No. Using console commands disables achievements.

Most of the time you won't even get this achievement if you play legit, it's bugged as hell.

Well I know a mod on the nexus were a barrel can be found in Dragonsreach with all daedric artifact inside and from what I've read it will count towards the achievement.

There are a couple ways to avoid killing people you might need, like using Mephala's blade to get Namira's ring.
Hell, if you're talking about Ebony Mail, just grab a sellsword from a tavern, nobody's going to care.

Using console commands DOES NOT disable achievements under any circumstances. There are achievements you cannot get with the console, such as this one, but it certainly doesnt stop them from happening
Neither does using mods.

Console commands in Skyrim do not seem to disable achievements. Just do that.
Or... make a special run through of the game with a bastard character, no main quest, no side quests, just the quests necessary for that achievement.

The other way is do play the game normally but leave all those daedric quests that have problems until the end. Save the game, do those quests as an s.o.b. then restore.

Personally, I don't bother. It's just an achievement, it means less than nothing. Worst modern feature for games, since it makes players agonize over stuff like this.

Source? Back when I cared about that sort of things, it was widely accepted that using the console disabled achievements for that game session: you supposedly needed to exit the game and restart it to enable achievements again, and an ongoing achievement like Oblivion Walker wouldn't pop if you used the console in the same session you got one of the artefacts.

Mods don't prevent achievements though, we agree on that.

- Using console commands does not disable achievements for Skyrim. Situation might be different for other games.

- Items gained by console commands does not enable achievements from them.

- Using console commands can mess up your game, because setting quest stages and items can still jump over triggers from events related to other quests. Always check UESPWiki for article about the quest you are attempting to solve, before using any console commands.

- Extra: If peoples recommend that you use that Steam Achievement Manager, then ignore them and the tool. It is not supported or approved by Steam and this jury-rigged pile of bits is already unstable enough as it is.
