Hi, I've played Skyrim for 800 hours in total. That lead to some cool discoveries. I will share some of my images here but it's mainly to showcase the diversity of these tips and tricks. I don't want to sit on such awesome findings on my own. :D Text tutorial covers the same things as the video but it's good to see it in action as well.

I apologize if the voice over is a bit on the bad side. I talk quietly, rarely do voice-overs and I also didn't bring water :sad:

 

Useful mod:

Decorator Helper by CDCooley or a similar mod that enables you to decorate/freeze stuff in place.

 

Useful Console Commands(remove " " in console):

 

 

  • " tai ": freezes the clicked target. Also seems to remove their collision(mostly). You can use this to pin people to walls with arrows, make fun scenes, cool combat scenes etc etc. Works on animals as well. Dragons included :D
  • " tcai ": Makes actors unable to attack. Affects all actors though, can't target a single npc and stop them.

 

  • " tfc ": toggles a free moving camera. With this one the game still runs.

 

  • " tc ": and clicking on an npc or animal etc makes it able for you to control them. Doesn't work well with dragons, I've tried.

 

  • " tfc 1 ": Same as above but with a twist. Toggles a free moving camera but also freezes the current scene. You can still move around at will as a flying camera. Like I mentioned in the video you will disappear if used in 1st person but not in third person. You can use that to hold items in the air since tai doesn´t affect items. That's how I made my image "Thief vs Kettle" back in the day. But now that Decorator Helper exists I don't need to use such tricks anymore :smile: Another good thing about this command is that you can unequip and equip stuff while the game is frozen. So you can f ex equip other armor pieces, unequip your currently held weapon and equip another one(although it will end up sheathed but still.)

  • " tm " : removes UI. A word of warning though, the console also disappears. My recommendation is to write tm, press enter, take the screenshot and press arrow up and enter to get the ui back.

 

  • " player.setscale # " : scales the player. setscale # and clicking on an actor scales the actor instead, also works with player if clicked. Replace # with a number. 1 is default.

 

  • " tcl ": Toggle collision. Didn't mention in the video but only click the player with this. It may cause you to have nightmares on npcs.

 

A note on dragons and freezing them: It doesn't seem to be possible to freeze dragons as well as I had hoped. They seem to withstand it, it works for a few seconds but eventually they will have disappeared. So the way I've had to do it is use toggle combat ai(tcai) and toggle ai(tai) for all actors so that the dragons stand still. Not sure how well it works while they are flying though...
