Im looking to find a nice location to insert my house entrance but Im finding it difficult to get around the map. Ive tried loading the tamriel exterior and picking from the list but I dont know where half the stuff is. I want to be able to find a place in game, and perhaps get the cell co-ordinates for that location, is there a console command to do this? I also want to know if there is a way to have all the cells active in the render window and just scroll across like i normally would using the in game map?

I asked this question a little while ago, andw as told there are no console commands to tell you what cell you are in. I was pointed at this: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2251

Hi,

There's a way to do it.

Create a dummy Quest "LocQuest" with 2 stages 0 and 10

on 10 stage add the following script code

debug.MessageBox(Game.GetPlayer().GetCurrentLocation)

In game, open the console and enter "setstage LocQuest 10"

A messageBox should appear with a message like [Location=<0001917D>]

Open in CK WorldData -> Location and search with the ID, column FormID

If i find a better way i will post it

^^^ That (or similar) is the only way I know in game (there does not appear to be a console command!)


OR - I use this excellent reference (though it is not, I have read, 100% accurate): http://www.skyrimsearch.com/cells.php

At your current location open the console and type:

Player.GetPos x => note down
Player.GetPos Y => note down
Divide both by 4096 => cell coordinates
