Modded Item not Spawning in Command Console

[DDarkusTriforce]

Hello. I'm VERY new to modding, so sorry if I'm just derping. I'm making an "evil" item in game called the Amulet of Sithis. It has the model of the Necromancer's amulet and has 3 enchantments. It makes the wearer look like a ghost, makes the wearer muffled, and does double sneak attack damage. The mod's saved ESP saves just fine, and the game runs just fine. When i try to spawn it in for testing, it says that it isn't an item.

I type in:

 

player.additem 04000D63 1

 

but it says that it's an invalid parameter despite the fact that I loaded the ESP into skyrim on the launch window. 04000D63 is the form ID, btw. Please help, I really want to start going into the modding world, but I can't if I don't have a working mod.

 

Thanks!

 

PS: Can anyone tell me where the NPCs are stored in the Object hierarchy? I just can't seem to find them.

It's possible that the first two numbers have changed due to load order. Try using the Help command in the console to double check that you've got the whole correct formID.

 

In the Object Tree, NPCs are under "Actors", at the very top.

I typed in the Help commands, and scrolled up and back down, but didn't find anything about the Amulet of Sithis. BTW, I was talking not just about creatures or generic people. I was actually talking about unique characters, because I want the Amulet of Sithis to be on

  Reveal hidden contents

Astri'd dead body at the end of the Dark Brotherhood quest.

And I think I'm failing hard at finding the characters, because I could not find them in the actor tree.

 

But how do I find the value from the help menu? I didn't see anything about it.

 

Thanks

Unique actors are in the same area. Often the use their name as their editorID, so try searching for that. If not, try the "Find Text" feature.

 

How did you use the Help command? If, for example, I wanted to find the formID for an object called "Amulet of Sithis", I'd use it like this:

Help "Amulet of Sithis" 0

I just typed "help" without anything else. When I typed what you did, it worked and my modded item works great! Thank you SO much! :D

 

I'll just edit it into

  Reveal hidden contents

Astrid's corpse's inventory

as a reward for the questline and put it on steam.

Thanks once more, you've been a great help! :)

You're very welcome, I'm glad to hear that's all working :)
