Can't add nails using the console...

[Echelon_DnB]

Hiya folks. I'm trying to add nails using the console command player.additem 0300300f 500
I'm using the legendary version of Skyrim with all 3 expansions automatically added. However, when I do this I get an error saying something regarding the error parameter object id. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help please?

you cant add items using console commands using a dlc, is my guess i have the same problem.

[Echelon_DnB]

I can add other stuff like ore, but not housing materials themself (nails, fittings, hinges, locks). It's not that big a deal but it's a lil bit annoying :P

[Nogamertag0666]

thats because the ores was ment to be used in skyrim its self i dont know why you cant add dlc items useing console commands, just not in the main game. i havent played in a month, but there are mods you can use for a chest full of building stuff on nexus sorry for the spelling new keyborad not used to yet

When you add items that are part of a DLC, you must put as the first two digits where that DLC is in your load order.

So for instance you inputted player.additem 0300300f 500. The object id for nails is XX00300f where XX would be the load order position.

You included 03 as the first two digits. Is Hearthfire the third item in your load order?

If you have problems you can try spamming the numbers 03, 04, 05 etc until you hit on the proper one

Thanks for the replies guys! @ Bobczes - Hearthfire is 3rd in th load order. That's why it seems really odd that it isn't working. No worries I'll try some other prefixes or just make them! Thanks for trying to help mate! :D

If you are going by the load order in the opening splash screen Data Files, There are two that are not included there. Skyrim.esm and Update.esm

Well, you could use a console command to give yourself plenty of iron ingots, then make as many nails as you want.

[Echelon_DnB]

I figured it out. I use quite a few other mods (lighting etc). So instead of prefixing with 03, I prefixed everything with 04 and that worked. :)

An iron ingot will give you 10 nails, IIRC.

It’s not difficult to mine iron ore and corundum ore (UESP has the mines and other locations listed and mapped for every ore), and smelt them into ingots to use for your Hearthfire houses. There is always a random (and highly probable) opportunity to mine gemstones in the process. If you don’t want to carry pickaxes around with you (I carry Hoarfrost), they’re available in most mines. Put them back when you’ve finished, and the next time you need them they’ll be there. Mine often so the ore veins can regenerate.

Keep everything as ore until you need it. (Having a steel ingot when you need an iron ingot and corundum ingot for a lock will yield only frustration!)



If you want to find out the first two digits of an ID code (Ref ID or Base ID) for Hearthfire items, go into the console and type:

Help "Rayya"

or the name of any other Hearthfire Housecarl. The first two digits of their IDs will be the same for all the IDs of Hearthfire.

To find out the proper number to enter for the for the first two zeros in a DLC item for example XX00300f, the twos Xs would are the zeros, you must know what DLC the item is from and what that DLC's load order is. You can find the load order by using the program Nexus Mod Manager (NMM), I DON'T HAVE ANY OWNERSHIP TO NEXUS MOD MANAGER OR ITS CONTENTS. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager/. Once downloading NMM configure the location of Skyrim on your computer. Once NMM is configure it should bring you to a page with many small folder icons and various names for them. Toward the top right of the screen there is a tab called "plugin" in this section it will tell you the load order to all your DLCs, Adons and Mods, The number place in which the DLC loads through is the number you replace the first two zeros the most common and suggest order would be; "Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm, Dragonborn.esm, HearthFires.esm then followed by any other mods or adons you so please in order of which the bulleted plugins on each plugins page. If any errors occurs after undergoing this process feel free to message me directly at [e-mail] with the subject as "Steam Member Help Request". Note if the subject is not set correctly I will not open under the sercumstances of thinking they are spam or junk mail. I hope my guide has helped you fix your Skyrim problem, There are other ways of doing it but I had found this one day using Nexus Mod Manager and I thought I'd help out fellow Skyrim players. As always, Have A Good Day!

thats because its not 0300300f it should be player.additem 0100300f 500
try that one it works for me :P

for those of you still trying to add dlc items useing the command console ill tell you tight now how to do it.
1. get the item in your inventory preferable if its a stackable item get atleast 10
2. go in your invintory and drop the item on the ground in a non clutterd area and well lit so u can see the item.
3. pull up your command console whal looking down at the item and you need to click on the item when the command console is up.
4. the id of the item u want to use for the "player.additem" code is NOT the ID it is the baseID code. so for my code it is 0200300f. in other words for me i would type

"player.additem 0200300f 9999"

the 9999 beaing the ammount.
your welcome in advance i hope this helps all of you ^_^

For crying out loud, use the console command to add iron ingots, and craft them into nails.

[xTGN DustinWS]

the problem with dooing it that way is its verry time consuming you can only make 10 nails at a time where as this way all you have to do is to make one stack drop it pull the command console up and click on the nails on the ground and itll tell you the command id for the console command for nails ^_^

[Uncle64]

Use one mod that allows you to have nails.
