7. FAQ
Why make this? Some commands were not available from papyrus but are from console.
Can I include this with my mod? I would rather you didn't, if there's an update and multiple mods include this then the versioning becomes confusing and would cause problems. Include link here as requirement or write your mod with optional support ConsoleUtil. GetVersion will return 0 if mod isn't installed.
I screwed up my game Console commands are powerful and can cause a lot of problems if misused. Make sure you (or mod author) knows what they are doing.
It doesn't work
Create a text file in Skyrim's directory called "ConsolePlugin.txt", start Skyrim and get to the part where it doesn't work, then open the file and see if any errors were written. If no errors then your script is incorrect or plugin wasn't loaded in SKSE.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community staple for modders (4,688 endorsements) — if you're into script modding, this is a known quantity.
- Huge download count (188,831) shows it's been widely used across the community.
- Simple concept that fills a real gap — console access from Papyrus opens up a lot of scripting possibilities.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015 — likely outdated for the Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, so check compatibility before using.
- No detailed documentation or examples provided in the description, so you'll need to dig into the scripts or community guides.
- Requires SKSE and Papyrus knowledge — not for casual mod users, only for modders comfortable with scripting.
For Skyrim modders who want to add console command execution or reference manipulation to their scripts. If you're a player just looking for gameplay mods, this isn't for you — it's a resource for creators.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, this mod may not work — check for a port or alternative before installing.
- Since it's a modder resource, you'll need SKSE installed to use the Papyrus functions in your own mods.
- Look up example scripts on the Nexus forums or YouTube to see how to call these functions in practice.
