Editing Weapon Damage

[Varendis]

Ok, so I want to edit my damage so that I can dictate how much my Greatsword will do. Previously, on an old save file, my greatsword (A modded, stand-alone weapon ) did around 800 damage and showed up green in it's stat box. I'm not exactly sure how I managed that, but I had been playing around with the console commands ( player.mod/set/force/av twohanded ## )

 

However, I recently had an accident with Bethesda's horrible save game managing and my file was overwritten by a new character.

So, I've made another character for two-handed blades and I can't for the life of me figure this out.

 

I've used .modav twohanded ##. Used the .setav, and used the .forceav. I've even used all three to set them at the same desired number, but my weapon's damage stay at 39. I've also tried leveling up the skill and level of my character after inputting the commands into the console, but still no change.

 

I've tried searching for some reason or means to do it, but alas, here I am.

 

If anyone knows how to do/fix or manage this, I'd be grateful!

It's so hard to cheat right. I know. :thumbsup:

 

This is what I do:

 

player.modav smithing 500

 

Then I go use the grinder on my axe or sword or bow (just make sure you have all the ingots you need).

 

Then:

 

player.modav smithing -500

Awesome! I'll give this a shot! Thanks.
