AddItem not working?
So I need to use this command for testing purposes.
The Creation Kit Wiki says I can use the command like this:

player.AddItem ArmorGlassShield 1

ArmorGlassShield is a Creation Kit ID.
I try the ID of my weapon, doesn't work. Then I try the ID of a vanilla item (DaedricSword), and it won't work either!

Hmm, what about Glass (space) Shield.

Try it's game name AND, maybe try:

(console) help(space)(shift+2)Glass Shield(shift+2)(enter)
help "Glass Shield"

Then use the ID that the console provides from that request...(in game)

(console) player.additem(space)(ID)(space)(count)
player.additem (CONSOLE ID) 1

If you want 20 Shields, insert the value '20'

Here use this WIKI. It has everything you need. BTW the Command line is not case senesitive. No need for capital letters. If it did not work then you typed something in wrong.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Console_Commands_(Skyrim)

Also you dont type in the name of the item you want. Thats is incorrect. You type in the ID number. Everything has one. This is the item number for a glass shield. 0001393c Sooo

Player.additem 0001393c 1 would be the correct code for a glass shield.

Yes....Whenever you want to know the console ID for anything from a Red mountain Flower to a Daedric GreatSword...(I suppose there's the wiki lol) or type help "red mountain flower" and hit enter and it will give you various codes. Write these down and try them in the player.additem command to learn what you get.

ING is ingredient form.
MISC is the in-game, 1st person view, item

For example, there are two similar but different console ID codes for soul gems. You do not know which is filled and which is empty until you experiment inputting the two codes that the 'help' command brings up :)

Well, this is just my humble take on it hehe

Oh yeah...I just knock up a handful of grand soul gems for my Bow huehue...It wasn't me! It was FrogPrincess' fault for luring me to the dark side! I aint dun nuffin! c.c

Thanks, but I don't want a glass shield. It's the Creation Kit wiki's example.
I need to get an item I made in the Creation Kit, and I have no way to know what its game ID is.
I'm pretty sure the solution to this is amazingly stupid.

Since you made the item yourself, you know its name right?
If so, type in
help "<Item name>"
As someone above me posted, that should give you a list of all items ingame with that name.
Then just use the ID that the item in the list got.
Since it is a mod, it will be an item that doesnt start with 00 but with something like 06 or something, depending on how many mods you got installed and what the load order is.

I'll try that.
Thanks.

It worked now. Thanks Master Dan/Tapferer.

Although my weapon is... Quite game-breaking. I hit the air and bam! Instant One-Handed Level 100...

hey im having the same issue. trying to get an ebony sword back that i lost and tried typing in the "player.additem 0004A38F" command from the wiki and nothing

1.) Open the console.

2.) Type in the following (WITH quotes):

help "ebony sword"

3.) Page up / Page down through the results. You'll need to find one that calls itself a weapon, and it'll have an 8-digit hexadecimal code.

4.) The FIRST TWO digits WILL change depending on what mods, if any, you have installed. Make ABSOLUTELY SURE to get the ENTIRE 8-digit code 100% correct.

5.) Type in the 8 digit code via the additem command, as shown (using a fictional 12345678 code as an example:

player.additem 12345678 1

6.) That "1" at the very end, is how many items are added to the inventory.

If this doesn't work, then you did something wrong.

Also worth noting, you don't necessarily need "leading zeros." For example, the code for a septim is 0000000F which is SEVEN zero's followed by the F. You could omit all leading zero's and just type "player.additem F 9999" to add 9,999 gold straight to your inventory. OR you could type in all those 0's if you want.
