  • Level up without the grind
  • Survive what should have killed you
  • Single-player only, always

Nine cheats, and three of them are free. Skyrim is fourteen years old and its systems are famously open, so the trainer covers the few places where the game still says no.

All The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition cheats

9 cheats in 4 groups. 3 free, 6 with a premium plan.

Money/Resources

  • Covers most of the rest of the list on its own: buying, selling and carrying, in a single free cheat.

Skills/Experience

  • Perk points arrive one per level, and a level comes from using skills you may not want to use just to get there. This adds one directly.
  • -1 Perkpointfree
  • Carry weight decides how much of a dungeon comes home with you. This removes that limit entirely.
  • Always 1 werewolf/vampire perk
  • Always 0 werewolf/vampire perk

Health/Energy

  • Keeps the Dragonborn standing through a fight, dragon or otherwise.
  • Shouts sit behind a real cooldown that makes them situational. This removes it, for shouts as a main combat tool instead of an occasional one.

Construction

  • Crafting chains need materials from across the map, smithed and improved at specific stations. This lowers the bar for what you can make with what you have.

Why cheats make sense in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

Perk points arrive one per level, and a level comes from using skills you may not want to use. Crafting chains need materials from across the map, carry weight decides how much of a dungeon comes home with you, and shouts sit behind a cooldown that makes them situational rather than central. The gold and item multiplier is free and covers most of the rest.

  • Perk points are the only real currency

    Plus one and minus one perk point are both free. Skyrim levels by doing, which means a character build is a record of what you did rather than what you planned.
  • Carry weight is the dungeon tax

    Infinite weight is in the list because the loot in a Nordic ruin outweighs what a Dragonborn can carry, and the walk back at reduced speed is legendary for the wrong reasons.
  • Shouts are on a timer

    No shout cooldown exists because the game's signature mechanic is rationed. Unchained, shouts become a build rather than a set piece.

How game trainers work

When The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition gates the build you wanted behind hours of levelling, a trainer changes the number instead.

  1. 1Install the PLITCH trainer and start The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition.
  2. 2Pick the cheats you want. Free ones are included, premium ones need a plan.
  3. 3Switch them on and off with hotkeys while you play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, in single-player.

Cheats work in single-player only. They do not change your game files, and you can turn every one of them off again. Independent trainer page for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition. Not affiliated with the publisher or developer.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition trainer FAQ

Which Skyrim cheats are free?

Three of the nine: the gold and item multiplier and both perk point switches. Godmode, crafting and infinite weight need a premium plan.

Does this work with mods and SKSE?

It changes values in the running game rather than the load order, so it usually applies, though a mod touching the same values can conflict.

Will cheats disable achievements?

Unlike console commands, the trainer does not set the game's own cheat flag, but test on a save you can afford to lose.
