Add Soul with Console

Post by Consequence of Grace »

Is there a way to choose the soul in the soul gem?

I have enough gold to get the Dragonling Soul Gem from Phrygias Mages Guild, but it's not there! I assume this is something changed by Unity?

Cheers!

:D

Not with the console, no. I wouldn't doubt there's some method you can open your save file with a text editor and change the contents of your soul gems there, but I've never done it.

I had a look and it appears you are correct. The horse and Dragonling are excluded bar the dragonling involved in a certain quest:

Code: Select all

            // Create a trapped soul type and filter invalid creatures
            MobileTypes soul = MobileTypes.None;
            while (soul == MobileTypes.None)
            {
                MobileTypes randomSoul = (MobileTypes)UnityEngine.Random.Range((int)MobileTypes.Rat, (int)MobileTypes.Lamia + 1);
                if (randomSoul == MobileTypes.Horse_Invalid ||
                    randomSoul == MobileTypes.Dragonling)       // NOTE: Dragonling (34) is soulless, only soul of Dragonling_Alternate (40) from B0B70Y16 has a soul
                    continue;
                else
                    soul = randomSoul;
            }

But why make the Dragonling soul gem have no soul in it? What was the point of that?

And a lot of those on sale (and those consoled in) have animals with a soul value of zero.

If I use

add soul 250

I get 250 Soul gems, with a number of Dragonling, Daedra Lord and Ancient Lich. The rest I dumped on the ground outside the Mages guild.

:(
