you can look them up online just fine. If its from a DLC, then the code would just be listed as xx######. The only thing that varies is the first 2 numbers (xx), and even that won't change in this case as the special edition has all DLCs already included so you just need to know which DLC added it and put in the appropriate numbers.

Yeah for simplicities sake i inlcuded the dlc in what i meant by vanilla. Anyway its faster to just use the console instead of google and will always work.

Just use the help command.
help dragonscale
The above will output any matches and the id's. By any matches i mean it will show you dragonscale armor, boots, gloves etc and enchanted versions as well (use page up/down to scroll). Armor will be tagged by ARMO at the start of the line. Weapons will be WEAP and so forth.
help "dragonscale armor"
This will only show any records that include "dragonscale armor" (if you have two words you need to put them in " ") and will exclude dragonscale boots/helm etc. For example it will show dragonscale armor of major destruction/alteration and so on as well as the non-enchanted version.
player.additem itemid amount
This will then give you the item.

As the Special Edition includes all 3 DLCs, unless something is wrong in your installation, your prefixes are probably

Skyrim.esm 00
Update.esm 01
Dawnguard.esm 02
HearthFires.esm 03
Dragonborn.esm 04

You can download and install the "ADD Item Menu" Mod from nexus mods.
